FAQ

What should I buy first?

Start with stored drinking water and food, then light, a radio, a way to charge your phone and a first aid kit. The 72-Hour Kit covers the gear side. For medical devices, follow the maker’s backup advice.

Is a power station safe to use indoors?

Yes. Unlike fuel generators, battery power stations make no fumes and almost no noise, so they’re safe inside your home.

Can the Mini 100 run my fridge?

No. It is designed for small loads such as phones, LED lights and a router. Fridges need much more energy and a higher startup surge. Larger brand stations are coming soon.

How fast is delivery?

Delivery times are being confirmed with our EU suppliers and will be shown on every product before launch.

Can I return it?

Yes, 30-day returns on unused items (final policy to be confirmed before launch).

Do you ship gas for the camp burner?

No. Gas cartridges and canisters are hazardous goods (UN2037) and cannot be shipped, so we do not sell them. The mini burner is sold without gas. Buy compatible screw-thread cartridges locally, and use it outdoors only.

What’s in the 72-Hour Blackout Kit?

A practical set of light, radio, water-treatment and emergency-warmth essentials: solar and crank radio, solar lantern power bank, flashlight and headlamp, filter straw, mylar bivy, thermal blanket, medicine-free first aid kit, arc lighter, candle tin, paracord, and The Blackout Playbook (in preparation). It does not include drinking water, food, personal medicines or a guaranteed 72-hour energy supply. Add your own stored water, food and medicines, and adapt quantities for your household.

What’s the difference between Blackout Basecamp and Basecamp Lite?

Blackout Basecamp (€599) is the full off-grid camp: air-beam tent, lounger, wood stove, fire pit, table, chair, water container and peg kit. Bought separately those items come to €658.30. Basecamp Lite (€269) is the same set without the tent (items separately €309.30). Gas is never included.

How much water should we store?

Plan about 3 litres per person per day for drinking and basic cooking, and store it before an emergency. A filter straw is a backup for suitable freshwater only; it does not remove viruses or chemicals, and filter life is still to be confirmed.
