Quakehold! Ready America The Survival Box, 1-Person, 3-Day Emergency Kit

quakehold! ready america the survival box — what the listing actually specifies

Quakehold! Ready America Survival Box — Budget 1-Person Kit

First aid is response, not prevention. A kit does not control a hazard; it treats the outcome after one has already happened. Under 29 CFR 1910.151(b), where no infirmary, clinic or hospital is in near proximity, someone on site must be adequately trained to render first aid and supplies must be readily available. Stock the kit to the hazards actually present, check expiry dates, and restock it after every use.

The Quakehold! Ready America Survival Box is the kit to order as a cheap, compact food-and-water supplement for a glovebox, desk drawer, or kid's backpack — not as your household's only emergency plan. This page covers exactly what ships in the box, how it compares to its Ready America siblings, and what to add before you rely on it for anything more than a stopgap.

The Quakehold! Ready America Survival Box is a manufacturer-rated 72-hour food, water, and blanket supply for one person, packed in a compact plastic box with no first aid kit or backpack.

Key features

• US Coast Guard approved food and water, per the manufacturer's listing, both rated for a 5-year shelf life
• Survival blanket that retains roughly 90% of body heat and doubles as a rain poncho or shelter
• Compact plastic box — 6.25 x 3.75 x 10.75 inches, about 1.46 kg
• Lowest price of any kit in the 72 hour kits collection
• Bilingual packaging (English/Spanish)
• Entry point below the Ready America 70280 — a supplement, not a replacement

Specifications

Use cases

• Glovebox, desk drawer, or kid's-backpack stopgap supply
• Households layering multiple small kits across cars, offices, and bags
• Buyers who want a low-cost way to try the Ready America family before buying a full kit
• Buyers building the disaster-prep tier of a home kit plan alongside the first aid kits parent collection

What to add to the Survival Box

The Survival Box has no first aid kit at all, so add one separately if this box is your only supply in a given location — the Ready America 70280's bundled kit is a reasonable model for what to add. A North American Rescue Flat ETD 6-Inch Emergency Trauma Dressing is compact enough to store next to the box in a glovebox. A RunningSnail Emergency Hand Crank Radio with LED Flashlight covers the light and communication gap this box does not address. What does not pair with this box: it is not a workplace compliance kit, so offices need the workplace first aid kits collection per our OSHA first aid kit requirements explained reference.

Where the Survival Box sits in the Ready America ladder

Ready America scales its 72-hour kits by person count and feature tier; the Survival Box is the entry point below the standard backpack kits, trading a backpack and first aid kit for the lowest possible price.

• Choose the Survival Box as a cheap supplement — never your household's only kit.
• Choose the 70280 for a real kit with a first aid kit and backpack at an affordable price.
• Choose the Deluxe 1-Person if you want tools and a headlamp on top of the basics.
• Choose the Deluxe 4-Person for a complete family kit.

Quakehold! Ready America Survival Box — Buying FAQ

Is the Survival Box widely available from major suppliers?

It sits alongside the rest of the 72 hour kits collection. Check the current Amazon listing above.

Should I order the Survival Box or the 70280?

Consider the Survival Box only as a cheap supplement. Consider the 70280 if you need a real primary kit with a first aid kit and backpack.

What should I add to my cart alongside the Survival Box?

A compact first aid item from the bandages and wound care collection, plus a North American Rescue Flat ETD 6-Inch Emergency Trauma Dressing for real bleeding control.

Can I order the Survival Box and the 70280 together?

Yes — both are stocked and can ship in the same order. Many buyers order the Survival Box for a glovebox stash and the 70280 as their primary home kit.

Does the Survival Box ship fast enough before a forecast storm?

Check current shipping windows when ordering as soon as a storm or wildfire warning is issued. Given its minimal contents, plan to also order a fuller kit if time allows.

Can I return the Survival Box if I decide I need a full kit instead?

Check the seller's return policy before you buy. Unopened boxes are typically the most straightforward to return.

Does WC Safety sell the Survival Box in bulk for schools or offices?

For multi-unit orders, use the bulk options on the Amazon listing. Schools and offices distributing individual boxes to many people should reach out before placing repeated single-unit orders.

Should I buy the Survival Box if I already have a full 72-hour kit at home?

Yes — it is a good secondary supply for a car, office desk, or bag that does not already carry emergency supplies, on top of your primary kit.

How do I confirm the Amazon listing linked here is the genuine product?

The Amazon button above links directly to the ASIN for this exact product. Confirm the seller is Ready America, Quakehold!, or a verified Amazon retailer before completing ordering.
