Insect Repellent bracelets pk of 20 by EZYKOO (Product Review)

There are 20 bracelets in this pack from EZYKOO. They are completely natural and DEET-free. Essential oils such as citronella provide its bug repelling power. They do a surprisingly good job at keeping bugs from eating my family alive. I have used this type of wristband before, but this is the first company I have seen that packages each bracelet individually. Every one of them is in its own resealable bag.

We bought our house as a foreclosure and it didn't have screens on the windows; we haven't been able to get them yet, and during the monsoon (basically the summer time, when my location receives most of its rain for the entire year) we are bombarded with mosquitoes, crane flies, and other annoying bugs that fly right on into our house. The bracelets are adjustable and will fit a wide variety of sizes, thanks to multiple notches. My wrists are on the thin side, so I am always left with a sizable length of wristband; this is an easy fix. I take the extra length, fold it over, and slip another notch over the bracelet's sturdy plastic tab. These are waterproof, not to mention soft. That is of particular importance to me, as one of my teens has psoriasis and eczema. The bands don't bother her skin whatsoever.

The EZYKOO bracelets last up to 250 hours. They can be worn on the wrist or ankle, but you can put them just about anywhere. The really cool bonus with this package is they also include 12 smiley face patches/stickers. These are great for the little ones! If you are a student, you can put a wristband around a backpack strap. You can stick a patch on a trekking pole, a backpack, car seat carrier handle, you name it.

The wristbands do have a bit of a citronella scent, but personally I don't mind it. I'd much rather spend a small amount on a pack of these bracelets than a fortune on countless tubes of hydrocortisone for the four of us.

Tactical Flashlight by Survival Hax (Product Review)

Survival Hax has this very well-made tactical flashlight with 1000 lumens. It is smallish at just over 5 inches in length. It comes with a rechargeable battery as well as a charger, but if you don't want to go that route, you can use the included adapter for AAA batteries. The weight is sturdy while not being heavy, and it is comfortable to hold. It has a sliding zoom, with the Cree chip being displayed on the tightest setting. It is workable with one hand even with the zoom slide being a bit on the tight slide. This is significant to me, as I know if SHTF I may very well need to use it single-handedly. I also have a tremor from the Ehlers-Danlos so the fact that I was able to use this without issue says a lot. I've tried one other product by this company, and I'm really glad to see the high quality is consistent.
