M40 SURVIVAL KITS ON SALE NOW!


 

Obituaries - Foreword - The short excerpts shown below were obtained from a very brief Google search. These are just the ones that made headlines, and they are the tip of the iceberg. I post them here only to enforce the idea that a little preparation can prevent tragedy. If you learn anything from my site, I hope it's that basic preparedness is not expensive to purchase... it's not hard to attain... and it's not hard to learn. It's mostly common sense and a little planning... and it could save the lives of you and your family!
