Preparation isn't a fad. It's a mindset.
In a world where uncertainties are increasing — from prolonged power outages and extreme weather events to geopolitical tensions — one thing is becoming increasingly clear: self-reliance is not a luxury, but a responsibility.
Blackline was founded from that belief.
Tested where it matters
The products you find at Blackline aren't theoretical. They've been selected, tested, and used by military professionals and specialists from tactical professions—people who need to be able to rely on their equipment under pressure.
Blackline is backed by over 25 years of practical experience within the Defense Department and government. This experience forms the foundation of everything we do. No unnecessary gadgets. No compromises. Just materials that do what they're supposed to—when it matters most.

Our selection is built around one principle: Reliability above all.
Whether it concerns knives, lighting, medical supplies, water purification or emergency supplies — every product must function when it matters.
Being prepared is thinking ahead
Preparation isn't about fear, but about calm. Not about threat, but about control.
Putting together a good emergency kit is an essential step in that preparation. Consider situations like prolonged power outages, floods, fires, extreme weather, or social disruption. In such situations, basic necessities like water, food, heat, light, and medical supplies are crucial.
An effective emergency kit always provides for basic needs:
- Drinking water and means to purify water
- Long-lasting food
- Reliable lighting
- Heat and protection
- Basic medical and first aid supplies
- Communication and information services, such as an emergency radio, access to clean drinking water, and reliable information, can literally save lives in crisis situations. That's why Blackline selects only products that have proven their value in practice.
