We are the manufacturer!

receives the individual components and items that go into a
properly made Emergency and Survival Kit.
We source, test and select all of the items that go into a kit.
Only items that meet our quality and safety requirements make it into a kit.
Only items that meet our quality and safety requirements make it into a kit.
If we feel that an item is of good quality, but packaged in a way that might make it difficult to use,
then we will redesign a new packing method and repackage the item in a safe-to-use way.

How we operate:
We are constantly looking for interesting new items that could be a great addition to our SafeTkits.
In fact, we are being contacted by companies on an daily basis offering their products to us to get
them included in our kits.
If after an initial evaluation, a product has been found to be of interest, samples are being tested at
our location for functionality, ease of use, quality and performance capabilities.
Many products get rejected at this stage.

Products that pass these tests are then evaluated for cost and short/long term availability. Once a
product is approved for use in our kits, a test order will be placed and the product is introduced into
the lineup.

Quality:
Since we assemble all kits at our location, all products are being inspected several times.
This multi-layered inspection process ensures that only quality products make it into the Survival Kit
and to the customer.
- Incoming Inspection: Upon arrival of a shipment, all items are inspected visually for any signs
of damage, improper packaging and other signs of problems. - Shelf-Life Inspection: Items that are on the shelf and waiting for use in our kits are constantly
monitored for expiration dates such as food items for example - Repacking Inspections: Items that need to be repackaged (see explanations above
regarding product safety) are inspected once they have been removed from the existing
package, are then being repackaged and the final product is inspected again to ensure
quality. - Pull-Off Inspection: When a product is assembled, all items that go into the kit are being
pulled off the shelf individually and placed in a designated plastic bin. At this point, the item
is again inspected by the person that pulls it off the shelf. - Assembly Inspection: The final inspection is done by the person that assembles the kits.
Each item is looked at again before it is carefully placed in the kit.
This multi-layered inspection process ensures that only quality products make it into the Survival Kit
and to the customer.
Product Selection:
Here are a few products that we refuse to include in our 72-hour survival kits.
- crank or shake lights (read the whole explanation here)
- cigarette lighters (they can break and pose a hazard in themselves and once they get wet
they usually no longer work anyway)
As you can see, we do not simply look at a product and say 'oh, this is neat', but we evaluate the
ability of each product to function under extremely bad circumstances because that is what
Emergencies and Disasters are. They are situations that are out of the ordinary and which our kits
are designed for.
