Emergency Survival Kit 2 Pack by True Valor ~ Don't go hiking, camping or Scouting without this cool Kit! #TBLSurvivalKit









Emergency survival kit two pack by True Valor.








These grenade style survival kits are a must have for any outdoor enthusiast. These kits fit in your pocket or clip them to your bag or belt loop.



The carabiner is easily removed and the whistle is ready to use at any time. 10 feet of paracord wrapped tightly around all of your essential tools.



A fantastic gift for any hiker, camper, survivalist, boy scout, or american hertitage girl go bag bugout bag. Makes a great stocking stuffer too.




* These kits are wrapped very tightly and

should not be unraveled until necessary as re-braiding the paracord is a practiced skill .




* The contents of these kits are all wrapped in an additional piece of aluminum foil to keep them together. A small resealable bag is also inside the kit, in which all contents of kit can be kept if unraveling and use of the kit becomes necessary




* Several tools in the kit are very sharp and the weights are made of lead. Not recommended for children to use contents of the survival kit. Wash hands after use of these tools.




* Paracord is very strong but the paracord and carabiner are not intended for climbing



Review:

Ok I have to be completely honest - I did not take one apart because I plan to keep using it as an emergency kit for our Boy Scout and AHG outings.  We have another campout and hike coming up and I didn't want to try to figure out how to get it put back together! LOL



These tightly woven kits are amazing.  Them come ready to use . . . a carabiner on top to clip it to a backpack, belt loop or string, an emergency whistle hanging on the bottom in a bright orange easy to see color . . . and in between! you guessed it - lots of great emergency gear all tightly wrapped up inside a 10 ft long paracord.



The kit is strong and tightly wound so nothing will come out until intended.  Inside the paracord grenade is a large amount of emergency items.





Included is:

10 feet of paracord

Emergency whistle

carabiner

fire starter and tinder

knife (safely wrapped)

alcohol pad

aluminum foil

needle

2 safety pins

fishing line

fishing hooks, floats, weights and swivels

iron wire





This is a wonderful kit to have on hand in any outdoor emergency.  From day hikes to backpacking cross country.  From overnight campouts to high adventure.  A must have item for any outdoorsman (or woman).  Check out more info here.

Even before this adorable little bear jumps our of bed, he begins his day by thanking the Lord for Everything around him.  All throughout his daily adventures he continues to be thankful.  "Thank You, Lord, for Everything" is a wonderful padded board book for young children with colorful and delightful illustrations that helps teach them the value of being thankful.  It is a sweet rhyming book that is sure to be a favorite of little ones and their parents/grandparents too.

Don't Judge this book by it's cover! The Time Garden: A Magical Journey and Coloring Book {review}







A dazzlingly beautiful coloring book for all ages, The Time Garden will sweep you away into a whimsical cuckoo clock–inspired world, created in intricate pen and ink by the internationally best-selling Korean artist Daria Song. 



Journey through the doors of a mysterious cuckoo clock into its inky innerworkings to discover a magical land of clock gears, rooftops, starry skies, and giant flying owls—all ready for you to customize with whatever colors you can dream up.



Cuckoo . . . cuckoo . . . cuckoo . . . When the clock strikes midnight, you’ll wonder, was it all a dream?





The Time Garden features extra-thick craft paper, ideal for non bleed-through coloring, and the jacketed cover with flaps is removable and colorable. Special gold-foil stamping on the cover and spine and a To/From page make it perfect for gifting to adults and kids alike.



Then, explore the magical world outside the clock through the eyes of a fairy in the sequel, The Time Chamber: A Magical Story and Coloring Book!







{Review}

"The Time Garden" is an amazing coloring book created with adults in mind.  This is not your little ones' coloring book!  A beautiful story of a young girl who follows a fairy through a magical clock into a brand new world.  Follow the story from page to page through amazing sketches by artist/author Daria Song.







This book would make a wonderful gift for older kids and adults alike.  It is such a fun and fanciful book with a fun story told through detailed and amazingly artistic sketches that are right there waiting for someone to come along and fill in some color.  All it takes is a little imagination and some sharpened colored pencils to create a whole fantastic world right at your fingertips.







In addition to the fun waiting on each page, coloring can be very relaxing for adults in our stress filled world.  This "Alice in Wonderland" type story combined with all the small detailed areas to color makes for a book that will keep someone occupied for hours and hours.  Don't worry, you don't have to complete each page in one day - it took me a total of 4 days off and on to finish a single page - I even invited my 11 year old budding artist to join me deciding on colors and design ideas and helping fill in much of the page.  It was fun quality time for just the two of us!



I highly recommend this book and others like it as gifts for friends, family or just for yourself!  Check it out -  you can purchase a copy through Amazon or find some in your local stores!

Finding Noah! Check it out in Theater's Oct. 8 #review








For over 2,000 years, man has been searching for the final resting place of
Noah's Ark.  Though there have been many attempts, few have been able to fully
explore the one place specifically noted in the Bible: Mount Ararat.  Located in
Eastern Turkey, Agri Dagh or "The Painful Mountain" is the tallest mountain in
the region and lies in the very center of a centuries old, geo-politically
unstable hot spot.  With constant threats of deadly rock slides, hidden
crevasses, and glacial ice falls, the Kurdish Rebel held mountain poses great
risk to any explorer, let alone those performing a thorough scientific
investigation.  







Join director/producer Brent Baum and the FINDING NOAH film crew as
they follow an expedition of intrepid explorers on a perilous trek up to Mt.
Ararat's desolate summit.  There, using state of the art technology and
real-time satellite imagery, this team of archeologists, scientists and
professional mountaineers will begin a grid work of exploration unlike any
before, hoping to finally resolve the age-old question:  did Noah and his Ark
actually exist?  





Shot in never-before filmed locations in the harshest of conditions, this
unprecedented feature-length documentary shows just how far men are willing to
go to discover the truth.  Narrated by Academy Award nominee Gary Sinise,
FINDING NOAH is more than a quest for answers, it is a testament of the
human spirit, where belief and the need for exploration transcend risk and
limitation.  










Genre: Documentary


Rating: NR 


Runtime: 116 minutes 




Release Date (ONE NIGHT ONLY): October 8








Review:


If you like documentaries on Biblical themes or have been curious about the questions surrounding Noah and his Ark, then this would be an interesting film for you to view.  I personally am not a big fan of documentaries but found myself engaged by the technology used to search Mt Ararat for Noah's Ark.  It was not would I would call "fun" but more of an intriguing film to watch.  Find out more online at: http://www.findingnoah.com/
