Wal-Mart 2 shelf Greenhouse
This is a small unit that measures 27 1/8" x 19 1/4" x 36 1/8". It is constructed of lightly constructed tubular steel, ABS plastic, vinyl coated steel wire, and comes with a zippered vinyl jacket.
After opening the box and finding only drawings for assembly instruction, I was a bit wary; however; the assembly turned out to be so simple, written instruction was unecessary. The unit took less than five minutes to put together and was ready for use.
The unit can be used as a miniature greenhouse to grow potted plants or to start seedlings. The unit has two shelves, each large enough to hold two trays of 18 seedling pots for a total of 72 seedling plants overall. As stated, the unit is extremely simple to assemble. On a scale of zero to 5 dirty words used in assemblage of this product, zero dirty words were used, (the best rating). Since food production and self sufficiency should be at the top of every Independent American's skill list, this product is very useful, therefore the product gets a high recommendation.

Water Oz Water Soluable Silver
Every day in the news an Independent American can read of the many anti-biotic resistant bacterium and diseases emerging around the world and within America's borders. Including an entire pharmacy within one's preparations is not practical unless one is a doctor, or has some good connections within the medical community. There is one substance that has been utilized through the ages to fight diseases with great success that bacterium have never developed resistance toward, due to the fact that it kills 100% of bacterium on contact, and is effective in killing even viruses. That substance is silver.
The Roman army ate from silver utensils and drank from silver cups. Some colloids of silver were naturally produced with the addition of food and wine to the silver utensils and ingested by the Romans, who, in turn, found that they were less suceptable to diseases and quicker to heal. In America, pioneers moving westward would drop two silver dollars into their water barrels to ward off bacterial growth.
Some time later colloidal silver was developed to be ingested in case of disease or to keep in good health. Colloidal generators are still in vogue and have been used with success; however; a condition known as argentium can occur, which is basically a heavy metal poisoning which turns one's gums and skin a shade of blue. This is caused when silver colloids are produced that are too large to be flushed from the body.
Enter Water Oz Water Soluable Silver. This product is created using a laser process which produces silver particles so small that they are suspended in water and do not fall out. Unlike colloidal silver, no salts are neccessary in the production of water soluable silver and you do not need to shake the bottle before use. The silver particles always stay in suspension and are small enough to be flushed from the body through the kidneys.
Recently Water Oz has had some difficulty from the feds who claim that there is not as much silver in each bottle as advertized. Despite federal nitpicking, I have personally used this product with both, myself and family members and pets. I can say without any doubts or reservations that this product works and works well. As with many of the vitamin and herbal products on the market today that has come under federal attention, Independent Americans should consider federal claims as suspect. This product is very HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Independent Americans need this product in case they are on their own if a disease reaches epedimic proportions.

Hom-E-Quip Storage Systems model VL-630
This product is a steel construction shelving unit that is capable of holding up to 250 pounds per shelf. It comes un-assembled, but with all of the necessary hardware, other than tools, to assemble the unit in your garage or storeage area.
While assembling, the unit appears to be a bit unsteady and weak, but if the instructions are followed the unit is quite sturdy and strong and will perform as advertised once fully assembled. The metal unit has a good quality grey paint finish to resist rust that appears to work very well.
For Independent Americans who could use some shelves in their pantries for food storeage, or need some shelving space for tools, reloading equipment, ammunition, cleaning supplies, or other emergency supplies, this unit could fit their needs. You can also fix this unit to the studs in your wall for greater support, should it be necessary to load the unit in a top-heavy manner. This is also a great idea for earthquake or tornado country.
Assembly of this product for a single individual is somewhat difficult, as an extra set of hands would make assembly much easier. In degrees of difficulty in assemblage from zero dirty words, (the best rating), to five dirty words, (the most difficult), used during assembly, this unit rates 5 dirty words for the individual, but drops to 3 dirty words for two. Once assembled; however; the unit is quite useful and helps to manage storeage space quite well, therefore this product receives a recommendation, especially when found at the sale price of $5.99. This product can be purchased at Wal-Mart.

Aqua-Rain model 400 water filter
Pure drinking water is becomming more and more rare today as our water sources are being contaminated with biological organisms like Giardia Lamblia, E. Coli, and Salmonella Tiphimurium as well as chemical pollutants like MTBE and pesticides. For these reasons Independent Americans are in need of a water filter that will reduce or negate these threats in survival and everyday useage.
Aqua-Rain has answered the call for a filter that will remove these threats in your water supply. The Aqua-Rain model 400 is a gravity fed, water filteration device, that does not need electricity, or water pressure to operate, making the filter extremely useful in emergencies. The filter is effective on all of the above threats and more. It utilizes four hard ceramic shell filters that have granulated activated charcoal cores impregnated with metallic silver, which kills bacterium and viruses, while filtering out particulates, cysts and absorbing toxins.
To set up, simply follow the instructions that come with the filter. Place the filters in the top filter reservoir, place the filter reservoir over the pure water reservoir, fill the top reservoir with water, place dust cover over the top of the unit and allow the filter to operate. On a scale of zero to five dirty words used in the difficulty of assembling and operating, the unit rates zero dirty words. (the best rating).
Unfortunately, the filter cannot be simply cached away and taken out to be used only in an emergency, because you must allow the unit a few days to absorb water through it's filters when brand new and must discard the first few gallons. Thus it is best to set up and use your unit as soon as purchased. This way, you will not have to wait three or four days for your filter to be set up and the sediment of the new filters to be worked out in the middle of an emergency. Plus, you will be enjoying pure, filtered, safe water as soon as your filter is in working condition.
My personal unit has been operating and supplying my family with pure drinking water for a couple of years now and the water's quality is the best.
Despite that this filter must be active before the occurance of an emergency, this filter is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by the staff. As America's water supply is overtaxed, overcontrolled by government, and polluted, every Independent American needs an everyday filter anyway and this high quality unit more than fills the bill.
