Luxury survival kits for the AI age · Assembled to order in London
Before zero, you prepare. After zero, you last. When the power, the network or the banks go down, a London house stops within hours: no heating, no signal, no card payments. T-MINUS kits keep your family fed, warm, lit and in contact on its own, from seventy-two hours to a full year.
The Government launched Be Ready on 22 October 2026, asking every household to cope alone for three days. Only 13% of adults say their household is largely or fully prepared. Could yours? Prepare now.

One house on the street still has light, heat and a working phone. None of it is luck: a week of power, water, warmth and food for a family of four, in a case that lives under the stairs. That house has T+7.
The collection · Five kits
Each number is the days it keeps a family of four going without help, dogs included if you add them. Every kit includes the one before it.
Three days of food, water, light, warmth and first aid for a family of four, packed to leave in ten minutes.
Seven days at home for a family of four with power, heat and cooking, plus the Go Bags for leaving in a hurry.
A month for a family of four with 4 kWh of solar-charged power, gravity water filtration and satellite messaging.
Three months, installed: backup power wired into your home, stored water, Starlink and a defibrillator.
A full year for a family of four, designed around your property, installed, and serviced twice a year.
Prices are the full price, including any VAT and UK mainland delivery. Photography is illustrative: every kit is built to your household, and each manifest lists exactly what is inside.
Neighbour Packs
Every kit pays for Neighbour Packs: three days of emergency basics for a family who couldn't otherwise get them, handed out by food banks in London and Surrey. One with T+3, a hundred with T+365. £75 of the price pays for each.
