COMPARISON SHOPPING

• Flashlight
• Sunscreen
• Portable charger
• Mace
• Water bottles

FLASHLIGHT COMPARISON

• JetBeam II PRO Cree Strobe Flashlight - BLACK
• $51.45
• Made for camping, outdoor adventures etc. made of stainless steel, four brightness levels, used for self defense, made of sturdy aluminum
• Energizer Rechargeable LED Flashlight (RCL1NM2WR)
• $13.99
• Good for emergency situations, reach arguable, one flashlight setting, casing material is polycarbonate
• The energizer would be better even though the other flashlight is top knotch. It would be crazy to spend 50 dollars in a flashlight unless we were going camping which we aren't

SUNSCREEN

• Walgreens sport sunscreen
• $2.99
• 3 ounces
• Water resistant and protects from UVB rays
• Banana Boat sunscreen
• $6.97
• 8 ounces
• SPF 50, water resistant, sweat resistant
• The better option would be Banana boat. Yes, you have to pay more but you get more ounces. Plus it's sweat resistant as well.

PORTABLE CHARGER

• mophie - Power Reserve 1x Portable Charger - Rose Gold
• $30.99
• Lasts a very long time, charges about 3 phones fully
• Tzumi Pocket Juice Slim 4,000mAh Solo Portable Charger, Teal
• $10.35
• Charges for 48 hours, comes with a flashlight as well
• The tzumi charger would be a better option. It's cheaper and it works just as long most likely. Plus you get a flashlight

MACE

• Mace Brand Self Defense Triple Action Self Defense Pepper Spray
• $15.10
• 11 grams
• High defense, police level pepper spray. Safety cap and formula has tear gas,pepper and UV dye
• VEXOR Key Guard Pepper Spray, 1/2 oz, Purple
• $6.20
• .5 Ounces
• Works in cold climates, works in short bursts and attaches to keys. Used in law enforcement as well
• The vexor is better. It may not be a lot but they're both high quality sprays. Getting attacked could happen but not more than a few times in the same city. It's not a likely occurrence.

WATER BOTTLES

• Moosejaw Klean Kanteen Insulated Bottle with Cafe Cap
• $29.95/ 16 oz
• Insulted food and beverages for 6 hours, sturdy metal, accolades ice cubes, leak proof cap, chills drinks for 24 hours
• CamelBak Eddy 25 oz Water Bottle
• $15
• Protects against spills, dishwasher safe, BPA free
• The camelbak is less expensive and holds more, yet it's not insulated. If we wanted insulated I'd take that but instead the camelbak is a better choice for me

EVENT PLAN

• 1 water bottle = $15
• 1 bottle of sunscreen = $6.97
• 1 mace can = $6.20
• 1 emergency flashlight = $13.99
• 1 portable charger = 10.35
• Amount of money saved up: $600

RESOURCES

• I knew this trip was going to be pricey but I I didn't think it would be this much. There's a lot of cost going into this trip and I might be able to pull it off, maybe not. My friend who I'm going with helped me out with this project
