Flash Alert: Sears in American Fork closing
Sears is closing it's <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=sears+american+fork,+utah&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=90.209462,81.035156&ie=UTF8&ll=40.378623,-111.813312&spn=0.044886,0.039568&z=15&iwloc=A">store in American Fork</a>. A third of the store is already empty. I was there last night and it appeared that everything was thirty to sixty percent off. I was able to get bunch of batteries and toilet paper. Their prices are higher than Walmart to begin with so I am not sure how much of a deal it really is, but even saving a little is worth a trip when buying in bulk. Other things I saw while there were tents, canopies, air compressors, tools, and clothing.

Review: Volcano Stove II
Last week I had the opportunity to get in on a group buy for the <a href="http://www.volcanogrills.com">Volcano II stove</a>. (Sorry, I would have shared the details but I found out about it <em>very</em> last minute and barely made it in myself!) I had heard good things about this stove, and after a brief review of its features and online ratings, I decided to acquire one.

Are You CERTified?
Too often I feel that we get into a "bug out" mentality that leads us to think we'll be fending for ourselves in all circumstances, always looking out for number one.

Emergency home heat
My next preparation project was obtaining an emergency heat source. This is a purchase that I have been researching and planning for a quite a while now, wanting to make sure that I had adequately weighed options and made the best choice. There are a lot of factors to consider including the size and shape of the ares you want to heat, portability, direct verse ambient heat, ease of use, safety, ventilation, and fuel source.

Prepping for and Surviving an Airplane Crash
<img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-982" title="plane-crash-2" src="/images/uploads/2009/01/plane-crash-2-150x102.jpg" alt="plane-crash-2" width="150" height="102" />Yesterday's incident of a crash landing on the Hudson River where there was a 100% survival rate got me thinking about airplane crash survival and prep. Apparently several others were thinking about it too, there are several articles out in the last (less than) 24 hours about surviving a plane crash. Hopefully I can provide a useful summary and some fresh thought on this topic.

SOS Sportster Solar Oven
I ordered a Solar Oven Society Sportster Oven with optional reflectors on a Monday and it arrived on my door step a precisely one week later. My neighbor has a Global Sun Oven, but hasn't used it. Not having any experience with this subject, and not knowing anyone who had used one, I performed some research online.

Vision Prep - storing eyeglasses
<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-903" title="nerdyguy02" src="/images/uploads/2009/01/nerdyguy02.jpg" alt="nerdyguy02" width="154" height="154" />If you're like me and can't quite make out that big E on the eye chart from 5 feet away without vision correction or even if you're not quite that bad, this post is for you. Probably everyone that wears vision correction has thought about having a backup, but what about 5 backups? One backup is great for if you break or lose your glasses/contacts, that's a great prep to have. But what if we're in a TEOTWAWKI situation and you can't get new glasses at all for a very long time? It costs a lot to get replacement glasses and it's a huge investment - usually - now enter <a href="http://www.zennioptical.com/cart/home.php">Zenni Optical</a>.
