Most SurvivalBlog readers are familiar with Ready Made Resources [1] – a reputable survival and self-reliance company serving the prepper community since 1996. They have been a SurvivalBlog advertiser for more than 20 years. With the recent cancer death of company Founder & CEO, Robert E. “Bob” Griswold, the company had lost its driving force. His widow is now looking for a buyer who can carry on the mission and the longstanding name of Ready Made Resources [2].
Ready Made Resources has an amazing deep inventory, a large mailing list, and drop-shipment agreements that are still active with dozens of suppliers / manufacturers. Their product line is diverse: Multiple brands of storage foods, multiple brands of water filtration systems, radio communications, night vision gear and accessories, medical gear, water pumps, water bricks, lightweight folding bicycles, knives, survival tools, gun accessories, self reliance / survival books, solar ovens, freeze dryers and dehydrators, pressure cookers, dry-canners, flashlights and weapons lights, Faraday cages, well pumps and buckets, backpacking/camping gear, body armor, binoculars and spotting scopes, photovoltaic panels and inverters,12VDC and other off-grid power gear, and a lot more.

[4]They’ve been operating Ready Made Resources [2] out of Tellico Plains, Tennessee. But the business could be operated almost anywhere in CONUS with dry storage space, two phone lines, a stable internet connection, and year-round road access for USPS, UPS, DHL, and FedEx. They are selling all of the business as an ongoing operation, except their warehouse/office building. So this includes their company name, domain names, logos, artwork, web designs, product photo library, custom-coded online shopping cart system, all of their on-hand inventory, mailing/marketing lists, packaging/labeling supplies, courseware, computers, business phone system, existing drop-shipping contracts, spare parts, promotional videos, their standing orders and back-orders, and most importantly their 30 years of accumulated “good will” that is based on their outstanding customer service and solid reputation with thousands of satisfied customers. The photos show just a small part of their inventory.
Do you know of anyone who is interested in operating an Internet/mail-order preparedness business? If so, potential buyers can e-mail me [5], and I will provide contact information.
This is a great opportunity to buy an existing “turn-key” business venture! – JWR
