My Favorite Flashlight
This Surefire E2L Outdoorsman flashlight never ceases to amaze me. It's small, built like a piece of military hardware and is incredibly powerful. I took this on a vacation to Arizona and was able to illuminate the rock wall on the other side of a small canyon at night. Shine it in someone's face and it is blinding. Our favorite thing to do with the Surefire at home is charge the glow-in-the-dark eyes of a stuffed toy ghost. The glow afterwards from its eyes is bright enough to see by in a dark room. The flashlight runs on special Lithium batteries that I haven't had to replace yet (had it for a year now) but I bought a box of 12 from Surefire for $21. Best thing about the batteries is they have a shelf life of 10 years. Surefire sells a wide variety of flashlights but I'm quite happy with the one I got. This is a great addition to any emergency kit!
I started this blog to share with others in the New York-metro area the products I've purchased and the things I've learned in my ongoing process of preparing for any natural or man-made disasters that may happen to us. I also hope to get feedback from those who read this blog and may have advice, tips, and products to recommend. You can also email me directly at: disasterreadynyc@gmail.com. Stay safe!
