Tool Reviews
We were recently given the opportunity to review and compare a few different models of Fenix brand LED flashlights. We reviewed the Fenix; TK10, L2D, PD30 and PD20. These are mid priced, high quality lights that push a lot of light from standard size batteries. Three of these lights use the common CR123 size battery, one uses AA size batteries. We looked at three lights with 5 separate functions and beam intensities. One of these Fenix lights (the TK10) is a tactical design with two brightness intensity options and a less complicated interface. All of these lights include replacement parts and other accessories in the package when you buy them.

The always useful 550 cord (parachute cord) has many uses and will continue to have more. It's been around for many years (since WW2) and continues to be an important and useful tool. 550 cord is a Kernmantle rope which is a rope constructed with its interior core (the kern) protected with a woven exterior sheath (mantle) This design provides strength, durability, and flexibility.

We compare and contrast some popular brands Photon Micro-Light II, Photon X-Light Micro and some cheap Chinese made versions as well as some of 'give away' quality. Some are white light, some are blue or red

We made two slings (for throwing rocks) out of 550 cord. We found the idea and instructions on the EDC Forum. Both of these were easy to assemble. The tan version uses two cords, the black one was made from just one length of 550 cord. The tan two cord version is larger and longer, but either can be made larger or smaller.

I stopped in and talked with Russell the owner of Desert Surplus. He is a good guy, knows a lot about the surplus business and has done a great job of stocking his store with of the stuff you like to see in a surplus store. Like all good surplus stores the inventory is always changing so stop in often.

Another term for radio waves is radio frequency energy. The short term for that is RF. Large amounts of RF are harmful to humans. Cell phones use only a small amount of RF. But some people think that even a small amount of RF may be harmful.

This is a Samsung r500 cell phone on the Cricket service. It goes out of signal in large buildings and the owners home.. when it does work it works well and combined with crickets unlimited plans it offers a lot of useful features (when it works) the phone is solid and seems to be well built. The red panels can be replaced with another color, but the owner prefers the standard red

Perfect for protecting domestic meats, game, fish, vegetables or your personal possessions from the harmful effects that oxygen or freezer burn may cause. Uses a double piston pump system to insure an “Air Tight Seal.” Capable of 28 inches of vacuum seal that will keep food fresh 5 to 6 times longer than traditional storage methods.
