A Bug Out Kit Essential
Every community in the U.S. and across the globe is vulnerable to disasters. Whether human-made or natural, they have devastating effects on a population and its built environment. Food and water are the most common and essential supplies you will find on any basic disaster supply list. You can survive without flashlights and air conditioning—but hydration and nutrition are life-giving.
Designed as a portable and flameless cookware system for outdoorsy folk, the NEVERFLAME is a multifunctional tool that can benefit emergency response teams and people and families who want to prepare for the worst.
Safe Water, Save Lives
During emergencies, community water services are often interrupted. Government agencies suggest keeping a minimum 3-day supply of water—a gallon per person, per day. However, the emergency water supplies we are sensible enough to stockpile can be compromised, either through expiration or contamination. The NEVERFLAME is your backup plan; equipped with a kettle and a battery unit that is powerful enough to boil water, for:
- Drinking
- Wound care
- Personal hygiene
- Brushing teeth
- Washing dishes
Emergency Food Supply
Food is second only to water as an essential resource during a disaster. The standard minimum 3-day supply applies to food as well. Typically, food supplies will consist of products that require no refrigeration, water, or cooking, such as:
- Canned condensed meat, soups & fruits
- Ready-to-eat cereals
- Peanut butter
- Dried fruits & granola
- Crackers
However, cooking raw food or heating canned food could potentially improve conditions during an emergency. According to FEMA, food has the power to "lift morale and give a feeling of security in times of stress" (FEMA, 2004). In addition to the kettle, our cookware is outfitted with a pan, enabling the user to cook raw chicken, fish, pork, beef, and raw fruits and vegetables.
A Battery That Packs a Punch
The pièce de résistance of our portable cookware system is the battery. Small-scale and lightweight—a perfect combination for any emergency response tool. What's more, the solar-rechargeable battery can charge cell phones, tablets, emergency lights, and GPS navigational systems.
In times of crisis, a bug-out bag with the right equipment is a bug-out bag that gets the job done. From disaster response teams to average citizens on their guard, NEVERFLAME can serve you in more ways than one!
