This Could Save Your Life This Summer

Heatwaves kill more Americans each year than hurricanes, floods, or tornadoes. If you don't have a Summer go-pack or your emergency gear can’t handle triple-digit temperatures, it’s time for a tune-up.

Why You Need a “HEAT-Ready Kit”

When extreme heat hits, dehydration comes fast, medicines spoil, and wildfire smoke can fill the sky. A lightweight pouch of heat-specific supplies keeps you safer whether you’re stuck on the freeway or sheltering without power. Drop this kit into your Go-bag (Emergency Kit) or carry it solo. Don’t have a Go-bag? We’ve got you covered with a large selection of curated bags. 

One List: Pack These Summer Add-Ons

Slip everything below into a gallon zip bag, small pouch, or one of our Dry Bags. Keep total weight under 20 pounds; heat drains energy quickly.

• Heat-stable water pouches – foil-lined, five-year shelf life, Coast Guard approved to about 210 °F (safer than plastic and slim enough for a purse or glove box). Sold by HBP.

• Electrolyte packets – replace lost salts quickly.

• Cooling towel or neck wrap – activates with water, lowers skin temperature in seconds.

• Instant cold packs – snap, shake, press on neck or armpits.

• Travel-size sunscreen (SPF 30+) and SPF lip balm.

• Insect-repellent wipes or mini spray.

• Wide-brim hat and fold-flat UV sunglasses.

• Compact battery-powered or solar fan.

• KN95 or N95 mask – filters wildfire smoke.

• Thermal pouch for medications.

• Reflective mylar blanket or mini tarp – creates instant shade and serves as an emergency signal.

• Compact First-Aid Kit – treats cuts, blisters, and heat rash. Sold by HBP.

  
  

Why Our Water Pouches Beat Plastic Bottles

A parked car can reach 130 °F in minutes. Under that heat, plastic bottles warp, burst, and leach chemicals like BPA into your water. HBP’s foil-lined pouches stay sealed, taste fresh, and remain safe up to roughly 210 °F. They are the same packs the Coast Guard stores on rescue boats, compact, durable, and perfect for purse, daypack, or center console.

Pets Overheat Too

Never leave animals in a parked car; interiors can reach oven temperatures in minutes. Keep them safe with a water bowl, extra water pouches, paw-protection balm, a small cooling towel, and spare medications with vet information. Want the easy route? Our ready-made Pet Go Bags include year-round essentials; just add the summer extras listed above.

STAY COOL. STAY SHARP. STAY READY. Don’t wait for the next heat alert. If you don’t have a Go Bag—or haven’t summer-ized the one you’ve got—start now. Our curated Go Bag and Pet Kit give you the foundation; the add-ons above make them heat-proof. Simple, time-effective, and easier on your wallet than hunting every item down yourself! Remember, Don't Be Afraid, Be Prepared!
