Sometimes you see a product and think this has to be the greatest thing ever made. When I saw Real bacon Snack Nuggets and in Jalapeno flavor my knees became weak. I have a deep love of bacon. It might be the most perfect food ever made. Jalapenos are up there too. Combining the two in a snack form…Pure genius. In theory anyway. Want to know how this perfect combination of flavors actually stacks up?
Sometimes I try my crazy ideas and they sort of work. Today I have a project for you that is super easy and works perfectly. I got this idea from watching a Nutnfancy video on YouTube. He was wearing a headlamp band from Fenix that hold a flashlight. I thought what a great idea. Instead of using a separate headlamp (which I own a few of) you could use you nice EDC flashlight. I have a Streamlight that gives off 190 lumens, way brighter than any of my headlamps and with more features. The Fenix one looks nice with plastic and adjustments, it also looks heavy. I decided to make one that way simple and light
I’m going to continue the money series I have going on this week. What prompted today’s article was a trip to the gas station last night. I woke up with a terrible headache and needed caffeine. I grabbed a drink and ran my debit card. The machine just sat there doing nothing. The cashier said to run it again. I repeated and still the machine sat there doing nothing. The clerk told me to try it again that it said the network was down. I have another debit card i could have used but I also have cash on me. Problem solved, I gave the man a $20 and was done.
I realized that I have done two article this week on money related issues. Since I’m a very frugal guy I decided to keep this trend going a bit longer. Today I’m going to show you how you can get prepared for enjoying the winter months outside without freezing and on a budget.I’m going to focus on wool but will throw in a few others to round out the list. So lets get into the basics of saving money while keeping warm and protected during the cold and wet months.
Before I got into the prepper/ Survival movement my savings and investments were scarce to say the least. I was easily one of the “sheeple” With no savings account at all, nothing contributed into 401(K) or any retirement plans. I, like many lived from paycheck to paycheck and was utterly screwed if an emergency came up. Since then I’ve gotten smart. I have contributed to a retirement plan. Although I’ve hated it for now to invest stronger in another area. I have a emergency fund with almost 2 grand in it. I have some money in stocks that I keep an eye on to sale quickly if needed. I keep some money in cash stashed in various locations in various denominations. This is somewhat depleted at the moment and I’m going to focus on building it. My favorite investment though and the one that has proven the most profitable has been Silver.
