CHEAP Century 4580 Two-Burner Propane Stove
Although I’ve only done 2 tests of the stove in the backyard so far (camping will have to wait till its a little less rainy), it seems to be a high quality product. But the shipping is another story. I ordered on the 27th of march and was promised delivery by 7 April. When it eventually showed up at my door on 29 April, the packing slip showed that the order hadnt even been processed until 22 April, and it had shipped 3 days later. So while UPS outdid themselves, the seller was definitely not on track. All in all, its a great stove, and if you have no need for it in a timely matter I say go for it.
Offering two 3-3/8-inch 10,000-BTU burners, this lightweight portable propane stove is designed for camping, picnicking, tailgating, and other outdoor activities. A 23-x-13-inch cooking surface accommodates pots and pans up to 12 inches in diameter. A chrome-plated drip tray provides for easy cleanup. Hinged, locking wind shields protect flames, which burn consistently due to pressure regulation. The stove uses a 16.4-ounce propane cylinder (not included) and easily converts to bulk-cylinder operation. Regulator and connector-tube are included. Rolled case edges and lid supply strength and safety. Heavy-duty locks secure the stove for transporting, and a carry handle is built in for portability. The stove carries a 1-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects.

CHEAP MSR XGK Expedition Service Kit for Liquid-Fuel Stove
Had my MSR Int’l for about 15 years before a problem in the field. The rubber gaskets hairline crack (maybe sooner) Anyway ALWAYS test before each trip and replace or carry this kit on trips where you have no bqackup stove or wood to cook with (assuming fires are allowed). Going on 19 years, my only concern is when the fuel line will go. At to repalce by MSR, I’ll get a new one soon. I would take 2 clamps and a spare just in case now. Store out of UV Sunlight.

CHEAP Tomahawk Full Tang Camp Combat Axe with Nylon Sheath
Well I just received this tiny axe (and i do mean) and immediately set to test the ability and durability. Now, fresh out of the box you are immediately surprised by the tiny size of this axe. but upon close inspection you to notice the quality n strength biult into this tool. The first thing I did was the get a 2×4 and hack away at the center. It worked surprisingly well and mad eshort work of the 2×4 with minmal effort. Side note: I would advise sharpening the blade as soon as possible. the blade is decently sharp but a blade can never be sharp. Afterwords I spent about an hr with my brother throwing this tiny axe tomahawk style. The best part is this axe is weighted perfectly to be thrown and is small so it doesnt take much effort at all. It come wrapped in a nylon cord for a handle. The cord itself is actually quite long and can be uncorded to be used as a snare or whatever you could think to use it for in a survival situation. I promptly discarded said cord and swapped it out for 550 cord. This is not the axe you want if your going to be doin some heavy chopping while. it is to small and you dont build much kinetic force when swinging. But this is perfected for chopping woood for a small fire and such. Perfect for survival because of the light weight and the extra cord right at your finger tips. I love mine and intend to use whenever possible. Great buy at around .

CHEAP Mountain House 72-Hour Emergency Meal Kit
Mountain House has been around a long, long time. They have put a lot of effort into improving their product over the years and the current food is really very tasty considering it is freeze-dried. All of the entrees we’ve tried have been very good. (Although of course we haven’t tried them all and there may be some that barely resemble food. Like anything else, personal taste will be the deciding factor. Adding some spices, hot sauce, etc. to your stash will make a world of difference. ) And the seven year shelf life is nice. The only caveat is that as with any pre-packaged “kit” you cannot simply take their word for how long something is supposed to last, or for how many people. You have to look at the number of calories and do the math and decide for yourself how much you will want or need. Will this keep you from starving? Sure. But if you have the foresight to “be prepared” surely you can plan to do better than just not “starving.” And consider that in many of the scenarios where you might really need this food, increased physical activity and the greatly increased calorie requirements that brings might be the order of the day. We have five day’s worth of MH food for three people, but we did it by doing the calculations and deciding how much we needed/wanted. And it’s a much bigger pile than what this package might lead you to believe is sufficient. Lastly, in addition to adequate drinking water, don’t forget the water needed to prepare the food (and although not strictly required, a way to heat the water is a huge plus.)
Ideal for keeping on hand in the event of emergencies, power failures, hurricanes, floods, and other unexpected events, this 72-hour Emergency Meal Kit from Mountain House provides hearty meals that are easy to prepare under challenging circumstances. The kit includes three breakfasts, three side vegetables, and six 10-ounce packets of lunch or dinner entrees. Featuring a seven-year shelf life, all of the meals can be easily prepared by adding water.
Kit Contents:
- Granola with blueberries and milk
- Scrambled eggs with Bacon
- Scrambled eggs with ham and peppers
- Garden green peas
- Whole kernel corn
- Cut green beans
- Beef stroganoff
- Chicken teriyaki
- Chili mac with beef
- Rice and chicken
- Pasta primavera
- Sweet and sour pork with rice

Garrity Power Lite 3 LED Crank Light Review
I was skeptical of LEDs and hand cranked contraptions in general, but I decided to take a gamble based on other reviews and this has really sold me. Springtime in Texas means windstorms which produce too many power outages to count. With the three Garrity Power Lites I just bought, I know my family will be able to reach efficient lighting when the power goes out. Even my two year old daughter can open the crank and get it going. I was really surprised by how bright it is, even in the low light mode. The best thing is the money I’ll save in batteries! I’ll buy more of these to have on hand in case of losses.
Garrity Power Lite 3 LED Crank Light Feature
- Self-powered flashlight ideal for power outages, camping, and traveling
- Provides up to one hour of bright light per minute of cranking
- Three super-bright LED bulbs; sealed, rechargeable NiMH battery
- Magnifying lens casts a bright beam; comfortable rubberized grip
- Lightweight, compact housing; lifetime warranty on the fixture
Garrity Power Lite 3 LED Crank Light Overview
A proven necessity for hurricane preparedness, the Garrity Power Lite lets you crank up the power with a few turns of the handle. This go-anywhere, anytime light is always ready, no matter how long it’s been between uses. Just press on the power button, crank the handle, and light up the power. The Power Lite includes three super-bright LED bulbs that provide up to one hour of bright light for every minute of cranking. In addition, the light’s rechargeable NiMH battery never needs to be replaced. Other features include a magnifying lens that casts a bright beam, a rubberized grip, and a compact housing. The lightweight, compact LED flashlight is also terrific for weekends at the cabin, traveling, stashing in the glove box, and standard power outages. The Power Lite carries a lifetime warranty (applies to the fixture only, not bulbs or batteries).p
