This is the Judy Mover Max, it’s a one-bag survival kit designed to keep four people alive for a minimum of 72 hours during a catastrophe or natural disaster.
Survival experts tell us that the first 72 hours after a disaster are the most critical, after this time emergency personnel are typically onsite, evacuations have taken place, or the area has been stabilized.
The concept of a “bug out bag” is nothing new of course, what the team at Judy have done is collected some of America’s leading preparedness specialists like Kathryn Martorana, and created a bag you can buy that already contains everything you need.
The Mover Max was developed for singles, couples, and people with up to two kids. Each kit contains 24 essential items and they’re packed into a waterproof, puncture-resistant pack made from 500D tarpaulin with fully welded seams.
Judy also offers 24/7 SMS text alerts and emergency preparedness tips with each kit they sell, as well as downloadable plans and guides for emergency situations that you can keep on your phone in case you ever need them.
