• One 49 gallon box (The Shelterbox) initially the container for delivery of the materials listed below. Once delivered, can be used as water tank, food store, cot, table, etc.
• One ten-person tent, including two fabric interior privacy partitions, outer fly-sheet and repair kit. These tents are considered ‘winter suitable’ by international relief standards.
• Vinyl insulated sleeping mats and lightweight thermal blankets. More compact than sleeping bags, these mats and blankets have multiple uses. The blanket can also be fashioned to catch water, as a tarp, etc. while the mat also serves as a ground ‘table’ for meals, or tent rugs.
• One pack of 180 water purification tablets or a water purification kit; and one 5 gallon flat-pack water container (Each tablet will purify a full container of water providing 1,800 gallons of clean drinking water which should be sufficient for a family of ten for up to three months).
• Two 2.1 gallon, collapsible, plastic water carriers.
• One collapsible trenching shovel
• Rope, 164 foot
• Repellant-treated mosquito netting
• Ten PVC Ponchos/ ten HD plastic bags
• Tool kit in canvas bag: hachet, jack-knife, screwdriver, hammer, hoe head etc.
• Multi-fueled cook stove
• Eating utensils: enamel plates/cups
• Children's activity kit-simple school supplies, stickers and coloring book
The contents are under continuous review. A small stock of wind-up radios (short-wave and FM) has been obtained to substitute a sleeping bag in every tenth box should such a requirement arise.
For shipping purposes, a large container (40 feet) can accommodate up to 240 Shelterboxes, smaller containers would typically be half the size and quantities. The purpose of Shelter Box USA, Inc. is to provide victims of disaster with shelter, by supporting the efforts of the Shelter Box Trust.
ShelterBox USA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing shelter, warmth, and comfort to survivors of disaster worldwide. Our organization is supported by individual US citizens and organizations, including Rotary Clubs, other service & community groups, schools, religious groups, businesses, and small private foundations.

It took me exactly 30 days to lose 15 pounds on this plan. Each day, I ate 5 small meals and 2 snacks provided by Take-Shape-For-Life…and a meal of my choice, usually a small steak or chicken breast cooked up on my grill and green salad or broccoli. Sometimes a couple of fish filets and a green salad. I really felt like I was constantly eating. You eat something every 2 to 3 hours. I also tried to take a short walk each day and drink lots of water.
Some of the meals and snacks you can order include Chicken Noodle Soup, Beef Vegetable Stew, Creamy Broccoli Soup, Chocolate Shakes, Vanilla Shakes, Pudding, S’more Crunch Bars, Cinnamon Roll Crunch Bars, Caramel Crunch Bars, Crackers, Honey Mustard Pretzels, Chili Nacho Cheese Puffs, Apple Cinnamon, Peach, Blueberry Oatmeal, and LOTS more!
I’ve tried all the fad diets, the national clubs etc… and this is the only one that works for me. Some advice, if you decide to do this: DON’T CHEAT, FOLLOW THE BOOK THEY SEND YOU! BE PATIENT! TRY TO WALK, RUN, OR AT LEAST MOVE YOUR BODY A LITTLE EVERY DAY! I only weighed myself once at the beginning of my 30 days and again at the end. I figured if I obsessed over slight changes every day or even every week, I might get discouraged and be tempted to grab a burger & fries “today” and re-start my plan “tomorrow”.
I am still using the Take Shape For Life plan. Some of the other guys and girls here at the Radio Ranch are doing it too. It’s nice to have someone to swap ideas with. I want to lose another 15 pounds.
I feel better mentally and physically. I’ll post some before and after shots on the website when I reach my goal. Good Luck!
