Frequently asked questions
Is Mini enough for one person?
Mini covers water, light, first aid and hygiene for one person. You add a radio, cooking and food yourself – or choose Standard.
Why is there no radio in Mini?
Mini is designed to be affordable basic gear. If you don't have a battery-powered radio, we recommend Standard or Large, which include a DAB/FM emergency radio.
