A selfish niche

The lesson on niches was certainly inspiring! My niche is based on a selfish need to survive. We experienced the tornado that ripped thru Beaver Co., PA in 1985. Watched that "black skyscraper" march by w/in a half-mile of our small farm, ruining the livelihoods of our neighbors. It was definitely a Wylie Coyote moment.

I'm focused on building a site that offers quality, useful emergency items at reasonable prices. You've seen those kits in your local drug store- clunky plastic boxes that crack in cold weather. Or contain little more than a few Band-Aids and couple packets of Sanka.

I'd also like to offer tips based on personal knowledge of weather-related issues, specific needs of elderly, pets, and links to organizations like FEMA and the Boy Scouts.

There's another nee to be filled- Emergency food kits that are gluten-free and SOY-free. (I have allergies.) Gluten-free? Sure they're out there. Soy-free? Practically non-existent. The search continues.

Basically, my goal is to offer useful tools for comfort and a little peace of mind during those weather-related scary times. And I know for sure that WA is the foundation I need to achieve it! TN
