Reviews from Prepared Parents

  • Sara J. - Mother of two, Alberta

    "Really excited to take this kit camping with the kids and teach them some bushcrafting skills. Highly recommend."

  • Mike C. - Dad of three, Ontario

    "It feels good knowing we have a bag ready to grab and go. Floods are common where we live, and tornadoes have been getting more frequent. We're set if we ever need to evacuate quickly."

  • Erin R. - Parent & outdoor educator, B.C.

    "I bought a few for my outdoor classroom. The kids love learning real survival skills — and the handbook makes it easy for them to follow along on their own."

The Kid-Smart Survival Handbook

The only thing more important than the gear: instructions that teach your kid how to use it.

The Kid-Smart Survival Handbook is included with every kit. Written specifically for kids ages 7–17, it teaches calm, practical skills using simple language and real-life scenarios - so your child knows what to do, how to do it, and why.

  • Step-by-step instructions kids can follow on their own
  • Coverage of first aid, water purification, navigation, shelter, and emotional regulation
  • Plant identification and foraging across all four Canadian seasons
  • Real-world scenarios that build preparedness and confidence

Common Questions from Prepared Parents

Is this kit appropriate for younger kids?

Yes. The kit is designed for ages 7–17, and the handbook uses simple language and visuals so younger kids can follow along — with parent guidance for the more complex skills. The content scales as your child grows.

How does this kit build confidence?

Preparedness becomes empowering when kids have real skills they can practice. The handbook focuses on what to do, not what to fear - calm, task-focused steps that build competence. Kids learn to be prepared, not scared.

Why buy a kit, rather than build one?

You can absolutely build your own - but you'll likely spend more money, more time, and end up with lower-quality gear. And you won't have the Kid-Smart Survival Handbook, which turns every piece of the kit into a usable skill set for your child. The handbook walks kids through how to use every item, in language they understand.

Where can I use this kit?

The kit is designed in Canada for Canadian kids. The handbook includes plant identification and foraging guidance for all four Canadian seasons, and the kit ships free anywhere in Canada.

How can I use this kit?

Most families use the kit for camping, outdoor learning, and confidence-building long before they should ever need it for an emergency. It creates familiarity and skill during normal times, so there's peace of mind should circumstances change.

Can we take the kit camping?

Absolutely. Practicing with your kit ahead of time is part of being prepared. Camping trips are a great way to learn the gear together, build skills as a family, and turn preparedness into something kids look forward to.

Where do you ship from, and how long does it take?

We currently ship from Canada to Canada, the USA, South America, Europe, and Australia. Canadian shipping takes 2–6 business days. International shipping takes 6–18 business days.

What's the return policy?

If the kit doesn't help you and your child feel more prepared, more confident, and more ready for whatever comes, you can return it. No guilt. No pressure. 100% money-back guarantee.

30 Day Money
Back

Our Peace of Mind Guarantee

If this kit doesn't help you and your child feel more prepared, more confident, and more ready for whatever life brings, return it. No guilt. No pressure. 100% money-back guarantee.

Preparedness is a Life Skill

Every family wants their kids to be capable, confident, and calm in the face of the unexpected - whether that's a campout, a power outage, or anything in between.

This kit and handbook give your child something they'll carry with them long after the gear itself: the knowledge that they can handle whatever comes their way.
