OldMt Woman – Technically it seems that Emergency Essentials was bought out by Blue Chip Group (a company that was founded by Mr. Augason) so now Augason Farms and Emergency Essentials have the same parent company. Except for their freeze-dried foods, I have liked the food I purchased from Emergency Essentials. I have also been happy with the Goal Zero products I have purchased from them over the years. In my opinion, they work well and seem to be well designed. Because the Goal Zero items were pricey, though, I usually waited until they were on a really good sale (sometimes an open box or clearance sale) before I bought them.
