Uncharted Supply Co. is a Park City, Utah-based company founded in 2016 that designs premium survival systems with input from first responders, doctors, special operations personnel, and mountain guides. What distinguishes Uncharted from traditional preparedness brands is their systems-based approach—rather than simply stuffing a bag with supplies, they engineer complete survival ecosystems where every component serves multiple purposes and integrates seamlessly with the others. Their flagship SEVENTY2 systems gained national attention after appearing on Shark Tank in 2017 and have since been adopted by government agencies, emergency responders, and security organizations worldwide.

The brand's design philosophy centers on making emergency preparedness accessible to untrained users. Color-coded organization, screen-printed instructions directly on gear inserts, and intuitive layouts mean you don't need survival training to effectively use their products under pressure. Their waterproof, welded construction using 600D tarpaulin fabric survives harsh conditions while looking modern enough to avoid the "prepper aesthetic" that can draw unwanted attention during actual emergencies. Mountain Ready carries Uncharted Supply Co. products because they align with our commitment to stocking gear that performs when lives depend on it—products designed not just for hypothetical scenarios but engineered by people who've faced real emergencies and understood what actually matters in those critical first 72 hours.

The 72-hour timeframe is statistically validated—approximately 95% of all survival situations are resolved within three days, making this the most critical window for emergency preparedness. Uncharted Supply Co. built their entire product philosophy around this reality. Whether facing wildfires, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, blackouts, or unexpected evacuations, the first 72 hours determine outcomes more than any other period. Having the right gear during this window can mean the difference between waiting comfortably for rescue and facing life-threatening conditions.

This timeframe also represents a practical balance between comprehensive coverage and portability. A system designed for weeks of survival becomes too heavy and bulky to grab quickly during an evacuation. The SEVENTY2 systems pack enough food, water purification, shelter, first aid, fire-starting, and communication equipment to sustain one or two people through this critical period while remaining light enough to carry comfortably. The 72-hour focus also aligns with how emergency management professionals recommend preparing—FEMA and disaster preparedness experts consistently advise households to maintain supplies for at least three days of self-sufficiency. For situations requiring extended survival, the SEVENTY2 systems provide the foundation and organization to add supplemental supplies, but the core philosophy recognizes that most emergencies either resolve or transition to longer-term scenarios within this initial window.

The SEVENTY2 is designed for one person while the SEVENTY2 Pro supports two or more people with upgraded gear, a larger 36-liter waterproof backpack, and over 60 professional-grade tools. The standard SEVENTY2 contains 30+ survival tools organized in a waterproof backpack with an airtight design capable of functioning as a flotation device. It includes shelter, water filtration, food rations, first aid supplies, fire-starting gear, and communication equipment—everything one person needs for 72 hours. The canvas insert features removable plastic sheets that double as splints or emergency snowshoes, with color-coded instructions printed directly on the insert for high-stress situations.

The SEVENTY2 Pro builds on this foundation with the new Barron Backpack featuring a FlexFrame support structure, hydration bladder sleeve, reinforced IronHide panels in high-wear zones, and additional mounting points. Professional-grade tools are doubled for two-person use, and components are selected for repeated use in harsh environments rather than single-emergency durability. Both systems include Sawyer water filtration, NOAA emergency radios, and comprehensive first aid supplies. Choose the standard SEVENTY2 if you need individual coverage for a vehicle, office, or personal bug-out bag. Select the Pro if you have a partner, family member, or simply want the upgraded backpack construction and professional-grade components that government and security agencies specify. Mountain Ready also recommends the Pro for those who plan to customize and expand their kit over time.

The Zeus Air combines a 2000A jump starter with a 150 PSI tire inflator in one compact unit, while the Zeus Pro focuses on maximum jump-starting power with 20,000mAh capacity and 60W USB-C charging. Both address the most common roadside emergencies—dead batteries and flat tires—but approach the problem differently. The Zeus Air's built-in air compressor inflates car tires, bicycle tires, sports equipment, and inflatable gear at 40L/min with automatic shutoff, making it ideal for those who want one device handling multiple emergencies. Its 15,000mAh battery delivers 2000A peak power capable of starting gas engines up to 8.0L and diesel engines up to 6.0L.

