Rocky Mountain Survival Introduces Custom Survival Kits

Monument, CO – Oct. 21, 2011 – One doesn’t have to live in a disaster prone area to be prepared for an emergency. A wide variety of generic emergency preparedness kits are available, but they lack essential items needed for specific situations. Chris Shettlesworth and Dan Rivera, co-owners of Rocky Mountain Survival, have addressed that problem with a line of tactical survival kits specially designed to keep users alive and well.
“These aren’t commercial survival kits,” said Shettlesworth. “They’re the most thought out, practical and thoroughly tested tactical survival kits available.”
Rocky Mountain Survival creates three levels of custom survival kits that can be used in emergencies. The stage 1 tactical survival kit is designed for wilderness survival and the stage 2 kit is an ideal bug out bag. The firm’s stage 3 kit is currently undergoing rigorous testing and be designed for those caught in a disaster. All are lightweight for easy transport. All kits have been extensively tested under exacting conditions, insuring they provide superior performance.
All kits are designed to accommodate additional food supplies and attachments can be added for extra pouches and storage. Users can personalize their survival kits with grooming needs, GPS units, batteries and a cell phone. Medication, a portable radio, glasses, animal and insect repellant, and sunscreen can be accommodated.
The stage 1 kit comes complete with a drop leg pouch that keeps it from interfering with packs, guns and accoutrements. The survival kit provides all the equipment necessary to address the need for food, water, shelter and first aid, along with a myriad of survival tools. The kit provides the needed items to start a fire, cook, purify water and obtain food. Contents also include tools for navigation, building a shelter and a military style flashlight to preserve night vision, along with the means to signal for help.
For those who need to vacate an area quickly, the stage 2 bug out kit contains all the tools and supplies found in the stage 1 kit, in addition to food and water, but without the drop leg bag. The comprehensive tactical kit also works well for outdoor enthusiasts and weighs just eight pounds.
Rocky Mountain Survival offers Wise brand survival foods that are tasty, lightweight and provide plenty of variety. Meals have a shelf life of up to 25 years, making them an ideal solution anywhere emergency rations may be needed. Multiple packages are available to serve a variable number of individuals. Food packets can be stored easily in the home, vehicles, boats, cabins or even at the office.
Knives serve a number of purposes in an emergency or disaster and the firm offers some of the most reliable on the market, along with a fireman’s survival axe. The quality blades are an integral part of any disaster or emergency preparedness kit. Depending on the selected knife, it can be used to cut rope, fashion or adapt clothing, build a shelter or split wood. Hobo knives containing eating utensils and a can opener are available and an essential part of any kit.
