National Preparedness Month

Welcome to Preparedness Month at 5.11®, where we’re dedicated to helping you stay ready for anything. Preparedness isn’t just about emergencies; it’s about being equipped for everyday challenges, big or small.

Expert Tip: Build a Go-Bag

Being prepared can make a big difference in how effectively you respond to unexpected situations.

Pack the basics: Enough food, water, and shelter, to cover your survival needs for at least 72 hours.

Opt for multi-use gear: Like a multitool and a headlamp, to save space and weight.

Include a compact first aid kit: With essential items like bandages, antiseptics, and personal medications.

Prepare for communication and navigation: By packing a portable charger, a whistle, a map, and a compass.

Choose lightweight, durable clothing: Such as moisture-wicking layers and a weather-resistant jacket for various conditions.

Expert Tip

Choose your bag based on usage scenarios, ensuring you have multiple bags for different circumstances (e.g., a small sling bag for daily use, a backpack for your vehicle, and a duffel for travel).
