Review of Thermos Stainless King 16-Ounce Food Jar
I’m a fan of vacuum thermos jars and have always stuck with larger (1 quart or more) Stanley brand jars.

Review of Energizer 7 LED Trailfinder Headlight
I recently purchased the Energizer 7 LED Trailfinder Headlight off a recommendation of Steven Harris of Solar1234.com because I was in the market for a new headlamp.

Comparison of Lanterns: Propane vs. Kerosene vs. Battery-Powered
Since I’m into lighting options these days, I figured I would compare the three most commonly used lanterns: propane, kerosene, and battery-powered to see how they stack up to each other. In this case, I’m comparing a Coleman Two-Mantle Propane Lantern, Stansport Kerosene Lantern, Rayovac Sportsman LED Lantern, and I threw in another small battery-powered…

First Look! Review of The Survival Doctor’s Guide to Burns and Guide to Wounds
I was given the privilege of reviewing two new interactive eBooks: The Survival Doctor’s Guide to Burns and The Survival Doctor’s Guide to Wounds by James Hubbard, M.D., M.P.H. (a.k.a. “The Survival Doctor”) who is also the owner of TheSurvivalDoctor.com, a site that I recommend. I should point out that I have no medical training whatsoever. In fact, I’m notorious…
