As part of Hurricane Preparedness Week 2011, Everyday Health has created The Hurricane Disaster-Proof Healthy Eating Guide to serve as the food preparedness resource for upcoming hurricane season and all natural disasters.

http://www.everydayhealth.com/healthy-home/hurricane-preparedness-guide-to-healthy-eating.aspx

Based on your preparedness coverage, we think the visitors of living-prepared.com will find it useful to get prepared now in a healthy way rather than later during a disaster. Let me know if you are able to mention so we can give you a shout out in an upcoming blog wrap-up at the start of the hurricane season.

Stay safe and eat well!

There are several versions of their full-sized SwissTool and the scaled-down SwissTool Spirit.

I agree with you as far as how handy a Swiss Army Knife can be, as well as a locking blade being safer than the slipjoint on most SAKs. This is probably the reason that Victorinox and Wenger now produce a number of models with locking blades. This is also why I carry a dedicated locking folder.

As far as your thoughts on weapons and neighborhoods, just remember: bad guys can go everywhere you can even if they don’t live there… ;)

I roll my eyes at the items confiscated at airport security. ResQme key rings are so harmless compared to other things that ARE allowed onboard including but not limited to: a good pair of boots, a writing instrument, a belt with a heavy buckle, a shoelace around a neck, a broken off tray-table.

Just because something can be used as a weapon doesn’t mean it is an effective weapon. *sigh* I miss the days of reasonable security screening in the ’90s. Compulsory carry of firearms by pilots and associated training would be a much more effective deterrent to hijacking than costly and time-consuming scrutinizing of passengers’ key accessories.
