How Would You Spend Found Money?
By Adelia Ladson
If you all of a sudden you came into some money, how would you spend it? There are so many possibilities, no matter the amount. To me, the main thing is that it should be spent on something you’ve been wanting and wouldn’t buy for yourself otherwise. Here are a few suggestions!
This is the best time to buy your own natural survival tool – the Six-Gallon Copper Moonshine Still. This distillers’ unit produces so much more than just moonshine. You can use it to desalinate saltwater and purify freshwater, to make essential oils and antiseptics, to make marinades for meats and poultry, and to even manufacture ethanol fuel to run engines or heat your home. Of course, if you want to make your own tasty beverages, this moonshine still is the best on the market. Handcrafted to perfection in the USA, using thick 22-gauge sheet copper and lead-free solder, it’s built to last. It is a ready-to-use, complete kit, which includes the pot, thumper, worm and cap with a temperature gauge. This is a purchase that you definitely won’t regret because not only does it produce something, but it also provides hours of just plain fun. Distilling is a great hobby to pick-up!
If you’re a gun enthusiast, then you really need to treat yourself to the experience of crafting your own firearm. The Polymer80 Buy Build Shoot 80% Full-Size 9MM Pistol Kit contains all the necessary components to build a complete PF940C, PF940v2 or PF940CL pistol. It comes complete with a PF-Series 80% pistol frame kit, a P80 pistol parts kit with trigger and a stainless steel barrel with a black nitride coating. It also includes a 9mm complete slide assembly, a stainless steel slide with a black nitride coating and a P80 slide parts kit. You also get a 17-round magazine and a hard plastic carrying case with the high-strength polymer, 80% pistol build kit. The best things about this easy-to-assemble kit is that no FFL is required to purchase it and you have the satisfaction of knowing that you built the 9mm yourself.
Why not unleash your inner Samurai Warrior with the Sokojikara Silk-Wrapped Bamboo Blossom Katana! Whether you’re a sword connoisseur or a first-time sword buyer, you’ll be blown away by this hand-forged, custom katana. The hair-shaving sharp blade is crafted of 1045 carbon steel and is a hefty 7mm thick, giving you plenty of cutting and slicing power. A Sokojikara katana is not just some cheap display piece but a fully-functional sword worthy of a Samurai. When it does come to displaying, however, it’s exceptional with its brass tsuba, which offers an ornately detailed bamboo blossom design, and the genuine rayskin handle, which features heavy silk wrappings. A brown lacquered scabbard with an inlaid bamboo blossom design in genuine mother of pearl completes the elegant look and feel of this katana. If you’re planning on buying a sword this year, the Sokojikara Silk-Wrapped Bamboo Blossom Katana is the one you absolutely need to have.
If you’re a collector of movie memorabilia or just a fan of the “Lord of the Rings” movie franchise, the War Helm of Sauron is a magnificent display piece to add to your personal collection. This officially licensed replica has been meticulously recreated from the actual filming prop built by Weta Workshop of New Zealand and used in the “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy. Expertly crafted of hand-painted resin, until you actually pick it up and hold it, you would think that the helm was made of real iron. An extra plus is that the interior is padded, so that it can actually be worn, if you’re also looking for a costume piece. The incredible reproduction is an impressive 33 1/2” tall when displayed on its base, which is patterned after Sauron's upper torso armor. A certificate of authenticity is included with the helm to assure you of its undeniable pedigree. A warning, though. The War Helm of Sauron is not going to be around forever, so now is the time to get it!
Want to add to and improve on something you enjoy doing already? While you have the extra money, now’s the time to upgrade your camping gear. The Intense Wilderness Survival Gear Four-Person Teepee Tent is perfect for family outings or solo wilderness excursions. It provides a comfortable, secure refuge from the elements for multiple campers, easily accommodating four full-sized sleeping bags or even a king-sized air mattress, with ample room left over for clothes, water, flashlights and other supplies.

When not in use, it rolls up tightly and packs away in a compact carry bag, along with all of the hardware.
