With the ease of finding information on the internet, and most books available online or on platforms like Kindle, is it any wonder that so many people today have shied away from purchasing physical books? I’ll admit that I generally prefer to do my research online, using both online material...
Several weeks ago, Vont Lighting reached out to me to do a review. I said I’d love to, as I’m always excited to review new prepper/survival gear and equipment. For those of you who are not familiar with Vont, Vont was started several years ago as a bike headlight company....
