About LIFE Bag Survival
Survival gear. Outdoor essentials. Everyday preparedness.
LIFE Bag Survival brings together practical survival and outdoor gear with our own hand-packed emergency kits. From water filtration and emergency food to knives, fire starters, shelter, and lighting, our shop offers essentials for home, travel, vehicles, and time outdoors.
Choose a ready-packed LIFE Bag, build your own setup, or pick up the few items you’re missing. You don’t have to prepare the same way as everyone else.
Our story
I’m Travis, founder of LIFE Bag Survival and a full-time airline pilot.
After nearly two decades of travel—and experiencing two earthquakes while away from home—I wanted a better way to keep useful emergency supplies close at hand.
That led to the original LIFE Bag: a compact, organized kit built around essentials for water, shelter, signaling, first aid, and emergency food. It began with the needs of flight crews, but its purpose reached beyond aviation: helping people keep practical supplies within reach when plans change.
More than a bag
Today, that same idea guides a growing selection of individual gear and supplies. Alongside our LIFE Bag kits, we carry equipment from brands including Aquamira, BPS Knives, Kershaw, and Ready Hour.
Whether you’re choosing a knife for camp, adding water filtration to your pack, or stocking supplies for an unexpected interruption at home, we want to be a useful place to start—and return to as your needs change.
Preparedness that makes sense
We believe preparedness should be practical, approachable, and built around your life—not fear or an overwhelming checklist.
Our focus is on useful equipment, clear product information, and options for different needs and budgets. Our kits give you an organized starting point. Our individual gear gives you the freedom to make it your own.
Don’t take off without it.
