Gerber Bear Grylls Ultimate Survival Kit: For the over-prepared adventurer

Anyone who is a Bear Grylls fan, or enjoys putting themselves in dangerous, life-threatening situations should own this inexpensive survival kit from Gerber. While we know that Bear Grylls can survive with nothing but a knife and the clothes off his back (ok, and maybe an occasional hotel stay), not everyone is as skilled in the art of tracing their way back to civilization. Let’s face it, most of us would probably die out there. With the Gerber Bear Grylls Ultimate Survival Kit ($50), however, we think you might have an actual chance. The compact kit includes an impressive array of survival tools, including a small multi-tool, a miniature light, a hand saw, a signaling mirror, survival blanket, fire starter, waterproof matches, a cotton ball for tinder, snare wire, and emergency cord, waxed thread, a sewing kit, and a fishing kit, all in a waterproof ripstop bag. Also included are land-to-air rescue instructions and vital survival tips from Grylls himself. That should improve your chances.

How to format the microSD card on Tapo security cameras
The Tapo C120 out in the rain.

One of the most compelling features of Tapo products (like the Wire-Free 2K Outdoor Cam and Indoor/Outdoor Cam) is support for local storage. Many Tapo security cameras let you install a microSD card, so you don't have to rely on cloud storage to save all your videos – instead, they're neatly stored right on your camera. Before you can start using local storage, however, you'll need to format your microSD card. Tapo has some pretty strict requirements for how this works, but the process itself is remarkably simple.

Ready to start saving all your video clips locally? Here's how to format the microSD card on your Tapo security camera.

Blink Mini 2 vs. Ring Stick Up Cam Pro: Which is the best security camera?
The Ring Stick Up Cam Pro on display the 2023 Amazon Fall Devices and Services event.

The Blink Mini 2 is one of the cheapest security cameras you can buy. It's pretty well-rounded too. It's capable of filming in HD and offering support for outdoor use when paired with an optional accessory, making it a great choice for shoppers on a budget. That makes it wildly different from the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro, which carries a hefty price tag and supports both indoor and outdoor use right out of the box without the need to purchase a secondary accessory.

But is the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro a better investment than the affordable Blink Mini 2? From pricing and video resolution to the installation process and additional features, here's a look at the Blink Mini 2 and Ring Stick Up Cam Pro to help you decide which is the best choice for your home.
