Supplying the Right Equipment for Critical Missions 

Search and Rescue organizations often operate in environments where access to power, clean water, shelter, and communication tools is limited. Whether you’re a responder stocking ready bag or a base commander supplying coordination centre, we offer high-quality, field-tested gear that meets these exact needs. This catalog includes: 

• Meals, Ready-to-Eat: These self-contained, high-calorie food packets are specifically designed to provide quick, nutritious, hot meals in the field, without the need for cooking facilities or extensive preparation.  

• Compact Food Rations: Long-lasting and able to withstand extreme conditions, these bars provide three days’ worth of calories per pack – ideal for ready bags or extended deployments. 

• Water Filtration and Purification solutions: ensuring that potable water is always available, no matter the location. 

• Scalable First Aid Kits: From portable personal kits to large-scale trauma stations, our medical kits are designed in compliance with provincial and federal guidelines and are suitable for both high-risk environments and remote operations with limited access to advanced care. 

• Shelter and Warming Solutions: From mylar blankets and bivy sacks to hand warmers and emergency ponchos, we provide portable gear that keeps responders safe from the elements. 

• Lighting and Communication devices: In low-visibility or night-time conditions, visibility and communication are paramount. We stock headlamps, flashlights, light sticks, radios, and whistles to keep teams connected and operational. 

• Vehicle Emergency Kits: Many SAR operations require travel into isolated regions. Our vehicle kits help teams stay safe during unexpected breakdowns or delays in harsh environments. 

• Portable Sanitation and Hygiene facilities: An oft overlooked component of emergency preparedness, we supply portable toilets and personal hygiene supplies that are ideal for base command.  

Building Resilience in the SAR Community 

We understand that SAR organizations – particularly volunteer or hybrid units – operate under tight budgets and rely on community support. Through our Employee Purchasing Program, we offer discounts to a wide range of professionals and volunteers, not only as a token of gratitude for the invaluable services they provide, but to facilitate individual resilience and the peace-of-mind that comes with knowing their families and homes are prepared, so staff are better equipped to serve their communities in times of crisis.  

A Trusted Ally in the Field 

For Search and Rescue organizations, success depends on preparation, coordination, and having the right tools at the right time. We bring all of these elements together with high-quality products, expert support, and flexible solutions that align with real-world demands. Whether responding to a missing hiker, local avalanche or a national emergency, SAR teams can rely on us to help them operate at their highest potential.
