Pocket Portable Antenna for Survival Radio

This simple long wire (16' long) antenna will improve the reception on the short wave bands for most portable short-wave radios.  [The GP-4L has such incredible reception it doesn't really need this portable antenna except where reception is shielded, such as in a "storm" shelter or in hills that block reception.] The coil of wire just clips to the telescopic antenna. On radios with an antenna jack, it plugs right in. When you are all done you just wind it up on it's own neat coil. Perfect for travel. Spool diameter 2 3/4", 5/8" wide.

$10.95 each

The interior of the pouch is lined with Tacsoft to both cushion and protect your valuable equipment from scratches and vibration. The two way belt loops are designed for either vertical or horizontal carry. Perfect for carrying an emergency survival kit (see below), some digital cameras, etc.  Read more on this carry case by clicking here. Only $11.95

    THE MARVELOUS CLIP-LITE! 

Anyone working in a tall building should have a Clip-Lite handy at all times.  They can be clipped to a purse strap, a belt loop, a pocket in a brief case, anywhere they can be reached at all times.  If the electricity goes out in a building, how do you escape safely without a light?  The Clip-Lite is the answer.  Some department managers in New York City are now buying them by the dozen so their employees can safely evacuate if need be.  It's happened before and it will  happen again.  Be ready for the next event!   Excellent insurance for a very uncertain future!!!

HANDS-FREE LED CLIP-LITE!!!  This handy little light was designed by members of a special operations team to provide light when and where they needed it like maps, documents, simple navigation, identification. This was quickly discovered by Paramedics as the answer to their low light documentation problems and word of it's multiple uses spread from there. What make this light unique is it's eight position 360 degree rotary clip with strong jaw and thin rugged body. Two replaceable CR2018 lithium batteries for long battery life. Clips to belts, caps, shirt pockets, etc, and swivels to shine light exactly where it is needed.  EXTREMELY USEFUL BRIGHT, WHITE LIGHT, STORES AT FULL POWER UNTIL NEEDED.   Only $3.45 each.

This is the same light as the Clip Lite without the clip. It is a terrific Pocket utility light or use to renew the Clip Lite. The clip is virtually indestructible.  Remove two small Phillips screws from the backs, put the clip from the Clip Lite on the Pocket Light and replace the screws.  Bingo, a new Clip Lite for far less than the cost of new batteries!

NEW!!  "Bulletproof" Lighter!!!

Well, almost bulletproof.  Heavy gauge stainless steel construction, I think I could drive over it without damage.

The new even smaller Micro Widgy Bar!. It's still hardened D9 steel, but it's just 3" overall length. These are perfect for use on key rings so they are there when you need them. You won't lift a car with one, but when you need to pull some light nails or your box staples your Micro Widgy will save the day.  Fits perfectly on a key chain.

 NEW!!  EOD BREACHER BAR  NEW!!

EOD Robotics developed this compact breaching tool with input from Bomb Techs, SWAT Operators and Patrol Officers. All these folks need a tool for prying, cutting and pounding, and here's the answer.

Made From 1045 High Carbon Steel and Fully Heat Treated To A Rockwell Hardness of Over 45.

The EOD Robotics Breacher Bar comes ready to go as a pry bar or lever. Ideal for opening crates and even punching through steel drums etc. The coffin corner back edge lends itself to a hammer nicely.

The 2 inner holes in the handle can be for paracord or solid slabs or whatever you like. The hole towards the top of the blade and the one on the end are good for lashing it onto a shaft, tree branch etc. The end hole is geared for hanging it up or for attaching a lanyard so you do not lose it in that pit or in the water.

The top edge can be hammered on as can the back end. And then you can use your imagination to do other things with it.  - Measures 8 1/2" long, 1 1/4" wide and 7/32" thick. Weight 8.2 oz.

Although the EOD Breacher Tool was developed and designed to enter the real world of urban combat, and with a little work with a file, belt sander, grinder, stone or a rock to it could be sharpened and converted to a deadly stabbing or slashing instrument we can't recommend it. Likewise, The Flat on the handle end should not be used as a skull or rib crusher or for performing other blunt trauma. Sorry These Are Not Returnable.

