Emergency Weather Radio: Champ Survival Skybox
Once upon a time I had purchased an Eton Emergency Weather Radio and I wasn’t very impressed for the $50 I spent. Sure it had all the bells and whistles but there was something about it that I didn’t like… perhaps the hand crank, I don’t know. Seems I got rid of it –probably gave…

Blackfire Clamplight Emergency 100-Lumen LED Flashlight

LED Solar Rechargeable Area Lantern: D.Light S20
This D.Light Solar Lantern (the d.Light S20 Lantern to be specific) was brought to my attention by the Rev. Dr. Harris who occasionally comments here.

Dorcy LED Headlamps: Remarkably Nice Lights for Hiking, Camping, Bug Out, and More
I was sent two Dorcy LED headlight flashlights–I prefer to call them headlamps– the 41-2096 and 41-2097 a few weeks back to review and, to be frank, I’m glad I got them. They’re quite nice for the cost (at less than $20 each) and may likely supplant my current favorite headlamp, the Energizer Pro 7.…
