Hello All.
So I am creating this thread with some basic information guides and links to resources that you can use in order to better prepare yourself and stay safe in times of emergencies. One of the things that I think is contributing to the panic is that people just simply don't know what to do or how to prepare for the worst. On any given day we are only a matter of weeks from things going catastrophically wrong and world supply chains either being seriously disrupted or ended. War, political tensions, disease or all the above could contribute to that. So what I am posting here is a resource guide for all to use in order to prepare. However, I understand that there is a possibility that not all these resources may be available internationally. So I am asking those members in foreign countries outside of the United State and or Canada to post links as well. The idea for this thread is to link to necessary resources only. Food, water and any other essentials. That is it. Do not post in this thread if you have nothing to contribute. Post links to resources that you know will help.
So I'll start off.
My Patriot Supply. They start off with a 2 week and 4 week food storage containers. Their stuff can last up to 25 years in storage. I've already got mine on order and suggest you do the same. If you are listeners to Doctor Steve Turley or Dan Bongino there are promo codes to help get 40% off. I highly recommend them. However, given recent events they are seriously backlogged 4 weeks as of my last communique with them. They are constantly updating me on the progress of my order. They've since opened another warehouse and distribution center to meet demand.
My Patriot Supply:
They have 25 year shelf life, free shipping on orders 99 dollars or more, glutton free and special diet options, and a 30 day no question return policy if you aren't satisfied. Their current rating is a (Buyers Guide 9.9) which gives them the highest rating of all these brands out there.
Just under My Patriot Supply with a rating of (Buyers Guide 9.7) is a group called Legacy Food Storage. You have the same options in terms of selections as listed for My patriot supply in terms of gluton free or special diet options. I've heard nothing but good things from these guys as well and they come highly recommended.
Legacy Food Storage:
Next we have a group called 'Survival Frog' rated at (Buyers Guide 9.2). In addition to the usual options mentioned you also have canned meats, straw like water filters, pocket stoves and so on.
Survival Frog:
Next we have American Family Safety. These guys are a bit different as they focus more on emergency survival kits for up to 72 hours. Home Safety Kits, Car safety Kits, Office and School safety kits. These can be customized as needed for Hurricanes, Floods, Blackouts, wildfires, Earth Quakes, terrorism and medical kits. They are rated at a buyers guide of 8.6.
I'm seriously looking into investing in something like this in addition to My Patriot Supply.
And finally we have 'Emergency Essentials' Rated by the Buyers Guide at 8.4. What makes these guys a bit more unique than American family safety is that they also Quarentine supply kits and pandemic supply kits. In addition to basic MREs, 1 week, 2 week, 1 month, 3 month, 6 month and up to 1 year food supplies. They also have a host of other things to help with preparedness.

That's about it concerning some of these major sites for emergency resources. But you can also do smaller things to aid with what you need. And here, oh boy, Does Amazon really come through.
One of those is the 'WaterBOB Bathtub Emergency Water Storage Container. Can hold up to 100 Galons of drinking water. Its portable and easy to use, and would take at most 30 minutes to fill up.
I will warn you ahead of time that while most reviews are positive, there has been noted instances of difficulty drying the thing out after it has been used. I currently have 2 of them but have yet to use them.
Next up we have the Monoki Survival Outdoor Medkit. I have one on order but it has yet to arrive.
Monoki Survial Outdoor Medkit:
Rescue Guard First Aid for Hurricane/Earthquake/Disaster survival bag:
FosPower Emergency Solar Handcrank portable radio, NOAA Emergency Radio for househould and outdoor emergency. With AM/FM Radio, LED Flashlight, Reading Lamp, 2000mah power bank USB charger and SOS alarm:
Might be a bit much, but its fairly reasonably priced and can charge your phone if needed.
Probably like a lot of you, I didn't see the Corona virus coming, or maybe didn't take it serious enough in terms of the disruptive effects it could have on our day to day lives. But once I did, I took immediate action only to find out that there would be delays. In this I have no one to blame but myself. Well consider me humbled and well informed now. And probably like many of you, I didn't prepare as well as I could have. I seek to change that. I'm sure that this Corona thing will eventually blow over, but what about the next thing that hits? Some of us live in areas that have Wildfires, Hurricanes and or Earthquakes. Or maybe we find ourselves in a situation we weren't quite prepared for. The links I have posted are not a 'Be All, End All' link to supplies and or services. If you have links to anything that you feel might be helpful, please link them immediately. Or, if you have links to resources that are more regional specific to speed up delivery times (Or by Country) then link those too and I will threadmark them. Please post only if you have something to contribute.
Thank you all, and I wish for you all to remain healthy, safe and prepared.
