Article – Preparedness Month? Bah, Humbug. Happy Paratus Day! What’s on Sale

For your perusal:

WESTERN MONTANA – So, September is National Preparedness Month. After Hurricane Irma blew through, does anyone feel like Americans are more prepared since “preparedness” got its own month?

Maybe it’s time for our own holiday. That will get people’s bloody attention.

Happy Paratus Day!

It’s like Christmas for the prepared individual and family.

That’s right, kids….it’s been a whole year since the last Paratus holiday. The backpack is by the main egress point in the hopes that the elite Paratus Long-Range Recon Gift Squad will deliver goodies to deserving survivalists like myself.

It’s your holiday, guys….enjoy the heck out of it.

  1. It must be Paratus day, saw a story your area was looking at a winter storm warning the other day. For Paratus day as a gift to myself I’m going camping this weekend.

  2. Happy Paramus Day! I’m off to search for bargains to fill my own backpack as the spouse considers my preps ridiculous!

    Have great day!

  3. Personally, I’m going to wait until “Black Monday” to purchase my Paratus gifts. By then I’m sure we can be expecting big discounts from all retailers that overstocked for the big day. Hopefully the apocalypse won’t be this weekend…

  4. I’m getting myself a Paratus gift today – I’m picking up a couple of rabbits. Hopefully they will reproduce better than the last rabbits I had!

  5. Happy Paratus, Commander! We’ve been celebrating it since you kicked it off the first year. Lots of fun. Here’s the haul…

    For the special lady…
    Warfighter #24 Southwest Beef and Black Beans MRE
    Warfighter #15 Mexican Style Chicken Stew MRE
    Rite in the Rain All Weather pen and 3×5 spiral notebook
    Nite Ize DoohicKey Key Tool

    For me (unapologetically)…
    Fiskars 29″ Machete Axe
    ClotIt Veterinary Blood Stopping Powder by Thouckmor
    Wavian 5-gallon jerry can

    Note – those MRE meals are the best-tasting ones I’ve found so far. They’re the full deal with entree, side dish, cracker, pretzels or nuts, cheese, candy, salt, black and red peppers, matches, heater, napkins, gum, and, if you’re lucky, hot sauce. They’re absolutely packed with fun little extras which, to me, justify the $16+ cost of each one. Sopacko, Ameriqual, and Wornick Company are the manufacturers/packagers of the best quality ones I’ve found. I would welcome any feedback from you on other solid quality offerings or brands.

    Enjoy! We’ll be in the woods with fire, guns, and beer.

    • $16?!? Yow! Last time I bought MREs (granted, it was years ago) I paid $5 at the Navy PX. Chicken Tettrazinni, I believe. Dammit, now I’m hungry for beef ‘n black bean stuff.
