Why you pack it yourself
We made a deliberate choice to deliver the Kapsel system unassembled.
You know where everything is
You pack it. You decide the order. You find the right capsule and the right product - even in the dark.
You understand how it works
Every component has instructions. Go through them now, calmly. Not for the first time under stress.
Before you start
Check that everything is here
Lay out all components and verify you have everything before packing.

The Metal Tags
Attach to the capsules to label the contents.

Step by step
How to pack
Energy & Light
Remove all products from their packaging first. Keep only what goes into the capsule.
1
Move the large divider to the centre. Keep one small divider on each side. Three small dividers are left over and can be stored at the top of the capsule.
2
Place the gas canister inside the stove. Remove the burner and put it in the fabric pouch with the stove.
3
The crank radio goes above of the gas stove, in its own divider. Power bank and headlamp beside it. All three should be loose, without packaging.
4
Charging cables for the power bank and crank radio go in the zip pocket in the capsule lid.
5
The zip should close without resistance. Everything flat and stable.
Add the sticker - Energy & Light on the Molle Tags in stainless steel.
Water & Health
Hydration, first aid, and hygiene
1
Move the two small dividers from the top to the bottom to create compartments for the first aid contents.
2
Open the first aid kit and unpack it. All items should lie loose in the bottom dividers, not in their original packaging. Use the dividers to organise the different products. Scissors, tweezers and safety pins can be stored in the zip pockets in the lid.
3
Lay the filter straw horizontally along the full width of the top of the capsule.
4
Place soap sheets and menstrual cup on top of the filter straw. Fill the gaps.
5
The zip should close without resistance. Nothing should be compressed.
Label with the Water & Health sticker on the metal tags.
Personal & Shelter
Protection, warmth, and personal needs
1
Move two small dividers if you want to store the filter bottle inside the capsule. Otherwise keep the dividers as they are.
2
Place the emergency sleeping bag and pill organiser at the bottom. Fill the pill organiser with any personal medications before packing it.
3
The microfibre towel is already rolled in its sleeve. Place it beside the pill organiser. Multi cutlery goes along the side. The filter bottle can be stored inside the capsule or hung on the outside of the bag for quicker access.
4
Place the face mask on top of the capsule so it is quickly accessible.
Keep it in its original package.
5
The rest of the space is for things only you need. Base layers, extra socks and anything that might be needed quickly. Pack for the season and the need.
6
The zip should close without resistance. The filter bottle should sit securely on the side without being compressed.
Label with the Personal & Shelter sticker on the Molle Tags in stainless steel.
