PREPAREDNESS & SURVIVAL<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Overview:<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

\u201cBe Prepared\u201d is the Boy Scout motto; it is a simple guiding principle that many aren’t aware of, or do not see the importance of in our modern world.<\/span><\/p>\n

At SRE, we believe that for an American citizen to fulfill his or her role as a productive, happy, and successful individual, he\/she must be confident, and possess the capacity to rise to the occasion when situations require it. Collecting the appropriate equipment and training (mentally and physically) for events that would throw society into a tailspin is a responsibility for those who must protect themselves and loved ones from the elements and predators of all varieties. All civilizations come to an end: natural disaster, economic collapse, nuclear attack, fuel shortage, famine and drought are certain eventualities that can be prepared for. The ability to protect one\u2019s life, liberty and property is imperative in order to continue the American way, even after our nation is ancient history. Our task at SRE is to try to make citizens more aware of the world around them, and to demonstrate and make available the tools that will promote success and independence. \u00a0While we hope to provide our customers with all the tools we\u2019ve deemed essential for self reliance, we also don\u2019t want to overburden or overwhelm anyone with extra junk that never gets used. We have tested and frequently use all of the products we sell, and aside from specialized emergency and battle equipment, it is our hope that products purchased from SRE will find productive roles in the hands of our customers.<\/p>\n

Fear should not be a marketing tool. However, dangers in life are always present, and we should be aware of them. As a service to the less observant, we point out basic needs, common threats, and the tools and methods to address them. Danger can make life more interesting and exciting; being prepared for the unexpected is a great comfort and a trump card that few possess. It is for love of life that we prepare ourselves so that our progeny may live to enjoy the little things that make this world so special. This document outlines common obstacles and threats, and offers some starting points on the path to self reliance.<\/p>\n

Important Note: <\/b> Use this information as a starting point to determine your individual needs and understand that this comprehensive list includes considerably more dangers and gear than would be required in all but the most extreme lifestyles. Many specialized tools can be improvised, and unusual obstacles overcome with duct tape, a Swiss Army knife, and some toothpicks. Knowledge is power, and while tools magnify that power, sometimes those tools are not practical to own.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
