Haeleum Women's Lyft Shirt - Insect Shield In A Shirt



There are so many amazing items out there that you can be prepared for anything now! This is one of those items. Haeleum Women's Lyft Shirt has the insect shield right in it. It is made out of light weight drythru Polyester. Stays cool. The long sleeves provide even more protection from insects, but you stay cool.It is moisture wicking. Draws the moisture away from your body so that you stay cool.

This shirt has Insect Shield technology built right into it. An odorless protective barrier against mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies, and chiggers. Protect yourself against West-Nile virus and Lyme Disease. No harmful sprays or irritating odors. This clothing can be worn by children and even by pregnant women.  Just get outside and enjoy your time. This is durable and the insect repellant in this will last through 70 washings. With normal home laundering. No dry-cleaning. 

If you spend anytime at all outside, than you have to get some of these shirts. They even have 50 UPF sun protection and with the insect shield , this makes this a must-have. It feels good on and will be great for traveling because it is also wrinkle free. Just throw it into your suit case and go. I really love this shirt. It feels good on and knowing that it keeps the pest away is a huge plus. I live in Southern Indiana and we have a lot of mosquitoes and chiggers  this time of year. It felt good to go out and work in the yard and not end up with a ton of bites. I am the one in the family that is always getting bit. Everyone around me not having one bug bother them, I go into house after being out and am covered in bites. I feel so much better wearing something that is not bad for everyone, like spray is.

Homemade Blueberry Fruit Rollups!

A neighbor gave me about 10 cups of blueberries Yesterday and I thanked them , then started to wonder what I would do with them. Luckily hubby is home on vacation , because he said to make some fruit leather with them. Something that we all would like and it would keep longer. Maybe. So I got them all cleaned up and put into the blender. I used the recipe that I seen on Youtube by the TheRecipeDude. Very easy to do! I took the picture when I checked it after about 4 hours. I think that It will take about another 4 -5 hours. I have 2 fruit leather trays. Used 2 cups of blueberries per tray. I still have 6 cups of blueberries to make into leather. The first tray I made for this had some strawberries thrown into it. Wonder which tray will taste the best??

My New favorite Survival Gear - Bemco Backpacker Oven!

This is absolutely amazing. I had to try it out as soon as I received it. Perfect chance for letting my son make something. He picked out blueberry "muffins". We used the pans that came with it so they were more like cake. But, that was fine. This Bemco Backpacker Oven is so easy to put together and use. It is in a nylon bag to keep it all together and ready for taking on the road. After I used this today, I know for sure that this would be great for a bug-out vehicle , camping, or to just use anytime for off-the-grid life.

I read through the instructions one time and in about 5 minutes I had my Sterno lit up and preheating the BEMCO Backpacker Oven. My son mixed up the blueberry muffins to put in! I had this set up on our back deck with a cookie sheet under it. It worked so well. I was really surprised and loved the idea of having baked something without heating up the house. I LOVE THIS!! I really recommend anyone who wants to have a survival lifestyle and be prepared for anything to get one of these. This is the 7 inch one and it only weighs about 24 ounces, making it great for a backpack. It heats up quick and saves on your cooking fuel. I used a Sterno , but you can also use it set up on a RV cooktop or use hot coals from your grill in it. The heat stays in this and cooks up quick. Reaches 500 degrees quickly. It cooked up our cakes evenly and the bottoms were perfect. No scorching at all.  I am going to use this a lot.  It is made of lightweight aluminum, so it will be easy to get out and put up. I won't be lugging around a heavy oven. Tomorrow I am going to make some of my homemade biscuits and have my hubby make some gravy. This is my new favorite Survival Gear!!
