In order to keep this review a little organized, I will briefly summarize my experience from start to finish. This very moment. This item has been on my wishlist for several reasons, but I contemplated buying it for one There is a shipping and handling charge of about six dollars. This was okay, but for some reason I had to double the shipping costs since I wanted two to begin with. The more you order, the higher the shipping cost will be. Please order ten at a cost of 60 (if ten are needed). This might just be due to the fact that I'm spoiled by Amazon Prime, but that seems excessive. Once the decision was made to buy the product, the estimated shipping and delivery time was 4 - 5 business days. This is a 14-day period. I typically take a long time to complete tasks. The package arrived at my residence in New Mexico within two days, from where it was manufactured in some city in New York. Perhaps it was worth it to pay that shipping price? )I have the box now. It is about half the size of a typical spiral bound notebook, which is 400 pages. In my opinion, they are more closely described as odd rather than confusing since they are printed on the lid of the box. Listed below are the contents of the box This is the device itself, 100 feet of black thick sewing string, two sections of wire measuring about 18 gauge, one medium U staple, as well as 1 high intensity Cyalume orange light for 5 minutes. I noticed a sticker on the box that indicated my chem light had expired in 2009. The loss of one star was a consequence of this. As I found the instructions weird and the product to be inconvenient, I'll explain where every item in the box fits, or what I learned from my tests. A
It appears that the device is upside down in Amazon's current picture! An arrow indicating that "this end up" is on the bottom of the chem in this picture can be seen close up. Though the letter "UP" doesn't appear on the arrow, it appears next to it
2 A string is basically a tip wire to activate the device. You'll need it to
3 Attaching the wire to the platform is the purpose of the wire. A tree or 2x4 would be an example. This fourth bullet It is not mentioned in the instructions whatsoever that the U staple should be used. As I understand it, it is intended to be used to secure the trip line to the opposite end of the device. This second tree or second 2x4 can be constructed in two ways. Note number five In order to slide the chem light into the retainers, turn the device right side up. I messed up at this point. First, I rolled the thinner end of the chem into the lower retainer, and then I tried the thicker end in Squeezing that button activated the chem light that had been "expired. ". The truth is, I was surprised by this. My familiarity with cheap 4" chem lights is when you crack them and have to shake them to get all the light. In this example, you can see the light being created by the chemicals mixing and they appeared extremely When you add creamer to coffee, it looks just like that. It held strong at the end of the spring that is attached to the striker. As a result of rewriting If possible, I recommend clamping the ends of the springs completely.
A few more thoughts on functionality, but they have not yet been In my opinion, what I like most about the item is that, while it was packaged as "disposable", it's anything but! The trip flare will not be a mere If used creatively, it can sound and be visible, as it is advertised as a silent alarm. However, if you tie something to the striker (tin cans, bells), it becomes audible and visible. As a spring snare it can be used to trap small animals because it has enough tension within the spring. If you're lucky enough to find a suitable river, this could also be used as an automatic fishing reel. Although there were a few growing pains, nothing that would cause a major setback. The product I received was exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you for letting me help you avoid frustration! Among a wide range of people I have told about this product, and I It's been a pleasure reading you! Thanks! The letter P. Feel free to ask me any questions! I will do my best to answer them.
It is impossible to list all the ways you can use product. In the military as well as in the civilian world, they can be used for advanced warning. Chemlight is my favorite short term product. The reason they are bright is because they are intelligent. This is something I'm going to order more of.
It must have taken you a long time to prepare a bugout location if you are a prepper. You should have these with you if you have to go there. It is really cool to own an item like this. It even comes with a black 100 foot trip wire, which is better than thread and mouse traps. I enjoyed the idea of setting this up at a distance in an area where you could expect someone to mount an assault. The best part is you can retreat to the main base at night. At a distance, you can see this. There might not be anything to hear, but you could certainly Currently, I own two of these and I have been debating whether to get two more The number of more is 4.
Device that functions well and can be used in several ways.
It was important to me that I had something to aid in home security during the Bad Times, but did not want an item that could hurt others. The glow sticks work fine, and depending on what you're looking for, you can use either the 10 minute 6" glow sticks or the 8 to 12 hour 6" glow sticks, but the shorter the burn time, the brighter and more intense the glow. It is useful as a simple way to secure the perimeter against human and animal intruders during wilderness camping.
My only suggestion would be to replace the trip line with some good 200 or 400 lb Kevlar line.
There is something interesting about the design of this device, You can use it repeatedly by simply replacing the used or active glow stick with a fresh one One that has been activated. This is a great.
The product has not been tried yet, but I think it is just a bit overpriced, otherwise I would have purchased We're about to go through something This item should be put with it. It will only be sold so many based on uses, and at a lower price - Promote the sale of more products.
