INSTANT SURVIVAL TIP: Who Needs a Flashlight?

Everyone knows that a flashlight, with extra batteries, is a must have both at home and in the car, but did you know there’s an alternative that you may like much better?  If you’ve ever tried to do something with both hands while trying

Headlamps make everything more fun!

to hold on to a flashlight, you’ll appreciate the quirky looking headlamp.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to hold a flashlight under my chin or armpit while searching for something or trying to read in the dark, and now I am a true believer in the headlamp.  It takes just a few seconds to pull it over my head, and it lights up my path or work area perfectly.  As an added bonus, these generally require just two AAA batteries, which are a whole lot easier to tuck into a pocket or backpack than a slew of those much larger C and D batteries.  Beware, though.  Your kids will love them!  You may have to keep them under lock and key to insure they can be found in an emergency.  On the other hand, they make a perfect stocking stuffer!
