The Boston Marathon bombings that occurred yesterday were a tragic reminder of our lack of control over the future. It came without warning, without conscious fear, and destroyed lives. This disaster, however, also proved something else. It proved that humanity is good.

It might not be your initial reaction to an attack of this magnitude, to think of the goodness in people rather than the bad. However, in every image, video or article you read, those helping hands that assisted the injured were present and acted without hesitation.

The compassion and aid we saw didn’t just come from medical teams or fire fighters or police officers. It also came from ordinary people, prompted to do extraordinary things to save a stranger in need. Marathon runners crossed the finish line and kept going, heading straight for the hospital to give blood for the injured. The hospitals were given so much blood by these volunteers that they actually started refusing donations. Although inexperienced and frightened, civilians assisted medical teams however they could, giving the clothes off their backs for bandages and belts for tourniquets.

.

These good people risked their lives to help strangers, rushing into debris and smoke, unsure if another bomb would detonate where they stood. They carried wounded to safety and comforted those in pain. Residents of Boston opened their homes, giving people a place to sleep without worry. Restaurants gave away free meals.

Through all of this we can see that the strength and value of these helping hands outweighs the bad. We can find some inspiration in our appreciation of these good people. We can believe in humanity and survive whatever disasters we may face, knowing we have people like them by our side.

A quote by the Children’s TV host Fred Rogers (Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood) has been circulating the internet for the past two days spreading hope in light of the Boston tragedy:

      “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” To this day, especially in times of “disaster,” I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.” – Fred Rogers

The helpers we saw aid the Boston bombing victims were brave, good individuals who did the right thing in the midst of a disaster. As long as there are people like them in the world, we will never lose hope for the future of humanity. In a crisis, let us all strive to be helpers.

LifeStraw is the most advanced personal filter available today, and gained international recognition after being awarded “Best Invention of the Year” in 2005. This innovative design surpasses EPA guidelines, setting its own standard for water filtration.

In an emergency of any kind, the most important thing is to stay hydrated without risking infection through contaminated water sources. The LifeStraw is easy to bring along, weighing under 2 ounces and featuring a convenient lanyard. It removes 99.9999% of waterborne bacteria and 99.9% of waterborne protozoan parasites, without containing any harmful chemicals, BPAs or batteries.

Drinking harmful and unclean water is a big mistake often made by people affected by a disaster. Both natural and man-made crises often contaminate our water sources, and bad water may spill straight from our faucet into our glass. The threats of contaminated water are often unseen, making them even more dangerous. With the LifeStraw, you can rest easy and drink up, knowing you’ve filtered out virtually all waterborne bacteria and protozoans.

Natural water sources are plentiful around the world, and an easy, constant water supply to use in an emergency. Take advantage of these sources with the LifeStraw, and filter down to 0.2 microns for 264 gallons of water straight from any natural source.

LifeStraw has been utilized in many countries to help reach the UN’s Millennium Development Goals for attaining clean and safe drinking water worldwide. This amazing invention is the perfect solution for hydrating your survival. Food and water are two essentials we can’t live without, and are at the very top of our list of survival necessities. LifeStraw will do more than filter out the bad and pour in the good, it will provide peace and sharpness of mind, even in the harshest conditions.

The recent Cyprus bank bailout sent a message to the world that putting money in the bank isn’t as safe and secure as we hoped. The situation is this: due to high demands of a bailout by the European Union, Cyprus banks have been seized and depositors with more than €100,000 are likely to lose up to 60% of their money. In addition, banks have set a 300 euro a day withdrawal limit, keeping depositors from taking their money and running.

Many may feel a false sense of security due to the distance between our countries, along with our financial system’s obvious differences, but the truth is anything can happen. Often, historically speaking, when we see a man-made disaster occurs somewhere in the world, it eventually comes our way. The concept of our government seizing bank deposits and taking our hard-earned cash for a bailout may seem far-fetched, but in reality this situation could happen to us.

Being prepared for a financial crisis is vital. Store some cash at home under your own protection. Just like food and water, money is a survival reserve that is best kept where you can see it.

Storing our long-term food is even safer than storing money in the bank. Keeping reserves close by for emergencies is the best way to secure your survival in the future, with essentials you can’t live without. Our food is high-quality, great tasting and easy to store with a 25 year shelf life. You don’t have to worry about economic debacles like inflation, an increase in food prices or bank seizure.

We can’t know when or why a financial disaster like this one may occur, and once it happens, it is too late and there is nothing you can do. Prepare ahead of time for emergencies like these with long-term food and water, along with a reserve of cash to keep close in hard times. Don’t make the mistake of believing this couldn’t happen to you; be ready for anything.

Keeping your family safe and your future secure, relies upon the basics you need in order to survive: food and water. The trouble with the can, is that underlying concerns are frequently overlooked, but still just as serious. Often times, cans come with harmful BPAs and chemicals, and are prone to rust.

Over the years, the inner layer of a can may seep into the food, spoiling the flavor and giving it a chemical taste. Our entree and breakfast pouches do not pose these risks whatsoever, and are able to lock in flavor for 25 years. Keep your family safe from these hazards, and steer clear of cans.

Another drawback of cans is the inconvenience. They can be difficult to store, and require shelving. Our buckets feature a lock-in stacking capability, to provide easy and and compact storage, without the need for shelves.

With 10-50 servings inside each can,  you have only a matter of days to consume all of those servings, and will be stuck eating the same thing until it’s gone bad. Unless you have a very very large family, this leads to tons of wasted food, and a very bored pallet.

The pouches we sell contain only 4 servings each, giving you way more options and freedom. Dry leftovers last for at least 1 week after opening, so you have time to finish those few remaining servings- no need to eat them all at once.

