Vehicle Preparedness
Here at Ben Meadows, we are all about having the right equipment at the right time. This philosophy goes a long way when it comes to being prepared for unexpected events. In the spirit of preparedness, we've put together a list of items you can store in your vehicle. These are the items that can help you deal with an accident, a break down, a snow storm, an injury or a problem that requires your MacGyver-like skills and a few helpful supplies. Here is a list of basic items for vehicle preparedness for an emergency:
And...last but not least, one of the best tools to keep in your vehicle is the Ben Meadows Catalog. You never know when you'll need hard to find products and professional product support. Request a free copy of our current catalog! If you have any items you think would be a good addition to our list, email them to editor@bendeadows.com and we will compile them to share in next month's issue.
Product Spotlight GERBER® Sport Utility Survival Kit
From fixing on-the-road repairs to digging yourself out of a giant mud bog, this GERBER® Sport Utility Survival Kit has everything you need to get yourself out of a bind.
Last month there was a little bit of poetry in The Natural Resource and this seems to have struck a chord with more than a few of you. Outdoor Pros are known for being a rugged bunch so some might think a little bit of free verse or a haiku wouldn't be of much interest.
We know better.
In fact, we have proof. Some of you sent in some poems of your own. Here are some of our favorites:
Esther from California wrote:
By the shores of Rock River By the shining Big Sea Water Stood the headquarters of Ben Meadows Legacy of the chief, Ben himself Dark behind it rose the forest, Rose the firs with cones upon them, Ben's inspiration for its founding, And reason for its continuance, Beat the clear and sunny water, Beat the shining Big Sea Water
And Joe from Kansas sent this in:
There's this company called Ben Meadows. They employ a bunch of great fellows. When Autumn is near, They will get you your gear And lot of other great products any time of year.
Carl (also from California) penned this classic:
There once was a Company, Ben Meadows, Who strived to equip all the Fellows. With Gear for Out Doors, And Equipment for Chores, Tis the Goal of your friend, Ben Meadows.
We want to thank everyone for taking the time to write a poem and send it to us. Keep it up. Who knows – maybe you'll see a Ben Meadows poetry anthology in our catalog soon. It'll be printed on "Rite–in–the–Rain"® paper, of course!
