Having a dependable source of light in a survival situation is not just a “good idea”; it’s an essential one.

Not only can it light your way through the deep dark woods or an abandoned warehouse, but it’s an important morale booster.

Light acts like a security blanket in times of uncertainty.

Something to keep your mind strong and hope alive – when all it wants to do is freak out.

It’s sort of like fire in that way…

So it’s no surprise we get a lot of questions about what’s the best survival light source. [Read more…]

Fire PistonWhen it comes to survival skills, making fire is one of the most important.

Fire gives us the ability to:

  • Keep warm and dry,
  • Cook food and sterilize water
  • Make signals during the day and at night

Humans also show a psychological boost from fires. This moral booster can help to increase your odds of surviving an emergency.

With all these benefits, it’s easy to see why we spend a lot of time (and money) to ensure we can always make a fire.

Today, there are hundreds of tools designed to ensure your fire making skills. Tools range from survival lighters to solar mirrors. [Read more…]

Solar Ovens & Solar CookersLet me just say – there’s something incredibly satisfying about cooking a meal with the power of the sun.

I enjoy using human ingenuity to capture a little bit of the sun to put warm food in my belly.

And I like knowing that if the power grid were to go down for a long time, I’d still have a way to cook a meal.

Sure, you could cook a meal using fire, but solar ovens don’t require any “extra” resources.

It’s using the “free,” virtually unlimited, readily available fuel and putting it to good use. [Read more…]

No matter how nice your sleeping pad is, getting up and down off the floor is becoming a real pain in the…

But you don’t need to buy an expensive RV in order to eliminate this hassle, instead, you just need a quality camping cot.
