    Turtle Tuff Shelters

    Wondering if anybody has any experience with Turtle Tuff Shelters??<br><br>They are not cheap but several people on YouTube and elsewhere say they are a better option than an RV to escape the collapse and set up a livable situation in the Boondocks ... I find that hard to believe.

    thermal cooker

    Have to Ask<br>Everybody seems to love these thermal cookers but when I look at the descriptions on Amazon or eBay, they say they "continue to cook the food for up to 30 minutes" after taking it off the 10 minute boil. Now, am I missing something or is 30 minutes NOT enough to cook a meal...
