yellowsprings said:I have a thing for flashlights so I have added a few more "shake" flashlights to my preps. I also purchased two more LED lanterns that were on sale.
I found a LED bulb replacement for my AA Mag flashlight at Walmart. It replaces the current bulb with three LED's. It really made a big difference in the light output! DH lusted after mine and now he wants one!
gillmanNSF said:Thanks BG for the tip. I got the cable when I got my Pro 83. I downloaded the zipfile and opened it successfully. I'll have to try it out later though. As long as you're stepping up your preps, got KI?
Next year I'm going to start them two weeks later as they're already quite leggy even with being in full sun.

Wingie said:Ok...Ok... I have been a member for a few months and have lurked for almost a year but today I actually became a full, fledged member. I went to Sam's and then to Walmart and spent about $500.00 on preps. I bought food, water, first aid.... I think I have a good start on making sure that I am prepared. My mother has been a member of this forum since '97 and she was ready for 2000. I thought she was nuts. ... and some of the family laughed at her. Now, I am one of you guys because I feel something is going to happen. I hope it isn't as bad as some of you think but I have a good start on being ready. I just thought I would let you know.... thanks for all of the tips.
Bird Guano said:Yes I keep KI around, as well as some Prussian Blue blister pack tabs I got while in Germany about a year ago.

This will be a big blessing. It means I won't ever have to worry about how to clean it during SHTF. Had to vaccuum at LEAST 2-3X a week before due to DH's and oldest son's allergies and asthma. NO more!

NBCsurvivor said:I found that forum through this forum. It really pisses me off that what I thought I knew about flashlights was really not that much (not really, very thankful actually). I have alot to learn and am stoked about maybe one day building my own.
