Week 13--Free Ghee, MREs, Green Coffee, & Goal Zero Guide 10 Kits!!

My resident bean counter is kicking me but I'm feeling quite thankful this week for the bounty of my blessed life. Many reasons to be thankful to God and I am doing my best to generously share with our friends and customers.

Week 13 of our ongoing Repel the Chaos program is kind of crazy, I will admit. This is an easily achievable ladder of club member incentive giveaways that will help you get squared away fast for the times ahead.

Our November 19-25 Offer for Safecastle Buyers Club Members:

Members who make any purchase totaling at least ...
- $150 will receive a free case of Ghee (clarified butter)
- $450 will receive the Ghee PLUS a case of Sopakco MREs
- $990 will receive the Ghee AND the MRES AND a free case of Green Coffee Beans
- $1500 will receive the Ghee, MRES, Coffee, AND a Goal Zero Guide 10 Plus Adventure Kit

That's over $550 worth of great, free preps thrown in on a member purchase of $1500 or more, on top of any regular member discounts, sale prices, Royalty Rewards rebate, and our normal free shipping!
 

No coupon codes required--qualified member purchases automatically receive the goodies in our back-office fulfillment process. Previously issued incentive awards such as Royalty Rewards gift certificates that are used do not count toward the required minimum purchase for this offer. Other discounts, such as MH dealer price-matching do not qualify for this offer.

One weekly incentive package per member. If available supplies for a specified incentive reward are depleted before the end of the incentive period, an equivalent incentive will be offered instead. (Speaking about incentive rewards, note that our Royalty Rewards program for Mountain House can case purchases remains in effect, further multiplying your potential bounty.)

Storage Food is Flying Off the Shelves ... Backorders at Various Factories Expected

Consider this a public service announcement and fair warning ...

Such high volumes of storage food orders are being placed to food suppliers over the last week to two weeks that I am pretty sure we're going into another period when storage foods are going to be backordered at the factory. If you recall last year, that can go as long as 5-6 months in no time at all.

Why now? You'd have to poll the buyers to be nail it down, but I suspect any or all of these events are being considered as motivation (I doubt that I need to explain more):  the Hurricane Sandy aftermath, the election, the fiscal cliff, an erupting war in the Middle East.

Stay safe.

Remember Post-Katrina? Sandy May Also Bring a Huge Prepping Surge

Those of you prepping several years ago in the Hurricane Katrina era may or may not recall how prepping supplies and emergency storage foods went totally out of stock for several months afterward.

FEMA bought everything they could find after Katrina and shipped it all down to the Gulf Coast (and a lot of it went to waste, never to be distributed). No one else could lay hands on storage food or water filters, etc. for weeks and months afterwards.

Then when suppliers did start to get product back out to retailers in volume, the whole prepping industry went into overdrive because the population at large had gotten a wake-up jolt and bought everything in sight as it did come back onto the market--particularly MREs and freeze-dried foods. That subsequent demand surge lasted well over a year and customers were having to wait on average around 6-8 weeks for their orders to deliver during that period.

This post-Sandy situation is beginning to remind me of how things went down in 2005. There are folks still waiting desperately for help. People who are hungry are begging for food. The media is slowly finding the tragic angles. It's getting to be a political issue and fingers are being pointed back and forth.

I don't get the feeling this is of the same scale in terms of human suffering as what Katrina was, so FEMA is probably not going to lay waste to all available inventories of food and preps as they did seven years ago. But what I am beginning to get a sense of is that this is again going to be awakening another large segment of the population out there about how important it is that they take care of their own households before disaster strikes, since clearly you do not want to be waiting for the cavalry to come in to rescue you and yours.

Spurning the Political Macaronics

Two months yet before the big election. Yep--it's very, very important to vote well. But it's a nasty ride getting there.

This old warrior needs no further input, thank you, to help me decide who gets my vote. Therefore, in an effort to retain some sense of sanity and rational perspective, my objective going forward is to insulate myself from the approaching high point of the political cycle that marinates the passive populace in toxicity.

Donning the full-body suit, mask, rubber boots, gloves, ear plugs ... no it still won't quite be enough. But by the grace of God, I trust I will come through.

I don't really know that it's going to matter much either way at this point who wins the presidency or the Congress. We're darn near at the bottom of the log chute. But one more vote for old time's sake is the least we can contribute, no?

Just hold fast to your values and act your conscience, my friends. See you on the other side.
