Cut Resistant Gloves

TJ Provost Leave a comment

Cut Resistant Gloves are a key piece of gear if you do a lot of food prep. They are critical if you are butchering your own game! If you fish, hunt, and butcher your own game these Gloves are a must have. If they save you from one wound, they will pay for themselves ten times over. When it comes to surviving, these Gloves can make all the difference. If you cut yourself at your hunting camp, it’s going to ruin the whole trip. It also puts you at risk of permanent damage depending on how bad the wound is. I have a buddy who slides across his hand cutting a bagel in his kitchen. He cut tendons and to this day his grip strength in his wounded hand is half of what it is in his good hand.

Don’t roll the dice with an injury when there is such a simple fix, wear your Cut Resistant Gloves whenever you are prepping food.

Pre disaster these Gloves can save you from injury and massive health care costs. Those injuries can take months to heal from if you cut tendon and leave you permanently disabled. Now think about what would happen if there are no more hospitals to go to. In a post disaster/apocalypse situation that type of hand wound could easily result in you not surviving.

Emergency Food Rations

TJ Provost Leave a comment

These Emergency Food Rations are perfect for your go bag, day pack, and hunting gear. Whenever I’m going hiking or hunting, I throw a pack of these Emergency Rations in my pack. Even if I’m not going to be more than a few miles from my vehicle. I’ve only had to use them once, but they made a huge difference. When it’s cold and snowy and you take a break to build a fire you will be glad you have a little something to put in your belly.

In cold weather, I keep these Emergency Food Rations in my pack for every trip. I don’t care if it’s a hike or just a trip across town to get gas. You never know when circumstances are going to leave you stranded. I’ve only been stranded a few times but having the gear to survive makes all the difference. What might be a scary situation turns into something much more manageable. Having the right gear makes all the difference.

Post disaster these Food Rations are perfect for the initial run to your bolt hole. Or just the run away from the worst of the chaos. Once things get a little more stable and its time to scavenge and scout these are perfect for those trips that you plan on being only a day but which turn into two or three.

Freeze Dried Sliced Strawberries

TJ Provost Leave a comment

You can make an argument that these Freeze Dried Sliced Strawberries are about having fruit and vitamins in your diet. That is true, but for me, these Strawberries are a pure luxury items. I don’t eat sugar on a regular basis, which makes these Strawberries taste like little slices of heaven. So these are a treat, and I can only imagine that these are going to taste even better when I’m resting in my bolt hole while the outside world goes to hell.

I keep these Strawberries on a high shelf in my pantry. If I don’t they seem to evaporate. I take baggies of them camping, hiking, and as a treat when hunting. They are perfect to add to pancakes or eat with whip cream. And of course right out of the container.

Biscuits & Gravy

TJ Provost Leave a comment

These Biscuits & Gravy pouches are the perfect way to start the day. Especially if I’m about to hike a few miles or sit in a cold blind waiting for the sun to come up so I can snatch a few ducks out of the air. It also doesn’t hurt that I am a serious carb fiend. These Biscuits & Gravy pouches are light, easy to pack for trips, and delicious. With just a bit of hot water I am ready to eat a hearty and satisfying meal. I like to use my Long Handled Spoon to eat directly out of the pouch. That means I can start the day with almost no clean up and very little waste.

When I need meal that will power me through the day on the trail or the hunt I go with these pouches. They are also easy to throw in my pack or bag so I have a quality emergency meal if I get stuck out in the wilds overnight when I wasn’t really planning on it.

I also keep these in my Bug Out Bag as quick and easy food when I just need to grab my family and run.

Sugar Packets

TJ Provost 1 Comment

These Sugar Packets are all about convenience. I keep a handful in my vehicle and more in my pack. They are also great at portion control. It’s hard to use too much if you limit yourself to one packet per food/drink item. While I don’t use Sugar a lot, I do like some in my oatmeal. Using the one packet method helps me make sure I don’t get the Sugar jitters.

I like these Packets because I can throw a few in my pack and the work better at the cabin than a bowl of Sugar that gets gross from people putting wet spoons in it. Know what I mean?

These little Packets might as well be gold a few months into the Apocalypse, and I plan on using them to trade with other survivors once the initial craziness burns out.

