In 1969, Seattle engineer and lifelong mountaineer Larry Penberthy formed Mountain Safety Research (MSR) as a one-man crusade dedicated to improving the safety of climbing equipment. The fuel behind Larry’s passionate fire was a simple belief that still drives our team today:

The idea that better, safer, more reliable equipment is the key to unlocking greater adventures.

Today, many MSR products are still hand-built on manufacturing lines just a floor below where we concept them.

Australian Preparedness provides only the best hand-picked survival and prepper gear. If you think we are missing something great, we’d love to hear from you!

With that said, Australian Preparedness is new! We are newly established – in fact, we started planning this startup just before the Coronavirus pandemic hit! We then saw firsthand how many in our local community could not even get a hold of the basics from the supermarket. That confirmed to us that we were on the right path!
