Be ready for the next event! Excellent insurance for a very uncertain future!!!
	HANDS-FREE LED CLIP-LITE!!! This handy little light was designed by members of a special operations team to provide light when and where they needed it like maps, documents, simple navigation, identification. This was quickly discovered by Paramedics as the answer to their low light documentation problems and word of it's multiple uses spread from there. What make this light unique is it's eight position 360 degree rotary clip with strong jaw and thin rugged body. Two replaceable CR2018 lithium batteries for long battery life . Clips to belts, caps, shirt pockets, etc, and swivels to shine light exactly where it is needed. EXTREMELY USEFUL BRIGHT, WHITE LIGHT, STORES AT FULL POWER. Orange color for high visibility applications.

LED POCKET LIGHT
White light shines an astonishingly bright beam illuminating any path. Easily attaches to key ring or zipper. Makes it possible to always have light. Renews your Clip Lite! Less expensive by far than buying batteries at a hardware store.

	This is the same light as the Clip Lite without the clip. It is a terrific Pocket utility light or use to renew the Clip Lite. The clip is virtually indestructible. Remove two small Phillips screws from the backs, put the clip from the Clip Lite on the Pocket Light and replace the screws. Bingo, a new Clip Lite for far less than the cost of new batteries!

PLEASE CARRY AN IMMEDIATE-USE EMERGENCY KIT AT ALL TIMES

In this new era of terrorist bombings, a bandanna, a small bottle of water and a safety pin should be carried at all times. If caught near a terrorist blast of any kind, the bandanna should be folded (or cut) into a triangle, put over the nose and mouth and tied behind the head. The safety pin will secure the knot. The bandanna should then be saturated with water. The wet cotton will filter out almost all dust and keep your nose, mouth and lungs clear of most toxic fumes and particles - including radioactive or toxic particles! The small kit could also include a small Clip-Lite or Pocket Light so you can see your way to safety, a small razor knife for cutting bandages, curtains blocking your path, etc. These items can all fit into the PCC.

Remember the images of people exiting the area of the WTC buildings on 9/11 and the London bombings of 7/7, their faces covered with soot and gasping for breath? Many of them had severe lung problems from breathing toxic fumes and inhaling dust particles. They were not prepared!

A wet bandanna will cover the nose, mouth and neck, providing good protection from dust and debris and filtering out most toxic fumes...very simple and cheap insurance. It's worked for cowboys caught on the open range in dust storms, and it still works today. And yes, cowboys used a safety pin to secure the knot, 'cept they didn't call it that. Look closely at the bottom of the photo below and you will see a genuine, gold plated buckaroo "bandanna pin." A large safety pin will work just as well. Be sure to thoroughly wash and dry the bandanna before use to remove any starch and dust in the fabric. When very dry and still warm, pack into a zip lock baggie and squeeze out all the air before sealing. The bandanna will then be kept in perfect condition until needed.

A good water bottle to carry is a small but sturdy plastic bottle, such as the kind for purse carry of "Waterless Hand Cleaner" or any thin plastic bottle designed for pocket carry (rinsed and cleaned thoroughly, of course, before filling with water.). The water bottle shown above is larger, but perfect to put into a storage bin in your vehicle. The bandanna is available in department stores, most everyone has large safety pins laying about, a Clip-Lite is $3.95 and a razor knife only $1.95. Total cost for a package small enough to always be with you = less than $10.00. All of these items will fit into a Personal Carry Case and always be available when needed and still cost less than $20.00!!! Adding a Widgy Pocket Pry Bar and Screw Keys to the small kit would make it possible to remove door hinges, pry open elevator or subway doors (or windows), etc. The extra items are luxuries, but carried at all times they could save your life in an emergency. At least carry a bandanna, a large safety pin and a small bottle of water. It costs so little to save your own lungs!

If you must have nourishment available to expend the energy to hike long distances, consider packing a very small vial of corn meal and another of honey. A teaspoon of corn meal will expand in your stomach and eliminate hunger cramping. A teaspoon of honey will provide energy and electrolytes. They must be taken with adequate water. Those small quantities taken once an hour provide enough energy to keep you going when otherwise you would become too weak to keep moving.

If you live in a large city and are dependent upon public transportation, please carry enough cash in your emergency pack to get home IF transportation services are available. Do not expect ATM machines to be working! What you have with you in your small survival/emergency pack can make the difference between safety or misery, life or death.

"I saw the orange flames but I didn't hear it, I could barely breathe." Chicago Fire Commissioner Raymond Orozco said 152 passengers were taken to 12 hospitals, primarily to be treated for smoke inhalation, and 33 others refused treatment," commenting on the Chicago subway fire on July 11, 2006. If those subway passengers had carried a small bottle of water, a bandana and a safety pin, they would most likely not have suffered lung damage from smoke inhalation. So simple, so cheap, and so effective.

