Evaporative Cooling Vest

TJ Provost Leave a comment

As long as the relative humidity isn’t over 70 or 80 % this Evaporative Cooling Vest helps you keep cool. If you’ve ever been in a hot environment with a long distance stretching out in front of you, you know how effective one of these Cooling Vests can be. Yes, you could soak our tee-shirt in water and get the same basic effect, but where this Evaporative Cooling Vest shines is in how long it keeps working. Hours after your tee is stiff and dry, which means no more cooling effect, this Cooling Vest will still be keeping you cool.

When it comes to surviving what happens after the Apocalypse, you will be glad you have a few of these Evaporative Cooling Vests when the air goes out forever and the temperatures sore.

Evaporative Cooling Vest Scoring

This Evaporative Cooling Vest can have a Moderate Impact on your survival and scores 260/1000.

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.

Mosquito Repellent Suit

TJ Provost Leave a comment

This Mosquito Repellent Suit is better than insect spray for one really easy reason. Unlike spray, this Mosquito Suit doesn’t wear off over time and it won’t run out on day three of your hike. Don’t let the insects eat you alive and infect you with who knows what. If you are spending time out in the woods, make sure you keep a Mosquito Suit ready for when the bugs come out. Sure, wearing this Mosquito Repellent Suit may get you some looks, but if you are out on the trail for long enough, your bug spray will run out.

Pre disaster this Mosquito Repellent Suit will keep you from getting eaten no matter how far off the trail you wander. It is also perfect for hunting. Lots of animals can smell bug spray from miles off, especially if the you are upwind of the game. Thankfully with this Mosquito Suit you aren’t going to smell like harsh chemicals.

Post disaster the shelves are going to run out of bug spray before too long. If you don’t have a plan to deal with the bugs you are going to be in deep trouble. Most people don’t realize how many counties spray for insects. When a disaster wipes out all the infrastructure that keeps the mosquitos at bay you better believe the swarms are going to be thick.

The other reason to use this Mosquito Suit post disaster comes back to hunting again. Only you are going to be the prey and you don’t want anyone or anything to find you because you reek of bug spray.

Mosquito Repellent Suit Scoring

This Mosquito Repellent Suit can have a High Impact on your survival and scores 519/1000. Don’t get eaten alive – by anything.

  • See clearly through the mesh.
  • Perfect protection system for your outdoor activities.
  • Uses translucent net yarn to avoid blocking eyesight.
  • Convenient to carry and store in backpack.

Light Hiking Socks

TJ Provost Leave a comment

When it comes to your feet, a pair of these Light Hiking Socks are critical. It is hard to keep hiking if your feet are killing you. When your primary form of travel is walking, you need to take good care of your feet. Blisters make it hurt to walk. That break in your skin also leaves you open to infections. These Socks pull the moisture and sweat away from your skin which helps prevent skin break down, which is critical if you plan on walking any serious distance.

Most of us are spoiled. We get in our car or use a phone to have one pick us up at the curb. When disaster strikes and the roads are parking lots, you are going to have limited options left to get where you are going. For most of us that means walking. Be ready to move, and keep your feet in good condition with these Light Hiking Socks.

When the weather turns cold these Socks also make a perfect base layer. Put them on as the first layer and then your cold weather gear. It also means that as the weather warms you can just peel off layers until you are comfortable again.

Light Hiking Socks Scoring

The Hiking Socks can have a High Impact on your survival and score a 504/1000. Keeping your feet in good shape can mean the difference between making it to shelter before a storm or getting away from the hot zone as fast as possible.

  • 54% Nylon 43% Merino Wool 3% Lycra® Spandex
  • One of the lightest hike socks out there.
  • Light and strong with a thin layer of cushioning along base of foot.
  • Designed and Knit in Vermont.
  • Fast action wicking pulls moisture away from skin.
  • No more sweaty, stinky socks.
  • Comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Tire Traction Pads

TJ Provost Leave a comment

Tire Traction Pads are a must have for every season. If you plan on going cross country, or even across your lawn, these Traction Pads can get you out of trouble. They really are an all season piece of gear. In the summer even the grass median can turn to a treacherous swamp. Do you want to have to call a tow truck just because you pulled off into some grass. Do you drive onto the beach? You know exactly how these Traction Pads can save the day.

