Choose an emergency kit by household size, the equipment you already own and the cost of completing your supplies. Compare the contents of the exact configuration, how you will store and use it, and what you must buy separately. A bag of equipment does not replace stored drinking water, food or personal prescription medicines.
Start with what you already have
List your equipment for cooking, light, power, information, warmth and first aid. Buying individual items can make sense if you already have much of what you need. A prepared system is an option if you want to gather and organise the equipment in one place.
Compare the same household size
Check which items are shared and which are supplied per person. A bag that holds equipment for several people is not the same as every configuration containing equipment for that many people. Use the selected size's contents list, not the number of pieces alone.
Plan storage and use in an apartment
Choose an accessible storage place and keep an inventory with the equipment. Plan separate space for food and drinking water. Read and follow each manufacturer's instructions, including where cooking equipment can be used and the limitations of water filters. Practise finding and using the equipment before you need it.
Where Kapsel Core fits
Kapsel Core is a preparedness system for the home with shared equipment and personal equipment for the selected household size. It comes in configurations for one to six people. Sizes for one to three people use one system bag; sizes for four to six use two. Core brings together equipment for cooking, water filtration, warmth, light, communication and first aid.
Example: two people in an apartment
Core for two people contains one system bag and four capsules: two shared capsules and one personal capsule per person. Choose a place you both know and go through the contents together. Food and stored drinking water need their own storage space.
Pack it yourself to get to know the system
Core is deliberately supplied unpacked. As you pack, you go through the equipment, see where each item belongs and add your personal items. The packing guide shows how to organise the system for your selected number of people.
Compare the total cost
Core for two people costs SEK 5,699 in the Swedish market; the one-person configuration starts at SEK 4,999. Add the cost of your own food, stored drinking water and prescription medicines, which are not included. If you already own suitable equipment, compare the cost of filling the gaps with buying a complete configuration.

Questions and answers
Does one Core bag mean equipment for three people?
No. Choose the configuration for the number of people in your household. Configurations for one to three people use one system bag, but their contents differ.
Does water filtration replace stored drinking water?
No. Store drinking water separately. Use filtration equipment only in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and limitations.
Should everyone buy a prepared system?
No. Compare your existing equipment, available storage and total budget. Buying missing items separately can be the better choice if you already have a suitable base.
