Backpacks and bags to carry an emergency kit or outdoor set. Choose on capacity in litres, layout and carrying comfort.
More about backpacks & bags
An emergency kit is only useful if you can actually pick it up and walk, and that is where the choice of pack starts. For a 72 hour set for one person, 20 to 30 litres is usually enough; for a family or a longer period, 40 to 60 litres is more realistic. Then look at the layout and the carry system, because adjustable shoulder straps and a hip belt shift the load onto your hips instead of your shoulders. Choose a bag you can leave fully packed, so you can grab it in the dark without sorting anything first.

For a 72 hour kit for one person, 20 to 30 litres is usually enough; for a family or a longer stretch you are looking at 40 to 60 litres. Then judge carrying comfort, because weight becomes a limit sooner than space: adjustable shoulder straps and a hip belt move the load to your hips, and you feel the difference from around 8 kilos upwards. A layout with a few compartments and outer pockets helps you find a torch, first aid or documents quickly. Add a rain cover or dry bag liner, and keep the pack in one fixed place near the door.

For a 72 hour kit for one person, 20 to 30 litres usually works well: water, food, light, first aid and a change of clothes all fit. If you are carrying supplies for a family or for longer, 40 to 60 litres is more realistic. Expect weight to set the limit before space does.
