Titanium Hip Flask

TJ Provost Leave a comment

I bought my Valtcan Titanium Hip Flask as a present for myself as I was going to a wedding and I was afraid the open bar wouldn’t have any drinkable whiskey. Yes, my wife calls me a Whiskey Snob but I don’t care. This Titanium Flask is ultra lightweight, and because it is Titanium I know its non-reactive and won’t change the taste of whatever precious whiskey I put inside it. It won’t leach into whatever I put in it and it won’t pick up odors or flavors over time. I can wash it, rinse it, and every drop of that previous liquid I put into it is just as good as it gets.

If you have a Whiskey Lover in your life, they will be incredibly happy to open this Valtcan Titanium Hip Flask. It is a high quality, forever gift, that the owner can pass down to his kids. That is how well made this Flask is.

My buddies and I have a long standing tradition on the trail. The night before we start our hike home we have a toast and talk about old times. We’ve lost friends over the years. We toast to them and to enjoying the days ahead. My Hip Flask has carried everything from Jameson to Pappy and everything in between.

When it comes to a disaster, I just might need a sip from this Hip Flask more than normal.

Rain Poncho

TJ Provost Leave a comment

This Rain Poncho is a must have bit of Wet Weather Gear. It packs up small, and has a ton of utility. Its most obvious use is during the pouring rain. It can keep you dry. That can can make the difference if you are out on the trail for days. Being wet leads to being cold, and that is dangerous. The wet just sucks the heat out of your body. Thankfully you are going to be prepared for long rainy days with this Poncho.

This Poncho fits over your Backpack, which means it can keep you and your gear dry. It also makes for a rain fly if you need to stop to rest. I obviously keep one of these Ponchos with my go gear and my Camping gear. I keep two in my vehicle. The first is Orange in case I need to stop and help someone in the pouring rain on the highway. Pre disaster I don’t want to get clipped by a car in the rain while changing a tire. Post disaster I like the Deep Gray and Green colors to fade into the background.

At this price point you can afford to have several Ponchos in different colors. The Orange is obvious for pre disaster times while some of the other colors may be dictated by what type of terrain you are in.

Rain Poncho Scoring

This Rain Poncho can have a Moderate Impact on your survival and scores a 244/1000.

Don’t let the number fool you. Being on the list of top thousand survival gear items is a big deal. Just being on the list makes this critical gear.

Stay warm, stay dry, you can’t help me fight the Zombie Hordes if you die of hypothermia first.

  • 100% Polyester.
  • Water proof and fast drying.
  • Made from breathable fabric.
  • Available in multiple patterns and colors.
  • Imported.
  • Zipper closure.

Ski Jacket

TJ Provost Leave a comment

Having a good Ski Jacket is key to surviving Cold Weather. What good is surviving a massive disaster to freeze to death? I keep one of these Jackets in my vehicle and another with my go gear. I have a third at my bold hole. these Jackets are so cost effective it just makes sense to have a few spares. My buddies are always happy when they come up to the cabin and are surprised by how cold it is. Thankfully I have a tote full of backup Cold Weather Gear. So they get to enjoy being outside drinking a few beers without freezing.

I know that if I need to go cross country or live on the the road while I walk to my Bolt hole this Ski Jacket will keep me warm, even in the worst weather. If I get stranded on the road in a snow storm the spare Jacket I keep in my vehicle makes a great blanket or even extra layer if its really cold.

Ski Jacket Scoring

This Ski Jacket can have a Moderate Impact on your survival and scores a 243/1000.

If you live in a climate that is always cold this Jacket is going to rank higher than just Moderate. Because I live in a location with four seasons it causes me to drop a few points from its score for me.

Don’t let the number fool you. Being on the list of top thousand survival gear items is a big deal. Just being on the list makes this critical gear.

  • Waterproof Windproof Snow Jacket.
  • Perfect for rain, mist, and any bad weather.
  • Keeps your body dry, warm, and comfortable.
  • Adjustable cuffs help seal your jacket to your gloves.
  • Highly wind resistant.
  • Strong and durable.
  • Relaxed-fit style with quick-dry material.

Winter Hat with Brim

TJ Provost Leave a comment

My wife hates my Winter Hat with Brim, but I love it. I hate two things. The first is having the sun in my eyes. The second is having cold ears. Thankfully, this Hat solves both those issues for me. The Brim keeps the sun out of my eyes while the Flaps keep my ears warm. When the snow is swirling around me and the wind is howling my Winter Hat keeps me nice and warm.

