Making power lugs is easy and cheap.

These were not even close to military spec. In fact probably expired when I got them.

I bought them a long time ago. They were supposed to be Military M.R.E. With heaters. if they were sold as camping or some other kind of M.R.E. then that would be ok. But they said 100% military issue. I think they were expired M.R.E.’s and repackaged then sold as new.

I dont know why you would not buy a real seal but anything is better then dead in an emergency.

In an emergency an improvised Occlusive Dressing can be a life saver. It’s best to have a real one in your kit. they run about 25 bucks.
and you could easily make out of plastic and tape. But I carry this and a cheap extra.

Buy candles here.

Candle clocks are one of the ways that ancient people attempted to use natural phenomenon to keep accurate record of the time during the day. They consist of a long thin candle, which is marked at even intervals. When the candle is lit it burns down at a relatively steady pace, and by keeping track of which mark the flame is at, you can get a rough estimate of how much time has passed since it was lit.
As for the timer you can use any weight even coins.

You could even use incense and a ruler. Heck smokers do this all the time. A cigarette is about 5 min.

This is a 4 part video series for what I think is a great Emp , Lighting etc suppressor. Its cheap but can on,yu take one really big hit. lesser hits are ok but a bit one will destroy itself and save your equipment. Thats why its in a metal; box.

The Mov’s “Siemens S14k130” can be ordered from http://www.digikey.com/ for about .50 cents each

It’s indoor and stealth good for getting info when the power is out or a natural disaster has happened.

Stealth Antenna is good when you can’t set one up outside.
