Prize descriptions

Brumpy Pump

The Brumpy S1 Pump,

• Can operate off any kind of compressor – electric, gas, diesel, wind, solar or human powered (eg bike).
• Water depth is and remains over 1/3 of the total vertical lift. The deeper you can submerse the pump in water, the more it will deliver. Water level self-regulates by virtue of the pump’s design and operating principle.
• Delivery rate can be as much as 8000L/hr, depending on the water source, submersion in water, lift above the water, air supply and piping size.
• Vertical lift up to 100m (300ft) is no problem with a regular 5 to 15cfm off-the-shelf compressor. If the lift is higher, please contact us to discuss.
• Submersion in water should be no more than around 65m (190ft) if using a regular 130psi compressor.

Survival Stores Downloadable App

From Safe Haven Direct.

For government and large corporations preparedness means developing Continuity of Operations plans (COOP) that reduce the consequences of a disaster to acceptable levels. The developer of Survival Stores does this for the State of Washington.

Personal preparedness is essentially the same. We develop plans, buy and organize supplies, train ourselves to be more self sufficient than we currently are so that we too can reduce the consequences of a disaster to a more acceptable level. This is a form of COOP planning, but done for a family unit or small group. You could call this Group COOP (GCOOP).

We have the following goals in mind when developing our GCOOP plan.

• Ensure that we are able to continue doing things that are vitally important
• Protect our homes, assets, resources and each other
• Preserve our vital records
• Minimize the occurrence of injury, sickness or loss of life
• Practice our plans so that we have confidence the plans are workable
• Manage our preparedness investment so that it is ready when we need it

Survival Stores is your tool for preparedness!
