Emergency responses and packing your car for the “what if” situation

recon sleeping bagsSeveral years ago there was a national tragedy here in Pennsylvania where a simple snow storm caught too many people on a major highway that emergency responders were not able to get to all of them.  There were so many cars and so much snow on the ground that plowing was impossible.  People sat in their cars waiting for help as the snow piled deeper and deeper.  Something like this caught everyone off guard and there were politcal fallout from it, but, the real problem was nobody had any backup plan for this and they should have.

I’m a big fan of keeping emergency survival blankets in my car because people don’t realize that sitting in a car and idling is only going to give  you about 8-12hrs of heat and energy and then you will have lost your heat source.  Something  like the recon sleeping bags  like the recon 2 are all you need for a basic SHTF car break down where you might be better off using that an waiting for help rather than depend on your car heater keeping you warm.   The Recon 2 is so small that it hardly takes up any room  in  your trunk and is a great investment.

More feedback about the Recon sleeping bags

It’s nice to see so many people walk into our tactical store and bring in their kids.   We always have a certain element of the doomsday people that are stockpiling guns and ammo for an impending disaster and although we make money off of them, it’s not a very good way of using survival tools and tactical gear.   The Boy Scout moto of “being prepared” is something that more people in our society should be thinking about.  The more our society becomes technologically dependent the harder it will be for people to survival mentally and physically if they live in urban environments.   Rechargeable flashlights, long term storage food and things like emergency blankets are things that smart people keep around.

The older I get the more I think about the “what ifs” because I have a family that would be dependent on me if something happened.   Keeping an emergency blanket or the recon sleeping bags in a vehicle for long term car breakdowns or bug out situations is something I have done on long car trips.   In a nightmare situation where an emergency evacuation of  a city while being on vacation or business is something that has occurred.   I have a few friends that were traveling to Japan and were luckily prepared to be stuck in an airport and ride out the delays in getting a plane out of the Country.

Diversifying our product line with cool stuff

I didn’t think about it too much when I thought of the subject title for this blog post after doing some playing around with the Recon Sleeping bags.   We sell a ton of clothing and tactical apparel to military contractors and security forces but there are some products that they have asked for that we did not carry.   Some of the outdoors type of products line the rain gear and camping type things are products we may bring in stock in the near future but right now we gotta sell what people are asking for now.   The vast majority of our next day air shipping orders are for military customers that have been quickly deployed and usually less than 3 days notice.

Special Forces are being used more and more around the world and that’s not going to stop anytime soon.  We’ve add the Recon Sleeping bags to our product line to fill in the holes in our inventory that customers are looking for.   Sleeping bags have come a long way and like every good product, it usually needs to be compact and lightweight.  You may want to even consider leaving something like  this in a car or vehicle for emergency or use them for camping.  The Recon 2 sleeping bag is pretty much considered to be the Jungle Sleeping bag while the Recon 5 is your coldest weather.  I saw a recent critical review of the Recon 4 online and stated that it wasn’t good for cold weather but somebody forget to mention there is a Recon 5, oops.
