Nuclear Fallout in Japan = U.S. Supply of IOSAT Sold Out.....

If you've been following the news lately, then you know that there has been a run on Potassium Iodide, the most popular brand being IOSAT.  But why?  Does is really help protect you from the fallout of radiation?  Should you bribe your prepper neighbor for half their supply?

Check out this great article from Scientific American.  It details why it may be useful for some as well as the negative aspects of using Potassium Iodide.  Great history lesson too!

SPOILER ALERT! If you are over 40 years age, save your money and buy something that you can really use (like a couple of Mountain House Meals or an Adventure Medical Kit from us!) :-)

Until next time.... have a SAFE and productive weekend!

  1. Do you know of a local source for preparedness items, such as 5-gallon food buckets?

  2. Firehouse subs has some food grade 5 gallon containers (with a rubber seal) for only $2.00 each. I grabbed a bunch last time I was there. The only problem I have found is that I can't get the pickle smell out (and believe me I have tried..... and tried.... and tried). :-)
