It's been a while since we received a request to purchase an emergency kit. Saskia then immediately set to work to see if that could also be done in a sustainable way. Yes, it can. You can read the results of our sustainable emergency kit here.<\/a> And for a number of items, you can do very well at charity shops. It saves quite a bit, because putting together an emergency kit isn't a cheap business.<\/strong> Here comes the greenlist- shopping list for emergency kit items from charity shops!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Surprising: emergency radio from the charity shop!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, I\u2019m almost due for my six-monthly check: is everything still working in our emergency kit and are the non-perishable items still good? But from a small survey among our followers, it appears that quite a lot of people don't have an emergency kit at all yet. So for everyone who still needs to get started, or needs to top up their kit: definitely check out the charity shop! You can score a surprising amount of items for next to nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second-hand stuff for your emergency kit!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Okay, I have to admit, I was a bit critical at first. Making an emergency kit is quite a job. You're quickly tempted to order everything online, so you can just tick it off. So going to the charity shop with your missing items list \u2013 when you're not even sure if they have it \u2013 felt a bit like a hurdle. I had to psych myself up for that. But I was (as is usually the case) pleasantly surprised. You can also find emergency kit items here surprisingly well. The charity shop really has everything. I found these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
