A Review of the Jackery 500 and 1000 Power Center

Some of you have read my reviews of Jackery products. I continue to test them and use them on the farm because they have been very reliable sturdy.

Lighters For Prepping and Survival

Lighters are an excellent item to have on hand. Matt and I are fans of keeping a bunch of Bic lighters on hand.
