History
The evolution of the "Life+Gear" concept was greatly accelerated by the Southeast Asian tsunami disaster of 2004 as well as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the 7.2 earthquake in Pakistan in 2005.
While working on a revolutionary "Personal Safety Device" (PSD), a hand-held six feature crank-powered emergency product, the founders of Life+Gear sought to make this exciting product quickly available to the disaster victims who were in great need of the benefits the device provided. While pursuing this objective, the founders were shocked to discover the dearth of intelligently and practically designed products geared toward disaster preparedness and emergency utility.
With FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) challenging Americans to determine whether or not they were prepared enough to survive 72 disaster hours before help was potentially available, it became painfully evident that the creation of such a state of preparedness was not only confusing, but difficult, time consuming and expensive to execute. The safety needs of people living by the sea can differ considerably from the needs of people living in the mountains, or in earthquake, or fire prone areas whether they be urban or not. While disaster preparedness information is readily disseminated by Government agencies, schools, and churches and emergency kits do exist or are created by resourceful individuals, a single comprehensive source of disaster preparedness solutions was not available until the launch in 2005 of "Life+Gear".

Life+Gear is a brand founded upon the principle factor of innovating everyday products so they may include features with life saving potential.
