I have covered some of the most important things you should have in a 72-hour disaster kit, but there are still some items that you should probably have around to make your disaster experience go a bit smoother. In the Bosch L-BOXX-2 I put together some of the items that you would use daily, things like cooking utensils, soap, toothpaste and more. I am sure there are a lot more items that I could have added, but I am trying to balance what I really need versus the weight of everything.

Cutting plastics is not really that difficult to do, but making clean cuts on plastics is. If you use the wrong blade you will end up chipping the plastic, melting the plastic along the cut line, or in some cases, you might do both.

Bosch is really pushing out the deals this holiday season, and as long as they do, I am going to keep on writing about them. In addition to their $50 off Select Cordless Combos Deal that is still running, Bosch is also offering $25 off of select Bosch tool purchases of $100 or more.

Obviously the tools just at $100 or near there...

Lowe’s is in a giving mood this Veterans day, offering some nice discounts on even more power tools and some accessories. It looks like these deals will expire tomorrow so you better act while you can. Don’t forget about the Lowe’s Black Friday and Christmas Days sales we posted last week. Thanks Vets for our Freedom and for giving retailers a reason to have sales.  

It is never too early to start shopping for Christmas or to at least start planning for your Christmas shopping. To help you plan your shopping Lowe’s has pre-announced a few of their Black Friday deals, and if you are ready to start shopping now, Lowe’s has a number of tools already marked down.

We all need to eat, so having enough food on hand incase of a natural disaster is key. The East Coast is currently being hit by hurricane Sandy and the days leading up to the storm led to crowded stores full of the unprepared looking to stock up on food. Building a disaster kit ahead of time could have saved these people a lot of stress.
