Built to last

The bag is made from 1000D Cordura nylon 6.6 at 320 gsm, the same fabric grade used in field equipment built for daily abuse. It is PU-coated to a 1500 mm water column, so contents stay dry through rain and snow.

Hardware is UTX, the buckles and adjusters trusted on professional load-bearing gear. Nothing here is chosen to hit a price. Each part is chosen to survive the moment it is needed.

Sized for the household

One system covers a household of one to three people for seven days, the level of self-sufficiency the Swedish civil defence authority recommends. At four or more people, two systems carry the load.

The base bag holds three 9 L capsules inside and mounts two more on the sides, so the system grows with the household rather than forcing a second purchase later.

1 person5.2 kg
2 people5.5 kg
3 people5.8 kg
Size38 x 53 x 15 cm

Designed in Sweden

The system is built on advisory input from Oskar Bjork, defence engineer at the Swedish Armed Forces, so the contents reflect what is actually needed when infrastructure fails.

Every system is quality-assured in Boras before it ships.

Delivery and returns

Free delivery. Every order ships from Sweden.

30-day free returns. The return link is in the delivery confirmation.

Guarantee

We stand behind every system. If something arrives faulty or develops a fault, we put it right. Contact us and we replace the part or the system.

The system grows with the household

One cost, once. From four people a second system is added for full redundancy, which is why the total steps up there while the cost per person stays far below a single kit.

No subscription and nothing to renew. Pay in instalments with Klarna if you would rather spread it.

Not included
  • Food. Keep your own in the kitchen and rotate it.
  • Drinking water in volume. The filters make water safe, they do not store it.
  • Your own prescription medicine. The organiser is there, you fill it.

Designed to stay in view

So it's there when it matters.

When you would use it

Built for the days everyday life stops

Not wilderness survival. The ordinary disruptions that have already reached hundreds of thousands of Nordic homes.

  • 180 000householdsPower cuts Lost power in storm Johannes over New Year 2026. Heat, light and charging go with it.Storm Johannes, January 2026
  • 7daysThe official recommendation You are expected to manage on your own for a week. Kapsel is the answer to the question: with what?Swedish civil defence guidance
  • Water disruptions A burst main or a boil-water notice. Clean water is suddenly the thing that matters most.
  • Storms and severe weather Roads close and deliveries stop. Shelves empty in hours rather than days.

None of this is rare. It is just easier to handle with the right things already in the hallway.

Components without instructions are just stuff

Instructions & Plans, included with every system

Instructions & Plans

Components without instructions are just stuff

A system includes knowing how to use it, so the handbook is developed alongside the components and tested in the same scenarios. Printed, bilingual, and built to be read under stress.

  • Every component, step by step No tiny text and no confusing diagrams. Written so anyone in the household can find the right page and use the thing correctly, not just the person who ordered it.
  • Pages that are yours to fill in The plans section is where your household writes down what only you know. The numbers that matter, where you meet if you cannot get home, who calls whom first.
  • It works when nothing else does Printed and kept in the capsule. No power, no signal and no internet required, which is the entire situation it exists for.
  • Format Printed
  • Languages Swedish and English
  • Guides Visual, step by step
  • Film QR to video guides

Bought it, packed it, put it in the hallway

5.0 out of 5 from 15 verified buyers
  • Finally someone who thought it through

    So good to have everything in one place, packed and ready. Good looking enough that I can leave it standing in the hallway. Easy to pack, and I have topped it up with a few things of my own.

    Marie OfvergardVerified buyer

  • The best personal insurance you can have

    An excellent, well curated selection with everything you need. It is obvious that they have real expertise in what a situation like this actually requires.

Before you decide

The three things people ask us first

  • I already have some of this at home

    Then you already know the hard part is knowing what is missing. Kapsel is a documented system. Every component carries a register number and a reason for being there, so the gaps become visible instead of assumed. Plenty of people keep what they own and buy the system for the structure around it.

    Open the register
  • Will I actually know how to use it?

    A printed handbook walks you through every capsule, each component is labelled with its place, and short films show the ones that need showing. It works without power, signal or internet, which is the entire situation it exists for.

    Look inside the handbook
  • What if I change my mind?

    You have 30 days. Send it back and you get your money back, return shipping included. Preparedness you regret buying is not preparedness, so we would rather you had it at home for a month than wondered about it for a year.

Questions

Everything else people ask

Why seven days?

The Swedish Agency for Civil Defence recommends that every household can manage without help from society for at least a week. Not a weekend, not three days. That is the benchmark the system is built to.

Where is it made?

The bag and the capsules are made by an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer that also supplies Volvo and the Swedish Armed Forces. Assembly and quality inspection happen in Boras, Sweden.

How long does the contents last?

Most components last between two and five years. We remind you twice a year when it is time to check the consumables, so nothing quietly expires in the hallway.

Does it work in an apartment?

Yes, that is what it was designed for. It takes about the same space as a backpack and is built to be left in view rather than hidden in a loft.

What if I need to cover more people?

The system is modular. For one to three people a single Core handles it and the Personal and Shelter capsule scales per person. From four people a second Core is added for full redundancy.

What is your return policy?

Thirty days. Send it back and you get your money back, return shipping included. Write to hello@kapselsystem.com and we will sort it.

Can I buy for a company or a housing association?

Yes. Write to hello@kapselsystem.com for volume pricing and invoicing.
