100-Lumen Pen Light

TJ Provost Leave a comment

This 100-Lumen Pen Light is the perfect mix of small, light, and bright. All in a package that easily slips into a pocket. It is perfect for when you drop things in the dark, need a bit of light when hiking, or just need to fix something in a dark corner.

My experience is that when things go bad, the first thing that goes out is the power. I was on the 20th floor of an office building in Philadelphia when it lost power. Emergency lights came on, then immediately went out. I don’t think they were supposed to do that. This was in the 1990s, so we didn’t all have cell phones – and none of us had a flashlight. I still feel that uneasy fear when I think about how we went down nine or ten flights of emergency stairs before we finally got back to a level with lights. That was when I decided to always keep a Pen Light on me. If it has been more than a power outage, I would have really needed a light.

Fifteen years later I was in India when the power grid failed, and yes, i was in a high rise, but I’d learned my lesson and had my Pen Light on me. It’s amazing how just having a light in the dark helps keep the panic at bay.

Now I carry this 100-Lumen Pen Light with me as both a bit of Everyday Carry Gear as well as a Hidden Survival Gear must have. I love that this fits easily in a pocket, and also has a rubberized coating so I can hold it in my mouth and use both hands to do whatever needs doing.

100-Lumen Pen Light Scoring

This Pen Light can have a moderate impact on your survival and scores a 239/1000. Light is critical to survival, and this is a must have bit of everyday carry gear to make sure you have that light when you need it.

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.

  • 100 Lumens of powerful light.
  • Rubberized bite zone.

Concealment End Table

TJ Provost Leave a comment

This Concealment End Table is the perfect way to keep self defense weapons close by but safely hidden. Yes, I am a bit of a survival nut. I like to have a layered plan that gives me a ton of redundancy. That means that I have furniture like this Concealment End Table close at hand so I can discretely keep whatever I need to survive where I’m most likely to be when the world blows up.

Best of all, if you have a cabin or bolt hole and it does get robbed, they are going to look for things like a gun safe, but if you keep your gear hidden, they are less likely to find it. I am also a very sneaky son of a beech. I cut a small square in the rug under one my end tables. If you do come in to rob me I have to open the floor safe so you can get some cash. Which puts me directly in front of this End Table and whatever surprises I have stored in it.

Don’t be caught off guard, make sure you have a plan to survive no matter what happens. Make a primary plan and then a backup. Once you have that, make a backup to your backup to your backup. If things go horribly wrong your pre planning is the only thing that will keep you alive.

Concealment End Table Scoring

This End Table can have a moderate impact on your survival and scores a 237/1000.

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.

  • Concealed drop down-then-out compartment.

  • Classic end table design.
  • Solid wood construction.

Weatherproof Pen

TJ Provost Leave a comment

This Rite in the Rain Weatherproof Pen is just the thing to go with your Weatherproof Notebook. What good is having an all weather Weatherproof Notebook if you don’t have the correct tool to write in it? Keep one of these Weatherproof Pens in your pocket and it won’t matter if its pouring rain or if your covered in mud. You’ll be able to write down critical information, or leave behind notes for the rest of your team.

It’s low tech, but my guess is that cell phones and a lot of the other technology we rely on everyday is going to stop working once the Zombies start biting. And, as a last resort, you can use it as a weapon to kill the Undead – you just have to be close in and have good aim to get this through an eye socket or two.

Weatherproof Pen Scoring

This Weatherproof Pen can have a moderate impact on your survival and scores a 236/1000.

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.

  • Writes through water, grease, and mud without clumping or smearing.
  • Writes in temperatures from -30F to 250F.
  • Writes under water (up to 35 ft), and any angle.
  • Ideal pen for All-Weather Notebooks.

Self Defense Siren

TJ Provost Leave a comment

These Self Defense Sirens are a utility tool as far as I’m concerned. I have one for my wife’s keychain. If she gets in trouble she is pulling this and then her Pepper Spray. When it comes to non lethal self defense for people who don’t have other hand to hand combat skills, you can’t beat this combo.