Southwest Chili Mix

TJ Provost Leave a comment

This Southwest Chili Mix is one of my staples while hunting and camping. I enjoy it so much that I’ll eat it for several meals a day. This whole container weighs 58.2 ounces (3.5 lbs). That means I can carry this freeze dried Chili and easily have food for more than ten days. That simplicity works for me. Sure, I can mix it up by adding in other food stores like this 15 Day Food Supply but I like to cycle my freeze dried goods and eat the older stuff on various trips. Opening multiple containers means I might risk wasting some.

When it comes to prepping for the next major disaster I love these Augason Farms #10 cans. They have never let me down when it comes to taste and food quality. They are also easy to stack and store. I can fit a year supply of food for my family of four on two shelves in my pantry. That gives me a sense of peace. I know that my family won’t be starving if things fall completely apart.

Portable Butane Stove

TJ Provost Leave a comment

This Portable Butane Stove is perfect for those times that building a fire isn’t practical – or allowed. I’ve been at campsites so dry that a fire of any size creates a real hazard. Other times there is just no wood left. If you are on rocky ground or just a well hiked trail, sometimes the only option is to bring your on Butane Stove with you. Thankfully this Portable Butane Stove ensures I can cook a warm meal regardless of where I am. This Stove is part of my car camping kit as well as cross country travel gear. I’d rather stop and cook some food and sleep under the stars than stay in an overpriced hotel room. Especially if I am on the west, where the land is just beautiful.

Post disaster the gas and electric are going to go out quickly. If you are lucky enough to have solar or wind you will be step ahead. The rest of us will be cooking on our Butane Stoves. The world can be burning and the Zombies can be biting, but I can’t get started without a cup of Coffee in the morning.

Portable Butane Stove Scoring

This Portable Butane Stove can have a Moderate Impact on your survival and scores a 259/1000. It was really hard scoring the Portable Camping Stove compared to this unit. In the end I’m giving the Butane Stove just a few more points because it can be used without leaving the smell of smoke on the wind. Sure, you need butane, but if you need to be discrete, this Butane Stove earns a few extra points.

Camping Table

TJ Provost Leave a comment

This Camping Table is awesome. It folds up so its is easy to take wherever I need it. The legs are height adjustable so I can still level it out even on uneven ground. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen people struggling to prep for dinner on rocks, the ground, or on the edge of a tarp. Screw that, I bring my Camping Table when I go camping and everything is right there where I need it to prep and cook. It is perfect for tailgating, car camping, everyday BBQs and pretty much any and every time you need to set up food and fun outside.

It is often the little things we take for granted. What happens if I have to bug out and set up in the woods? Sure I can make a table if I have some tools and time. But, having this Camping Table means I can use that time to handle other more critical tasks like security or recovering food and supply caches. It also means I can keep my head up more instead of being focused on the ground while working. Have you ever tried to disassemble and clean a weapon on the ground? It sucks.

Portable Camping Stove

TJ Provost 1 Comment

This Portable Camping Stove has saved my butt on so many occasions. I head to campsite and find it so picked over there is barely enough wood to start a small fire. It was one of those trips which made me go out and buy this Portable Stove. It is very fuel efficient, and can be fed anything from sticks to charcoal, or anything burnable. That gives you a lot of options to generate heat for warmth or cooking.

Post disaster this Portable Stove not only gives you fuel efficient options, but also discrete ones. Because it burns hot it minimizes smoke. That means that if you are trying not to attract the attention of other desperate survivors, you can still cook or boil water. Post Zombie Apocalypse, foraging for fuel isn’t going to be a lot of fun, but with this Camping Stove you can optimize how long you can go before having to go back out for more wood, because who wants to eat cold food? That is where this Stove shines.

Hammock

TJ Provost Leave a comment

Once the power goes out, a lot of people are going to realize how uncomfortable it is to sleep with no air conditioners. It is hard to sleep when you are sweating through the sheets. My buddies cabin is amazing, but its relatively small and I much prefer to put up my Camping Hammock outside and enjoy whatever breeze there is. This Hammock also includes an integrated fly netting so you can sleep without getting eaten alive.

I keep one of these Hammocks with my Camping Gear and a bunch more at my bolt hole. If you are lucky enough to be a surprise guest at my cabin you might just get to see what the series of eye hooks along the back wall are for. I can easily set up four of these Hammocks in that space for indoor sleeping. Of course if my guests want to sleep outside they can just set up between two trees. These Hammocks give me a ton of flexibility in setting up sleeping arrangements.

The other beautiful thing about this Hammock is that once the Zombies start swarming you can put this up high between two trees so you don’t get woken up with your face being bitten off. This is especially useful if you are travelling alone, because its hard to stay alert 100% of the time.