The design of our food and packaging keeps innovation in mind, taking advantage of modern-day tools and materials that can enhance your food supply, in addition to providing only the best option out there for any family. Invest in this modern innovation today and enjoy all the perks Mylar has to offer, entering the future worry-free.

We prepare for all sorts of predictable natural disasters, and even man-made, but space-made disasters are less anticipated. Luckily, if you are ever faced with a meteor in the future, being prepared in any way is your best bet to survive well. Having long-term food and water, and a set emergency plan is a sure way to increase your odds in any disaster, expected or unexpected.

1. Emergency Plan: Regardless of the crisis at hand, have a plan to meet in a safe location in case of a disaster. Make evacuation plans if necessary, and stay calm. As convenient as it would be for a disaster to strike when your family is already together, that is unlikely.

2. Take Inventory of Your Emergency Goods: Gather your supplies, including food, water, survival gear and alternate heat and light sources, rationing the correct portions.

3. Be Safe: Stay inside where it is safe until hazards have been cleared. After an event like a meteor, tons of destruction will be waiting to injure unprepared victims. Buildings will become unsteady and may collapse, so be sure that your location is protected from potential threats. If not, move to a safer place.

Although an event like this is rare, it can still occur at any moment, and is often unpredicted. Preparing wisely for the future means understanding and identifying all threats, big or small, natural or unnatural and everything in between.

When preparing for the uncertain future, keep in mind it is just that- uncertain. The residents in Russia affected by this meteor had no warning whatsoever. Disasters can surprise you at any moment, so be ready. Long-term food and water will give you the energy you need to survive the unexpected. Take your survival into your own hands today, and invest in your future now.

Roads and highways closed early Friday evening, and some were even stuck in their cars along the Long Island Expressway overnight. The dangerous snow and ice combination led to terrible accidents and pedestrian injuries. Because of the lack of proper plowing, most roads were unable to provide travel for several days.

For some, the aftermath of the storm was the worst part. No electricity in the Northeastern most states in February was far from ideal, and thousands were forced into a survival scenario they hadn’t anticipated. Not to mention the roofs that collapsed under the immense pressure of 3 feet of snow and ice.

We worry about the economy, man-made disasters and doomsday, but it is vital never to underestimate the power of mother nature. Too many people make the mistake of not preparing for these scenarios. Winter weather can be unpredictable, merciless and deadly.

Just like with all storms, this one emptied store shelves fast and last-minute supplies were hard to come by. Minimize the damage by keeping a long-term food and water supply, along with survival kits and alternative heat when the power shuts off. Make an emergency plan with your family so you will know what to do when the storm hits home. Doing these things will not only make you more comfortable with less worry in a crisis, but they will help safeguard your survival. Take the future into your own hands and prepare now.

The truth is, in the last 3 decades natural disasters have greatly increased in number and danger, showing Mother Nature’s true colors. Each year natural disasters related to meteorological, hydrological and climate changes result in devastation and loss, stifling the economy and societal development. Just between 1980 and 2005, about 7500 disasters occurred world-wide, taking the lives of over 2 million while resulting in huge economic losses of about 1.2 trillion. 90 percent of these disasters were caused by weather related  hazards, or epidemics and insect infestations related to the planet’s environmental conditions.

Shedding some light on 3 likely disaster scenarios heading toward the U.S., we can try to better prepare for the extreme- hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.

1. 40-Mile Mud Slide: The prediction of a mega-mud slide off of Mount Rainer has been commonly discussed amongst geologists who are familiar with the danger this inactive volcano poses to Washington residents.

At 14,410-ft tall, Mount Rainier is impressive but also incredibly unstable, riddled with corroded rock and covered in a cubic mile of snow and ice . It is weakened from the inside by years of acidic magma, and has partially collapsed many times over the last 5600 years. In the last few years, the mountain has been more volatile than ever, causing frequent but mild mud slides and avalanches. If this event were to occur it could devastate over 150,000 lives and even more homes. The mudslide would occur quickly with little warning, rushing at 60 mph and resulting in 15 ft waves from the nearby Carbon and Puyallop rivers.

2. Massive Earthquake in Central US: When considering future earthquakes, most people think of California as the hot spot, however, studies show a lot of vulnerability in the Central U.S. for a bigger blow, the Mississippi River Valley in particular.

An ancient rift zone beneath Missouri has posed the threat of a devastating earthquake for years. And when this does occur, the results will be big and bad. Geologically speaking, the ground in California is better able to absorb shock waves than what you find in the Central U.S., which means the damage will travel faster and further. Back in the 1800s, this rift caused magnitude 8 quakes, but has been resting quietly since. Overdue for another shock, Mississippi Valley residents can expect an magnitude 7 earthquake in the near future, and the damage will go a long way for those unprepared.

3. Miami Wiped Out: Predictions for a mega hurricane in Florida have been rumored by many meteorologists and residents a like for years, realizing the high risk area and its daily hazards.

Starting with a category 5 hurricane in the Keys, this disaster would quickly spill into Florida’s Turkey Point nuclear power plant, resulting in hazardous radiation. The storm then heads for Miami, equipped with 15 foot surges and immense strength that could easily wipe away the highly populated beach city. This sort of disaster could be huge and cost many lives along with billions of dollars.

It is impossible to know when exactly any natural disaster of epic scale could occur and devastate the world as we know it. The only way you can truly secure your future survival is to plan ahead for the worst. Store long term food and water along with survival supplies and first aid. Regardless of where you are in the U.S., there are hidden hazards waiting to surface: be ready.
