Printable Wallet-sized Medical Info Card

So, maybe you're all nice and medically prepared. You know what to do if someone in your family has a medical emergency and there are no doctors available. You're all set! Except when you're the one who has a problem and the people trying to help you aren't sure what to do. They don't know if you're diabetic or allergic... or just given to random naps.

This handy little download covers all your basic medical info in case of emergency: emergency contacts, chronic conditions, prescription and over-the-counter meds, allergy record, immunization record, and space for extra notes. Give those people a starting point and you might just be able to wake up and tell them what to do next.

North American Rescue® EMT Trauma Shears

These EMT Trauma Shears (included in The Ammo Can First Aid Kit) are tough--like, really tough. Watch this guy use them to cut through a penny! (Oh, yeah, also notice how cool they look in non-reflective black?)


This is the part where we say, "Don't try this at home." And if you do (like we just told you not to) don't bother claiming that we said you could... 'cause we didn't. Right here is where. ;)

Homemade Water Lense


Did you know you could use water to burn through wood or heat up a skillet? Sound kind of backwards, but watch this!



"This is a solar water lens that is almost 30 inches in diameter and can burn through wood quickly. It delivers a very large powerful focal point that is only useful around noon in the summertime when the sun is directly overhead. The material is crystal clear vinyl shower curtain. This lens concentrates about 500 watts of solar heat energy to a focal point of 1 inch optimal with a 3-6 inch scatter."