Come winter, the snow and slush can easily bog you down. When you just want to get out and get moving, these Tire Traction Pads are perfect. Jam them under your tires, slowly advance, and you are on your way. Just make sure to stop and pick them back up once you are clear. Unless of course you have a Zombie horde hot on your tail.

Tire Traction Pads Scoring

When it coming to keeping your vehicle on the move, these Traction Pads are a must have. I keep a set in my vehicle at all time. I’ve used them myself after getting bogged down helping a buddy get lumber into his back yard. I got in just fine but getting out left me tearing up his lawn and spinning my tires. Thankfully these Traction Pads solved the problem and once I was moving I didn’t stop until I was back on paved road.

When it comes to survival, these Traction Pads can have a moderate impact on your survival and score a 256/1000.

  • Two heavy-duty, off-road recovery boards.
  • 10 ton capacity.
  • Great for trucks, cars, SUVs, jeeps, or nearly any other vehicle.

Garage Door Screens

TJ Provost Leave a comment

These Garage Door Screens are an awesome addition to any garage. My buddy has a cabin out in the woods and his garage is set up as a bar. We open the garage doors, pull down these Garage Door Screens and enjoy the woods while we talk about how we are natural mountain men – and yes, there is a fan if we get too hot, because no mountain man should be forced to sweat while drinking an ice cold drink.

Want to save yourself from the mosquitos and bugs? You have to put these Door Screens up!

These Garage Door Screens may seem like a luxury Garage Survival Gear item but once the world ends the number of bugs is going to astound you. Most counties spray for bugs. Once they stop, its going to be uncomfortable, and maybe even dangerous to be out. Bugs can be a nuisance, but they can also dangerous. They spread illness and disease, and trust me when I say they are going to swarm when there are millions of dead bodies about.

Garage Door Screens Scoring

While the utility of these Screens varies depending on where you live and where your bolt hole is – they are still a solid purchase. Because a real disaster is going to leave the insects to breed like crazy these Screens score a 210/1000 and can have a moderate impact on your survival.

  • Screen seals around the entire edge of the garage door.
  • Automatically closes and stays closed.
  • Made of ultra-durable fiberglass.
  • Installs in minutes.

Evaporative Cooling Towel

TJ Provost Leave a comment

This Evaporative Cooling Towel is a key survival tool when the temperatures rise and there is no air conditioning in sight. Wet it down, twirl in the air, and lay it on the back of your neck to get relief.

This Evaporative Cooling Towel is the first thing on my Warm Weather Survival gear list. Why? Because it is dirt cheap and highly effective. Heat stroke can disable you permanently or kill you. It is not something to play with. This Evaporative Cooling Towel gives you the ability to stay out of that red zone before it becomes life threatening.

If you are playing, working, or out hiking cross country, you can have an effective strategy to keep cool with nothing but some water and this Evaporative Cooling Towel. If you are hiking that can mean the difference between having to go to ground until the temperatures drops versus being able to safely continue forward.

Evaporative Cooling Towel Scoring

Air conditioning is going to be a dream after the Zombie Apocalypse. Staying cool is going to come down to planning and being smart. Stay out of the sun unless you have no choices during the worst heat of the day and take care of business early in the morning or later in the day. This Cooling Towel is a key part of that strategy to stay cool when you have no air condition to escape to which is why it scores a

YETI Tundra Haul Portable Wheeled Cooler

TJ Provost Leave a comment

When it comes to keeping things cold when the temperatures are soaring this YETI Tundra Haul Portable Wheeled Cooler is a must have. Fill it with ice, food, and booze, and then try to open it as infrequently as possible. I’ve had a dozen coolers over my years of hunting and fishing, but this YETI is the last one I’ll ever need. It is built to last and has stood up to all the abuse I’ve thrown at it easily.

Some of the best hunting and fishing is way off the main trail and I have a rule. If I kill it, I’m going to eat it. Thanks to this YETI Tundra Cooler I can bring home everything I bag and nothing goes to waste.

I almost feel bad taking this YETI Tundra Cooler to the beach. The sun doesn’t stand a chance and by mid afternoon when other people are picking warm beers out of their inferior coolers I still have ice cold drinks and plenty of ice to make a few mixers.

