What are the Chances You will Ever Need Survival Gear?

What are the Chances You will Ever Need Survival Gear?

February 23, 2021

I just had the most interesting conversation with one of my largest distributors. We were discussing sales of one of his biggest selling items, and he made the comment that “People buy it but will probably never need it”... 


I was STUNNED… I was stunned by both the fact this product has uses far beyond an end of the world scenario, but also by the fact he would sell a product he did not feel his customers would ever really need. 


You can be ASSURED that Black Cock Survival will NEVER sell an item in our store that we do not believe you will not only need, but will be 100% necessary to your survival should the need arise. I am even writing that in BOLD so you do not miss that statement. 


It really does not matter what the product in question was really, but for the sake of full disclosure it was a water purification device. He believed that during a survival situation, finding water would be easier than the need for a personal filter. He is dead wrong. 




As we have seen in very recent weeks, the people of the great state of Texas have been dealing with electric and water issues from ice storms we have not seen in 120 years. It takes no imagination to realize things could have gone so much worse than they did for Texans, and they got pretty bad.

Even a state as rugged as Texas suffered under multiple feet of snow and ice, and loss of electrical power to 4.5 Million people. Temperatures were below 20 degrees for much of Texas for several days in a row. This caused damage that will reach much further than the days below freezing. 


Preparing for events like this is a central part of what survival planning is for. The misconception that “survival prepping” is all about Armageddon is laughable. If you struggle to survive during a week-long freeze, what chance do you have of surviving a major disaster, or a Nuclear Winter?  


We have gone over this before, but it bears repeating. You need to prepare your Air, Shelter, Water and Food in that order if you want to be seriously hard to kill. First Aid is lower on the list but is not to be forgotten. 


You will find the answer to all of these things on our pages more and more in the coming weeks and months. New partnerships are coming that will help our customers be very comfortable they are prepared correctly. 


For now, get the basics out of the way. Make a good foundation to build on. We will send you for FREE an excellent book on what you should be storing, and how to store it. Contact us at wayneraltman@thebccompanies.com to get a list of survival items and tell us how we can better serve you.
