How-to

# Browse kits and filter to your plan

Open BeEquipped > Kits, then narrow the catalog with search and the left-rail filters (scenario, outcome, timeframe, climate, price, contents); if you have a BeReady plan, tap Match my plan to auto-fit and rank kits by how well they fit it.

Updated August 29, 2026

## The idea

The kit catalog starts wide and lets you narrow it to your situation. Filters describe each kit by what it is for: scenario, outcome, timeframe, climate, price, and what it contains. If you have a finished BeReady plan, the page can pre-fit the whole catalog to it in one tap.

## Using it

Open BeEquipped > Kits. You land on every available kit, grouped by scenario, with a filter rail on the left, a search-and-sort toolbar across the top, and a running kit count on the right.

![Browse and filter kits on the BeEquipped Kits page](https://bepreparedsolutions.co/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdb.bepreparedsolutions.co%2Fstorage%2Fv1%2Fobject%2Fpublic%2Fhelp-center-media%2Fbeequipped%2Fkit-browser.png&w=3840&q=75)

Browse and filter kits on the BeEquipped Kits page

1.  **Search by keyword.** Type in the "Search kits..." box at the top. It matches a kit's name and description, so a word like "water" or "winter" narrows the grid as you type. Use the X to clear it.
2.  **Filter in the left rail.** Each section is a checklist with a live count next to every option:
    -   **Scenario** is the event the kit is built for. Pick one scenario and a **Sub-scenario** drill-down appears beneath it for finer focus.
    -   **Outcome it addresses** is the result you want, for example staying warm or staying fed.
    -   **Timeframe** uses a slider to set how long the kit should sustain you, from shortest to longest.
    -   **Climate** matches kits to your conditions.
    -   **Price** uses a slider to set a range.
    -   **Kits that contain** filters to kits that include a specific essential category. You can stack filters across sections. The counts update as you go, so you always see how many kits each option still has.
3.  **Sort the results.** Use **Sort by** in the toolbar: Featured, Price (low to high or high to low), Name (A-Z), Most items, or Most coverage.
4.  **Change the grouping.** **Group by** controls how results are clustered: Scenario (the default), Outcome, Price band, Timeframe, or No grouping for a flat grid. When grouped, you also get **Compact / Comfortable** density and **Expand all / Collapse all**.
5.  **Read your active filters.** Every filter you apply shows as a chip below the toolbar. Click a chip to drop just that one, or **Clear all** to reset.
6.  **Open a kit.** Click any card for a quick-view of what is inside, without leaving the page.

### Match it to your plan

If you have a completed BeReady plan, the page knows which scenarios you chose. Click **Match my plan** at the top of the filter rail (marked "Auto-fit"). It filters the catalog to your plan's scenarios and sorts by **Best fit, your plan**, so the most relevant kits rise to the top.

With a plan applied, cards carry a green **"{n}% match, your plan"** badge. That percentage is the kit's best fit against your plan's scenarios, scored in your report, so a higher number means a closer match to what you actually planned for.

## What to do when ...

-   **No kits show up.** You have likely stacked filters tighter than any single kit covers. The page says "No off-the-shelf kit covers all of that" and offers two buttons: **Clear all filters** to loosen up, or **Build a custom kit** to assemble one item by item to your exact requirements.
-   **You want to undo just one filter.** Click its chip below the toolbar rather than clearing everything.
-   **You see "Save X% with Combo".** That badge means a kit discount is available to Combo members and applies automatically at checkout. Combo members instead see "X% off applied," and each card already shows the Combo price.

## How people actually use it

A parent in a wildfire-prone area types "evacuation" in search, picks their **Climate**, and sorts by **Most coverage** to see the broadest go-bags first. A BeReady subscriber skips the manual filtering: they tap **Match my plan**, scan the green match badges, and open the two highest-percentage kits to compare what is inside.

## Where this fits

Browsing kits is the "Have supplies" step of the loop, right after "Have a plan." If you have not built your BeReady plan yet, do that first so **Match my plan** can do the narrowing for you. If a kit is close but not exact, **Build your own** lets you tailor it. From here, add kits to your cart to check out.
