Is Climate Change a Potential Threat to US Security?

According to recent news, the changing global climate will pose profound strategic challenges to the United States in coming decades, raising the prospect of military intervention to deal with the effects of violent storms, drought, mass migration and pandemics, military and intelligence analysts say. Such climate-induced crises could topple governments, feed terrorist movements or destabilize entire regions, say the analysts, experts at the Pentagon and intelligence agencies who for the first time are taking a serious look at the national security implications of climate change.

Emergency Equipment

Living in this precarious world, you need to be prepared for any emergency with the proper emergency equipment and supplies. Whether it be a natural disaster prevalent in your geographic area, such as an earthquake or hurricane, or a man made disaster, such as a terrorist attack or fire, or a pandemic, you need to have emergency kits with the proper survival and medical supplies. In the event of a catastrophic disaster or pandemic, emergency personnel may be overwhelmed and unable to assist all those in need of medical and rescue attention. That's why you and your family should have reliable emergency equipment and supplies that you can count on during uncertain times when stores and services may not be available and roads closed. Make sure you and your family have basic emergency essentials on hand: food, water, warmth, communication, emergency lighting & tools. Feel secure knowing that our wind up flashlights and radios will never run out of batteries or charge.

Emergency Water Filtration | Berkey Water Filter | Drip Gravity Water Filter

Unfortunately, securing your access to good tasting, sparkling, wholesome drinking water can be harder than you might expect.  Water is often laced with chlorine, lead, high levels of harmful bacteria, and other unwanted chemicals and contaminants.  Frequently these produce unpleasant tastes and odors.  Even bottled water can contain these same contaminants, and moreover is very expensive.  Other filtration systems are inferior. Most do not remove pathogenic bacteria and many remove the beneficial minerals that your body needs. Your body and health deserves the best! The Black Berkey^® purification element formulation has been tested by State & EPA accredited laboratories to exceed EPA & ANSI/NSF (Std. 53) protocol. Berkey^® water filters are the World’s Most Powerful and Economical Personal Water purification Systems Providing Reliable and User-friendly Water Purification in Both Normal and Hostile Filtration Environments. Moreover, Berkey^® water filters are capable of purifying both treated water and untreated raw water from such sources as remote lakes, streams, stagnant ponds and water supplies in foreign countries, where regulations may be substandard at best. So powerful, this system is able to remove food coloring from water without removing the beneficial minerals your body needs. Perfect for everyday use and a must in hostile environments where electricity, water pressure or treated water may not be available.

We've tried all the rest and settled on the best when it came to long term freeze dried foods. We offer the finest selection of freeze dried food, canned food and healthy long term food storage products on the internet. We don't sell cardboard in a can, we actually eat the food we recommend. Whether your needs are for long term food storage, outdoor survival or backpacking, we offer the top quality name brands that have stood the test of time. Our freeze dried foods are vacuum sealed in cans with low moisture content and nitrogen packed. You don't have to sacrifice good quality tasting food for your long term food storage or camping needs. Freeze dried food has the highest nutritional content of any storable food. More nutritional value than dehydrated and regular canned foods. These are the same foods that the military stores, with an exceptional 25-30 year shelf life! Our freeze dried food is gourmet restaurant quality food with a variety of entrees to please meat eaters, vegetarians, and special dietary needs. Choose from a variety of cans, pouches or mre's (meals ready to eat) for your specific needs. Our canned meats are specially ordered when you need them, to ensure you get the freshest food possible. Rest assured they haven't been sitting on a shelf in some warehouse aging for years. We believe in eating and storing the cleanest and healthiest foods available.

