I think I finally have my husband on board in the area of preparedness. This comes courtesy to the nifty gadgets at Bass Pro Shops. Our young pre-teen son has been on board with me regarding this issue, so we all went to Bass Pro Shops as the remnants of Fay approached our area. I was in the camping department of the store while my son and husband roamed around near by. My son came up to me with a hand crank radio and said, "Mom, Daddy likes the gadgets here." I had that cat that ate the canary grin on my face, and I thought of you guys because someone mentioned that the way to get my husband on board might be through gadgets.

It now seems that my husband will tolerate the other stuff that comes with preparedness if he can have a gadget or two.....or ten.

So my question is: What is your favorite gadget that is also very useful?

Thanks for your help!
