Destin, FL (PRWEB) May 20, 2012

Although the MRE was adopted by the Department of Defense for combat rations in 1975, they didn?t become the official staple for U.S. combat troops until 1988, and became a household name during Operation Desert Storm (http://www.mreinfo.com). The MRE is now available in civilian packaging for everyday consumption. The advantage of using MRE?s vs. other survival foods (including freeze dried food supplies) is that the MRE is fully self-contained including the entre, drink, desert, utensils, and even a heater to warm up the meal.

Besides having the MRE for survival after hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, or blizzards, this little food pouch has many other uses. The most common alternative use would be for camping and hiking. Using the small and lightweight MRE eliminates the need to bring dishes, utensils, and cookware to prepare a meal. This will allow more food to be packed in less space with less weight.

Taking the MRE to sporting events and music concerts is another practical choice. The cost of a MRE compared to vender prices at these events, plus the time spent standing in line or giving up a key lawn seat to get food, makes the MRE a practical alternative for these events.

Fishing trips, boating excursions, cross country biking, or outings at the beach can all have uses for the MRE as well. With a shelf life of over 2 years, the MRE is something that can be stocked up for whatever the need may be.

Disaster Relief Supply carries the Eversafe brand of MRE?s (who is a large supplier to the U.S. military). Other survival foods and supplies are also carried by Disaster Relief Supply for Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Recovery.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 16, 2012

The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) today announced that in 2011 U.S. retail sales for recreational boats, accessories and marine services increased six percent to $ 32.3 billion, new power and sail boat retail sales increased 0.8 percent to 214,405, and boating participation increased ten percent to 83 million. The recreational boating industry has not seen an increase in retail sales since 2006, and the jump in participation is the largest proportion of adults (34.8 percent) who went boating since 1997, when 35.8 percent participated.

Released today, the NMMA?s annual Recreational Boating Statistical Abstract is the U.S. recreational boating industry?s most comprehensive compilation of statistics and research. The new data signals the beginning of a recovery for the U.S. recreational boating industry.

Leading a recovery are sales of aluminum power boats (primarily fishing and pontoon boats), which were up four percent in 2011. There were 77,150 aluminum power boats sold in 2011. The top ten states for aluminum power boat retail sales were (in order of highest to lowest): Texas, Minnesota, Michigan, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Florida, Alabama, Missouri, Arkansas and Illinois.

?Pent-up demand for boats following years of diminished willingness to spend by consumers, improved credit availability for buyers and boating businesses, positive shifts in consumer confidence and an overall interest in the benefits of the boating lifestyle are steering the industry toward recovery,? notes Thom Dammrich, NMMA president. ?Americans? passion for enjoying the boating lifestyle is taking precedent as they put aside concerns about the economy in favor of creating lifelong memories with loved ones.?

Data from NMMA?s Abstract shows the recreational boating industry continues to be predominantly comprised of small boats, which includes the aluminum power boat segment: 95 percent of the 12.4 million registered boats in the U.S. in 2011 were 26 feet or less in size. Boats less than 26 feet are most often taken by trailer to local bodies of water, in contrast to boats which are 26 feet in length and larger and typically docked at marinas. The size of the boats Americans purchase is relative to boater income: 83 percent of all boat owners in the U.S. in 2011 had an annual household income less than $ 100,000.

Anticipating what 2012 will bring the NMMA Abstract points toward continued slow growth: A survey, in conjunction with Foresight Research, of 3,100 boaters and non-boaters from December 2011 shows an estimated 15.2 percent of the 237.7 million adults living in the U.S. are actively engaged in shopping/planning to purchase a boat in 2012. This is an increase from 10 percent in 2010.

The Recreational Boating Industry by the Numbers

Boating has an estimated annual economic impact of $ 72 billion.
Eighty-three million Americans participated in boating in 2011, an increase of ten percent from 2010 (75 million) and the largest proportion of adults (34.8 percent) who went boating since 1997 (35.8 percent).
Retail sales of boats, accessories and marine services increased six percent to $ 32.3 billion in 2011.
Power and sail boat unit sales increased 0.8 percent to 214,405 in 2011 from 212,645 the previous year.
An estimated 83 percent of boats sold in the U.S. in 2011 were made in the U.S.
Ninety-five percent of the 12.4 million registered boats in the U.S. in 2011 were less than 26 feet.
Retail sales of aluminum power boats (fishing and pontoon boats) increased four percent in 2011. This segment is leading a recovery for the industry.
83 percent of boat owners in the U.S. in 2011 had an annual household income less than $ 100,000.

Nature has an extraordinary amount of beauty and comfort to give us. While we can sample this wealth from the shore, we can not fully understand nature’s wonder without embracing it in every capacity. As such, paddle boats provide an avenue through which we can fulfill the potential that our lakes, ponds, and oceans have to offer.

Paddle boating gives unequalled opportunities to observe features of nature which are otherwise inaccessible. This is nowhere else more clear than in the private reserves of a pond, nestled away from open shore and available only to boaters. Riding to the private nooks and crannies of bodies of water, untouched by land-goers and kept clean for those navigating the lake’s surface, is an experience unmatched by any on land. Numerous fish become available. New birds make themselves noticed from numerous angles and from a much better view. One’s understanding of nature is improved though an inclusive and rewarding engagement of the outdoors. Riding low and carefully, one can recede on to the surface and get unbelievably close to curious animals

Perhaps most important in the experiencing of the wonder of the outdoors through paddle boating, is just getting away from the coast line and surrounding one’s self with nature. Allowing the boat to rock in the open waters of the center of a lake gives you an opportunity to relax in a way unavailable to those on theshore. Escaping to a paddle boat removes much of the noise forced upon us by modern-day society, letting the birds’ songs ring more clear. Getting out of forested areas and on top of the water also gives you, otherwise unnoticed, views. Just kicking away from shore on a paddle boat allows nature’s full wonder to come into focus.

Despite the fact that one could certainly experience such a close relationship with marine wildlife via other water-going vessels such as rowboats or canoes, paddle boats allow greater access for those uninterested in the hindrances such boats carry. Many people find the use of oars absolutely tedious or are physically unable to row with their arms. For such folks, paddle boating unlocks a part of nature they would otherwise be kept from. Certainly, others simply desire the convenience pedaling with the feet gives you, Allowing the hands to hold a fishing net, cell phone, or cool beverage.

There are few things that can not be done more simply on a paddle boat than on other boats. Rather than towing and undocking a pontoon to fish from, a process which introduces unwanted tension and worry to an otherwise serene experience, one can fish from a paddle boat with far less trouble. Likewise, instead of venturing out to explore the shallow and remote coves of a lake in a tipsy, unsettling kayak, the paddle boat allows maneuverability while keeping a certain amount of stability.

Finally, just as hikers, skiers, and trail runners gain new respect for nature’s intricacy and wonder through a physical engagement with it, so too can paddle boaters better understand its wealth. In the same way that a tourist standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon can not accurately imagine the views supplied by stepping down into the canyon’s trails, those standing on the shore do not get the full experience offered by bodies of water. To head out on a paddle boat, working the legs and feet just as a jogger, connects the boater with the outdoors in a different and empowering way.
