Saddlebag Supplies
General Store
★ Prepared. Practical. Colorado-built. ★
Tell us your rank, your crew, and your budget, and we'll write up your shopping list for outages, storms, and wildfire season. No overwhelm.
We stock the list. The retailer stocks the goods.
How the store works
From Greenhorn to Homestead. Your rank decides which shelves your list comes from.
At the Counter, set your household size, give people roles, and pick Shoestring, Trail-Tested, or Top Shelf.
A clean list with a checkbox, quantity, your pick, an estimated price, and a shop link for every item. Print it, tick it off, and buy from the retailer, not from us.
Saddlebag Supplies doesn't sell or ship any of the gear on these shelves. Every shop button opens a search at an outside retailer, and you buy from them. Some links are affiliate links. Read the disclosures.
Shop by rank
Prepping is a long ride, and nobody starts as a Trail Boss. Find the rank that fits where you are on the trail today, shop that rank's shelves, finish its milestones, then move up.
Rank 1 · 72 hours
Just saddling up
Starting from zero, or close to it. Ride out three days without running water, electricity, or a working store.
Rank 2 · 2 weeks
Building the home herd
Your 72-hour kit is packed. Now stretch it to two weeks at home: more water, a real pantry, and a backup way to cook.
Rank 3 · 1 to 3 months
Riding farther out
Longer-term food storage, backup power for the essentials, comms beyond the cell network, and a tested bug-out plan.
Rank 4 · Several months
Leading the outfit
Several months of advanced readiness, and leading your family or group through it: real comms, a security plan, and bigger water and power.
Rank 5 · Indefinite
Living off the land
Indefinite self-sufficiency: growing and preserving your own food, your own water and off-grid power, and the land and skills to keep it all going.
Five quick questions. Your answers stay in your browser: nothing is saved or sent anywhere.
About the store
Run out of Colorado by Saddlebag Supplies. We make simple, printable buy lists for regular households: what to buy, how many, roughly what it costs, and why it earns a spot in the bag.
No fear-selling and no $900 gadgets. Start with the basics a beginner needs to ride out three days without running water, electricity, or a working store, then move up the trail at your own pace.
Covers water, food, warmth, light, first aid, tools, comms, hygiene, and documents.
Everyday stores, real prices, and three quality levels so you can start where you are.
Planned around altitude, dry air, cold mountain nights, and wildfire smoke.
Store-bought guides · the printed shopping list
Want it already printed and laid out? The store-bought version of your shopping list is a guide, not gear: a printable PDF plus a spreadsheet tracker for a one-person emergency kit in three sizes:
Every kit is for one person. Packing for more people? Build one per person, then add role add-ons.
Itemized buy lists, printable checklists, and a rotation schedule so nothing expires on the shelf. Prices on the live shelf are kept current; the PDF is a snapshot.
Pick your role
Each person starts with the same one-person base kit for their rank. Then give some of them a role. Role gear stacks on top of the base kit, so a household of four might be one Ramrod, one Cookie, and two riders with no role at all.
The shelves
Prices and products change. The PDF stays the same, and the live shelves are where updated picks and shopping links are kept. We stock the list. The retailer stocks the goods.
Every item in the Starter, Trail-Ready, and Fully Loaded kits, with quantities, prices at three quality levels, and where to shop.
