The
evolution of the “Life+Gear” concept was greatly
accelerated by the Southeast Asian tsunami disaster of 2004
as well as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the 7.2 earthquake
in Pakistan in 2005.
While working on a revolutionary “Personal Safety Device” (PSD),
a hand-held six feature crank-powered emergency product, the founders of Life+Gear
sought to make this exciting product quickly available to the disaster victims
who were in great need of the benefits the device provided. While pursuing this
objective, the founders were shocked to discover the dearth of intelligently
and practically designed products geared toward disaster preparedness and emergency
utility.
With FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) challenging Americans to determine
whether or not they were prepared enough to survive 72 disaster hours before
help was potentially available, it became painfully evident that the creation
of such a state of preparedness was not only confusing, but difficult, time consuming
and expensive to execute. The safety needs of people living by the sea can differ
considerably from the needs of people living in the mountains, or in earthquake,
or fire prone areas whether they be urban or not. While disaster preparedness
information is readily disseminated by Government agencies, schools,
and churches and emergency kits do exist or are created by resourceful individuals,
a single comprehensive source of disaster preparedness solutions was not available
until the launch in 2005 of “Life+Gear”.
The Life+Gear line of emergency preparedness products has at its core a purpose
design/built special disaster backpack containing, in an organized and easily
accessible manner, a collection of critical base emergency products such as the
Life+Gear PSD, first-aid kit, hygiene set, special tools, signaling device, water
and food, as well as a thermal blanket. To this collection, the purchaser can
mix, match, or add a variety of different or other emergency products offered
by the company to suit his particular needs or geographic location.
At a time when disaster concerns abound, Life+Gear provides families and individuals
with the mental relief of knowing that they have quick access to their own emergency
kits. With Life+Gear’s extensive collection of products and personal emergency
backpacks for each member of the family, lifestyles are greatly enhanced with
the knowledge that should a disaster occur, the Life+Gear customer is as prepared
as one can be.
