Legacy Food Storage 72 Hour Food Kit: Enchilada Beans And Rice Review
This week we’re taking a look at another Legacy Foods 72-Hour Kit option which I introduced last week here, specifically the Enchilada Beans and Rice meal: And the backside of the package: I should point out that last week I said that I wasn’t sure if any of the meals in the 72-hour kit were…

Solar powered lights are all the rage these days, aren’t they? I know I have a few myself and even one made by the folks who created this new inflatable solar lantern that charges your cell phone too. I know the post talks about this being a prototype and that you can back it as…
