Puravai Emergency Water
20-Year Long Term Emergency Drinking Water - the perfect companion to freeze dried food!
No other packaged emergency water compares to Puravai™ Water. Aluminum cans leak over time, steel cans rust, pouched water punctures, boxed water crushes, but the thick HDPE plastic bottles used by Puravai™ are made to last for decades.
Puravai & Thrivalist
Thrivalist isn’t just a brand—it’s a purpose. Our goal is simple: to help families be genuinely prepared, without confusion, unnecessary costs, or worry. That means products that perform when it counts. That means nutritious, natural, and long-lasting food. That means guidance that replaces stress with confidence. And that means a team that has tested it all so you don’t have to.
Since 2011, Marcello and the Thrivalist team have supported tens of thousands of families, organizations, and even elite groups like FEMA, Navy SEALs, Apple, the Swedish Military, and Fortune 100 companies in planning for the unexpected. But it’s not about the names—it’s about the impact.
The true reward? Giving one family peace of mind. Then another. And eventually, thousands more. That’s why our mission is clear:
Empower millions of families to prepare for emergencies the right way. In a world full of fear-driven messaging, overpriced gear, and emergency food that doesn’t last, Thrivalist provides clarity. We deliver top-tier, scientifically backed solutions, and a straightforward path to real preparedness.
It didn’t begin as a business—it began as a father wanting to protect his family. When Marcello Surjopolos became a husband, and later a dad, his perspective changed. Preparedness was no longer just a hobby—it was a responsibility.
Like many others, he relied on big-name brands, spent thousands of dollars, and followed conventional advice. He became the go-to resource for friends and family, spending over 1,000 hours researching, testing products, and trying to get everything “right.” But what came next was eye-opening.
Food meant to last 25 years spoiled after only one. Emergency meals were mostly filler, not the nutritious, freeze-dried meals he expected. Companies he trusted—and that everyone online praised—fell short. And he realized he had unknowingly passed that misinformation on to his loved ones.
“I felt misled. More than that, I felt responsible. That’s when I decided: no more trusting clever marketing. I needed to understand the science behind what truly works.”
That choice set Marcello on a new path. He became a firefighter and EMT, gained over 20,000 hours of hands-on emergency preparedness and survival experience, and ultimately built some of the most respected brands in the world of emergency preparedness:
Food Storage Depot – Utah’s biggest one-stop shop for emergency preparedness.
Ready Harvest Foods – one of the most trusted long-term food brands available.
Puravai Emergency Water – the world’s longest-lasting emergency water supply.
Thrivalist – a leading program for practical, hands-on preparedness training.
