Gadgets To Have When SHTF

If SHTF you might want some of these cool gadgets. They might make life a little bit funner and easier. Take some of the stress off for you and your family.

This Great Northern Popcorn Pit Popper Campfire Firepit Popcorn Popper - Theater Popcorn Outdoors! is something that I want bad. It would be so great to be able to make popcorn for my kids. That is one thing that they really like having.

I like this Esbit Pocket Stove with 6 Fuel Cubes. It is small enough that it is a must-have for any bug-out bag or vehicle survival kit.

Everyone MUST-HAVE one of these - AA and AAA Solar Battery Charger - Charge Your Batteries Via USB or Sun Power - Features Also Include a Battery Tester and USB Output for Charging Cell Phones, iPods/mp3s, and More!! I have one and it is used daily. Get some Duracell Rechargeables Batteries is AA and AAA and you are set. This comes in handy also because it will also charge the cell phones and mp3 players.

This Solar Powered Motion Sensor Detector Alarm is a great thing to have a couple of and set up on your house where it is hard for you to look out on your own. Lets you know if someone walks up on your home. Great security item that does not cost a lot of money!!

Everyone must have good clean water. In an emergency it might be a hard thing to come by! So this 4 Gallon Countertop Water Filter - Save $$$ - Transform Tap Water to Pure Healthy Mineral Drinking Water is something that you have to have. I am getting one and going to stock up on the filters for it for when SHTF!!

A good set of Wide Angle Binoculars could come in handy. Could use them if you have to go hunting or for safety.

A good Compass could really be a life saver. If you ever get lost having one of these would make all of the difference.

My son also said to have a bunch of games and puzzles , like Trivial Pursuit Master Edition to keep everyone busy and together. Games are a great way to pass the time. Maybe get some of those handheld games like - 5000 Games in One Pocket Arcade Handheld Electronic Game - Various Colors or a Electronic Connect 4 the Classic Vertical Four in a Row Game.

I am going to be making a faraday cage soon and want to put some of those handheld games in it too. Just little gadgets that would make kids happy and make life a bit more enjoyable for them. A Portable DVD Player could be something to put in the cage also. Have a movie night with the popcorn that you make on your BBQ!!

The Safest Place To Live??

This is a book that we all need. A great resource for finding the perfect and safest place to move our families too. Over 400 pages full of usefull info.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION :
This is the long-awaited update of Mr. Skousen's classic book on relocation for security. Nearly 3/4 of this 3rd Edition is rewritten and it is expanded to 400 pages. In the process, the authors created all new graphics, charts and tables. There is also a new section on international retreat potential and 200 additional pages of analysis on every state and province of the US and Candada, complete with color maps.
The maps are chock full of detail, including private and public land use, satellite terrain features, military target areas, roads and graphic depictions of population density---one of our major threats to security in a crisis.

Despite the ongoing illusions of peace and prosperity, our world is getting less stable, not more. The economic foundations of the US and the world are all based on fiat money and are crumbling. Earthquakes, Hurricanes, War and terrorism are ever present threats, and the secondary effects of social unrest in large metropolitan areas will be disruptive and dangerous if there is a shortage of essential commodities that cause people to panic.

When you relocate or retire your prime concern should be long-term security, not recreation. Sometimes you can have both. This book is designed to help you relocate around serious threats and to develop contingency plans when you can't relocate due to work or family ties.

Strategic Relocation is more than just pointing out safe areas--simply because the safer the area, the harder it is, generally, to make a living and have access to the conveniences of life. For these reasons, relocation decisions are fairly complex, and Mr. Skousen walks you through all of the difficult choices and compromises that are inevitable in finding safety, without being totally isolated. This book has answers for nearly every situation.

Add Variety To Your Food Storage

There are many ways to add variety to your food storage. Ways to make it more lively and not boring at all. Ways that do not have to cost a lot of money. It does not have to be too expensive to even have a stockpile of food and items!

Have plenty of seasonings and spices. They are a must have when it comes to cooking really good food and ways to liven up things. Having the right seasoning on hand could be all of the difference between eating good meals and boring meals. Chili powder and taco seasoning are 2 things that I try to add to my food storage every week. I use a lot of it. A good idea is to go through the recipes that you use a lot or think of meals that your family loves and then stock up on those seasonings and spices that you need to make that. Also stockpile the other items.

Keep a huge supply of different flavors of bouillon. You can get them in beef, chicken, ham, and other flavors. Great to cook rice and noodles in and also great addition to soups.

Keep an assortment of condiments in your stockpile also. Soy sauce, ketchup, A-1, mustard, BBQ sauce, and the list goes on. Having these items in your food storage could be a life saver.

Have sweet items in your stockpile. Sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, chocolate chips, etc. Anything you might need to make some cookies or sweets. I always have on hand lots of cinnamon-sugar that I get at the Dollar Tree. My kids love cinnamon toast. They will eat that for a snack and when I am out of the cinnamon sugar they let me know! LOL So, that is one thing that I buy even when we don't need it.

My daughter made me think of this one. She will drink hot chocolate all year around. 110 degrees outside and she will have a mug of hot chocolate in her hand. Have tons of cocoa, breakfast drink mixes, vanilla, syrup, and other items like that. Breakfast drink mixes add well to powdered milk. They make it much more enjoyable to drink. Plus it is very healthy.

Adding variety to your food storage does not have to cost a lot of money and it could be a life saver. Having good tasting food in an emergency will be a great moral booster. Giving your family a satisfying meal in lean times will make everyone feel so much better and make it easier to deal with other things that are going on. Having comfort food will have a calming effect on everyone I would think. Make it easier to sleep knowing that your family is well fed.
