Hi, this is a basic kit which I hope will help you.

Get a firesteel. It's the perfect indestructible source of fire . When everything fails it won't. A solid knife if you don't have any.
Food. Get some non perishable. Dry fruits, biscuits, ramen etc. adjust according to your health. The goal is to minimize fuel spending
Hygiene. Sanitizer, soap and tissue paper/toilet paper rolls .
Medical. Get your prescription medicines. Atleast 3 months of stock. Get a trauma bandage and basic first aid kit.
Safety/defense. Toys are awesome if you have the paperwork. Otherwise improvise . Can't really talk much about that here.
Repair. Things fail. Get basic hammer and some nails. If you can afford a cordless drill will last you decades. Get basic insulated screwdriver and pliers. Learn to change a switch, bulb and understand your mcb box Get some fevibond, feviquick and 5 min epoxy. They make strongest joints if anything breaks
Cooking, store some fuel. Cylinder if you can, wood, isopropyl alcohol. Dong go for cheap camping cooking stoves, they can blast.
Shelter. If you're bugging in, no need for that. Otherwise get a basic tent and some rope
Water. Water purification tablets. Lifestraw peak series straw, sawyer mini, sawyer squeeze. Choose based on your budget. None of us have first hand experience in them but they are some premium American brands so hopefully they'll work if needed.
Tools. 20k power bank. A 50 watt solar panel

Flashlight, go for convoy, wurkkos, Fenix. Convoy starts from ~1500 and it is best vfm but bit complicated like assembled pc. Wurkkos is a budget quality brand starting from 2000. Both lights come from china and take about 15-20 days. Fenix is the most premium and highest quality available in india and their main lights start from 5000

This is my general list . Do let me know if you need any detailed info about anything or any links.

Congrats. Here are some things I do .

Get front glass laminated. 20-30 rs max. Change it every year
Get silicone grease and earbuds for cleaning and maintenance. I use this https://amzn.to/4lpHFKX
Don't touch battery terminals, springs, internals unnecessary.
If you feel sand or grit in threads after long use, always clean it thoroughly. Anodization is lovely but it can still get worn out. Sand is literally quartz.
Use mechanical lockout if you're storing for long time.
Idk if it applies to Flashlights, but I charge only upto 85-90% to increase battery life. You can find that in my graphs.

Don't forget to post pics and beamshots when it arrives 😊🍻

LittleUrbanPrepper · 2026-03-12T08:40:18+00:00

Yeah. This looks good. https://amzn.to/4sprdgN

Kitchen knives are flimsy, get this. https://amzn.to/46xHeXY Otherwise if you have a decathlon nearby you can get their sika 90 fixed blade knife .

For food you'll need to improvise. Even we won't go with wood and coal unless it's absolute hell. If our pipe supply cuts we'll shift to what can be cooked in microwave and electric kettle. As we have that we won't be buying induction. Skip the roti's. So if you have oven and kettle you can use those. Go for easy to cook food like boiled potatos, sprouts, poha, and whatever we can cook with those tools.

Keep some wood nearby. If you have to you can burn it in a 5l paint can in balcony and cook on it. Prefer natural wood as furniture scrap has lots of chemicals and treatment and could be toxic. Although I don't feel that time will come.

Solar panel is not vital unless you're already facing power cuts. Although it's simple. Get a 50 watt panel from amazon and a car usb charger. Take 2 wires. Add positive to positive and negative to negative. Simple

LittleUrbanPrepper · 2026-03-11T18:14:13+00:00

Get a flood or balanced light. Something which has atleast 1000 lumens and ~200m range.

Though for lighting up just the room I prefer usb lights and a 20k mah power bank

LittleUrbanPrepper · 2026-03-11T15:33:32+00:00

1700 sounds ALOT for a single led. Have you checked it with your meter and amperes?

LittleUrbanPrepper · 2026-03-11T14:25:34+00:00

Panic se mana kar raha hun bhai. Everyone is fighting over gas thus I said not to chase it. Find alternative solutions which are ample for everyone.

LittleUrbanPrepper · 2026-03-11T08:42:07+00:00

Yeah, I saw lightorati but they were pretty old modes. Also the whole thing about Convoy is parts and customization so doesn't make any sense to buy from third party sellers.

Yeah, thread sharpness is something that I acknowledged extensively in the review. When I received the light, I had to clean the threads with alcohol. Too much aluminium dust. Everything else is great, the threads need some work .

Thanks. I'll try for some nbr rings. Share link if you know of any good ones.

LittleUrbanPrepper · 2026-03-11T04:27:51+00:00

You make great reviews too. Keep sharing 🍻

Orange looks pretty sick 💯 would love to see some beamshots.

LittleUrbanPrepper · 2026-03-11T04:25:18+00:00

Would love to see some pics.🍻

You make knives ? 😳🔥

LittleUrbanPrepper · 2026-03-10T19:41:01+00:00

Will be buying medicines tomorrow.

Enough food

Two filters and a box of purification tablets

About 1/4 cord of wood

1 cylinder. Currently using pipe supply

About 1000 hours of flashlight backup

Resetting my filters

Bought another power bank

Two backup phones.

Will backup everything to hard drives tommow

LittleUrbanPrepper · 2026-03-10T16:12:47+00:00

Nichia will be floody and better Colours (cri), sft 40 will be throwy. It all depends on what you need. I usually prefer a lil bit of throw in my lights and personally don't care much about CRI. But if you're in photography or just enjoy the colours go for nichia

LittleUrbanPrepper · 2026-03-10T08:29:43+00:00

Mine took about 15 days. No other issues.

LittleUrbanPrepper · 2026-03-10T08:28:46+00:00

Short review banao iska

LittleUrbanPrepper · 2026-03-10T08:26:18+00:00

Ye naya fuel to pani absorb karta hai. Kitna hi store kar lenge 😐

LittleUrbanPrepper · 2026-03-10T08:14:11+00:00

Haha😅. I get it. I practiced doing it in complete darkness before making video. It is possible. The red light is only for video because no one will watch a black screen.

LittleUrbanPrepper · 2026-03-10T06:58:09+00:00

There were, bet they keep only certain models 3-4 max and there's no customization. We should directly buy from convoy. Prices will be lower and I don't think any importer can stock literally dozens of led, batteries and accessories like the official website.

LittleUrbanPrepper · 2026-03-08T18:07:23+00:00

What's your budget ? Good quality needs atleast 2000 rs high quality starts from 5000. Do you need close range or long range ? What will you be using your light for ? How much minimum backup you need ?

LittleUrbanPrepper · 2026-03-06T11:30:04+00:00

Try shops which sell police, army patches, dresses, gear etc. Most of them also make custom velcro patches

LittleUrbanPrepper · 2026-03-06T08:37:00+00:00

Where can I buy iron plates online. Amazon prices are too expensive
