KEA KIT is an outdoor survival kit to help you better prepare for all your adventures. 

Organised into the 5 pillars of outdoor survival and including over 30 items of just the most essential survival gear. You can stay calm when disaster strikes and explore with the confidence that you’re prepared for anything.

Included in the KEA KIT is over 30 items of  just the most essential, quality survival gear curated by outdoor adventure experts. The gear you carry with you on your adventures can make all the difference in dire situations. You need gear that you can trust to get the job done and not fail on you at the first use. 

The KEA KIT can be customised and adapted to any type of adventure. The modular design allows you to simply put the whole kit into your pack, or just remove the internal cases to use on their own for those shorter trips. Each case fitted with an external loop so it can easily be clipped onto any pack and internal organisation compartments help to easily pack your gear to suit any adventure.

The KEA KIT was designed for both safety and convenience so we made it compact & lightweight. It fits easily into any outdoor backpack or hiking pack, helping you to easily prepare with all your essential survival gear in one easy access case. The compact design size also means it’s also great for storing as a backup survival kit in your Car, RV, Home, Boat.

The KEA KIT is built tough to suit the rugged demands of the wild. Each case is built from high quality, durable and water-resistant materials. With each featuring strong, long-lasting water-resistant zippers.

Being prepared for the outdoors is an essential part of planning any adventure. From packing the right gear, to knowing how to use it. Taking your safety seriously can literally mean the difference between life and death. 

We hear you…. Survival kits out there today are poorly designed and mostly full of cheap, flimsy gear that you’ll never use, not to mention trust with your life. Leaving you vulnerable and with a false sense of security. 

That’s why we created the KEA KIT, because at beREDI Outdoors we believe that preparation is the absolute key to survival and you should never compromise on safety or quality, when your life is at stake.

For this campaign we will only be shipping to USA, Canada, New Zealand & Australia. This is to make sure we can easily deliver to our backers. But we plan to offer the KEA KIT worldwide later in the year!

The KEA KIT was inspired by the spectacular, native New Zealand Alpine Parrot, the Kea. As the world only alpine parrot, they are cheeky, curious and have adapted to use the tools at their disposal to survive in one of the harshest environments in the world. Sadly they are listed as an endangered species, with only a few thousand Kea living in the wild.

We are passionate about these special birds and that’s why we have partnered with the Kea Conservation Trust to help support them in their mission to protect KEA and improve their future prospects in the wild.

The Kea Conservation Trust was set up in 2006 to assist in conservation of wild Kea in their natural habitat. Their mission is to ensure an enriched and sustainable future for both wild and captive Kea populations for the long-term benefit of all New Zealanders.

The idea for the KEA KIT was born in early 2020 during the first Covid-19 lockdown in New Zealand. With the international borders closing, Matt’s guiding work quickly dried up so he decided it was time to work on a problem that had been bugging him for years. “How can I make it easier to carry everything I need to be prepared for all my outdoor adventures, without compromising on quality”.

Like most keen adventurers, Matt was frustrated with the current survival kit options on the market, with no serious options that you can trust. So that’s when it began, Matt decided it was time to solve the problem and build a kit that covered all the bases. After a rough hand drawing, we constructed a 3D model to better realise the concept and that’s when we knew this could be something good. 

We set off to find a manufacturer and after a bit of trail & error we settled on a factory that also supplies some of the world’s top bag manufacturers.  With the case being a work in progress, we were constantly in the process of sourcing the best pieces of gear to go inside. Keeping to the motto of “Everything you need, Nothing you don’t” we resisted the urge to add anything but the essentials, ensuring that you have just what you need, when you need it.

Following over a year of development and testing, we now have a finished product that we are excited to be sharing it with all the adventurers around the world.  We are dedicated to continually improving the KEA KIT and look forward to engaging with our Kickstarter community to find more ways we can help make your outdoor adventures better!
