Great Depression Coming? Store A Boat In The Trunk Of Your Car

As I have mentioned before, things are getting kinda strange in the world.  Some would go so far as to say the next great depression is coming.  Might not be a bad time to stock up on canned food and water (and bullets). If you are already semi-prepared, why not…

Grenade Alarm Clock

The Hand Grenade Alarm Clock from Toyo Trading allows you to start the morning off with a BANG! Unlike most alarm clocks (which you WANT to throw) the Hand Grenade Alarm Clock HAS to be thrown if you want to turn it off. Made of soft PVC, the Hand Grenade…