Pry your way out of most anything. These were bulk packed for shipment to the military so they may have some rub marks where they have rubbed together in transit.   MADE IN USA

PLEASE CARRY AN IMMEDIATE-USE EMERGENCY KIT AT ALL TIMES

In this new era of terrorist bombings, a bandanna, a small bottle of water and a safety pin should be carried at all times.  If caught near a terrorist blast of any kind, the bandanna should be folded (or cut) into a triangle, put over the nose and mouth and tied behind the head. The safety pin will secure the knot. The bandanna should then be saturated with water. The wet cotton will filter out almost all dust and keep your nose, mouth and lungs clear of most toxic fumes and particles - including radioactive or toxic particles!  The small kit could also include a small Clip-Lite or Pocket Light so you can see your way to safety, a small razor knife for cutting bandages, curtains blocking your path, etc.  These items can all fit into the MPCC.

Remember the images of people exiting the area of the WTC buildings on 9/11 and the London bombings of 7/7, their faces covered with soot and gasping for breath?  Many of them had severe lung problems from breathing toxic fumes and inhaling dust particles.   They were not prepared!

A wet bandanna will cover the nose, mouth and neck, providing good protection from dust and debris and filtering out most toxic fumes...very simple and cheap insurance.  It's worked for cowboys caught on the open range in dust storms, and it still works today. And yes, cowboys used a safety pin to secure the knot, 'cept they didn't call it that.  Look closely at the bottom of the photo below and you will see a genuine, gold plated buckaroo "bandanna pin."   A large safety pin will work just as well.  Be sure to thoroughly wash and dry the bandanna before use to remove any starch and dust in the fabric.  When very dry and still warm, pack into a zip lock baggie and squeeze out all the air before sealing.  The bandanna will then be kept in perfect condition until needed.

A good water bottle to carry is a small but sturdy plastic bottle, such as the kind for purse carry of "Waterless Hand Cleaner" or any thin plastic bottle designed for pocket carry (rinsed and cleaned thoroughly, of course, before filling with water.). The water bottle shown above is larger, but perfect to put into a storage bin in your vehicle. The bandanna is available in department stores, most everyone has large safety pins laying about, a Clip-Lite is $3.95 and a razor knife only $1.95.  Total cost for a package small enough to always be with you  =  less than $10.00.  All of these items will fit into a Multi-Purpose Carry Case and always be available when needed and still cost less than $20.00!!!  Adding a Versadriver and Widgy Pocket Pry Bar to the small kit would make it possible to remove door hinges, pry open elevator or subway doors (or windows), etc.  The extra items are luxuries, but carried at all times they could save your life in an emergency.  At least carry a bandanna, a large safety pin and a small bottle of water.  It costs so little to save  your own lungs!

If you live in a large city and are dependent upon public transportation, please carry enough cash in your emergency pack to get home.  Do not expect ATM machines to be working!   What you have with you in your small survival/emergency pack can make the difference between safety or misery, life or death. 

"I saw the orange flames but I didn't hear it, I could barely breathe."  Chicago Fire Commissioner Raymond Orozco said 152 passengers were taken to 12 hospitals, primarily to be treated for smoke inhalation, and 33 others refused treatment,"  commenting on the Chicago subway fire on July 11, 2006.   If those subway passengers had carried a small bottle of water, a bandana and a safety pin, they would most likely not have suffered lung damage from smoke inhalation.  So simple, so cheap, and so effective.

UPDATE March 17, 2006:  In "Preparing For a Pandemic,"  Darlene Washington, the director of disease prevention education at the American Red Cross said "...we encourage families to have supplies on hand like flashlights and batteries, matches. Hand-cranked or battery-operated radios...

A recent poll finds that fewer than half of coastal residents are prepared.

"It takes just one hurricane over your house to make for a bad year," says Max Mayfield, director of the National Hurricane Center. He and his colleagues are placing an extremely high emphasis on individual preparedness, which means being able to take care of one's family unassisted for at least 72 hours.

~~~~~~Reports from the field~~~~~~

This is an outstanding radio! It picks up AM/FM stations as good as my CCradio from the ccrane company, and on shortwave as good as my Sangean. For such a small unit the sound is exceptional, the tuning is smooth and accurate, and it gets good battery life. For the price it is unbeatable.  William in Ukiah, March 9, 2006

Thanks, Miles. Once again you are incredibly quick! I have the radios in my hands already. 30 hours after I placed my order. David in Cottage Grove, November 21, 2006
