ShelterBox is sending their awesome, super-compact, heavy duty disaster relief boxes to Japan (you can help them with a single $1 donation). They pack 100 pounds of equipment in just 33 x 24 x 22 inches. Here’s what is inside:

• A custom-made shelter tent that fits up to 10 people, designed to withstand extreme temperatures and rain. It even has privacy partitions inside.

• Thermal blankets and insulated ground sheets.

• Water purification system that runs for six months.

• Industrial-grade steel mini stove that can use wood or any other fuel, for heating and cooking.

• Cooking utensils.

• Bowls, mugs, and other containers.

• Toolbox with hammer, axe, saw, trenching shovel, hoe head, pliers and wire cutters.

• A children pack with drawing books, crayons and pens, to keep the kids distracted after losing all their toys.

• And of course, the heavy duty box can be used to store anything, from food to water.
