"Be Ready Hawaii" opens in waipio. Pretty cool, yeah, i'll go to check them out, but if you ask me, we already have a prepper store called Costco. ;D

Does anyone know where the location is? Never had a map or anything. Thinking of maybe checking it out on the way home.

1388 moaniani street. I think it's off below tony group autoplex past Kaiser clinic.

Awesome. Now I can look at the stuff before I buy, which I'm a huge fan of!

omg I actually wanted to get those water bricks!! I'm sooo getting them.
If you need these, you must be a domestic terrorist. Shame on you! Think of the children!
-
bricks made of children?
-
I checked them out the other day, they have some awesome stuff. Some of the prices are a little higher than I hoped for, but that was expected. Service was very good, but there was only one guy manning the store when I went. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. Check 'em out!

I'd appreciate if they moved closer. lol.

Luckily I have a lot of dogs great for both protection and food! :wtf:

Does your dog have a helmet you they need protection too from the brass bouncing off their heads

Those water storage solutions look pretty good. As someone who does not have any bath tubs, I may have to look into that.
-
I checked them out the other day. I didn't get to look around much but they have those food-grade water containers in various sizes. I think I remember reading a post on here about how hard it was to find these on island so just FYI. They also had an electric, solar-powered alternative to generators which seemed impressive but the technical jargon flew right over my head, haha.

Might pick up some of the Aqua Pails.

Allot of the stuffs there are overpriced. You can put together your own emergency kit and essentials at Costco for way less.

Some of their prices are high, but it varies I think. I gotta say, they do seem to emphasize quality and actually useful products. Not just cheap, gimmicky crap that so many online stores carry or that we see in ready-made prep kits.
Examples:
They carry a variety of BPA-free, gasketed food storage containers. From larger 7+ gallon sizes (marketed for pet foods, safe for humans), to convenient 1 gal and smaller clear containers. I've been looking everywhere for these squared plastic pete bottles in larger sizes, so that's awesome. Perfect to store contents of #10 can foods (LDS Cannery, Mountain House, or the brand they carry, Thrive).
Solar options. The carry panels and batteries in store! Probably way over priced, but cool nontheless. They also have some neat little solar lights you can hang.
They have the "Cansolidator" which is pretty nice for pantry organization. Again, a little pricey, but not much more than you'd pay if bought online considering shipping.
Regarding water storage, I'd hunt for 55 gal food grade drums on Craigslist. I've seen them for $15-20. The water bricks are pretty dang cool.. the price tag is holding me up on that. Hope to get them eventually though.