Grain Mills | Dehydrators | Emergency Kitchen Essentials

Our selection of kitchen essentials completes any emergency, homesteading or camping need. Choose from our line of food dehydrators, canning equipment, mobile stoves and grain mills. We have what you need to preserve your garden and live off your food. Convenient sprouting kits, wheat grass juicers, saucers and strainers complete any homesteader kitchen needs. Sprout kits add essential nutrients to balance any food storage diet. You can be assured fresh greens in practically any environment, especially when going outdoors or having a garden may not be available. Thermal cookers and cookware offer fuel efficiency and practical cooking when conventional methods may not be available. No need to reheat or cool your food when you can keep it cold or warm for up to 8 hours. No food storage is complete without wheat, and wheat isn't any good without a good grain grinder. Being able to make a simple staple of bread everyday becomes the backbone of a daily diet in times of need. Bread can be made in so many different ways, and goes great with so many different meals. Don't forget to add simple essentials like salt, honey, butter and miso to your food storage. Most people tend to overlook these crucial ingredients when preparing. They add flavor as well as medicinal qualities.

Emergency Gear | Emergency Equipment

Many people tend to not think beyond food and water when it comes to creature comforts and basic emergency essentials. Having a light source and communication are as important as having food and water. Whether your light source is an emergency candle or a wind up or rechargeable flashlight, these are needed for safety as well as mental well being. Having a light source is mandatory for seeing as well as keeping people calm. Being able to keep in touch with the outside world and having a means of communication with an emergency radio can mean the difference between danger or your well being. It's important to know what's happening in any disaster, emergency or survival situation. Having simple basic tools can help you better cope with any damage or assist in emergency situations. This brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "chop wood, carry water".

Are You Prepared?

If you believe that you don't need any preparations because some government agency will take care of you, or that nothing will happen because the sun is shining outside, or you refuse to take personal responsibility for your life and expect someone else to do it for you, then don't bother reading any further.

However, If your soul is restless at night with the thought of our troubled world, and you can handle the truth about your life and want to do something about it, then read on. You're ready to ask the bigger questions and take responsibility. We believe in starting within oneself the journey of self preservation and survival. If we each start with our self, then in essence we have started to help the whole. You have made a choice of self preservation. We are not prophets of doom and gloom, but rather realists who are not afraid to see into the future. If you're prepared, then you should have no reason to be fearful. You only need to pick up the latest newspaper, see the latest news on t. v., or look beyond your computer program to see what's going on in the world. You should be asking yourself, " this is what they openly say to us, then what aren't they really telling us?" Maybe you should ask yourself these basic questions:

1. Is my home or where I live safe? If I live in a city, how safe will my family and I be in a time of panic or emergency?
2. Do I have whatever I need if my family and I were not able to leave our house for long periods of time?
3. Do I have enough water stored if water tables shifted and/or water is not readily available?
4. Do I have enough food to eat that requires little or no energy to prepare? What if I couldn't get to a grocery store? How many people do I need to provide for?
5. What if I or my family were not able to get to a doctor or dentist? Do I have all my families medical needs stocked in case we're not able to get to a drug store?
6. Do I have what it takes to grow my own garden if I don't have sufficient food supply or needed to live off our land?
7. What if we had no electricity, how would we live and what would we need to sustain ourselves?
8. Is my home safe against outside elements, pillagers and rogue people? How would I defend our resources and protect my family in times of unrest?
9. Do I have the necessary tools and equipment on hand to be able to function and make repairs in case of an emergency or disaster?
10. Do I have sufficient resources for clothing, warmth, lighting and basic creature comforts, especially for infants and small children?
11. Do I have a preparedness plan mapped out and a safe place for my family to go in case of unforeseen disaster or emergency?
12. Most importantly, do I have a survivor attitude to rise above my situation and become greater than my environment?

If you were brave enough to ask yourself these questions, then you probably have a pretty good idea of how to answer them. The products in our store are the answers to these questions. Climate change, contaminated food and water supplies, reliance on fossil fuels, teetering economies, and a war machine mentality government are just a few reasons why a wise person would take heed and secure safety and basic preparations. Ever stop to take the time to watch an ant colony? Nature could teach us a valuable lesson from these little creatures. They put away and stock up in times of abundance. Why don't you? It's never too late to prepare today!
