Essential Vegan Survival Kits for Home and Off-Grid Living

Being prepared doesn’t have to be cruel to animals—or complicated. Whether the electricity goes out, a storm hits, or you’re planning for a full-blown zombie apocalypse, having a stash of vegan emergency food can keep you fueled without harming animals who are every bit as deserving of consideration as the dogs and cats we share our homes—and bunkers—with.

These kits, bags, and buckets are designed to provide complete nutrition for days—or even weeks—so you can face any situation with confidence. Many options come with long shelf lives, resealable packaging, and simple preparation instructions, making it easy to store, grab, and go when the unexpected happens (and remember—going vegan helps protect the environment, reducing greenhouse gases and resource demands that contribute to extreme weather events in the first place).

From hearty freeze-dried meals to protein-packed mixes, these vegan survival kits are convenient, tasty, and good to go whenever you are. They’re perfect for off-grid living, camping adventures, or simply adding an extra layer of peace of mind to your pantry.

Here are our top picks for vegan emergency kits, buckets, and bags—ready to help you stay nourished, no matter what life throws your way.
