Trekking Essentials Waterproof Survival Kit - DofE and Expedition Specialist
This Trekking Essentials Waterproof Survival Kit is specifically designed for long-distance walks, Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) training, and expeditions. Unlike compact tin-based survival kits, this comes in an ultralight waterproof dry bag that keeps everything organized and protected. With 15 carefully selected items weighing just 253g, it's perfect for weight-conscious trekkers who need comprehensive emergency backup. At £23.89, it's exceptional value for a complete expedition-ready survival system.
Perfect for DofE and Long-Distance Walking
This kit is ideal for Duke of Edinburgh participants who need reliable emergency equipment that won't weigh them down. The ultralight dry bag design means you can carry comprehensive survival gear without the bulk of traditional kits. The emergency poncho provides crucial weather protection, while the LED micro torch and emergency nightlight ensure you have reliable lighting for extended periods.
Ultralight Waterproof Dry Bag System
The 1-litre waterproof dry bag is made from siliconised 40D ripstop nylon with PU coating and taped seams - genuinely waterproof, not just water-resistant. The roll-top closure doubles as a grab handle, making it easy to access in emergencies. At just 253g total weight, this system gives you comprehensive survival capability without the weight penalty of metal tins or bulky containers.
Comprehensive First Aid and Repair Kit
Unlike basic survival kits, this includes proper first aid items: waterproof sterile plasters, wound dressing, and zinc oxide tape for treating injuries on long expeditions. The sewing repair kit, duct tape, and cable ties handle equipment failures, while the petroleum jelly serves multiple purposes from fire starting to blister prevention. The paracord provides versatile cordage for shelter, repairs, or emergency situations.
Advanced Emergency Signalling
The extremely loud distress whistle ensures you can signal for help across long distances, while the emergency long life nightlight provides sustained visibility for rescue operations. Combined with the LED micro torch, you have multiple lighting options that won't fail when you need them most. The round boot laces might seem basic, but broken laces can end an expedition - this simple inclusion shows the practical thinking behind this kit.

Common Questions
Is this suitable for DofE expeditions?
Yes - it's specifically designed for DofE training and expeditions, with ultralight construction and comprehensive emergency items that won't weigh you down.
How waterproof is the dry bag?
Genuinely waterproof with taped seams and PU coating - it will keep contents dry even if submerged, unlike basic water-resistant containers.
Why was the cutting tool removed?
To comply with distance selling regulations, but the kit still provides comprehensive survival capability with the remaining 15 items.
How does this compare to tin-based survival kits?
This is lighter, more waterproof, and designed specifically for long-distance walking rather than general survival situations.
Age Verification Shipping
It is illegal to dispatch any bladed tool without passing the age verification process.
After placing your order, you must complete the age verification step immediately. Failure to do so will result in delays or cancellation of your order. This is a legal requirement for all UK knife retailers.
For all age-restricted items, we use Royal Mail Tracked services within the UK. This ensures compliance with legal obligations and provides secure, trackable delivery.
Shipping Charges
We offer free shipping on orders over £100. Orders under £100 are charged a flat rate of £5.99. Some long, heavy, or oversized items may incur additional shipping costs, which will be clearly shown at checkout.
Dispatch & Delivery Times
Drew personally packs all orders. Please allow up to 2 working days for dispatch. This allows time for order processing, age verification, and maintaining personal customer service standards.
Average delivery is 3–5 working days. Many parcels arrive sooner, but delays may occur if age verification is not completed promptly.

Drew has over 20 years of experience in e-commerce, logistics, and fulfillment — and personally handles every aspect of your order. You're in safe hands, and we’re here if you need support.
30-Day Returns & Exchanges

We offer a 30-day (from the date of purchase) return and exchange policy. You may return most new, unopened, unused, and unworn items within 30 days of your order for a refund or exchange. You must contact us within 14 days of delivery to initiate the return process.
Some products (such as used batteries and underwear) are non-returnable. Returned items must be in a resellable, brand-new condition to qualify for a refund or exchange.
How to Request a Return
Log into your account, view your order using the “Complete Orders” link under the My Account menu, and click the “Return Item(s)” button. Indicate whether you’d like a refund or exchange. Drew will confirm and issue instructions (including invoice if exchanging), then await the returned item.
Refund Processing Times
Refunds are typically issued within one week of receiving the returned item.
Please allow 3–5 working days for returns or exchanges to be processed once your item arrives. Most are handled faster, depending on workload.
