Camping Survival.com Now Offers Over 20K Products, Including MRE and Emergency Survival Kits
Having recently expanded its product line, Camping Survival.com now offers over 20,000 products, which predominantly focus on preparedness and survival, such as MRE, water filter systems, and emergency survival kits.
Fulton, NY (PRWEB) June 26, 2007 -- From wildfires to hurricanes or any number of other natural phenomena, disaster can strike no matter where you live. In some cases, you'll be required to leave your home with only moments to spare. In other situations, you might have to take refuge inside your home and survive for days or weeks without essential services, such as water, gas and electricity.
Because of this, emergency supplies are becoming mainstream commodities for disaster preparedness. In fact, the American Red Cross recommends assembling an emergency supplies kit containing water, MRE (Meals Ready to Eat) , a first aid kit, clothing and bedding. They also suggest storing a tent, sleeping bags, mess kits, fire extinguisher, can opener, rain gear, and a map of the area for locating shelters.
"Nobody can forget the images of the people in New Orleans walking across the bridges to get away from the flooding," said Tom Sciacca, President of Camping Survival.com. "More recently, we've seen the catastrophic effect of tornadoes. In a situation where you have to get out of your home quickly, an emergency supplies kit will be your best friend."
The American Red Cross recommendations include a minimum three-day supply of food that requires no refrigeration or cooking. This can be ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits, and vegetables. MRE (Meals Ready to Eat) - a staple of US military and rescue operations - is another popular way to provide food supplies. MRE is convenient for also, as it's pre-cooked and ready to eat from the pouch.
"The modern MRE is light years beyond the old military rations," Sciacca explained. "The MRE we carry at CampingSurvival.com are available in a variety of flavors, including Beef Ranchero Meat Loaf, Jamaican Pork Chop, Chicken with Cavatelli and Black Bean and Rice Burrito. The MRE are not just entrees, but full meals, including side dishes, dessert, crackers, spread and coffee. MRE will ensure you and your family are fed while others are stampeding supermarket shelves in the aftermath of a disaster."
The Red Cross guidelines also call for a minimum of a three-day supply of water available for each person. The recommend you compile a first aid kit with bandages, antiseptic wipes, small scissors and latex gloves. Keep the most crucial items you are likely to need during an evacuation in an easy-to carry container like a large, covered trash container, camping backpack, or duffle bag.
"In an emergency, you can never count on being able to find safe, drinkable water," said Sciacca. "Bottled water is fine until you run out - will you be able to find more? A water filter system is a long-term way to ensure safe water for your family.
With all the emergency supplies you could conceivably put into your emergency kit, you could spend an eternity shopping for the necessary items. Sciacca says that the easiest way is to purchase a high quality "Go Bag" or "Bugout Bag" - other names that emergency kits are known by - from CampingSurvival.com.
And while some vendors put cheap, low quality items in these all-in-one emergency kits, CampingSurvival.com put theirs together based upon what their team uses in their own go bags. The CampingSurvival.com Go Bag includes a backpack, MRE, AquaBlox water purification, survival blanket, rain poncho, energy bar, hygiene kit, first aid kit and much more.
"It is generally said that it takes emergency services three days (72 hours) to set up relief services," Sciacca concluded. "You should be able to take care of yourself and your family for a minimum of 72 hours in any kind of man-made or natural disaster. With the ease and convenience of our high quality Go Bag, there is simply no reason not to have an emergency survival kit ready for yourself and your loved ones."
