It doesn’t matter if you’re taking a road trip across the country or just running errands around town, it’s important to have emergency supplies in your vehicle at all times!

Ten years ago I was coming home from work after working a 12 hour shift. On my way home, my back tire blew out. It was 4 AM in the morning and I remember getting out of the car, lighting flares and then starting work on changing that flat tire. The process could of been easier if I would of had the product that I’m going to tell you about today. Why you might ask? Well, I had a heck of a time trying to get those emergency flares going and once I did…they didn’t burn as well as they should have.
Let me introduce you to the Life+Gear LED Flares and in my honest opinion, they should be in every vehicle in America! They are a lot easier to use than traditional flares! These LED Flares will give you 200 hours of light when you’re using the flasher mode. They come with the batteries (included) and with magnetic stands.
They’re super-easy to use. You simply twist them on and twist them off. Yes, that’s right…a simple twist to operate them. These are reusable LED glow sticks that are waterproof and they’ll float! Absolutely perfect for keeping in your glove box, the trunk of the car, in a tool box, on your boat, in your RV, etc.
Directions for Use: Twist the top left & right to turn it on and off. Twist a second time to activate the emergency flasher.
The LED Flares are eco-friendly. One emergency flare eliminates the waste impact of 1,250 chemical glow sticks. Wow, that’s impressive! In addition to that, they’re a lot easier to use and safer to use too!
We were on a road trip several weeks ago and my husband pulled over to help an elderly woman change her flat tire. He got into his tool box and used two of the Life+Gear LED Flares, to alert passing motorists that they were on the side of the road. Then just last week he went out to get into his vehicle and it wouldn’t start. He got out two of the LED Flares and had them going to help alert others that he was there and they were bright enough to help him to see what he was doing. Unlike traditional emergency flares, you can use these over and over again! We love them!
Head on over to Life+Gear to check out all of their portable lighting products, lanterns, flashlights, glow sticks and these fantastic LED flares!

Let’s face it, we all have to go outside when it’s dark. For some of us, that means running errands & going to the store, for other people it may mean walking the dog or picking up the kids from after-school activities. Some people may …

Let me introduce you to Life+Gear who makes a line of STORMPROOF portable lights that will help you to always be prepared. We’re featuring three different products from this line and in our honest opinion, you should have all three! Plus, holiday gift-giving is just around the corner and they would make great gifts for those on your gift-giving list.
The Life+Gear STORMPROOF Crank Flashlight and Radio is a must-have when the power goes out. It features a one minute crank that creates 10 minutes of light or FM radio. You can quickly charge it up with the built-in USB cable and it has a battery power switch to preserve your battery power. You can get up to 10 hours of low mode flashlight power on a full charge.
What’s makes this item ultra-cool is that you can also use it to charge up your cellphone in an emergency. You’ll switch the battery power switch on and bottom of crank light to the off position. Turn your cellphone off and then plug the USB cord from the phone into the USB output on the crank light. Crank for four minutes for one minute of talk time. How cool is that? Totally cool.
The Life+Gear Search Light 500 Lumens Flashlight with Emergency Signaling can be used everyday or just during emergencies. It features 4 different modes: High Light (500 lumens), Low Light (50 lumens), Red Flasher and the Beacon. It’s made out of rugged aluminum, is water resistant, has emergency signaling and has a beam distance of 790 feet.
We spend a lot of time outdoors and one of the things that really impressed us with this one is that it has a built-in rescue beacon (a light) that can be seen up to 2.75 miles away!!! Plus, it has a built-in emergency whistle, an included carabiner and the 4 AA batteries are included too. It’s ready to go right out of the package! This is a definite must-have (in our book) if you spend time outdoors (skiing, hiking, boating, hunting, rock climbing, fishing, camping, etc.).
The Life+Gear STORMPROOF Signal Light has 4 different lighting modes: High Light (120 lumens), Low Light (10 lumens), High + Glow and the Safety Flasher. It’s shock-proof, has an extended run time and comes and is water proof. It comes with 4 AA batteries too!
As a woman…I really like this one because of it’s simple features and it’s slender profile. It fits comfortably in my hands and its compact size is perfect for stowing it away in a glove box, trunk of the car, backpack, handbag, tool box, etc. Hubby has been dragging this one around in his tool box when he goes out at night to do local HVAC calls. He loves it too.
