OK, it’s plastic, made in China and from Wal-Mart, but we have been unable to find any better value for similar storage or foot lockers. These units are lockable, have wheels and a solid handle for transport. Each locker holds 23-gallons which is large enough for bulky items without the entire unit becoming impossible to move. While these lockers meet USPS, UPS and airline shipping regulations, we would be wary to ship for fear of breakage. But for storage at home this is an excellent solution. They would also make an excellent Bug-Out-Box for bulk and larger items, assuming vehicle travel.

The Survival Tribe deals with the harsh (and generally unpleasant) truth about rats.
TEOTWAWKI News Excerpt:
I don’t know about you but there isn’t any other creature I hate more in the world than rats!
They absolutely creep me out.
I mean it’s bad enough dealing with them now when the world is functioning normally but what about AFTER a TEOTWAWKI event???
For all the coffee drinkers out there, consider adding Starbucks VIA Ready Brew to your pantry. Granted at $.60 each they are not cheap but they have a unique feature that makes them very useful…the “microground” coffee is so finely ground it will dissolve in cold water. This makes VIA perfect for camping and hunting or your B.O.B. / Evac-Pack. You can still make hot coffee too and the beans are ethically sourced and it’s still cheaper than a coffee just about anywhere.
While more practical than tactical, the Streamlight Sidewinder Compact is definitely a useful flashlight for a specific set of parameters. The CR123A-powered light is perfect for mounting on a vest, pack, headstrap or MOLLE to have one of the found (4) LEDs available anytime, anywhere. You get a white LED, red LED, blue LED and IR LED each with four (4) levels of output intensity plus a strobe function. It takes a moment to get comfortable with the controls but it is easy to operate once you map it mentally.

You have to read this true, real life SHTF experience now. Are you prepared for this?
WTSHTF News Excerpt:
OK, i wanna share with you my own experience. (be patient with my English, i am from far away )
I am from Bosnia, and as some of you may know it was hell here from 92-95, anyway, for 1 whole year i lived and survived in a city of 50 000- 60 000 residents WITHOUT: electricity, fuel,running water,real food distribution, or distribution of any goods, or any kind of organized law or government.The city was surrounded for 1 year and in that city actually it was SHTF situation.
This flashlight will literally burn your eyes out – “The Maelstrom S18 is a veritable hand-held spotlight that features 4Sevens’ unique thermal regulation and a blistering high output of 1200 OTF lumens.” And that is a real-true 1200 OTF lumens our of the lens not just from the bulbs (as is the case with many other specs). The Maelstrom is powered by six (6) CR123A batteries with a runtime up to 17.5 hours at the 80 lumens setting and down to .6 hours at the full 1200 lumens settings. There are a bunch of other features and the unit is tank-built but the main feature is the blinding output of this handheld.
"How many?" the answer is "Two Is One, One Is None." This site is dedicated to providing a complete directory of the best preparedness
items available, based on exhaustive research and testing. We post 3 products daily plus constant news. TIOOIN is Cool Tools meets Survival Blog!
