You Can Now Shop Online With Us!

Many of our customers have asked for the convenience of shopping our site online, so here it is! Our shopping cart is up and running. It wasn't easy as we didn't want to use the usual cookie-cutter template used by other websites. We wanted to use our format which many of our customers indicate is easy to navigate and use. So we had to hire a specialist to modify a normal "shopping cart" system so we could integrate it into our format. You can still call us to place an order, or for your convenience, you can now purchase our products online, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We still do not use shipping charges based on your order total. We package and weigh each order and charge you the actual shipping cost through the U.S. Postal Service. We thank all our customers for their continued support, and hope this will make shopping with us easier.

We Teach Basic Survival Skills in Virginia!

We were retained to travel to the prestigious Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia to present a Basic Survival Skills course the weekend of March 29th. This is one of the last two all men's colleges left in the US. The lecture portions of our course were presented indoors in refined and elegant surroundings. We then took the students out into the woods on the 900 acre campus, which even included hiking trails, for hands-on instruction. We have been asked to consider presenting some extended programs this fall. For more photos please visit our Photo Album by clicking on the "Photo Album" button on the left side of the page.

We visit the Katadyn Factory in Switzerland!

In November 2007 during another visit to Switzerland, our Director, John McCann, and Sales Manager, Denise Vogler, were invited to visit the Katadyn Factory, where all of their water purification products are manufactured. They were surprised when they arrived, with Denise's mother and father, to see a welcome sign in the lobby for all of them. They meet with the Head of Marketing for Katadyn, Viola Frey, who started them off with coffee and espresso.

John was impressed with Viola's ability to speak English, as he had anticipated having Denise translate for him (his Swiss-German has gotten better but still isn't good). They examined every area of the factory, from making the actual ceramic filters, to the final assembly of the various products. Everyone was extremely friendly and willing to explain their function in the manufacturing process. The new Vario, which screws directly to a Nalgene bottle, as well as additional Katadyn products have been added to our Water Purification products section.