The Zeus Pro foregoes the inflator for enhanced power delivery—its 20,000mAh lithium-polymer battery supports multiple jump starts and device charges before needing recharge. The 60W USB-C output/input enables laptop charging and rapid device replenishment, while comprehensive safety protections guard against short circuits, voltage irregularities, and temperature extremes. Both units include ultra-bright LED flashlights with constant, strobe, and SOS modes. For vehicle-centric preparedness, the Zeus Air's inflation capability addresses more scenarios in a single device. For maximum power reserve and faster device charging during extended outages, the Zeus Pro delivers. Both fit within Mountain Ready's Energy pillar recommendations for layered power redundancy, and serious preppers often stock both—Zeus Air in the daily driver, Zeus Pro in the emergency kit.

Uncharted offers four escalating first aid tiers: the pocket-sized Triage Kit, the travel-friendly First Aid Core, the comprehensive First Aid Pro, and the waterproof, tool-equipped First Aid Plus. Each builds progressively while maintaining Uncharted's philosophy of expert-curated contents that solve the widest range of problems rather than stuffing kits with endless bandages. The Triage Kit provides ultra-lightweight essentials for minimalists—basic first aid plus repair tools for field emergencies, fitting in a pocket or attached to gear. The First Aid Core weighs under 200 grams and handles everyday injuries with water-resistant construction and CPR instructions, sized for backpacks, glove boxes, or bicycle attachment.

The First Aid Pro represents the mid-tier workhorse—over a pound of professional-grade supplies in durable 600D Oxford polyester with MOLLE attachment capability. It includes the innovative Slishman Pressure Wrap that functions as compression bandage, splint support, or tourniquet substitute. A personal section allows customization with medications, sunscreen, or additional supplies. The First Aid Plus tops the lineup at 92 pieces, adding a waterproof 600D tarpaulin shell with welded seams, plus survival tools like a flashlight, chem lights, multi-tool, stormproof matches, and duct tape. Its rip-away MOLLE backer mounts to vehicles, packs, or shelter locations for immediate access. For Mountain Ready's 12 Pillars framework, the Core covers EDC and vehicle needs, the Pro handles outdoor adventures and home preparedness, and the Plus serves as a comprehensive field medical and survival station.

The Wolf Pack is a veterinarian-approved first aid kit integrated into a military-grade nylon dog collar, designed specifically to address cuts, bites, stings, and injuries your dog may encounter during outdoor adventures. The product was born from a real emergency—Uncharted founder Christian Schauf's 115-pound Swiss Mountain Dog, Barron, was struck by a ski while backcountry touring. Using an Uncharted Triage Kit, Christian improvised a tourniquet with duct tape and zip ties to save Barron's life. That experience revealed a critical gap: dog owners venturing into wilderness areas with their pets lacked dedicated, immediately accessible canine first aid solutions.

The Wolf Pack uses Fidlock magnetic buckle technology that self-secures with twice the strength of conventional buckles while allowing one-handed quick release. The 1.5-inch width distributes weight comfortably, and the larger L/XL size includes a built-in grab handle for control. Inside the water-resistant zippered pocket, you'll find gauze pads, nitrile gloves, precision forceps, antiseptic wipes, hemostatic wipes, bandage wrap, reusable zip ties for emergency muzzling (injured dogs may bite reflexively), and dog-specific first aid instructions. Available in M/L (16.5"-20.5") and L/XL (20.5"-23.5") sizes, the Wolf Pack transforms essential emergency gear into something your dog wears automatically on every adventure. For outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, and hikers who bring their dogs into backcountry situations, this represents intelligent preparedness—the kit is always present because it's part of the collar, not forgotten in a pack or vehicle.

The Slishman Pressure Wrap is an intuitive elastic compression bandage designed for untrained users to safely control bleeding without the risk of improper tourniquet application causing additional injury. Uncharted Supply Co. deliberately omits traditional tourniquets from their survival systems because tourniquets require proper training—applied incorrectly, they can cause nerve damage, tissue death, or fail to stop arterial bleeding. Most civilians haven't received this training, creating a dangerous gap between having life-saving equipment and knowing how to use it safely. The Slishman Pressure Wrap bridges this gap with forgiving, adjustable design.

