How often should the kit be checked?
Twice a year, at the change to and from summer time 1. Our guides on food shelf life, water storage containers, emergency lighting and first-aid kits help with each part. For a grab-and-go bag rather than a home stock, see the 72-hour kit.
What about a ready-made kit?
If you consider a ready-made kit, compare its contents line by line with the tables above. No kit replaces your own medication, special diet food or personal needs, and the official Slovenian recommendations remain those of URSZR. You can equally assemble the whole supply yourself from the list as published.
