The Basics of Emergency Candles

Candles were first used by Romans to light their homes, travel at night, and for religious ceremonies many years ago. Emergency candles are still a mainstay for survival kits after 5,000 years.

Seven Reasons To Filter Your Tap Water

To survive, we require water. Humans are composed up to two-thirds of water, which is bonded in our cell membranes. Water is more necessary than food; we can survive for up to a month without food, but only a week without water. This emphasizes the importance of drinking clean, pure water. Water that has not been treated, filtered, or purified can make you sick. Water filters and water filtration systems are examples of modern water technology.

This kills bacteria and inhibits the spread of illnesses transported by pipes and possible contamination, but do you really need to drink that much of it after it's clean and out of your tap?  Around 80 percent of the tap water is said to be contaminated with over 300 pollutants, more than half of which were not regulated by the EPA.