Using the wrap is intuitive: apply direct pressure to the wound and wrap around. If too much pressure is applied, the wrap adjusts easily without worsening the injury—unlike a windlass tourniquet that can be over-tightened catastrophically. The Slishman enables one-handed self-application, works on longitudinal arm or leg lacerations that tourniquets can't address, and allows gauze placement underneath for wound packing. It also functions as splint support for fracture stabilization. This versatility means one lightweight device handles multiple emergency scenarios rather than requiring separate tourniquets, pressure bandages, and splinting materials. For trained users who already carry CAT tourniquets or similar devices, the Slishman adds complementary capability for junctional wounds or injuries where tourniquet placement isn't possible. For untrained users, it provides safer bleeding control that won't cause additional harm through improper application.

Uncharted Supply Co. addresses the three most common vehicle emergencies—dead batteries, flat tires, and medical incidents—with integrated solutions that fit in glove boxes and cargo areas. The Zeus Air jump starter/inflator combination solves both battery and tire issues in one compact unit that weighs under five pounds, fits in the included carrying case, and recharges in approximately 90 minutes via 60W USB-C. Its 300-lumen LED flashlight provides visibility for roadside repairs or signaling, with SOS and strobe modes for emergencies. The Zeus Pro offers enhanced power for larger vehicles or extended device charging during breakdowns.

For vehicle medical preparedness, the First Aid Plus mounts via its rip-away MOLLE backer to seat backs, cargo areas, or mounting panels, allowing instant access during emergencies. Its waterproof construction survives temperature extremes and moisture exposure in trunks or truck beds. The Extractor Tow Strap provides vehicle recovery capability when stuck in mud, snow, or off-road situations. For comprehensive vehicle preparedness, Mountain Ready recommends the SEVENTY2 as a permanent trunk resident—its grab-and-go design means if you must abandon your vehicle during an evacuation, you have 72 hours of survival capability in one waterproof backpack. The pack's modern design doesn't scream "survival gear," which matters if you're evacuating through crowds or urban areas where visible preparedness supplies might create problems.

Uncharted Supply Co. products excel as anchor points for each deployment tier in a layered preparedness strategy—EDC, vehicle, home, and evacuation. Their systems aren't designed to replace your entire preparedness infrastructure but to provide professionally organized, immediately deployable capability that integrates with other gear. The First Aid Core fits EDC and day-hiking applications, covering minor injuries while remaining small enough to carry daily. Vehicle preparedness combines the Zeus Air for roadside emergencies, First Aid Plus for medical capability, and a SEVENTY2 for evacuation readiness. Home preparedness might position a SEVENTY2 Pro near your primary exit as the designated grab-and-go bag while larger caches of food, water, and supplies remain in your shelter-in-place inventory.

Within Mountain Ready's 12 Pillars of Preparedness framework, Uncharted products address multiple pillars simultaneously. The SEVENTY2 systems cover Shelter (emergency blankets, rain ponchos), Water (Sawyer filtration), Fire (multiple ignition sources), Food (72-hour rations), First Aid (comprehensive medical supplies), Communication (NOAA radio), and Energy (USB charging capabilities). This integration means acquiring one well-designed system advances multiple preparedness categories rather than requiring separate purchases for each pillar. The modular approach also allows customization—the SEVENTY2's extra capacity accommodates personal medications, additional food, regional-specific gear, or supplemental items without reorganizing the core system. For preppers building comprehensive readiness, Uncharted provides the organization and quality foundation that you then build upon with specialized equipment.

Uncharted Supply Co. develops products through collaboration with first responders, trauma physicians, special operations personnel, and professional mountain guides rather than simply aggregating generic survival supplies. This expert input shows in details like the Slishman Pressure Wrap designed for untrained users, color-coded organization enabling rapid response under stress, and instructions printed directly on gear inserts so critical information is never lost. Their backpacks use 600D dual-coated tarpaulin with welded waterproof construction and roll-top closures rated for submersion—the SEVENTY2 can function as an emergency flotation device because no water enters through seams or zippers.

Material selection prioritizes performance under repeated use in harsh conditions rather than single-emergency adequacy. The Sawyer water filtration systems in SEVENTY2 kits process 100,000 gallons—a lifetime supply. Empire knives offer substantial weight and sharpness for serious cutting tasks. Components are continuously updated as vendors improve quality while maintaining consistent pricing. This stands in stark contrast to budget kits filled with anonymous supplies that may fail when needed. The Museum of Modern Art recognized Uncharted's design excellence by featuring their products, and government agencies specify SEVENTY2 systems for professional deployment. For Mountain Ready's veteran-owned operation, recommending Uncharted aligns with our commitment to gear that performs under pressure—equipment designed by people who understand that emergency situations don't forgive equipment failures.