These Sirens help you fight violence and unwanted attention, because when this goes off the people bothering you are going to run. If they don’t, that means you are in a very isolated location – and that you should fight for your life and don’t hold back. Still, these Sirens can still distract your attacker giving you an opening to run or attack. If you are in a populated area this Siren is going to draw attention your way which is a good thing. 

The other reason I love these Sirens is their alarm capabilities. Easily create a alarm anywhere you need one. Put a cord on any gear you want to keep and if your bike, bag, or anything else is moved it is going to pull the alarm. This has saved my bag on the beach on two different occasions. I bury a cup of sand with a cord on it and attach it to my backpack. If anyone tries the casual snatch and walk away they are in for a surprise.

If we are lucky enough to face a Zombie Apocalypse, these are perfect Zombie aggregators. Pull the pin, throw your Self Defense Siren and watch as the biters swarm the noise. It is a great way to pull the Zombies away so you can escape, or shoot into a more tightly packed group of targets.

Self Defense Siren Scoring

These Sirens can have a moderate impact on your survival and score a 233/1000.

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.

Your ability to use these Self Defense Sirens is really only limited by your imagination.

  • Easy to carry anywhere you go.
  • Self defense siren is the fastest way to get help and attention.
  • Easy to use by everyone from kids to seniors.
  • Can be easily heard up to 1000ft away.
  • Military-Grade Durability.
  • Waterproof.
  • Provides 365-day Battery Life.

Portable Power Bank Jump Starter

TJ Provost Leave a comment

This Portable Power Bank Jump Starter is perfect for multiple reasons. The first is that I can use it to charge my gear, which always useful. The second is that it let’s me jump start my vehicles. I’ve used this to save my wife and kids on multiple occasions. Because I have it, I’m usually the first call my kids and their friends make when they have a dead battery. I usually start getting calls as the weather gets colder. My son’s friends all have older cars and it seems like everyone calls me if they need a jump. Having this Portable Jump Starter makes life so easy. I don’t have to worry about trying to position my vehicle close enough to theirs to run cables or worry if someone is parked right up against them. Nope, just pop the hood and we are good to go.

Post Apocalypse, this Portable Power Bank Charger Jump Starter will be worth its weight in gold. There will be a window where cars will still be usable – but their batteries will most likely be dead after a few weeks/months of sitting idle. Thankfully this Portable Jump Starter will let me get them started, and drive them home, drastically increasing my scavenging ability.

Portable Power Bank Jump Starter Scoring

This Portable Power Bank Jump Starter can have a moderate impact on your survival and scores a 229/1000.

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.

  • Start dead batteries.
  • Rated for gasoline engines up to 8 liters and diesel engines up to 6 liters.

  • Weighs just 5 pounds.

High Power Light Bar

TJ Provost Leave a comment

This High Power Light Bar is the perfect edition to every vehicle. If you go off the main roads this is a must have. Headlights are great, but they are lower to the ground, and just don’t provide the same field of view as this Light Bar.

That means better visibility, and longer times to react to whatever your driving up on. All useful things when you are trying to get to your bolt hole as the town below you is being torn apart by Zombies.

200W Car Power Inverter

TJ Provost Leave a comment

This 200W Car Power Inverter is a must have for your vehicle. This Inverter gives me the flexibility to power tons of devices not designed to use the 12V electricity in your vehicle. You can plug gear into this Inverter using both the regular socket, but also the four USB plugs. Want to charge your GPS, Phone, and flashlights on the go? You need this Inverter.

Back when my kids were little we had one of these Power Inverters so they could use those little all in one DVD players on long road trips. Yes, this was before fancy tablets were on the market – I’m old. Now I use it for all my gear, including my laptop when I’m on the road, and it is a must have when your vehicle is your base of operations for any period of time.

That gives me lots of options when disaster strikes. I can keep my communications gear charged so I can stay in touch with my family.

