This post covers the top 20 Thrive Life products of all time.
Over the years, people have begun to consider the possibilities of a world in which survival would be a primary factor.
What would happen if a major war would start in the United States?
Or if nuclear or biological weapons were used?
It is not something that everyone discusses around their evening meal, but some actually do talk about these possibilities.
While some people consider them on the fanatic side of situations, many others have come to an agreement that it is better to be prepared than to be left in need.
They are called Preppers.
They are survivalists, and over the years, this movement has grown in numbers.
There was a huge wave just before the year 2000 when there were predictions of catastrophic events that would occur when 1/1/2000 arrived.
While nothing real serious did happen, many humans are still geared to any possibilities.
There is even a network of Preppers you can see here.
In 2004, Steve Palmer and Jason Budge felt they could help within this survival network.
The first idea was called Shelf Reliance which is still a part of the Thrive Life system.
Jason’s inventive mind came up with the idea of a shelving system to store survival foods.
Steve had the marketing side and together with each of their wives, they made Shelf Reliance work.
As the shelving systems gained a following, the idea of items to fill those shelves took place.
Using their survival brains, the Palmers and Budges developed the combinations of freeze drying and dehydrating food items that will last for years.
In 2007, Thrive Life products were introduced.
The next year, the Q feature was instituted where Preppers could set a budget and have Thrive survival items delivered on a regular basis within their budget.
And, in 2009 Thrive Life started using the multilevel marketing business approach which would allow independent distributors a way to start their own Thrive Life home base Prepper business.
Thrive Life is based in American Fork, Utah.
The majority of products they sell are American made.
I have decided to use a variety of sources to determine the top 20 Thrive Life products.
These come from online reviews, sales figures and some of my Prepper friends.
I am not affiliated in any way with Thrive Life nor is Online MLM Community. I am just providing this information for your benefit so you can determine if Thrive Life may be a company you would like to work with.
So, starting with #20, here are the top 20 Thrive Life products.