Even though I live an hour from the coast, we still lose power due to hurricanes and storms at least once a year. We keep a few one gallon jugs in our freezer, and when the power goes out we load up the Cooler with the ice and food. Our fridge is no where near as insulated as this YETI Tundra Cooler and leaving the food in the fridge just means it will get warm within a day and we will have to throw it out. To be honest, this YETI Tundra Cooler has probably already paid for itself with the food we haven’t had to toss when the power goes out.

Tundra Portable Wheeled Cooler Scoring

When it comes to surviving everything from natural disasters to the Zombie Apocalypse, you will be grateful you have this YETI Tundra Cooler to optimize your food storage. Pair this Cooler with some solar and a freezer, and you can make ice even after the power goes out. This YETI Cooler scores a 725 as it can have a high impact on your survival.

Cooling UPF 50 Bucket Hat

TJ Provost 1 Comment

There is nothing worse than the sun in your eyes, except maybe sunburn on your nose. Which makes this Cooling UPF 50 Bucket Hat a must have to survive the sun. The brim on this UPF 50 Bucket Hat is perfect to keep the sun, and the rain off my glasses. If you have been to Florida, you know how quickly those two things can alternate.

I have one Hat that has now been to India twice, Florida six or seven times, and various other Caribbean islands. So I am confident that if you get these Cooling UPF 50 Bucket Hats they will last. I also like that I can scrunch it up and put it in my pack without having to worry about destroying it.

I spend a good bit of time out in the woods, and I like the “bronze green” Cooling UPF 50 Bucket Hat for blending in. When I’m just having fun I prefer the “Sea Palm” Hat. The bordered edge looks cool in my humble opinion.

Don’t wait until your out in the sun with burnt retinas before you think about buying a UPF 50 Bucket Hat. Plan ahead and keep that sun off your face. Once your out in the sun burning its already too late. That goes double for when a natural disaster, or the Zombie Apocalypse strikes. It’s going to be too late to gear up once you actually need the gear. Plan ahead, make sure you have the gear you need to survive now!

Cooling UPF 50 Bucket Hat Scoring

If you plan on being outside this UPF 50 Bucket Hat is a key piece of survival gear. It can have a moderate impact on your survival and scores a 410/1000.

  • Cools to 30 degrees below average body temperature when wet!
  • Easy to fold small for packing or sticking in your back pocket.
  • Stay active longer, reduce risk of heat stroke.
  • 3’ brim and UPF 50 fabric offers excellent sun protection.
  • Machine washable.

Warm Weather Sleeping Bag

TJ Provost Leave a comment

When I went camping and hiking a lot, I never took a tent with me for short trips in the summer. Anything less than a week and I’m fine with just a tarp on the ground and my Warm Weather Sleeping Bag. If it is pouring rain I look for some high ground and use my tarp to create a rain fly or just keep walking. There is something invigorating about walking through the woods in the rain.

At just over a pound and a half, this Warm Weather Sleeping Bag is perfect to add a bit of comfort to your hike, and even though it might be hot during the day, its not uncommon for the overnight temperatures drop enough to make a Sleeping Bag a must have item. Who wants to wake up shivering while waiting for the sun to rise enough to warm you up a bit. Sleep well, keep the bugs off you, and stay warm in your Warm Weather Sleeping Bag.

As a bonus, this is small and light enough just to clip to the outside of your pack if your already loaded up with food, water, and ammunition. It is also small enough that I throw one in my vehicle for long road trips. If I get the chance to sleep under the stars, I will take that any day over a barely cleaned hotel room.

We lost power this week after someone drove into a telephone pole. After texting my boys that we were out of power, one of the first responses was asking me if I was going to sleep in the yard. What can I say, my boys know me.

Warm Weather Sleeping Bag Scoring

I love this Sleeping Bag because of how small and light it is. It is easy to clip onto my pack or grab if I’m thinking about spending a night out in the woods to get a jump on the morning hunt. This Sleeping Bag scores a 198/1000 because while it is awesome, its going to have a low impact on overall survival in most circumstances.

  • Waterproof and durable.
  • Breathable and skin-friendly.
  • 83″L x 30″W, the size fits for most people.
  • Compact, lightweight and easy to carry.
  • Just 1.7lbs in weight. Ideal for backpacking.
