Flashlights That Do Not Need Batteries.

You want to have some flashlights, but you do not want to have to worry about batteries. Well, get some of these. I have 3 flashlights that do not use batteries. I have one that is solar powered and is always sitting in my southern facing kitchen window. I have these 2 that are really cool. Both given to me a few years ago as birthday gifts. One is a hand crank one and the other one is one that you shake and it charges it. It is called a Forever Flashlight by Excalibur. They really come in handy. We have used them a lot over the past few years. In 2008 when we had that horrible wind storm that knocked our power out for almost 3 days we had these. You should have a few of these on hand for emergencies and keep a couple in your vehicles. Could be a real life saver.

Organize The Stockpile

This is what I am going to be working on the rest of the week. I need to get my stockpile of food organized. I do not have a lot of room to do this in, but I have been using one corner of my bedroom and boxes. Not very good , but I have to work with what I have. I am saving some money back , taking the savings from using coupons, to order me some of these can organizers. Might take me a while to do that, but for now I am going to make a list for each box and tape it on the outside. Making sure to note the dates. Maybe that will make it easier to rotate. Each box will have a different type of food in it. One for canned, one for condiments, and so on. I will probably be working on this the rest of the week. It should be worth it though. I just wish that I had more room. LOL.
Here is a great Food Storage Inventory List that I am going to print out to put in my kitchen binder. That way I do not have to run to the boxes every time and look for something. I can just get this out and check. Also should make my grocery list making easier.

Frontier House

We just got done watching this DVD. The whole season of Frontier House. It was so good and really educational. I loved it. Really learned a lot from it. Tons of stuff that they had to go through and do to survive. This is a must see for anyone who wants to learn how to live off of the land and survive.

I Love Oil Lamps!

Made my monthly trip to the local thrift store yesterday and found some great items. Useful ones. I had a $10.00 off coupon so I did not feel guilty for going. I am glad that I went though. I found this 4 set of NEW Oil lamps that have the oil in them already and wicks that you put on them. Great little find that could come in handy. Oils lamps are so awesome. You never know when you might be without electricity and need lights.
I also got one of those fold up things to hang clothes on to dry. I needed another one of those. And for only $4.00 it was a steal. Those things are expensive.
