The contest is now closed, but go on ahead and read about these great survival/preparedness products!

Today is my birthday, and we have some fun family plans, but I’m just as excited about giving away a massive number of great Radio Shack survival products!  Now, pay attention because in order to enter the giveaway and have a chance of winning is to let me know which product you want and why.

The Blackout Buddy

First, I have three Blackout Buddies to give away.  These are cute, white emergency LED flashlights that plug into any electrical socket which not only keeps the flashlight charged but at night, it serves as a nightlight.  When there’s a power failure or blackout, it automatically lights up.  These would be great placed in a hallway, a child’s room, or a master bedroom.  They would also be an excellent addition to the home of a senior citizen, providing a nightlight and an easy-to-find and always-charged flashlight.  A donation is made to American Red Cross with each purchase.

The ICON Flashlight Rogue 2

The next product is already popular in my house, and I have two to give away.  It’s the ICON Flashlight Rogue 2 .  This is a smaller size flashlight with an intense LED light and an “aerospace grade” aluminum case.  It offers hi and low lighting levels (100/10 lumens) and is very well designed.  An oversized rubber O-ring washer provides a water-resistant light.  Simply put, it’s just a very well designed flashlight that offers all the features recommended by survival experts.  I think it’s just the right size to keep in the car, an outside pocket of a backpack, or even your purse.

The Enercell Portable Power Bank

My very favorite product of the batch, I think, is the Enercell Portable Power Bank.  I’ve been using this for two weeks and so appreciate having a charge for my cell phone, even when I’m far away from a charger or electrical outlet.  Here is how the Enercell works.  I plug it into my laptop computer via its USB port, and when I see four green lights on the indicator, the power bank is fully charged.  Its lithium battery loses only about 5% of the original charge each month, so it’s ideal for keeping in a Bug Out Bag or 72 Hour Kit.  I’ve been keeping the charged Enercell in my computer bag so I always have a way to recharge my phone no matter where I am.

I have two models to give away.  One is designed specifically for iPod and iPhones only, and the other adds some adapters so it can be used to charge mp3 players, a digital camera, and other phones that have either a mini USB or micro USB outlet.  This second model also comes with an Apple® cable.  If you want one of these Enercells, let me know if you want one that is iPod/iPhone only or the one that can charge multiple electronics.  THIS IS IMPORTANT because I’d really hate to send you one that only functions with iPod/IPhone if you don’t own those products.  These Enercells retail for either $29.99 (iPod/iPhone) or $49.99 for the one with the Apple cable and the additional adapters.  I have several of these to give away!

The Radio Shack Desktop Weather Radio with SAME Alerts

Finally, I’m giving away one RadioShack® Desktop Weather Radio with SAME Alerts.  SAME stands for Specific Area Message Encoding.  When you enter your zip code, you’ll receive weather-related warnings and announcements.  This could be a huge advantage during a severe weather situation, because this radio will deliver local warnings a few minutes earlier than TV and radio warnings, giving you more time to prepare.   It has an AM/FM radio and an alarm clock feature.  This radio retails for $79.99.
