Portable Power Systems
Portable Power Systems
Small back up power systems can provide power for a short time for small appliances, lights, fans, and cell phones, in the event of a power outage. These silent, portable power systems have a battery and built in inverter, giving you a basic backup power system. They can be charged with an AC source or the solar electric panel during the day, and then you plug appliances directly into the inverter or into a cigarette lighter adapter from the inverter.
Emergency Survival Food
Emergency Survival Food
Be ready for whatever life throws at you with nutritional, tasty emergency food. Keep a few high calorie emergency bars in the car for a quick "meal" on the go when time is tight. Have plenty of prepackaged, single serving meals in the pantry for the unexpected natural disaster that takes out the power.

Emergency Preparedness is Key!

The biggest drawback to the country life is the more you do it yourself, the more you seem to do to yourself. Being prepared when an emergency arises should be at the top of every person’s mind. In the event of an emergency, should the weather be treacherous or people reside on a remote ranch, it could be hours before professional medical care is available. It is for these reasons that we recommend that you always be prepared and always have access to emergency survival supplies.


While a First Aid kit is not intended to be a substitute for professional care, during a crisis the use of an emergency preparedness kit could make a significant difference in treatment once professional care is acquired. In addition to the emergency survival kits that we offer, we also recommend having the following items on hand:

  •     Q-tips.
  •     A thermometer.
  •     Tylenol and children's Tylenol for fever, swelling, and pain relief.
  •     Aspirin is useful for a heart attack, but not for a bleeding trauma.
  •     Chlorine bleach for disinfecting equipment and linens.
  •     Alcohol, hydrogen peroxide and iodine for disinfecting minor abrasions and wounds.
  •     Benedryl is useful for some allergic reactions.
  •     Caladryl for insect bites and stings.
  •     Syrup of Ipecac and activated charcoal for poisoning.
  •     Cough syrup.
  •     Pepto Bismol, antacids, Epsom's Salts, Ben-Gay, and antibiotic ointments.

Furthermore, emergency first aid is really only the first step to being prepared. We also offer and recommend that people consider emergency food supplies, camping gear and survival supplies which can be easily added to a back pack for outdoor preparedness. Additionally, these items could also be conveniently kept in your vehicle in case of an accident, breakdown or inclement weather conditions.
