Estimate your daily need realistically

To survive, 1,000 kcal per person per day is enough. For our emergency-food packages we calculate with 1,300 kcal per day — actual consumption depends heavily on physical exertion. Heavy work can push the need to 3,000 kcal or more. Concretely: for a 2-person household over 30 days, expect roughly 78,000 kcal of freeze-dried food — the calculator above adjusts this figure to your household live.

Our emergency-food packages

We offer several packages — from Emergency Food Classic for one person and one month, through the Family-Offer Classic for four months, all the way to Emergency Food Extra for a full year. Special requirements such as gluten-free or lactose-free are covered too, and a vegan line is available. Supplement packages can be combined freely.

Complete solutions

If you prefer it compact, choose a complete solution — BASIS, GOURMET, LUXURY or MAXIMA — which bundle the food with matching technology. The calorie calculator in the online shop shows you live how much supply you currently have in your cart.

Drinking water as a minimum reserve

In an emergency, drinking water is the most critical resource — a person survives only three days without it. The FONES minimum recommendation is 9 litres per person as an immediately available reserve. For longer periods you cannot do without a water supply and a filter for treatment.

Filters in our range

• Micropur — chemical preservation, the classic for drinking-water reserves in a canister. Simple, long-lasting, ideal for prepared water.
• MSR Water Purifier — UV-based, battery-powered, fast and reliable in an acute situation. Ideal on the move and in your travel kit.
• Katadyn Water Filter — mechanical filters from the Pocket model to the drip solution for entire households. A robust storage solution with a long service life.

Which one is right depends on the water source and the number of people. In the advisor or by phone we’ll help you pick the right model.

An off-grid way to cook

At least one off-grid way to cook belongs in every emergency supply — a food reserve is of little use if you can’t prepare it. Emergency stoves come with very different fuels: gas, petrol, diesel, white gas, petroleum or wood. The choice depends on what you can store safely and how long you want to stay self-sufficient.

Lighting and fire

For lighting we recommend petroleum lamps — hours of burn time per fill, robust, off-grid. A wood stove and cast-iron fire pots let you cook without any power or gas supply.

Plan your fuel

Plan fuel for the entire period you want to cover — for a 30-day supply that means roughly 5–15 kg of fuel per person, depending on the stove. In the advisor we work this out for your specific situation.

What does the Federal Office for National Economic Supply (FONES) say?

FONES recommends a supply for at least 30 days per household — food, drinking water (at least 9 litres per person), hygiene items and energy. The recommendation applies regardless of where you live and your age.