If the disaster hits during the winter, I know I have the gear to survive the cold. My location is on the edge of a city. That means that unless I get really lucky I am going to need to hike to my bolt hole. Which is why I keep this Hat with my Cold Weather Survival Gear. If the world ends in the winter, I know I’ve got the gear I need to survive the Cold Weather.

When it comes to surviving those low temperatures, you can’t beat this Winter Hat with Brim. The liner is ultra soft and comfy, and the hat looks awesome with the flaps up or down in my opinion. It is also warm and durable. What else could you want.

Winter Hat with Brim Scoring

This Winter Hat can have a Moderate Impact on your survival and scores a 242/1000. If you live in a climate that is always cold this Hat is going to rank higher than just Moderate. Because I live in a location with four seasons it causes me to drop a few points from its score for me.

  • Outer shell is made of water repellent fabric.
  • Protect you against the cold on extremely chilly days.

Sewing Kit

TJ Provost Leave a comment

This Sewing Kit is perfect for all those little repairs that happen at the worst times. When it comes to surviving after a major disaster, it is not having gear like this Kit that can wreck your day. Small tears in gear become big tears that makes the gear useless. I keep a Kit with my Camping Gear and another at my Bolt Hole.

The time will come when you can’t just order another pear of socks or pants, so be prepared to survive by making sure you have some Sewing skills and this Sewing Kit so you can repair tears and rips in clothing and gear.

This Sewing Kit can have a Low Impact on your survival and scores a 52/1000.

Torch Lighter

TJ Provost Leave a comment

This Torch Lighter is perfect to do everything from light a cigar, to a cigarette, to a camp fire. Best of all, because it is small and stylish, you can take it anywhere. That makes it an excellent bit of Everyday Carry Gear. I use mine to light my pipe. It takes about a half second to get the bowl going with this Lighter. It is also a nice way to offer a light when someone requests one.

When it comes to Camping Gear I prefer a Ferro Rod. A Ferro Rod lasts way longer then the fuel in this Lighter. But this Lighter has a different use for me. There are times when setting a fire quickly is a matter of survival. If you need to set a signal fire, the speed and ease of this Lighter makes it worth burning the fuel.

Post disaster I can think of several scenarios where a Lighter is preferrable over a Ferro Rod. If I need to create a flaming vehicle barricade behind me to flee, I don’t want to screw around with a Ferro Rod. I just want to pull the activator, set the fire, and run.

This Torch Lighter can have a Low Impact on your survival and scores a 99/1000. This Lighter gets points for being easy to carry everyday and use. It loses points because it requires fuel to be refilled. That fuel is going to be fairly hard to get after the stores shut for good and roads become clogged with abandoned cars.

Don’t let the number fool you. Being on the list of top thousand survival gear items is a big deal. Just being on the list makes this critical gear.

  • Very portable.
  • Jet lighter is windproof.
  • Adjustable flame.
  • With max temp up to 2800°F, it can easily deal with outdoor wind.
  • 2.8g gas capacity.
  • Refillable lighter with sturdy turbo nozzle.

LifeStraw Personal Water Filter

TJ Provost Leave a comment

This LifeStraw Personal Water Filter is a must have piece of gear. Clean water is critical to survival. Without it you will die within a few days. No exceptions, it is guaranteed. When it comes to surviving, having the ability to get clean water is the first, second, and third major thoughts that should go through your head every day. That means you should have one of these Filter Straws with each of your go bags. I keep another for travel.

I have taken my LifeStraw Personal Water Filters as far as India and as close as my local campground. Running out of water is not fun, and drinking dirty water is dangerous. When it comes to surviving whatever type of disaster is about to hit, having the ability to get a drink is a high priority, so make sure you plan to have at least one of these LifeStraw Personal Water Filters per person as a minimum.

Going on a long trip? Perfect time to throw a LifeStraw in your vehicle. Think about all those people stranded out in the snow on the highway. Sure they can melt snow if they make a fire, but did any of them have a pot to boil it in? Snow may look clean, but that doesn’t mean it is.

LifeStraw Personal Water Filter Scoring

These Personal Water Filters can have an Extreme Impact on your survival and score a 915/1000. It scores well because Clean Water is just a critical basic need. I suggest pairing it with a Gravity System at base camp so you have a source of clean water on the go, and at camp.

Plan on surviving, keep a LifeStraw available for when things go bad.

  • Removes bacteria and parasites.
  • Removes 99.999999% of waterborne bacteria.
  • Removes microplastics.
  • Provide 4,000 liters (1,000 gallons) of clean and safe drinking water.

