I am a stay-at-home mom of 2 children, 1 dog and 13 chickens. My husband and I have gone "back to basics" in many aspects of our life to become more self-sufficient while still living in the suburbs, 20 minutes from the city. We want to be prepared to survive whatever the future may bring... job-loss, inflation, deepening recession, natural disaster, or worse... hopefully, nothing will happen at all except achieving the peace of mind that preparedness brings! After spending years researching how to be prepared, we saw the need for a one-stop shop for preparedness and emergency survival goods... so... we started our own company called, Survival Products Direct! We want to make it easy for you to be prepared like us without having to spend as much time as we did researching. So, we compiled all the essentials for you on this blog and on our retail website, www.survivalproductsdirect.com

Virgina Earthquake - Are you prepared for a disaster?
Although today's earthquake in Virgina produced little damage (thank goodness!), it reminded me that I feel [as] secure [as one can be] in the fact that if and when a strong earthquake were to strike here (predictions say that we are due for "the big one" here in the Pacific Northwest), I have survival gear prepared for my family to grab and go if we have to leave our home in a hurry. I also have Long Term Food Storage so that my family will have an emergency food supply to fall back on if we are unable to get to the store, or if the store was destroyed! Since I just started this blog, I haven't yet put together a post on emergency survival kits, but we do sell some pre-assembled kits on our website www.survivalproductsdirect.com , HERE and HERE that you might find helpful either for ideas for your own kit or to purchase to save yourself some time and money. I pray that no one was injured today in the earthquake in Virgina, and I hope that there are not significant aftershocks.
