About Us

For over twenty years we have been on a path of finding products that would self sustain a person for periods of time while lessening the need for dependency on conventional consumerism and still be able to function in a modern world. We have always believed that striving for a more sovereign lifestyle would be more empowering than being reliant on fickle economic driven markets. Call it the pioneer spirit, but it brings about a greater sense of well being knowing that you can take care of yourself and your family in this ever changing world no matter what comes your way. We believe in having basic preparations for everyday living as you would have for insurance on your house or car. In our search to find self sufficient products for ourselves, we decided to offer our customers what we use for ourselves. Call it our insurance policy for the future. Welcome to our store and we hope that you feel better when you shop with a conscience!

Our Policy

We strive to carry a wide variety of quality products for our customers with a simple approach. We also want to keep our customers shopping experience simple and efficient without burdensome text and confusing options. If you're looking for a special item that you don't see, or you want a brand that we don't carry, just ask, chances are that we may be able to special order it. If you have a product that you would like to see us carry, let us know, we're internet shoppers too! We strive to be competitive and offer some of the best deals on the internet. We hope to continue offering these benefits to our customers and are constantly finding ways to pass on savings. Please check back with us often as we constantly have changing specials. . We don't sell anything that we wouldn't use for ourselves. Enjoy our store!
