Air Horn

This Air Horn is everything from a security device to a multi functional tool. It is a must have safety item for hikers and campers. Why? Because it doesn’t need cell service or rely on radio waves. Basically that means it works wherever you are.

My first bit of advice is that if you are out in the great outdoors with kids, or just people who don’t routinely adventure out into the wilderness, give each of them an Air Horn. It will scare off most wild creatures. But more importantly, it is an easy way to signal if they get lost. Make sure they know what to do. Stop moving. The only reason to move is to find water or shelter. Blow the horn every fifteen minutes. If they hear a return blast, reply. That will let the rescue party find you!

This Air Horn is also a great home defense tool. If someone is trying to break into your house or creeping around your camp site, guess what will get 9/10ths of those people running? You got it, a few blasts of an Air Horn will scare off most creepers. If you are anywhere near other people, it will get them up to help you as well. The other, sad reality, is that the people who don’t run off are likely there for bad reasons. So don’t hesitate if they keep coming. Once you confirm they are a threat, don’t hesitate to use as much force as needed to stop them.

I also keep an Air Horn in my vehicle. Want to flag down help? A few blasts of an Air Horn really gets people’s attention.

The other reason I love my Air Horn is my ability to set up harmless traps. Want to be alerted when someone comes through the woods at the back of your property? A few eye bolts, cables, and a little Air Horn configuration and you have a harmless alarm trap. It also has the bonus of scaring off most would be intruders.

Air Horn Scoring

Folding Campfire Grill

This Portable Outdoor Folding Campfire Grill is the perfect way to turn any fire into a camp kitchen. I’ve seen so many meals and pots of coffee end up in the fire over the years. People play the rock balancing game. They try to use fire wood to make a stable shelf near the flames. It eventually leads to frustration when you meal falls into the fire! The good news is this Campfire Grill is portable and sets up in under a minute.

Pre disaster, these Grills are worth their weight in gold. They are heavy enough to feel sturdy, but not so heavy that you can’t hike it into your camp. If you discover one of these near a fire pit, feel free to use it, but leave it for the next hiker. There are several trails I used to hike frequently where my buddies and I would just leave them behind so we didn’t have to hike them back in.

Post disaster these Grills make it easy to cook outside. That is important. I won’t be wasting my batteries on powering my stove. I’ll save that energy for critical things like lights and refrigeration for food. Cooking inside in the summer is also a sure way to make your living space too warm for comfort. Much better to just cook outside!

Folding Campfire Grill Scoring

This Portable Outdoor Folding Campfire Grill can have a Low Impact on your survival and scores 179/1000.

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.

  • Heavy-duty campfire grill for cooking over an open fire.
  • Made of high-quality welded steel with a steel-mesh grill top.
  • For use with outdoor cookware, including heavy cast iron.
  • Not intended for direct-contact grilling.
  • Legs angle out for stability and fold up underneath for easy transport and compact storage.

Honey

You can never have too much Honey stockpiled. The reason is simple. Honey can be stored forever, never goes bad, is calorie dense, and has medicinal usages. It really is a near perfect food.

Because of Honey’s antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties it has been used to treat illness and wounds since 3000BC in Egypt. When ingested it treats diarrhea and stomach ulcers caused by H. pylori bacteria. For external wounds, it can be applied directly to reduce swelling and reduce the chances of infection. It is believed that on top of its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, the viscosity of the fluid over the wound acts as a physical barrier to contamination after the initial injury. It also ensures that whatever wound dressings don’t stick to the wound. That sounds odd, but the honey keeps the dressing from getting directly onto the wound, so you are less likely to rip open the wound when you are changing dressings.

In a survival situation Honey is basically the only burn treatment you are going to have. Event a moderate sized burn can be dangerous if you can’t get professional medical treatment. Honey can keep that wound covered and help the wounded survive until the skin can close, or you can get them better care. The big issue with moderate to large burns is the secondary infections that set in once the tissue under the skin is exposed. Honey keeps that tissue covered up.

Put all that together and you understand why I put so much Honey on the shelves at my Bolt Hole.

Honey Scoring

Honey can have an High Impact on your survival and scores 875/1000. Stock up now! Why? Because it has a ton of uses and a little bit can go a long way.

Cross Cut Hand Saw

Power tools are awesome – until the power runs out. Then you’ll be glad you have this Cross Cut Hand Saw to finish your project. A good Hand Saw should be part of every toolbox, and especially your Bolt Hole toolbox. If you are off grid, a Hand Saw is a must have to build just about anything. Even if you have power, you may not want to waste it on power tools, or maybe you don’t want to generate that extra noise.

Power tools are great but if you are using solar to power you off grid camp it may be too much draw on your system. Post disaster the sound of a power tool is going to carry a long way. That may not be good if there are desperate survivors about. Or Zombies. Being quiet might just save your life. But you still need to cut boards to secure your windows and doors!

How does this Hand Saw compare to the Folding Saw? They really serve two different purposes. This Hand Saw is really aimed at your Bolt Hole and dimensional lumber. The Folding Saw is for camping and hiking and is aimed at cutting unprocessed wood for posts, palisades, and of course your fire!

Cross Cut Hand Saw Scoring

This Cross Cut Hand Saw can have a Moderate Impact on your survival and scores 274/1000.

