Today, the US government advises every citizen to build a disaster kit and concoct plans for an array of cataclysms. There’s Stapleton’s employer, 4Patriots, and its rival, My Patriot Supply. These two firms are aggressively jockeying to be the industry’s true patriot prepping company, with one official from My Patriot Supply claiming that 4Patriots is their “archnemesis.” My Patriot Supply is particularly bellicose, deeming the other company and its competitors “fake patriots”in a video. Meanwhile, both firms have notched their share of consumer complaints with government and business watchdogs over the years. 4Patriots customers have alleged that the company produces faulty water filters, defective generators, and dubious food.
