August

Getting a slow start this month with school starting up again, but we'll be focusing on emergency/survival kits over the next few weeks.  Just in time for September's National Preparedness Month when you'll get the chance to put your preparedness to the test!


I'm really excited because I just received my Goal Zero Nomad 7 solar-powered USB and 12V DC charging ports (I won't mention that I got it for FREE!)

I'm not a big proponent of bringing electronics with me out in the wild (though quite frankly, having a means of  communication can be a lifesaver).  But with all of our dependence on technology today, it seems impossible to avoid.  If you're without electricity for more than a few days though, those electronics are useless.  Enter the 13 oz foldable portable solar panels! With a USB and 12V DC charging port (includes 12V female cigarette adapter) it's perfect for charging cell phones, mp3 players, cameras, etc.  Or hook up this battery pack to charge AA & AAA batteries!   I can't wait to try mine out!

In the meantime, watch this video!  And tell me if you get excited about it too!
