38 Easy Camping Meals For Breakfast, Lunch, And Dinner

By Just In Case Jack Leave a Comment

When it comes to camping, there are two schools of thought around creating meals:

It’s either,

“Hey, I’m ok being resourceful, so let’s take the minimum and catch or forage everything else!”

Or…

“We’re taking all the best foods we can fit in the cooler! If we catch something, sweet, it’ll be extra! But either way, we’ll eat like kings!”

The food philosophy camp you fall into comes down to how you prefer spending your time and energy in the great outdoors. [Read more…]

By Just In Case Jack Leave a Comment

If you’re actively researching the best walkie talkie, you’re in the right place.

Reliable communication is an essential part of any plan, whether you’re coordinating a road trip or keeping a family together in an emergency.

Cell phones are great, but we’ve all run across areas where coverage is, well…less than perfect.

Sure, you could invest in a satellite phone. But that’s not the most cost-effective option, and you may “still” run across areas where you can’t get a reliable signal.

Often, a better answer is direct, person-to-person radio communications.

Handheld personal radios (a.ka. Walkie Talkies) are dramatically better today than even ten years ago. [Read more…]
