Frequently Asked Questions
For peak performance, we recommend "topping off" your batteries every 3-6 months. You can charge them via a standard wall outlet before storing them or use the included 40W Solar Panel to recharge your generator while off-grid.
The 72-Hour Food Kit and Food Bars have a shelf life of up to 25 years. To maximize longevity, store your entire bundle in a cool, dry place – like a closet or under a bed – away from direct sunlight.
Your Survival Food kit is designed to provide energy and nutrients for one person in a stressful emergency situation. It’s not intended to be a complete caloric replacement during “normal” times. In an extended emergency you’ll want to supplement your daily calorie intake.
The Liberty Band Radio is built for emergencies with multiple power sources: it can be powered by its internal rechargeable battery (via USB), the built-in solar panel, or the manual hand crank for a truly "dead-battery" scenario.
The Patriot Pure Personal Water Filter uses a .01 micron ultrafiltration membrane to reduce up to 99.9% of pathogenic bacteria.
Please note: This filter is designed for natural freshwater sources and does not filter viruses, heavy metals, or chemical contaminants. Results will vary based on the specific contaminant, water quality & source, and usage conditions.
Yes, you can charge your Sidekick generator while it’s powering your devices.
Think of watt-hours as “how much work” your power source can do over time.
- Find the watts. Look on the label or add up the volts and amps (Volts × Amps = Watts).
- Pick the time. How long will you run it? Write that in hours.
- Multiply. Watts × Hours = Watt-hours.
Example:
A 50-watt radio playing for 4 hours: 50 W × 4 hr = 200 Wh.
That’s it. No fancy math. Just volts, amps, or watts, then a quick times-table.
To store your solar generator the right way:
- Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme heat
- Charge it to about 60-80% before long-term storage — not full, not empty
- Recharge it every 3-6 months to keep the battery healthy
- Cover or case it up to protect from dust and bumps

- Your survival food is designed to last 25 years on the shelf. Storage conditions impact the shelf life of your food. For best results, always protect your food from heat, air and moisture.

- These kits are designed to provide energy and nutrients for one person in stressful emergency situations. They are not intended to be complete caloric replacements during “normal” times. You’ll want to make sure you have additional food items on hand so that in an extended emergency you’ll be able to supplement your daily calorie intake, nutrients and variety with additional food items available on this site, food you have stockpiled in your pantry, fresh produce from your garden, etc. An average adult needs approx. 2,000 calories per day to meet their energy needs. This kit provides approximately 1,600 calories per day for one person. This may not be enough for optimal nutrition, especially for an extended period of time, or if you’re pregnant, a child, elderly, or have other health conditions. In order to supplement your daily calorie intake, to add variety or to provide food for more than one person, we offer a number of supplemental products, including food bars, meat packs, fruit and vegetable packs, etc. By combining our kits with these additional products, you can ensure that you have 2,000 calories per day available to you during emergency situations. We’d be happy to discuss your particular preparedness goals, and to help you select more or less survival food to meet your unique needs.
