Dan and Shannon Pointer have always been the family that people go to for food storage advice. As long-time food storage and healthy-living enthusiasts, the Pointers saw too many friends and acquaintances without food storage, despite the knowledge that they should have it. They finally figured they could help more people if they just opened a business and sold preparedness items themselves.

More than selling buckets and cans and wheat, the Pointers want to help people catch the vision of preparedness, to help them understand the importance of following counsel and being prepared. Through their store they want to teach classes, have samples and provide recipes so that people can understand how to use their food properly and prepare for the future.

Mention this article for introductory pricing during March 2008 on the following water drums and buckets:

55 gallon water drums for $30, 25 gallon water drums for $20. These are used drums that have held either sugar water or sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). The whole lid comes off and the smaller drum fits inside the larger one. They are compatible for use with a siphon pump.

Food grade white 5-gallon buckets with gasket lid for $3.25 with a bulk order of 60 or more buckets.
