Emergency Mylar Blanket - 62" x 82" - Pack of 12 Blankets - EB-12 Review

I have used mylar "space" blankets for the past 30 years for near innumerable projects. Want to make a solar oven? here's a tool to allow that. Increase the rating on your sleeping bag by 20 degrees (put the mylar INSIDE the bag), I've made emergency ponchos from them while backpacking. Ground cloths, signal devices, sun awnings (in this mode they help provide cooling), insulation for coolers, animal shelters, a lining for an incubator.
They don't have to wait around in your car or "read bag" to find uses! However, I carry them in each vehicle, I have one in each of my various (depending on purpose) "ready bags", in emergency kits made for the kids and in all the first aid kits in the house, vehicles, the ranch and other such haunts.
This little piece of plastic may well be one of the premier tools of all time.

Shortly after purchasing these blankets I found myself outside along the amazon river. I was cold and the bugs were biting. I remembered i packed a few of these blankets and I used on for making a tent and the other I wrapped up in, to keep warm. The next day I was able to make it back to civilization. I will always remember the night I spent with these mylar blankets, they made me a believer!

Smith & Wesson SWBG2TS Border Guard 2 Rescue Knife with 40% Serrated Tanto Blade, Glass Break, and Seatbelt Cutter, Black Review

When I received this knife I was surprised by both the size and quality. Both the blade and handle are solid, providing great weight, durability, and balance. The description states the handle is aluminum, however, I would have never known judging by its strength and weight. The blade opens with ease and locks securely in place. The handle has finger grooves and gripping material providing great slip resistance, as well as a strong durable pocket clip. I own several other Smith & Wesson knives, including Rescue Knives, and have encountered issues including the pocket clip falling off and poor quality blade/handle materials. I can say from past experience, this knife is truly a "quality" tool and puts its predecessors to shame. I am very impressed with this product and would strongly recommend it to others, as it is built to last and withstand the hardships of everyday use! A definite must have for first responders!!

Columbia River Knife And Tool's Exitool 9030 Multi Tool Review

I love the idea, unfortunately it falls off the seatbelt quite often so I'm nervous it won't be there when I go to reach for it in an emergency. The clasp to open and close it seems to hit the belt buckle when it slides around after unhooking yourself, knocking it open and onto the floor or back seat. Also the light isn't very bright, less than 10 lumans, but I can't knock it as there could easily be no light included at all.

O2-Cool Model 1054 10" Indoor/Outdoor Fan Review

O2-Cool Model 1054 10 Indoor/Outdoor Fan
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I HAD to review this after reading the only other review for this fan. I am certain I have reviewed this fan for Amazon before, but for some reason don't see it here. I use two of these fans to move air around in my 20x10 Swiss Gear tent while camping in Texas. It is made from plastic and like all other plastic products, it is breakable if you muscle your way to using it wrong, but usage is fairly straight forward. To open the leg, simply swing it down from the back of the fan on its hinge. Opening the battery compartment is fairly simple as well if you understand what lock, and unlock icons mean. The fan moves LOTS of air, and the ones I own have taken plenty of abuse being tossed into and out of the back of my truck for the last two years. My only complaint with them is the battery compartment cover is a little tough to get back on until you figure out exactly how it works, and on high it will suck an expensive set of D cell batteries down in 24 hours. If you use these a lot, I would STRONGLY recommend getting a couple of sets of rechargable D cells and a charger, OR getting the model with the built in rechargable batteries. I like that this model is also available with a transformer that you can use to run it off of 110v power, which makes camping in sites with electricity much less of a drain in the wallet! I rated this fan a 5 as I feel it is the best of its breed. It is NOT to be compared to a corded box fan or anything like that since you do different things with them. But this fan is the absolute best of its kind that I have tried. I have used several different models from Coleman, this thing moves so much more air that there really is no comparison. The Coleman fans simply do not move air like this thing does...

Experience powerful performance and convenient portability with this 10-inch fan. The versatile unit plugs into a wall outlet with the included AC adaptor for use in a bedroom or workspace, or it runs cordlessly for over 72 hours with the use of eight D cell batteries (not included), making it a nice choice when traveling or camping by the lake. The indoor/outdoor personal fan offers quiet operation, two speed settings, and the option to tilt the head to direct airflow where it's needed most. It also comes with a convenient flip-up hook and handle for flexible placement almost anywhere and a folding design that saves on space when not in use. Great for everyday cooling relief and fresh airflow, as well as emergency situations when the power's out, the portable fan measures approximately 3-2/3 by 11-8/9 by 12-1/5 inches.

Fan-Tastic Vent 01100WH Endless Breeze 12V Fan Review

I have a small Toyota RV.
Most of the 12 volt fans I have used are small and not very useful. This one is a real fan, moves a lot of air and has a current draw that my 30 watt solar panel can just about keep up with. The fan has three useful speeds.
I bought the fan to use when I can't use my air conditioner because I don't have an electric hookup and running my generator is too noisy for conditions. I now also use the fan to circulate air in my RV on really hot days even when I can run my air conditioner.
I also frequently use it outside (I have a handy 12volt plug)
The "feet" of the fan fold out of the way making it easy to store.
I am very pleased with it and and would not be without it.

Coleman Cool Zephyr Window Fan Review

Coleman Cool Zephyr Window Fan

Yes, the fan can be a little loud... but I LIKE that feature. When you're bike riding across the state of Iowa with 10,000 of your closest friends the fan can drown out all the little noises of your neighbors in their tents. But most importantly, it will keep you cool in the late July Iowa weather.
One of the best features of this fan over others like it, is that the battery pack plugs into the fan. When you break camp for the night you just unplug the battery pack and store it in your bags. With other fans the batteries remain in the fan and it is too easy for the switch to get bumped during travel leaving you with dead batteries at your next campsite.
A must have for your tent.
