SentrySafe Safe Box Lock Box Review

When our daughter went to college, we made sure she had a lock box for her spending cash and jewelry.

One of our biggest concerns about dorm living is that she wouldn't know all of her roommates. She was allowed to request one roommate, but the other two would be assigned. Plus, they would all have guests visiting the dorm room. Again, they would be students they had just met on campus.

Our daughter didn't have expensive jewelry or a lot of cash. Mostly, she had her class ring and cash for the laundromat. We made sure she had several rolls of quarters so she could use the washing machines. Ironically, the quarters were highly sought after.

Something we did not think about in advance, was is the need to lock up her wallet, car keys and computer flash drives when she went to the swimming pool or gym. That little lock box turned out to be an essential item for her dorm room.

Yes, someone could carry off the entire box, but they would not be able to slip it in their pocket like you could keys, cash, or flash drives.

After graduation, she was able to continuing using that box for her passport, birth certificate, etc. The SentrySafe lock box adds the additional protection for those documents by being fireproof and waterproof for an hour.

The only downside that we have found with the box is that it is heavy. However, since she rarely lifted it, that was not a problem. Better to have the fire and water protection than to have a lighter weight lock box.

Because she had so many uses for this lock box at college and afterwards, we also purchased one for our son when he went to college.

We opted for the smaller lock box since it was plenty large enough for their needs.

Halo 800 Lumen Handheld Flashlight Review

Flashlights come in all sizes, colors, and price range, but I have one I would recommend above all the rest!

My husband has always "collected" flashlights, therefore I have been exposed to a wide range of flashlights. When I need a flashlight, I want one that is going to light up my world. I have no use for a soft-light, delicate, cheap plastic flashlight that requires 2 or more D batteries. Nope, give me a torch!

I want lightweight and small, but I don't want to give up real lighting ability to get something easy to hold. Fortunately for me, with the Halo 800 Lumen Handheld Flashlight, I can have everything I want and need in a very compact, lightweight flashlight.

Halo 800 Lumen Handheld Flashlight with Rechargeable Battery

When I tell you, the 800 Lumen Halo flashlight is the best flashlight I have ever owned, I am not exaggerating at all. At first glance, it may seem a little pricey, but it is well worth every cent!

I can stand against the back wall of my bedroom and the light beam can easily shine through and light up all the rooms inside our home. It is a bright light and I can clearly see across the entire house without having to move.

Outdoors, it will light my up my backyard so I can easily spot the pup that thinks he is hiding from me at the back fence.

You know those horror movies where the woman carries a dimly lit flashlight and is practically face to face with the villain before she sees him? Well, if she had the Halo 800 Lumen Flashlight, that would never happen! She would see him coming 1000 feet away. That would greatly increase her chances of either getting away from him or in better preparing herself for his fiendish actions. He might even tuck tail and run like a spotted squirrel. After all, his sneaking around would certainly be thwarted.

Frankly, you need two of these flashlights. One for your home, and one for your car. Consider being stranded on the side of the road at night with a flat tire. No wolf would sneak up on you and have you over for dinner. When you hear the rustling in the bushes, cast your Halo 800 lumens in the general direction and Mr. Wolf would feel the burn of your current day torch. (figuratively speaking, of course!)

Hiking in the woods and out past nightfall, fear not! Your trusty Halo flashlight will help keep you on the path and lead you to safety. This is where I should mention the SOS mode. You can set your Halo Flashlight to flash the Morse emergency distress signal instead of a constant stream of light.

Moultrie Game Camera Review

I had considered purchasing a game camera for some time. I have considered placing one on my balcony rail as security for my Jeep and urban parking lot. I have also wanted one to capture wildlife during camping trips. Price and uncertainty about ease of use stopped me from making the purchase. Until recently. I learned from a friend how easy-to-use the Moultrie A-5 Game Camera is and the price was easily within my budget. With the purchase of a piece of land teeming with wildlife, buying a game camera seemed like a logical choice.

The Moultrie A-5 Digital Game Camera Gen 2

This model of Moultrie is an easy-to-use 5.0 MP game camera. It comes with the "belt" and a clip that attach it to a tree. I just added the batteries and a SD memory card. The easy-to-use and understand control panel are under the door that latches securely shut.

My favorite feature is the count-down display. It shows that I have set the camera and begins a count down so that I can leave the area without having my photo taken. Much like the arming of a home security system. Like a home security system, the last thing I want is to set it off on myself. I know, I know, in this case it is only a picture. But I really don't want to see what I look like when I'm wandering around my yard at The Shack.

The price of game cameras seem to fluctuate. I purchased mine around $45. Then we found some at a big box store, on the clearance shelf, for $30! Yes, we snatched them up. If you can afford to pay more, you can purchase a model with higher pixels (resulting in better photo quality). But for what I want, this photo quality and price tag suits me just fine.

Our Moultie Game Camera Pictures

My roommate is monitoring an area where he hunts. He's captured deer, a fox, birds, and apparently, occasionally, the blowing wind during a snow storm. Well... I should say he caught the movement of the trees during a windy storm. If only we could capture photos of the wind!

I love seeing fox

I only set up my camera at The Shack just last weekend. There is evidence of many large deer there. And we may have seen bear scat last weekend. I'm certainly no bear scat expert but it was a pile of something from a large animal. I am very excited to have a camera set up to record some of my visitors.

So far, I've captured Willy and the neighbors dog. (Oh boy, I hope the neighbors dog isn't a problem after I move there permanently and add chickens and rabbits to the family! At least I don't have to worry about that for awhile).

I will soon move the camera so it captures the entrance of The Shack. I will know if I have human visitors while I'm away.