SHIPPING GUIDELINES - US and OVERSEAS

SHIPPING WITHIN United States
All orders shipped quickly via U.S. Postal Service, First Class (up to 13 oz) or Priority Mail. Please enter your POSTAL DELIVERY ADDRESS for Postal mail delivery - NOT package delivery:
I do not use United Parcel Service. Postage rates are shown on the Mail Order Form page.
Please note that postage prices took a huge jump on Jan. 26, 2013. Priority Flat rate to Canada went from $12.95 to $19.95, and Priority Flat Rate to Europe went from $16.95 to $23.95. First Class mail costs jumped 60%. I have no choice but to raise my postage rates. Rates also increased for domestic delivery.

PRIORITY or First Class mailing BEYOND NORTH AMERICA
I mail worldwide (where there is a good possibility of having packages actually delivered). Nothing shipped to Africa (except S.A. & Namibia), the Philippines, Indonesia, India OR RUSSIA; (See Shipping & Warranty.)
Philippines orders - There is a mail agent for reliable delivery. Email me for details.
No EOD Breacher Bars or Mid-Breach Bars to The Netherlands - not legal in The Netherlands.

Express Mail claims delivery overseas and Canada within 3 to 5 days. Express Mail to Canada is $29.25 and to Europe is $38.00. If you wish an upgrade to Express Mail send me an email and I can send an invoice via PayPal email for the difference in postage costs.

All orders mailed every day about noon except Sunday and holidays - no backlog, ever. If delivery is slow it is because of delays in your customs and delivery offices. Packages do eventually clear customs, but it can take some time. Please be patient!!! Slow delivery is not my fault! Orders mailed to Australia and New Zealand often arrive in less than a week. For comparison, German customs in particular is now delaying packages for up to five (5) weeks while denying they have the packages. All packages sent to Germany have the invoice on the back of the package to warm the hearts of customs agents.

International Buyers - Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included
in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
Please check with your country's customs office to determine these additional costs, if any.
Customs label show exact value of contents, contents labeled as "tools," in a plain package.
If you wish your order split into several packages to lessen or avoid import fees/taxes,
send me an e-mail quickly after ordering.

Overseas orders: If you have problems with importing, such as slow delivery time, getting packages through customs and reliable delivery due to sticky-fingered national postal service employees, a freight forwarder can often be of help. One such service is Myus.com and another is Goopping. Check their rates. I would ship to their US address in Florida at lower cost and they would handle delivery to you at much greater cost.

Sorry it is complicated, but the items range from very light to quite heavy and postage is calculated by the amount of purchase, not the item.

UPDATE March 17, 2006: In "Preparing For a Pandemic," Darlene Washington, the director of disease prevention education at the American Red Cross said "...we encourage families to have supplies on hand like flashlights and batteries, matches. Hand-cranked or battery-operated radios...

A recent poll finds that fewer than half of coastal residents are prepared.

"It takes just one hurricane over your house to make for a bad year," says Max Mayfield, director of the National Hurricane Center. He and his colleagues are placing an extremely high emphasis on individual preparedness, which means being able to take care of one's family unassisted for at least 72 hours.

~~~~~~Reports from the field~~~~~~

This is an outstanding radio! It picks up AM/FM stations as good as my CCradio from the ccrane company, and on shortwave as good as my Sangean. For such a small unit the sound is exceptional, the tuning is smooth and accurate, and it gets good battery life. For the price it is unbeatable. William in Ukiah, March 9, 2006

~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks, Miles. Once again you are incredibly quick! I have the radios in my hands already. 30 hours after I placed my order. David in Cottage Grove, November 21, 2006

FEEDBACK

Selected, representative feedback (and questions) from customers of the Survival Shop

~~~~~8.30.12

I just received my order, and I wanted to offer my thanks for your speed in shipping as well as commending you for carrying a wide array of useful products at reasonable prices. Most all the goods you carry are found elsewhere at 50% higher prices, if not double what you sell them for...and I salute you for choosing to provide your customers affordable prices instead of trying to squeeze every extra buck you can out of them. Eddie J., Ohio

~~~~~5.30.12

I see that you are offering more products I might find useful, including the Brass Flint Wheel Sparker and the Emergency Fire Starter Kit, which includes fire cubes. Can you tell me how many fire cubes are included, and if they're factory fresh? I've been reading that these can have some problems with short shelf life. Thank you, William

Answer

I too have seen the degradation of triox fire cubes. All of the "cooking cubes" I have seen have a limited lifespan.

What I am using consists of two cubes, comprised of highly compressed brown paper which has been infused with paraffin. They are for starting fires, not cooking, and have unlimited shelf life. There is also a quantity of fuzz of the same material in each package. The material is impervious to absorption of moisture.

Each cube can be broken into quarters. There is enough fuzz to start each of the resulting eight cubes. Each cube will burn for approximately 10 minutes, easily long enough to ignite small sticks and twigs broken from the sides of trees or other dry debris.

In addition to the cubes and fuzz there is a packet of 0000 steel wool. Pieces of the steel wool can be expanded, wrapped around dry native tinder material (or the fire cubes) and be ignited with the flint wheel sparker. Both must be blown upon to burst into a blaze after being started with the sparker.

The tinned box fire starter kit is full. Removing some of the steel wool could result in enough space for an AAA Delrin battery locker filled with naptha lighter fluid, if desired. I have only tested for evaporation of naptha in a Delrin capsule for six months but it should last considerably longer than that.
