Our Story
OUR ROOTS
Total Prepare opened its doors in 2012 with the mission to supply Canadians with more choices for emergency preparedness.
At the time, the owners found there was “nothing readily available worth buying” in BC. Unsatisfied by short-lived food bars and dinky water storage options, they set out to remedy the situation by providing hearty food, clean water, and emergency equipment with shelf lives of up to 50 years.
Operating as an online-only business from a small Victoria-based warehouse, Total Prepare was a two-man show.
It turns out they were not alone in their hunt for quality preparedness supplies. As orders flowed in, Total Prepare’s team grew in size. The product lines expanded to include items from all eight areas of emergency preparedness, as well as options for schools, offices, and institutions. We welcome you to drop by our store at 48 Crease Avenue in Victoria to browse our product offerings and talk preparedness with our knowledgeable team!
