Cool Dollar Tree Find

 

 

Just another cool Dollar Tree find that could come in handy during a emergency andif you have no lights.

 

Cute little 5 LED desk top lights. They use 3 AA batteries that I also buy at the Dollar Tree and as you can tell from the picture they are very bright.

 

You might check to see if you Dollar Tree has them. I just found these by accident. They were on the bottom of a shelf in a box with other little trinkets, like sticker collector albums and other small things. Totally hidden. I grabbed one of each color just to see how they work. Might get a couple more just to put back. I always have a stockpile of AA batteries. Everything in our house seems to use them.

Survival Family Basics

Survival Family Basics - The Prepper Survival Guide to Bugging Out When it's Time to Get Out of Dodge (Prepper Survival Guide Books) was a free book for the kindle when this post was written.

The last thing any parent ever wants to have to do is drag their children from the safety and security of their home into a hostile environment. But when a disaster strikes, this is exactly what may be required in order to keep your family safe from harm. “Survival Family Basics - The Prepper Survival Guide to Bugging Out When it's Time to Get Out of Dodge” is here to help you do just that – keep your family safe on the move.

It is an unfortunate fact that no matter where you live, there is always the possibility that some kind of crisis will render your home or the area where you live unsafe. In these situations you may have no other alternative than to “get out of Dodge!”

The need to bug-out creates a greater logistical challenge than any other prepping scenario and for families, the stakes are even higher. While you might be able to go without food for a few days or be willing to risk drinking water that might make you sick, you probably aren’t willing to put your kids in the same situation.

Here are some of the things you will learn…

• How to pick a bug out location
• What kind of transportation options you need to consider when making your bug out plan
• Who in your family needs a bug out bag
• What to do when you are bugging out with small children
• The basic ingredients needed to build your bug-out bag
• Information on the special considerations you need to factor in when you are bugging out with your entire family

From deciding your bug-out destination to creating an inventory system for your bug-out bag, this book provides you with the information and insight you need to get your family and your gear out of the house and on the move as quickly as possible when disaster strikes!