I trust this Utility Bucket to hold my gear and take a beating when moving anything from rocks to water, I know it will survive in the back of my vehicle through the seasons, because you never know when you will need a Bucket and maybe some TP.

Wireless Alarm Kit

This Olymbros Alarm Kit is the perfect wireless alarm system. I love how flexible they let me be. I can discretely put them in trees, bushes, or anywhere I need to. That means no one is ever going to find my Alarm Sensors unless I show them where to look. Because I can put them in so many places it makes them easy to hide. I can also move them around easily. Even if you find one, it may not be where you think it is a few days later!

This Olymbros Alarm Kit gives me the piece of mind that having early warning brings. If someone is sneaking across the back of my property it is going to alert me. That gives me time to get an appropriate response ready.

That peace of mind extends to hunting and camping. I can put a sensor or two on a trail and if something triggers it I know its there. That means safety in case it’s not a game animal. It also improves my odds of getting game because its hard to scan every train all the time.

I’ve also used these to alarm me if someone comes near my camp while I’m gone, and even my vehicle. People suck sometimes. These alarms let me know that someone has approached my vehicle so I can get back to it if I need to.

Wireless Alarm Kit Scoring

This Olymbros Alarm Kit can have a High Impact on your survival and scores 529/1000.

  • Wide detecting angles.
  • 65ft./20m long detecting distance.
  • Communication range up to 650ft./200m.
  • Best choice hunting accessory!
  • 3 Alarm Modes.
  • Up to 100 sensors on 1 receiver watch.
  • Add components at any time.

Pre-Seasoned Dutch Oven

I’m not the best camp cook in the world, I like simple recipes that I can set and forget – which makes this Pre-Seasoned Dutch Oven the perfect vessel to use as a crockpot while at base camp or your cabin. Have a roast, some vegetables and maybe a can of beer or other stock? Throw it all in the Dutch Oven and set it over a low fire (or directly in the coals) in the morning and come supper time you will have a mouth watering dinner. I’ve found that keeping the Dutch Oven either off to the side or in a bed of coals works best as I tend to use it as a slow cooker – but it does take some experimenting with to find out what works best for your dishes.

Your ability to cook with this Dutch Oven is really limited only by your imagination. I’ve seen people cook bread, stews, eggs, roasts, flatbread, vegetables, steaks, chops, and even ribs. It really just comes down to learning how your dishes behave in the Dutch Oven.

When you don’t have all the regular kitchen implements you are spoiled with in your day to day lives this Dutch Oven is a multi use tool that can make your camp or Off The Grid kitchen better.

Pre-Seasoned Dutch Oven Scoring

This is a must have for any base camp, cabin, or bolt hole. This Dutch Oven can have a Low Impact on your survival and scores 181/1000.

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.

  • Lifetime warranty.
  • Self-basting domed lid preserves moisture; loop handles aid in carrying
  • Pre-seasoned with vegetable oil formula and ready for immediate use
  • Rugged cast-iron construction heats slowly and evenly
  • 5-Quart Dutch oven with cast-iron lid ideal for slow-cooking foods

Lock-It Block-It

Modern windows are relatively easy for a burglar to get through even when they are locked. If you are like me and need to leave the window cracked to get some air, security gets even more problematic. That is where these Lock-It Block-It security sticks come in. You have two choices. For temporary use I stick a bit of Velcro on the Lock-It Block-It and another bit on the window frame. That makes them perfect for all types of travel. Secure the windows without leaving any permanent marks. For permanent installation I use a screw.

Sure, a persistent burglar could still get in, but you’re going to scare off all the thief’s who aren’t really motivated, and more important, your going to buy yourself time to react.

I also love how these slide into each other. They aren’t tiny, but they are small enough to travel with so I can lock my sliding glass door at the hotel, especially if I am on the ground floor. It’s nice to be next to water, but I hate that feeling of being so exposed to everyone walking by.

These are also great to lock the window down on a window air conditioner. That makes me feel safer that pets and children won’t find themselves falling out the window.

Lock-It Block-It Scoring

When it comes to security basics, these Lock-It Block-It sticks are a must have and can have a High Impact on your survival with a score of 528/1000.

  • High-impact durable plastic.
  • Combined cylinders are as thick as two nickels.
  • Windows can stay open and be securely LOCKED OPEN from 1 inch to several inches.
  • Extendable & Adjustable!
  • Control how high you want the window to open with the 13 adjustable settings.
  • Device is 1 inch by 1 inch wide on all sides.
  • Quick & easy installation. No tools needed.

Backpacking Trowel

I love my Backpacking Trowel. It is one of those all purpose tools that I can’t imagine heading out onto the trail without. My top two uses for this Trowel are to dig cat holes (single use latrines) and to dig out a shallow pit for fires. I don’t want to risk my fire spreading if the wind picks up and putting the pit below grade is the first step to keep that from happening. I’ve also used this Trowel to chip ice away from streams to get to flowing water as well as to saw and chop through small branches. That cutting ability comes in handy when I need a pole arm to stick this Trowel on to turn it into a spear.

I also keep one of these in my vehicle. It is an awesome bit of Hidden Survival Gear. No one blinks or thinks twice when they see it in my vehicle. If they do ask I tell them I use it to dig cat holes or spread salt when the way is icy. The cat hole part is true, but the real reason I keep this Trowel in my vehicle is because I can stick it on the end of a pole and make a spear.

Be prepared, survive!!!!
