A little backstory on what FR-1 Defense means and the mission we are on.

An FR-1 Defender is a warrior and lover who holds the keys to the future.   

 
A Ready First Defender won’t be trapped in a cage, allowing the world to domesticate us into believing that we will only ever amount to a decent hourly wage.
 
This Warriors Dreams, Goals and Visions are monumental, their drive is inspirational, their ambition is contagious and their love is noble.
 
This warrior fights for what he/she wants. We endure the Journey… we become patient and enjoy the process. 
Being able to be ready first means that we can dream big, take risks, adapt to change and inspire others to change the world.
 
The main goal here at FR-1 Defense is to help people transition from being so dependent on currency to living a life of preparedness and prosperity.
 
Some of the fundamentals we live by is: Primitive and Survival Skills, Emergency Preparedness, Foraging and Growing Crops.  

If that is something you would love to learn then  Come join the Tribe.

Hey Guys and Gals, Hope your day is going well. 

My name is Aaron (Founder and CEO)

Ever since I was a kid I  always knew I wanted to handcraft Survival and Prepping Gear.🏕️ 

Well 5 years ago I had an interesting situation where I was in a position where my cheap fire starting gear was compromised.😲

Over 40 miles away from my vehicle🚗…..I knew that I would be spending possibly a few nights outdoors. ⛰️

 
The only thing… my fire starter🔥 failed and now my options were very limited. 
 
 
From that point on and going forward I was never going to risk my life on cheap gear👎 and I didn’t want anybody to experience failed backpacking products as well. 
 
That’s when Front Range First Defense was started. 
 
We started our journey by making  some of the best fire starting gear available and we quickly realized that we were a passionate group dedicated on helping people become more Prepared and Self Sufficient no matter what life may throw at us. 
 
Recently we underwent a small Brand Redirection and we changed the brand name to  FR-1 Defense. (Fundamentals of Ready First Defense) 
 
A Brand that is going to help you become more aware and prepared to be ready first. Helping you prepare (mentally and physically) for the worst but striving for the best. 
 
 We are running full speed head and growing strong👉🏽 💪 to build you guys more amazing Survival, Prep and Backpacking gear. 

 
What makes our Brand Different?? Our products are Handcrafted in the USA(Colorado) We do NOT buy generic chinese products and slap our Brand Label on them.

 

We actually employ hard working Americans like yourself (Veterans, Single Moms and Dads).So when you purchase from us, you actually help and support the lives of hard working Americans.  

We dont dropship as well any of our products from China that takes weeks to get here and sometimes not even package correctly to make it here safely. 

We work and partner with Professional and Trusted Brands 

That is why we have to have premium prices for our products, but we know our products will serve you at the highest level on your adventures & travels.

 

Our Journey began from a small town of Fort Collins Colorado and are proudly serving this great country we live in.

Emergency Preparedness means a lot to us and we Thank You for letting us be a part of your Survival and Prepping needs.  

 
Safe Travels and Happy Adventures🏕️
