Plant Guru Raw African Black Soap


I have never tried Raw African Black Soap but have heard of the benefits it has for dry skin. I live in Oklahoma where the wind blows constantly and dry, chapped skin is not uncommon. With the humidity issues we have here, ailments like athletes foot is not uncommon either. While I do not suffer from athletes foot, my feet do get dry and cracked this time of year. I have been using this soap for a few days now and I can start to tell a difference. While I know I cannot expect immediate results, I am starting to see progress. Any progress at all has mad this product worth the purchase.


OoRange Lighting Vehicle Car Charger


Great charger with integrated cord for use in the car. Many of the chargers you find today have the separate cord so that you can take it with you. Problem with this is that these cords often wear out due to people pulling them by the cord itself. The best part about this product is that you leave it in you vehicles all time and you don't have to worry about rushing out of the house and forgetting your charger. What if you only have one accessory port in your car but have a second phone that needs charged? Another wonderful feature of this charger is that it does have a USB port on the accessory port so that you have the option of plugging in a second phone to charge. In a house like mine, that has iPhone's and Android's, this is a much needed feature.


Lock Pick Set w/cutaway practice lock


This is a decent set of feeler picks that will work great for anyone wanting to learn how to pick locks. The picks do not come with instructions, but after purchasing this product, the company did email me a nice detailed pdf file that contains easy to understand instructions. The only reason that I only gave this set five stars is that there is no directions on what picks are for what types of locks. Also, the instructions explained how to use "raking" to pick a lock, but there are no traditional rake picks with this set. This is the first set I have ever purchased that was made up of nearly all feeler picks. There is what appears to be a dimple lock pick which is not common in most sets. The clear padlock is an excellent tool for learning how locks work and the correct methods used to pick them. One must be careful learning with these clear locks though. You need to practice picking without looking to the side of the lock. This will give you a false sense of comfort as you can not see the pin tumblers in most locks.

Holtzman's Ready Wrist Paracord Emergency Bracelet



I purchased this product because I am big into outdoors and survival. This is a great product, although it did have a few downfalls. First was that it was too small for my average size wrist. I could not buckle the clasp. The second issue is that the ferrocerium rod is difficult to strike. This could be because of the length of the bracelet. I will take some practice to get this down. So, if it didn't fit, or had problems striking, why did I give it 4 stars? That's simple. This is a great product to have. In this case, I have given it to my teenage son whom it fits well. As for the striking issue, this really is not a major issue. This is a survival bracelet for use in a survival situation. There is no reason to have to use it unless in dire circumstances. In this case, any fire starting tool would be absolutely invaluable. This bracelet also has an emergency whistle which so bug out bag or survival kit should be without. Although, this did not fit my wrist, I am considering ordering one to add to my glove box or bug out bag for use in an emergency situation.

Amphibia Evolution New Bluetooth Wireless Neckband Headphones




Awesome Bluetooth wireless headphones. I purchased these as a gift for my 8 year old son. He loves listening to music but always has difficulties keeping corded headphone from tangling. It is also very difficult to find headphones that fit on he head comfortably. He loves these because, not only are there no cords, they fit his head in a way that the piece that connects the two earphones actually hangs behind his head. This is much more comfortable for him especially on long road trips. One feature that I did not think he would use, but was pleasantly surprised he did, was the hands-free phone option. If his grandma calls, he can simply reach up and push the phone button to answer. He actually loves this feature because he doesn't have to hold his phone the whole time he is on it. I was very surprised at how clear the sound quality was. Typically this is not seen in the lesser expensive wireless products.

Superwinch 400538 Hub - Samurai, Sidekick, Tracker 89-96 model

Superwinch 400538 Hub-Suzuki Samurai Sidekick, Geo Tracker '89-90



I bought these to replace the factory set on my 1996 Geo Tracker. The worked excellent. As a strictly off-road vehicle, It was seldom washed and not matter how much thick Oklahoma Red dirt mud accumulated on this product, it continued to turn with ease never needing serviced. The vehicle was recently in an accident resulting in the vehicle being totaled, but able to be driven onto the trailer. These easily locked into 4wd to pull out of the ditch and onto the trailer.

Skiva Cord2Go micro-USB KeyChain with Carabiner




Awesome little portable charger that you can clip on a backpack or simply hang on your keys. Comes with a carabiner, but I simply added it my keychain. I've seen complaints about how hard it is to disconnect for use. This isn't a problem if you read the instructions and follow the steps for removing the cords. This is great if you are anywhere where a USB plug in is located (i.e. any computer) and need a quick charge on your phone. I used it at work on my desktop when I forgot my charger at home. I highly recommend this product!
