Home check · 7 days
Could your home manage seven days on its own?
Eight questions about your home and one about how many you are. It takes about a minute, and you see the result straight away without giving an email address.
The Swedish system for home preparedness
One bag, three capsules and everything a household needs for seven days without power, water or heat.

The reality
The agency says a week. How long would your home manage?
When the power goes, card payments stop working, the water can stop running and the heating goes. Often within a few hours.
- Within hoursCard payments, mobile network and heating.
- Day oneThe tap may run dry. The phone cannot be charged.
- Day two to threeFood in the fridge goes off. Information is hard to get. Dark by the afternoon.
- Day sevenThe level Sweden's civil defence agency says every household should manage on its own.
What you need cannot be bought on the day you need it. That is why it has to be ready before.
The system
Having the things is not enough. You need to find them in the dark.
Kapsel gathers what a household needs in one bag with three capsules. Each capsule has one job, and every part has a set place.
- Three capsules. Three jobs.Need light? Take the Energy & light capsule. The headlamp, radio and power bank are in there.
- Everything is labelled. Everything has its place.Everyone in the household finds the right thing straight away, even in the dark and even if someone else packed the bag.
- Built to stay in view.In the hall, on a bookshelf, somewhere you see it. Preparedness that gets hidden away gets forgotten.
- Reviewed by a named defence engineer.Oskar Björk, adviser and co-founder of Kapsel, defence engineer at the Swedish Armed Forces (Försvarsmakten), chose and reviewed every component.

Choosing
Build it yourself? Weeks of work, and guessing.
You can build it yourself, and that is far better than doing nothing.
But it takes time, and there are a lot of decisions. Which water filter is enough? How many litres do you need? Which radio works without power? What expires, and when? It is easy to get stuck halfway.
With Kapsel that work is already done. A defence engineer chose the components, the quantities follow the size of your household, and the system is quality-assured in Borås before it ships.

It happens. Again and again.
Storm Dave left 30,000 households without power over Easter weekend.
Stockholm blackout. 16,590 households without electricity in the middle of winter.
Security alarms failed nationwide. 100,000 people without emergency alarms.
Sweden's Civil Contingencies Agency recommends that households can manage on their own for at least a week.
A complete system, not loose parts
From four people the system ships as two bags and six capsules, which is why the price steps up here.
What is Kapsel?
A complete seven-day preparedness system designed for modern households. One bag, three organised capsules, over 30 selected components and full documentation.
Why seven days?
MCF, formerly MSB, recommends that every household can manage without outside help for at least a week. That is the standard the system is built to. Not a weekend. Not three days.
Do you offer a guarantee?
If the system does not meet your expectations, contact us within 30 days for a full refund.
What makes this different from other emergency kits?
Most kits are a box of stuff. Kapsel is a system: a purpose-built bag, modular capsules, a laminated quick-guide and components chosen one by one. Built with a defence adviser, not a marketing department.
Real preparedness is not about whether something happens. It is about how well you can act when it does.
