Luci Inflatable Solar Lantern for Camping, Hiking, Preparedness
Perhaps by now you’ve seen the Luci Inflatable Solar Lantern by Mpowered. I was sent one for review and so I’ll offer my opinion on it for emergency preparedness here… The solar lantern comes in a small package and, in fact, collapses down to a very small size which makes it nice for tossing into…
Don’t be Afraid of the Dark! SHTF Lighting Solutions
As preppers we like to be prepared for nearly anything and that includes life without electricity… a wonderful invention that has reliably lit up the dark of night for generations now. But, as preppers, we also know that the power grid is relatively fragile and certainly won’t be there (at least not reliably) during an lengthy SHTF…
SunJack Solar Charger and CampLight: Perfect Camping and Bug Out Power and Lighting Solution!
I was sent this SunJack Solar Charger not long ago for review along with the SunJack CampLight (sold separately). Since then I had the opportunity to test out the SunJack Solar Charger (and CampLight) a bit since then I can say that I’m quite impressed. Granted, I’ve never owned a portable solar panel like this one so this…
Champ Bodyguard Battery: Power Bank, Flashlight, Siren
It seems that small portable power banks are all the rage these days and to an extent they should be. After all, they can be used to recharge one of your most useful assets during an emergency: the cell phone. Now, I know there are people who say you shouldn’t rely on a cell phone and…
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
Last week I reviewed the Blackfire Clamplight Waterproof flashlight which I liked an awful lot. If you’re looking for a quality clamping light, that’s the one to get. This week I got to review the Blackfire Clamplight Emergency 100-Lumen LED Flashlight which you might call the “little brother” flashlight. Because I had such a good…
Blackfire Clamplight Waterproof LED Light: 170 Lumens, 360 Degree Swivel
A few weeks back I received this Blacklight Clamplight to review. As I’ve never owned a quality clamping light before (I have owned poorly made ones) I said “sure” and have begun to really like it! Though I still prefer a quality headlamp for survival situations such as a bug out, these clamp lights are nice…
D.Light LED Solar Rechargeable S20 Area Lantern Review: Great Buy for <$20!
During out last camping trip I finally had a good change to use this d.light S20 lantern I’d purchased a while back. I was excited about it since the lantern was less than $20 shipped and promised good things. 🙂 Here’s my take on the lantern… Battery Life The website’s info states that the S20 can be…
