Item to add to your emergency prep kit

What a great product to add to your emergency kits for each member of your family. We all want clean water to drink but we all know it is getting harder and harder to find.

Great for hikers, survivalists, campers, and for emergency situations.

What a neat product to have on hand, much easier then storing gallons and gallons of water, purification pills, and the like.

There are lots of sites that list emergency preparation kits and I don't think I have ever seen this on one before.

What my husband has to say about this product.

Training your puppy or adult dog

We had a great dog whistle but because of it being so little we lost it, with this dog whistle from Pet Vitalix, I don't have to worry about losing it because it comes with a lanyard.

I also like that it comes with a Pet ID-tag that just in case my dog gets loose someone will be able to get her back to me safe and sound.


I also love how it comes with an instruction guide. We even learned a few new things reading this.

It is never to late to teach an old dog new tricks.

Kitchen peelers

Having a peeler handy can really help out with food preparation. If you have children helping out this kind of peeler is much easier to use then a paring knife.

I think all of my children started with a peeler just like this, minus the sharp spike which is great to use to crack eggs open by the way.

I usually just crack my eggs in one hand while baking, but my children are still learning and this helps them out greatly in cracking eggs.

Love that this is easy to clean and store. We keep our peelers right in our utensil turntable on the counter for easy access.



You can purchase the SIWU Vegetable and Fruit peeler on Amazon.

What SIWU has to say abou their product.

Ergonomically designed handle has a pleasing heft in your hand and is constructed of durable metal with a brushed satin finish.Streamlined profile adds a contemporary touch to your kitchen décor. Weighs a solid 2.6 ounces and measures a little over 6 inches long. Cutting blade measures 1.75 inches across

Unlike other peelers, the ultra sharp stainless steel cutting blade is mounted in metal (not plastic) for long-lasting durability. Nonslip black plastic ribbing on the top of handle gives you a firm grip for professional-style peeling. The blade is positioned perpendicular to the handle to make the most efficient slicing motion. So you can julienne and peel like the pros!

It's super easy to cut eyes out of a potato with the handy micro triangular knife point on the side of the peeler. You can also use it to knick the rinds of oranges, lemons, and other citrus fruits for easy peeling.
Peel vegetables and fruits with remarkable ease to cut down on your preparation time so you can focus on creating fabulous, tasty, healthy meals. Dishwasher safe for easy clean up.
