...and you know ALL about Y2K and how it's going to affect your computer.
But what about your house? Your Car? Or even your VCR?  What if the grocery
stores are shut down for a few days or the electricity goes out for a week?
What would you do then?

These are the things you really need to know about.  Who CARES if your
computer goes down?  I'm sure you'll back-up...that's all you're going to
hear about for weeks before it happens and no-ones going to forget that, and
unless you're running an information-intensive business it's not going to
matter one bit compared to being able to use your kitchen faucet.

Even if the Y2K bug just doesn't happen, do YOU know what to do in an
emergency that isn't computer related?  Nature is doing weird things these
days...Ice storms and blizzards crippling whole regions of Canada,
Earthquakes crippling whole cities, Volcanoes swallowing whole countries.
What would YOU do if basic services were interrupted for even a short time?

I am selling a video that can help you prepare yourself. The video will walk
you through an average suburban house and show you how to prepare your home
and family for the Year 2000.  It will cover such subjects as food and
water, storage, heat and light, health and safety evaluating and preparing
appliances and electronic equipment, etc.  The video will outline
appropriate measures given the loss of essential services (electrical,
water, sewer, etc.) for various periods of time.  The video also includes  a
booklet that outlines details for personal and family planning and provides
information relating to sources of needed equipment and resources (i.e.
freeze-dried and bulk foods, solar ovens and showers, water storage
containers, etc.). The goal is not to be alarmists, as we believe our
existing infrastructure, if not preserved, will be repaired and revitalized.
Our goal, rather, is to encourage people to make contingency plans should
there be a lapse in infrastructure services including temporary loss of
power, water and food distribution, heat and lighting, etc.

The Video is 58 minutes long and is only $19.99US  ($29.99 Canadian) plus
$3.00US ($5 Canadian) Shipping and Handling.  14 Day money-back guarantee.
Shipping and handling not refundable.
If sending a cheque allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery.
