<< previous page 1 next page>> written by Phil Washington Thermal blankets were originally developed by NASA for the country’s space program in 1964. Also known as space, emergency, or mylar blankets, they were made from a relatively thin sheet of plastic with a metallic coat used for reflecting back heat. Nowadays, thermal blankets are also used for camping and other outdoor activities. written by Phil Washington While there are more luxurious and spacious kinds of tents available in the market, emergency tube tents tend to be the favorite of campers and other outdoor enthusiasts because of their quick, no-hassle setup. written by Eric Holm This article is about emergency preparedness and the need to get a basic emergency kit in case of emergency. written by Eric R Holm When a disaster happens, failing to prepare is preparing to fail. Those that are prepared in advance with the correct supplies and action plan will inevitably be in a better position than those that do not. You should develop a unique action plan for each place that you and members of your family visit; this includes work, school, the gym and the homes of other members of your family. written by Amy Letitia It seems that recent times have given us so many reminders that we should all have at least the basic emergency and safety supplies in our homes and cars in the unfortunate event that we should ever need them. We’ve seen the disasters on television for some time now – major earthquakes, 9/11, tsunamis, hurricanes. It’s sad but true that there are not only “Acts of God” but also acts of man that can leave us isolated and waiting for help to arrive. In many cases, with just the most basic assortment of emergency and safety supplies though, the waiting can be manageable and in some cases the difference between life and death. But those reminders and that knowledge alone is not enough – it’s taking action now and getting your emergency and safety supplies together before you actually need them that could make a difference.
