check out eBay for survival stuff

My kids are going to learn to make fire with flint and steel strikers! Thanks to being Scouts we already know how to make solar cookers and box ovens.

I will check it out. My husband has an eBay account so I guess it’s about time I learned to use it.

Over the years we have accumulated quite a few survival items. We have several months worth of food staples, water storage, a generator, dual-fuel stove, firewood, etc. Just having them and knowing I could go to ground for quite awhile if necessary gives me a measure of peace. It’s good to have kids learn the basics like firestarting, fishing and hunting, cooking from scratch, basic first aid. I think it gives them confidence in themselves. Hubby went through Scouts and my daughters have had six years each of campcrafting experiences.
