I have an Olight I3S EOS on my keychain. I keep it as a backup to my main light (ZebraLight SC600 Mk IV), in case the battery died or I lost it. Sort of a two is one, one is none sort of thing. Not a fan of the light on my phone because it takes too long to get it out and use it. Gotta get the phone...

Used my Suburban for a week's worth of "camping" in northern Michigan this past fall. Nice to just be able to pull in to a campground, plug in a cord to run some lights/laptop (I stayed in RV slots in the campgrounds), put in my window blocks (foil/bubble wrap type of insulation, painted very light ...

NONE of the prices you have listed are showing or even close. They were at the time, as I was able to go out and look at them. Decided against it, since I felt that the number of calories wasn't really enough to justify the purchase, even at that reduced price. I think that the fruit one only had a...

You might check with the folks on either Candlepowerforums or Budgetlightforums. There are lots of people there who mod flashlights and would probably be able to give you some expert advice on how to disassemble/fix/reassemble your light.

Seriously $100 for 2 air filter replacements.:? That would be a bargain for my car, given that it takes about 90 minutes to do the cabin air filter. You have to remove the glove box, half of the trim on the passenger side, the fuse panel (I wish I were joking), and then deal with stacked air filter...

At $71 each, I think I'll have to find something else to use for my Devo costume...

It slipped in unnoticed but the Chinese have cancelled all tariffs on pork and soy. This is a "good faith" gesture for negotiating with the US over tariffs and has nothing to do with their population starving this winter. When I saw the news about the tariffs being cancelled and the "reason" for it...

New off road tires is on my list for my Jeep. I want to get the Patagonia M/T tires. Doing a tune up and replacing one of the upstream O2 sensors today. Trying to improve my mpg. It's brutal. I'm driving from gas station to gas station. lol. Yeah, there were two options for the Grabber A/Tx tires -...

Just got some new General Grabber A/Tx tires on my Suburban. The old tires (Bridgestone Dueller A/T) still had tread left on them, but they were very old and the previous owner stored the truck outdoors, so I decided to replace them just to be on the safe side. So far I've only driven from the shop ...

There's also the 30 Days 30 Ways preparedness challenge, with daily challenges (and an overall competition which you can enter) relating to preparedness.

Blog at: http://www.30days30ways.com/ and their Facebook page.

Welcome! It's always great to have people from other countries on the forum to give their perspective. Is there anything in particular that you're interested in from ZS?

I have a DOD TECH RX8W RX DOD Rearview Mirror Dash Camera in my car. I like that you don't really notice it because it looks like a rearview mirror. Haven't needed it yet, but I have gone back and reviewed footage of a suspicious vehicle once (turned out to be a neighbor's friend who had a sketchy c...

Welcome to ZS! There's lots of good stuff here, just hit up that search function!

Welcome to ZS Kristy! I'll echo what Halfapint asked - any areas of particular interest that you came here to find?

As for preps I bought 4 of these and along with some spare USB extension cords I had sitting around I can now String these to provide multiple sources of light in a room in the event of a power failure by using a USB battery bank. I plugged 4 in and left them on over night plugged into a 10,000 ma ...

How about a Knight XV from Conquest Vehicles? From the website: Conquest Vehicle Inc's flagship vehicle, the KNIGHT XV defines the future of the ultra-luxurious, handcrafted fully armored SUV. This one-of-a-kind, V10, 6.8-litre, Bio-fuel powered SUV was inspired by military vehicle designs and featu...

I've become interested in the arc/plasma/flameless/Tesla lighters recently and purchased one of the KOBWA lighters to try it out (sort of an electric version of a windmill lighter). If you haven't seen these lighters before, they use electricity to create a very hot plasma arc between contacts, no f...

Oh yeah, BOVs.... Just got a Stanley Power Station/Jump Starter for the primary BOV (F-150 with a cap) the other day. Now the problem will be finding a place to store it, I dedicated the front 2 feet of the truck bed for tools, fuel, and BO supplies and it's already overflowing lol It gets some mix...

BTW, I can't speak to the Zebralight headlamps, but my EDC light is a Zebralight SC600 MkIII in neutral white which I absolutely love! Fairly compact (for an 18650 light) and very bright - around 1300 lumen. I'm seriously tempted by the SC600 Mk IV+ which puts out an even more impressive 2300 lumen,...

I have two 18650 headlamps, an Armytek Wizard Pro V2 Warm and an Olight H2R. Haven't actually used the Olight as a headlamp yet, but wow is it powerful! The Armytek is no slouch, but it's something like 800 lumens compared to 2300 in the Olight. I've had the Armytek for about four years and I've use...

Michigan's lower peninsula had a bit of a scare right in the middle of the polar vortex this week. Just at the point where the temperatures had bottomed out, one of the larger natural gas compression stations (used to compress gas to send via pipelines to houses/businesses for heating purposes) suff...

Drove my BOV (2004 Suburban Z71) to work today rather than my little Mazda 3 hatchback. Started up no problem in the morning, but it was less happy about starting after spending the day in the parking lot at work. Still started up, but made some horrible groaning and moaning noises from the steering...

Man, you can go into a serious rabbit hole when thinking about what-tools-do-I-need... I'd add a few hammers, since a claw hammer is just the starting point. Ball peen hammer Handheld sledge hammer (2.5 to 4 pound) Rubber mallet Dead blow hammer Wranglerstar did a series of videos last year about th...

I'll also chime in for Frog Toggs. I used mine tonight at a movie-in-the-cemetery event where our local CERT was assisting with parking. It kept me completely dry, which is what matters with rain gear!