Folding Pocket Knife

TJ Provost Leave a comment

I love my Kershaw Clash Pocket Knife for a bunch of reasons. The first is that it is well made, and perfect for just about any everyday task. The second is that at this price. I can actually use my Knife and not have to baby it for fear of breaking it. Who wants to use a knife that costs a couple hundred bucks to gut an animal or try to open a can of soup while out hunting?

The funny thing is that while I use my Pocket Knife hard I’ve yet to do more than scratch it up or ding the blade. When I do ding the blade I just get my file out and its good to go after a few minutes. I feel like if I had a more expensive blade I’d be way more careful with it and not get as much out of the Knife.

Like so many things in life – make sure this Pocket Knife is legal to carry, and how its legal to carry in your location. I live on the border of three states. In one of them I can carry it concealed because of its length. In the other two I can wear it but it has to be clearly visible at all times so it doesn’t become concealed. Bottom line, make sure you follow your local laws.

Folding Pocket Knife Scoring

This Pocket Knife can have a Low Impact on your survival and scores a 193/1000. This Knife is more of a utility tool for me. When it comes to survival, that is important. It is just that when it comes to self defense it loses points for the fact you have to open it, and the fact it has very short reach.

Don’t let the number fool you. Being on the list of top thousand survival gear items is a big deal. Just being on the list makes this critical gear.

  • 3.1″ 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade.
  • Black-oxide finish for excellent toughness.
  • Textured Glass-filled nylon handle scales.
  • Closed Length-4.25 inch
  • Drop-point, partially serrated blade.

Portable Female Urinal

TJ Provost Leave a comment

This Portable Female Urinal is the perfect gift for every female on every camping and road trip. If you are a female, or travel with one on a routine basis, this Female Urinal should be in your glove box and another should be in your backpack. It makes those quick pee stops so much easier, less messy, and drama free. My wife just refuses to squat in the weeds. Anywhere. That makes taking even a day hike problematic with her. Thankfully this Female Urinal has solved all our issues. She doesn’t mind actually peeing outside, she just had a bad experience with a tick once that has clearly scarred her.

When it comes to road trips I try to stick to a schedule. The more people you have in your vehicle, the harder it is to control bathroom breaks. These Female Urinals give me a huge advantage. If I have to stop it makes this quick and easy. But the goal is to just have people move to the back of the vehicle, do their business, and get back into their seats without affecting the schedule.

This Female Urinal also means that females don’t have to put themselves into a vulnerable position while peeing. They can stay upright and scan the woods as they pee – because who wants to get picked off by scavengers or the undead because they stayed hydrated?

Portable Female Urinal Scoring

This Portable Female Urinal can have an Extreme Impact on your survival and score a 914/1000. Everyone has to pee and after a disaster anything that makes performing the basic functions of life easier can have a massive impact on your quality of life and survival.

  • Made of high quality silicone.
  • Soft and comfortable.
  • Assists a female in urinating from a standing position.
  • Easy to clean and carry.

Neck Warmer

TJ Provost Leave a comment

When the wind is blowing this Neck Warmer makes all the difference between feeling that chill down to my bones versus staying warm and comfy. I do a lot of walking, and try not to let the weather stop me, rain, shine, hot, or cold. When it comes to cold, this Neck Warmer is a must have piece of Cold Weather Survival Gear. I’ve been on hikes where this Warmer was the only thing that let me keep on the move. The wind was just howling and while I was bundled up, the Warmer is what kept me from having frostbite on my neck and face. When the wind is so cold it burns, you will be glad you have this Warmer.

In a real disaster social norms are going to disintegrate. When the weather is cold these Warmers let your survival group hide their faces. That is helpful on a couple of levels. The first is that it keeps you warm. The second is that it lets you hide your face. It’s hard for someone to track you or spread rumors if they don’t actually know who they met on the trail. The third is that it hides details you may not want potential adversaries to have. How many teens and young women do you have in your group? Those seem like minor details now but post major disaster the scavengers will want to target weak groups who may also have people who meet a specific demographic. Don’t disclose anything you don’t have to.

  • 100% Acrylic
  • Imported
  • Double layer fleece
  • Washable neck
  • Soft and warm

Neck Warmer Scoring

This Neck Warmer can have a Low Impact on your survival and scores a 66/1000. It gets points for being super critical in the wrong cold weather situations and loses points for having a bit of a niche use.

Don’t let the number fool you. Being on the list of top thousand survival gear items is a big deal. Just being on the list makes this critical gear.
