January Emergency Items Orders

Smoke detector. This one has both an ionization and photoelectric smoke sensors.
After the fairly recent scare of a bad outlet that could have caused a fire, I 
decided I'd better get one of these. The one in here didn't work anymore - I've tried it.
A new smoke detector it is then. 
 
The camper had an old rusty fire extinguisher in it so I just got this one.
Should be here in a few days. I've been reading were most people
do not have a fire extinguisher... I love to have them around but 
the recent scare prompted me to check the one in here closer and who knows how
old it was and if it really would have worked or not... it was a rusty canister. 
A new one it is then.

An old outlet was the cause of a recent scare and this exact surge protector was
in that outlet. Well, the wiring was checked and it's fine - the scary outlet
was replaced. But the surge protector was fried. It protected what was plugged into it, 
so that mean the protector adsorbed the electricity as it should. I've ordered another
surge protector just like I had. IF it happens again in this same outlet, I will have to blame a faulty 
900 joules Belkin surge protector - the wiring checked out fine and the outlet replaced. 



Well, this one is suppose to be a solar light with a battery backup. You can use the battery
or the stored solar energy in it  to light up and area. Water proof it says as well. 
I got it for the porch - it's extremely dark on the porch at night unless it's around
 the time of the full moon - as long as the moon isn't blocked. Anyway,
this might work for my needs. I'll know when I get it in, set it in the sun 
and try to use it that night.  Should work for when the electric goes out too. 


Yea, finally a decent thermos. I've had cheap ones in the past that never kept the coffee
hot nor the cold drinks cold - I mainly want this for coffee. When storms are heading
to this area that's when I want to be awake and alert during the bad storms. So when
that storm is on it's way I can make coffee ahead of time and use this baby to put it in. 
Many times here the electric is out during bad weather and that's when I always 
get a hankering for coffee. LOL. Of course, this one I can travel with too. 


A travel tumbler/thermos. This one is good for hot and cold drinks and has good 
reviews. I can one again have a to go tumbler - this one has a place in the lid so you 
can drink out if it. Just hope it works as well as others have said. 

Laugh at me all you want too about my "emergency coffee items" but
this one can be used over a campfire outdoors. 
I LOVE PERKED COFFEE! And have been wanting a peculator for 
quite a long time now - so I'm getting one. 
Of course the filters for it. I could have got one pack of these but
this 3 pack with 100 filters in each was only $2 on Amazon. I got the better deal. LOL.



Batteries, batteries and more batteries. For the smoke detector, flashlights, 
and other things. Was running low on them.
