NET Trainees often find they can construct most of their kit from items around the home, and simply buy the few pieces they do not already possess. The one highly specialized item in the kit is the 4-in-1 tool (see below for details). | NET Trainees often find they can construct most of their kit from items around the home, and simply buy the few pieces they do not already possess.

Trainees can purchase a whole kit from vendors | Trainees can purchase a whole kit from vendors. As of March 2025 we do not have vendor who provides NET-branded equipment; the previous supplier was bought by a new company. Note that CERT-branded kits are green instead of orange/red NET branding; that does not affect functionality but don't pay extra for CERT branding. | ||
If you wish to buy a whole kit instead of pieces, the vendors on the list below can accommodate you. Any of the kits on the the list is enough (or more than enough) for your FFE. If ordering for delivery, be sure to act early so that your equipment arrives on time for your FFE! And please do not feel limited to this list. | |||

Over time, a NET volunteer will enhance and customize their own packs. For those who want to start on that early, PBEM recommends considering the items in the following list. These items are NOT required. Rows in <span style="background:#D35D30; color:white">'''orange highlight'''</span> are provided by PBEM and you should not purchase them ''unless'' PBEM has no supply of them available. | Over time, a NET volunteer will enhance and customize their own packs.

Many NETs also find it useful to create a "quick access kit" of a few frequently used items that they carry in a fanny pack, to reduce the number of times they must put their backpack on and off. | |||
