Survival Hax



Summer is just around the corner so it is time to make sure your First Aid Kits are stocked up or even buy a new one. This is a great one for your car, hiking, camping, biking, traveling. You just never know when an accident will happen, so it is always good to be semi prepared.

I love that this is compact and has so much to offer from a blanket, to supplies, and evena fire starter so you can stay warm if something were to happen to keep you out in the evening or in the cold. This kit is great for campers as well, think scouts to have on hand in their hiking bags.

Don't be caught with a dead battery


My husband was super surprised by how small this jump starter was and how much it can do besides just jump starting your vehicle. From a flashlight, SOS, to charging capabilities this is a really nice piece of equipment to have.

Think about your teen or college drivers out there, we want them to be able to get home safely and having one of these in their vehicles can be a great resource for some emergencies.

I love that this is so light. The jump starters we have had in the past are huge, heavy, and bulky, plus they don't fit anywhere and just roll around the vehicle but this one can be tucked into a glove compartment, under a seat, or in some pouch at the back of your car for safe keeping when it is needed.

You can find this compact jump starter on Amazon.

Cat Tourniquet Giveaway



Having a bleeding disorder is never any fun but having children on top of yourself having it is even scarier. We have been dealing with it for some time and we found out that most EMT and ambulances do not have Tourniquets on their vehicles so we were instructed to actually have one in our home first aid kit just in case. A little extra peace of mind is just what we needed.

I hope never to actually have to use it but we are planning on teaching the children how to use one in case of emergency and if help comes to instruct them where the tourniquet is. This is a nice tourniquet that has everything you need to help someone in case of extreme blood loss.

Handcuffs



When these handcuffs came in my husband was quite impressed with them because they were the triple hinged kind.

In our home they will be mainly used for the kids playing dress up with them, or being used for a costume, or even for theater.

When my daughter saw them she is 12 she said we can use them if anyone ever breaks in. I said yes we could do that, but we will leave that part to Daddy.

My husband inspected these and agreed that these are of good quality. This is the kind of thing he went to college for, so he learned about different way of restraining a suspect, or making an arrest.

This set comes with handcuffs, two keys, and a belt pouch to store the handcuffs in.

You can find these handcuffs on Amazon.



Police style steel Handcuffs. Triple Hinged, double locking silver handcuffs. Includes carrying pouch. Useful whether you are restraining a suspect within your duties as a peace officer, security guard, or bounty hunter. Perhaps you are securing a home robber until the authorities arrive, or maybe you are honing your prisoner handling skills in an Airsoft/Paintball match. The HC-1 professional grade handcuffs are among the best in the industry. Enjoy a pair for years as they are tough and built to last.

Light where you need it




Tap lights have sure taken a step for the better since we last bought one. We live in a old farm house where there are no lights for the closets, and most of them are walk in closets, so having a light to find things is a must.

Easy to set up, install, and use. I love how bright this light is, as well as the versatility it has. Great also for a backup for power outages.

Little and Mighty





This little lantern is so bright at full strength. I was surprised. Great for camping, hiking, emergency lighting, for children to play with.

I really like that this throws off so much light. I just can't get over it. I also like that if my husband and I are not home when there is a power outage I don't have to worry about the children lighting candles they can just get this and have all of the light they need until the power comes back on.

Small but powerful. You will need 3 AA batteries for this to work. The only way to make this better would be for it to be solar or a wind up lantern.


You can purchase the Galactic Lighting LED Micro Lantern on Amazon.

Survival Bracelet

This Paracord Survival Bracelet is a plain paracord bracelet but you can do so many things just with this one bracelet. I have found hundreds of ideas on the internet on how to use the different strings that make up a the paracord from suture string, fishing string, towing things, tying up other stuff, and the list goes on and on. Just search for uses for Paracord bracelets. 

What I really like about the company that makes this paracord bracelet is that once you use it if you send back what is left with a note what it was used for they will send you another one. This is a great item for each of your family members to have as well as one in each of your vehicles. So many uses for a simple bracelet. Awesome product.

You can purchase the Paracord Survival Bracelet on Amazon.

Medical Alert ID Bracelets for an affordable price


I am really excited to tell my readers about this product. Our family has looked at medical alert bracelets and they have been too expensive to buy. I believe something you need should not be expensive and finally I found a product that provides medical bracelets at a fraction of others on the market. Mediband has a bracelet for almost any ailment and if they don't have one for yours you can get a write on bracelet and make your own or have a Mediband plus which gives you even another option.

Piece of mind from medical and personal emergencies in a low price is just what was needed. Thank you Medibrand. 

Mediband also makes Fever Mates which is a sticker that adheres to your child's forehead so you can monitor yourchild's fever for 48 hours without getting out the thermometer to wake them up. My mother always taught me when your child sleeps they are healing, and this is one way I can make sure that my child's fever is staying down while letting them get the rest they need.

Another great product for your family.
