Meet LIFE Bag Scout — our lightest, most streamlined emergency kit yet.

Scout delivers practical emergency capability without the weight and bulk of a traditional survival kit. Compact enough to carry every day, it brings together carefully selected tools for navigation, water filtration, light, signaling, shelter, basic medical needs, and unexpected problems in the field.

Inside, you’ll find a water filter, compass, headlamp, emergency thermal poncho, mini multi-tool, signal mirror, whistle, lighter, fishing supplies, medical essentials, and more—all organized in one highly portable pouch.

Scout was built for travel, hiking, road trips, day bags, vehicles, and everyday “just in case” preparedness. It’s also an easy, practical gift for someone who might never carry a full-size emergency kit.

Like every LIFE Bag Survival system, LIFE Bag Scout focuses on useful equipment and practical organization. Designed by an airline pilot and assembled in New York.

Light enough to go anywhere. Capable enough to matter.

LIFE Bag is our flagship compact emergency kit—built for people who want broader preparedness without the bulk of a traditional survival backpack.

At approximately 9 × 7 × 5 inches and 4.5 pounds, LIFE Bag provides practical support for water, shelter, weather protection, signaling, lighting, navigation, emergency food, and basic first aid. It is compact enough to keep in your luggage, vehicle, boat, backpack, office, or anywhere emergency gear should remain within reach.

Compared with the smaller LIFE Bag Scout, the original LIFE Bag offers more gear, broader category coverage, and additional support for longer or more demanding disruptions. It is designed for travel, road trips, flying, hiking, power outages, unexpected overnights, and everyday “just in case” situations.

Designed and field-tested by an airline pilot. Hand-packed and quality-checked in the USA.

The LIFE Bag Complete System combines our full-size LIFE Bag with the smaller, highly mobile LIFE Bag Scout, giving you two levels of emergency preparedness in one package.

The original LIFE Bag is designed to provide more substantial support from a centralized location—at home, in a vehicle, hotel room, campsite, workplace, or wherever you establish a temporary base. It carries the broader selection of emergency gear you want available when you have the ability to keep a larger kit nearby.

LIFE Bag Scout fills a different role. Smaller, lighter, and easier to maneuver with, Scout is designed to go with you when carrying the full LIFE Bag isn’t practical. Clip it to your gear, place it in a backpack, keep it close while traveling, or take it with you when you have to move away from your primary kit.

Together, the two systems provide approximately 100 individual emergency-preparedness components, including supplies supporting water, shelter, first aid, lighting, signaling, navigation, fire-starting, utility needs, and more.

One system stays ready. One system stays mobile.

The LIFE Bag Complete System gives you the broader capability of LIFE Bag and the portability of Scout—without having to choose between the two.

Includes:

• 1 Full-Size LIFE Bag Emergency Preparedness System

• 1 LIFE Bag Scout Compact Emergency Kit

• Approximately 100 combined individual components*

• Two complementary kits designed for stationary and mobile preparedness

*Component count includes individual first-aid and consumable supplies and may vary slightly by production configuration.
