Drinking water
Each grab bag contains 1 liter of drinking water per person. This is essential for staying hydrated, especially when you're unable to obtain water for an extended period. Drinking water is one of the most important survival necessities, and the amount in the grab bag is sufficient to provide one person with water for a short period until you're back in a situation where you have access to fresh water sources.
Food
The grab bag contains 500 grams of food per person, which is sufficient for the indicated time. This food is selected to provide long-lasting energy in an emergency, allowing you to stay alert and maintain your physical strength until you reach safety. The food in the grab bag is also designed to be compact, nutritious, and easy to consume without the need for additional cooking utensils.
Other survival items
Besides water and food, the grab bag also contains a first aid kit and two insulated blankets. The first aid kit allows you to respond to minor injuries, while the insulated blankets are crucial for maintaining body heat in colder weather.
