As wildfires in and around Los Angeles continue to grow, the county has been criticized for sending extra firefighting equipment to Ukraine.
Just months after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, hoses, nozzles, helmets, body armor, bunker gear, and other personal protective equipment were sent over to the Eastern European country, which is still in the midst of a war against Russia two years later.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department was reached out to by the “First-in Fire Foundation” and worked with LA County, LA City Fire, and the National Guard to collect extra surplus gear that was sitting in storage, per ABC 7.
Then-LA County Fire Chief Daryl Osby said at the time, “We are extremely proud to help our brothers and sister firefighters in Ukraine because we know how dangerous it is to fight fires with full gear. We’ve never experienced doing it in a war. So whatever we can do to assist them, to enable them to protect the lives and property of their fellow citizens, we’re on board.”
“Everyone wants to know what can we do to support these brave citizens of Ukraine who are, you know, risking their lives to save their country, and I think, I think the residents of L.A.County are going to appreciate this chief,” said Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn. “And they’ll be able to say ‘we’re a part of a county that actually stepped up, and did something tangible to help those who are over there fighting this war.” […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
