SOLAR

 

 

Sun Oven  -- Ed Begley out in the yard using his trusty Sun Oven.

 

SUN OVEN

We've used our Sun Oven for nearly 20 years and it's still going strong. This is a great way to cook with the sun, and this is the best commercial solar oven we've seen. If there's an emergency and you don't have gas, you can cook during the day with this oven. If you can't make a fire, you can cook with this oven. And it's portable, with a handle. We've taken it on car-camping trips. Though some lower-quality solar ovens take a long time to work, this one has gotten up to 350 degrees f. on a summer day! This means that it takes no longer to cook in this oven as it does to cook with a conventional gas stove. This is a "must-have" addition to your home preparedness gear, and it's something you can use every day to demonstrate the power of the sun. Remember: A solution to our problems rises every morning. Suggested retail is $349, we sell it for $269. Shipping to your home is $32.85 if you live in the contiguous United States.  

 

$269 + $32.85 Shipping.

WILD-CRAFTING

 

FLORIAN RATCHET CLIPPERS

These are the original ratchet clippers that make it easy to cut wood and branches.  They are great in the garden, and in the field.  If you have been on Christopher's outings, he is using these all the time to make clean cuts to cut plants for food, or mulefat for hand drills and arrow shafts, or willow for bow drills, etc. etc. etc.  If you want a quality pair of clippers for long-term hard use, these are the ones you want.  Yes, you can buy cheaper knock-offs, but they won't last like these.

 $34, traditional yellow

WATER-PURIFICATION

 

 

 

TIMBERLINE WATER FILTER.  This is a low-cost water filter that is easy to use, and easy to carry.   It will purify water from giardia, and othe biological contaminants.  The filter element can be replaced so you don't need to purchase an entirely new unit.  

$26

 

 

 

IODINE CRYSTALS FOR WATER PURIFICATION.  You receive 1/4 tsp. iodine crystals in a glass bottle, with instructions for purifying water. This is the best chemical method of water purification. (Obviously, boiling is best when you can make a fire).

$17
