PRI-D is a super concentrated, complete fuel treatment that improves all diesel fuels and kerosene making them stable for multi-year storage. The “Sta-Bil” product is excellent for short-to-medium term storage of fuels for up to a year or maybe two. But PRI-D allows you to store fuel, especially diesel and kerosene, for up to five (5) years or more. Further, you can use PRI-D to “restore” tainted and aged fuels that were improperly stored. We recommend treating all long term stored fuels with PRI-D (or PRI-G specifically for gasoline).

The Brits call them torches but this is a great post on this member’s flashlight choices.
TEOTWAWKI News Excerpt:
My EDC torch is a Surefire 6P clone: The body is bored for 18mm cells so I use 18650 Li-Ion cells in it. The LED module is Malkoff M61, 260 lumens for 2 hours. It’s compact and is actually shorter than the Mini Maglite.
The Tactical Tool Roll was designed to carry your necessary tools to your jobsite and then be laid out with everything visible and easy to get at. It can even be hung up over a door knob using it’s carry handle.
Not much info beyond the website: “Each package of Cool Caffeine mints contains 10 mints. net weight .35oz. per pack. Unit of sale, 24 packages. USPS Priority shipping included. Only orders for shipment within the U.S. are accepted.” But we just ordered these and will report back asap. The Cool Caffeine mints seem like a great addition to your B.O.B. and also for your vehicles (especially for those of us who do not drink coffee).
There won’t always be a mechanic available and this device can help you troubleshoot issues with your modern, computer-controlled vehicle. Simply plug the Actron CP9125 PocketScan Code Reader into the data port on your vehicle and the device will display the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for whatever is wrong. Included with the device is a CD-ROM manual containing over 3,000 DTC codes (remember to print the codes in case you do not have access to a computer / ROM drive). We recommend stowing one of these units in each vehicles repair kit.

Well-written article by Eric Peters on choices for SHTF Vehicles:
WTSHTF News Excerpt:
In my last column I wrote about buying land as a hedge against both currency collapse and the very real possibility of roaming mobs of violent thugs in a SHTF scenario. Several readers brought up the issue of transportation. What kind of vehicle would be good to have in bad times? Here are some thoughts on that.
If you store fuel like we do, then this rotary barrel pump is a must have. The ATD model has a cast iron pump housing and fits 5 to 55 gallon drums. The pump is recommended for diesel and gasoline. Do not use with acids or alkaline solutions, trichlene, perchlene, thinner, etc.. Having a hand-powered pump is an essential backup (or primary) option for fuel handling.
We love this multifunction Rescue Tool from Channellock. At only 1.59 lbs. and less than 11 inches long, it packs a lot of power into a small package. The 89 Rescue Tool w/ Cable Cutter includes a cable cutter with hardened steel edges along with a Spanner Wrench (for up to 6″ couplings) and a tool-steel punch (that shatter safety glass). Plus a pry bar and a gas shutoff wrench. The narrow profile lets it fit in a tight spot and makes it easy to store in your vehicle.
Available directly from Channelock for $55.28 plus shipping
