I have never been a weapons light guy. No idea why not. Maybe it was simply for lack of having used one. With the Olight Pl-1 II Valkyrie (Amazon Link) things might have changed. 

Used to be there were little choices in firearms lights. You had Surefire lights and junk not to be trusted. Surefire was the standard in high-quality lights. And they charged for it too. 

Then companies Like Olight and Foursevens started to innovate. Whereas the Surefire rested on its laurels and overcharged. 

That is why I have never owned a Surefire. And why at this time Olight is my top pick for all my flashlight needs. 

Let’s get into the Olight Pl-1 II Valkyrie and why you might want to add it to your preps.

Survival Hax Self Inflating Sleeping Pad Review

The fine folks at Survival Hax sent me this self-inflating sleeping pad for review. Although sleeping pads are not as cool as some other BOB items they are one of the most important. 

When I began building my first Bug Out Bag many years ago a sleeping mat was one of the first things I ever bought. For a very important reason. That reason is maintaining core body temperature and staying alive. 

If you sleep on the ground or in a hammock without insulation beneath you will rapidly lose heat. Conduction is the method you loose heat on the ground. 

When you come into contact with another surface heat transfer will occur. Transfer to a solid object will occur much more effectively than in air. 

So to achieve the first rule of survival we have to prevent this heat loss. Sleeping pads are an effective way to accomplish this.

Keto CaNa Review Get The Focus And Energy You Need

Can you get the benefits of being in ketosis without eating a ketogenic diet? With Keto CaNa you can. What is Keto CaNa from Keto Sports and Why would you want some?

You have heard me talk about how being in ketosis is the best for survival. Being in A state of ketosis is optimal for long term and short term disasters.

Hell, it is healthiest to be  in ketosis most the time. I advocate going in and out of ketosis. This more closely mimics the way our ancestors would have lived. 

Being in ketosis you have more energy and focus than a system with excess glucose. This I believe is an evolutionary adaptation. Without food, the body begins to convert stored fat into ketones for the brain and body to run on. 

The brain runs exceptionally well on ketones. Which makes sense that the brain would want to work better when starving.
