Emergency Preparedness

Have the right supplies on hand for first aid, traumas and emergencies.

You're an outdoors person, and if you are so is your spouse, your kids, as well as your friends. Cuts,scrapes and even worse happen all the time. Are you prepared, and I mean truly prepared if someone gets hurt? We recommend that everyone take a First Aid class at least every couple of years simply because like so many skills, providing first aid is a perishable skill. Get some training and stay trained. Now what? After you've taken the time to get the training, it is of little or no use if you do not have the supplies on hand to deal with an emergency. We carry the best in comprehensive first aid kits, survival supplies and medical kits for both home and the workplace as well as when you are "on the go", for storage in either your vehicle or in a backpack. Whether for those near and dear to you or a fellow person in need, with the kits and supplies we offer, you will always be prepared to deal with injuries and traumas when an emergency strikes. And what about "emergency rations" to keep in your vehicle? Sure, when you hit the road there's always the stop at the convenience store or the supermarket on the way out of town, but is that really being prepared? No, it isn't. That's for right then and there, a snack, not an emergency food supply. Emergency preparedness means being ready for that "What if?" like getting stuck in a blizzard or a breakdown on a lonely and deserted country road. We at Mayflower have a solution with our Mayday Emergency Food Bars that have a five year shelf life and are actually good for you and your family. You can store these right in your vehicle with the emergency car kit or 72 Hour Kit and be truly prepared for all those unpleasant surprises that life throws at you.

Emergency Rations
Emergency Rations
Be ready for whatever life throws at you with nutritional, tasty food rations that most energy bars can't begin to match. Keep a few in the car for a quick "meal" on the go when time is tight. Have plenty in the pantry for the unexpected natural disaster that takes out the power.
Water Filtration and Storage
Water Filtration and Storage
Need pure water but all that is available is muddy and full of viruses and other gut-wrenching pathogens? Whether "packing in" or "bugging out" or your municipal water is contaminated, we have the solutions! Here is the complete selection of the "World's Best" water filtration equipment, the Katadyn line of water filtration devices. Don't wait! We have them in stock now!
Light, Heat and Cooking
Light, Heat and Cooking
Designed for camping and backpacking, these stoves are portable and convenient for disaster or emergency situations. Having a stove and plenty of fuel allows you to cook your food and can provide some heat. Be sure to have a well ventilated area when using stoves with open flame.
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.
  




The biggest drawback to the country life is the more you do it yourself, the more you seem to do to yourself.


When weather is treacherous or if you are on a remote ranch, it may be hours before medical care is available. The use of a comprehensive trauma kit may make a significant difference in the treatment required when professional care is acquired. The First Aid kit is not intended as a substitute for professional care. In addition to the kits we offer we 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, but be sure to call poison control FIRST as the wrong treatment complicates the condition; Cough syrup, Pepto Bismol, antacids, Epsom's Salts, Ben-Gay, antibiotic ointments and Silva dine for burns (have extra when you are learning to use your wood burning cook stove). In addition to first aid, we offer other emergency food supplies and survival supplies which can be easily added to a back pack for outdoor preparedness or conveniently kept in your vehicle in case of an accident, breakdown or inclement weather conditions.
The Humless Roadrunner is a silent, clean, safe, and ultra-portable lithium based generator. The Humless Roadrunner can be charged from a regular AC wall outlet, or it can capture and store energy from solar panels, a hand crank, windmill, DC car outlet, or almost any other 12VDC power source.
The Humless Roadrunner stores the captured power in a state of the art Lithium Battery pack to be taken with you and used whenever or where ever you might need it.
