"We decided to become Thrivalist Affiliates for two reasons. First, we wanted to be able to help our friends to be as prepared for emergencies as we are. And second, because we are able to build a nice, sold income that has great monthly residual income because our customers tend to buy freeze-dried groceries month after month."
"Being prepared for any eventuality is very important to us. We have many storms in our area that can knock out power for days at a time. Every time a storm is forecasted, the grocery store shelves are stripped bare as mobs of people fight over the available food. Having a long-term food pantry means that we don’t have to be a part of that! We don’t even have to go shopping at all, because we have everything we need to outlast any storm or emergency. We also use Thrivalist freeze-dried food on an everyday basis because of the convenience."
"Becoming a Thrivalist Connector was an easy decision to make! The company, the products, and the people all align perfectly with what we do on our YouTube channel, "Wicked Prepared," where we believe in education and self-sufficiency above all else. Partnering with Thrivalist allows us to help others view preparedness through that same lens, giving people clear direction and a steady compass in a world that often feels very uncertain. This isn't just another affiliate program. It is a mission-driven community built around preparedness, integrity, and making a difference."
The goal in preparedness is not about having more - more gear, more food, more water, more stuff. It is about having the right items on hand and developing the skills and knowledge to make the most of what you have. Early on, we realized that simply buying more did not create confidence. Learning how to use what we stored did. When you understand your supplies, practice with them, and build skills alongside them, preparedness stops feeling overwhelming and starts feeling empowering. Without this mindset, emergency preparedness can feel unattainable, like an endless race to keep up. But when you focus on intention instead of accumulation, it becomes manageable, it becomes focused, and it allows you to build steadily, wisely, and within your means. Preparedness is not about fear. It is about confidence, clarity, and capability. It is about taking responsibility for your home, your family, and your future, one intentional step at a time.
“I chose to become an affiliate for Thrivalist because their food aligns with how I teach preparedness — practical, reliable, and built for real life. This isn’t panic food, and it’s not gimmicky storage. It’s high-quality, long-term food that actually belongs in a working pantry. Thrivalist gives my community an affordable way to build food security without overwhelm, and that matters to me. I only partner with companies I trust to feed my own family, and Thrivalist earned that trust. Be safe, my friends, and keep stacking it to the rafters.”
"I know what food insecurity looks like and feels like. When a hot and ready pizza is your menu for the week because you only have $10 to your name and payday is 4 days away. I believe that a well-stocked pantry is the best insurance money can buy. It is my goal to show you how to build a pantry that will provide for you and yours during the good times, and the bad. Preparedness is not all about the end of the world as we know it. It’s about life’s little, or not-so-little emergencies: job loss, weather-related emergencies, health emergencies, and more. Your Pantry can give you the safety net that makes all the difference during hard times. I hope you will join me and begin building or continue to build a well-stocked pantry."
"It is an honor to share a brand that not only provides the highest quality food, water, and survival gear, but also builds a community of like-minded people. Together, we prepare through world-class training, all while having fun and even earning some income along the way."
"In a world filled with increasing uncertainty, from unpredictable weather to man-made disruptions, we realized that true peace of mind comes from being prepared. We want that same sense of security for our friends, our families, and our community."
