One adult for 72 hours. Thirty-seven items in four pouches and a lid, in a waterproof 35-litre bag with twenty litres left for your own things.
Coming soon
The first production run of the Operator is under way. Leave your email and you'll hear the day it's ready to order — one message, nothing else.
Assembled to order in the UK and dispatched within three working days. 30-day returns if unopened.
Every bag is vegan and made without nut ingredients. The rations are gluten-free with a 15-year date.
Pairs with the Cub and the Scout: both clip onto the Operator's front so one person can carry two bags.

Contents, rotation and first-hour cards
What you add: your medication, copies of your ID, some cash in small notes, and a change of clothes. The document pouch and medication pouch are labelled and waiting.
The bag
Expedition build. Everyday face.
No visible MOLLE, no camouflage, no bright branding. The same materials as a mountaineering pack, in a bag you can carry through a station without anyone looking twice.
Rotation dates
Buy it once. We'll tell you when.
We remember when you bought it. When something is due, our newsletter emails you exactly what to swap and nothing else.
Questions
Straight answers.
Is the multi-tool legal to carry in the UK?
Yes. The blade is non-locking and under 7.62 cm, which is the legal limit for carrying without a specific reason. No locking knives, ever.
Why is there no lighter or matches?
They can't be posted. The ferro rod lights a stove or tinder for years and travels anywhere.
Is three days of water really in there?
No, and nobody's is. Three days of water weighs nine kilos. The bag carries the first day and the tablets and bottle to treat fifty litres more. Store water at home; carry the means to make it safe.
Can I carry it on a plane?
The bag fits cabin size. The multi-tool and ferro rod would have to go in the hold; the power bank must stay in the cabin. We include a card that lists it.
What if I already have some of this?
Twenty litres are left empty for a reason. Add what you have; the pouches are labelled so you'll still find everything in the dark.
