Buying guide: what to look for in an emergency kit
Count the mouths. Buy for the number of people in your house — a one-person bag won’t stretch to cover the kids. When in doubt, size up.
Water and food first. Every kit above covers 72 hours of food and water per person. Check the shelf life and mark your calendar to rotate supplies every few years.
A radio matters. When the power and cell towers are down, a hand-crank NOAA weather radio is how you hear the all-clear. The Stealth Angel and EVERLIT kits include one.
Add your personal stuff. No kit has your prescriptions, baby formula, or pet food. Toss those in the bag the day you buy it so it’s truly ready.
The bottom line
The Ready America bag at $36 is the no-brainer starter — every Mississippi household ought to have one per person. For a full family, the Stealth Angel 4-person kit covers everybody in one purchase, and the Sustain Supply premium bag is worth it if you want real food instead of ration bars. Don’t wait for the next watch box to think about this.
