Obviously important for human, pet and crop hydration, drinkable water is as scarce a resource as any, and as such, should be a concern for us all, not just in particular regions of the country or certain times of the year.

Northern India’s Groundwater isn’t the only water supply “going, going, going…”

Don’t wait for a drought, a boil order or another natural disaster to finally realize just how much we take water for granted.

Summer brings violent weather. Period. Thunderstorms, lightning strikes, hailstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes,  heat waves and flash flooding are the prices we pay for warm, sunny days. What turns violent weather deadly, most times, is when it catches us unexpectedly. When we are unaware of a forecasted storm, our chances of weathering that storm diminish greatly.

Unfortunately, summertime is, most likely, the time we will be out and about, vacationing, traveling, RVing, boating, cycling and away from our normal shelters and weather media outlets.

Getting caught off guard while your on the road is never smart. Away and unaware is the perfect recipe for misfortune.

One of the pieces of gear I always carry with with me is either my Solarlink FR360 or the Microlink FR150 from the Eton Corporation. These portable, powerful AM/FM/NOAA Weather radios are the perfect solution to getting caught with your guard down. It’s the “smartest” radio I know. My “bad-weather-crystal-ball” I like to say.

In this short video you will learn why it is one of my Top Ten pieces of gear and how to never again worry about the impromptu characteristics of Mother Nature.