200W Car Power Inverter Scoring

This Inverter gives me a ton of flexibility. Any vehicle can become a mobile recharging station for tons of critical gear. This can have a moderate impact on your survival. This Inverter scores a 219/1000. Don’t let the number fool you. Being on the top thousand survival gear items means its still a must have. Just making it on the list makes it critical gear.

  • Premium 200W car power inverter.
  • 3. 2 x 2. 5 x 1. 5 inches.
  • Lightweight at approximately 8 oz.
  • Built-in fuse to protect your devices.
  • Integrated cooling fan.

Solar Panel Starter Kit

TJ Provost Leave a comment

This Solar Panel Starter Kit is perfect for every off grid location. It is small, relatively cheap in the grand scheme of things, and means I can power up critical gear. What good is having a nice GPS unit if you can’t keep it powered up for when you need it? Same with phones.

I love how this Solar Panel Starter Kit is so flexible. I can use it for my off grid cabin or use it on my boat, RV, or any other vehicle I can mount it on. This means I can charge phones, radios, and even string some LED Lights up, and trust me you will need them. Most of us are not used to being outside when its gets dark, and it will be dark, very dark after a catastrophic disaster.

Regardless of where you set up this Solar Kit it means you are going to have power. That means you can string up LED Lights. Have you ever tried to cook or clean a gun by firelight? It’s not easy and its not fun. Especially if you drop something. Lights mean you can cook, clean weapons, or do other maintenance tasks after dark. It also means you can turn on the lights if something goes bump in the night around you. Much better to know its a possum than something that wants to kill you.

Solar Panel Starter Kit Scoring

This Solar Panel Starter Kit can have a high impact on your survival. Simply having lights in the dark can have a huge impact. Add in the ability to power up devices and run small electric appliances and this Kit should be on your list of high priority gear to acquire. It scores a 650/1000.

Outdoor Extension Cord

TJ Provost Leave a comment

You can never have enough Outdoor Extension Cords. I use them for both indoor and outdoor, year round. I’ve got a set that stays with the holiday lights and more in the garage. My favorite use is running a projector outside and watching a movie against the house.

Come the cold weather you will also see these Extension Cords running out to the field next to my house. We have heating pads for the feral cats who live in our field. Yes, after the kids moved out my wife and I went full cat crazy.

Outdoor Extension Cord Scoring

Pair this Outdoor Extension Cord with a Generator and you can set up an awesome camp. That means lights, recharging portable devices, and even fans during the warm weather. If a disaster hits and the power goes out, you will need both to stay comfortable.

This Extension Cord can have a moderate impact on your survival. It scores a 201/1000.

  • Great for gardening, landscaping, or powering any household appliance.
  • Flexible covering protects cords against moisture, abrasion and sunlight.
  • 12 gauge heavy duty wire.
  • The female end of the cord lights up to indicate when the power is on.

Solar Pendant Lights

TJ Provost Leave a comment

I have a wonderful workshop/shed that is at the back of my property. Without these Solar Pendant Lights I would have been forced to pay hundred or thousands of dollars to run a power line out there. These Solar Lights let me put a light wherever I need it. Im looking forward to when I can build a tree fort for grand kids, because you better believe it is going to have solar lights inside.

Because these Solar Pendant Lights also have a motion sensing mode I can put them outside gates and even my shed entrance so that if someone does sneak by I will at least see who it is and what they are doing. It also helps scare off people who are trying to be stealthy. When the lights come on, most people run if they are about to do dirty deeds in the dark.

Do you have a regular camp site? You can put up these Solar Lights and have light wherever you need it. Trust me when I say that using an outhouse by flashlight is much harder than just setting up a Solar Pendant Light.

Solar Pendant Lights Scoring

When it comes to Off The Grid, you can’t go wrong with these Solar Pendant Lights. I keep a few extra sets so when the power goes off during the Zombie Apocalypse my Bolt Hole will still have lights. Throw a few more sets out in the woods on motion sensing mode and you also have an early warning system of inbound biters.

These Solar Lights score a 415/1000. It’s hard to survive if you don’t have light to see what’s going on.
