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.

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.

  • 7,650 total BTUs of cooking power.

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.

Camping Table Scoring

This Camping Table can have a Moderate Impact on your survival and scores a 258/1000.

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.

  • Go anywhere table for every task!
  • Telescoping aluminum legs adjust from 17.7″ to 27.5″.
  • Extremely compact for easy storage and transportation/
  • Assembly can be finished in one minute.
  • Perfect for camping, tailgating, and backyard use.

Peanut Butter Powder

TJ Provost Leave a comment

I love Peanut Butter. If I had to eat just one food for a year it would be Peanut Butter and this Peanut Butter Powder is the perfect way to make it happen. If I want to live like the wealthy I’ll even put it on a cracker. It is delicious, calorie dense, and unless you are allergic to peanuts, it is a must have for your pantry. For me it is a comfort food that goes with everything from fruits to bread and even noodles (ever had Pad Thai?). So you better believe I am stocked up on this Peanut Butter Powder.

When it comes to having your pantry ready for when the grocery stores are empty and the power is out, this Peanut Butter is just the thing. Add water and you have a snack. If you have literally anything else and you have a meal. Peanut Butter goes with every carbohydrate in existence and most fruits and vegetables as well.

Don’t go hungry! Keep a few jars of this Peanut Butter in your pantry for emergencies.

Peanut Butter Powder Scoring

This Peanut Butter can have a High Impact on your survival and scores a 517/1000.

  • 65 servings.
  • 3,900 calories.
  • All natural.
  • Just add water.
  • Up to a 5 Year Shelf Life!

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.

This Portable Camping Stove can have a Moderate Impact on your survival and scores a 257/1000.

  • Uses wood, charcoal or solid biomass fuel.

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.

Ferro Rod Fire Starter

TJ Provost 1 Comment

This Ferro Rod Fire Starter is a must have for your kit. Matches can be ruined in the rain or not stay lit long enough to start a fire in the wind. Fire is primal and its honestly just about as important as water to long term survival. Without fire you can’t cook, boil water to make it safe, or warm yourself after a day out in the cold. Thankfully this Ferro Rod Fire Starter is a safe and easy way to make sure you always have the tools needed to start a Fire regardless of the weather.

My personal experience is that this Ferro Rod is all around better than matches and lighters. When you get a good spark off the Rod it is super hot. This Rod can create a spark that is 3,000 °F to 6,000 °F. Compare that with a match flame which is 600 °F to 800 °F. You see how having this Ferro Rod in wet and windy weather is better than matches.

When it comes to durability, you’d have to have 15,000 matches to be able to start the same number of fires as this Ferro Rod. If you want something that is water poof and can last a long time you can’t go wrong with this Ferro Rod.

Ferro Rod Fire Starter Scoring

This Ferro Rod Fire Starter can have a High Impact on your survival and scores a 513/1000. Fire gives you the ability to create light, cook, and boil water. Those are critical tasks when a disaster has take out the grid and the water purification plants.

  • Throws 5,500°F sparks to start fires in all conditions.
  • Magnesium blend will last for over 15,000 strikes!
  • Handcrafted cherry wood handle with a comfortable grip.
  • Flint + Striker weighs 2.3 oz.
  • Great for backpacking, hiking, and camping!

6 Gallon Water Containers

TJ Provost Leave a comment

Think of these 6 Gallon Water Containers as storing life. Because it is. Without water you are dead. These Containers are designed to hold water and are incredibly durable. I keep two of these Containers in my pantry for emergencies. Water mains break. Do you want to come home to find you have no water to drink or cook with? How about boil warnings? At least once a year we get boil notices because something went wrong at our water treatment facility.

Travelling cross country? Having at least one of these 6 Gallon Water Containers in your vehicle is a must. You can live for weeks without food, but go a few days without Water and you are dead. Don’t make that mistake, have at least one of these 6 Gallon Water Containers in you vehicle, and rotate the water in it every few weeks to keep it fresh.

6 Gallon Water Containers Scoring

Items like this High-Capacity Water Filter System and LifeStraw with Gravity Bag score highly on my impact scale. Higher than these Containers, but that doesn’t mean these Containers aren’t important. It is just that as tools to store water, they don’t rank as highly as gear that makes water safe to drink. Still important, but not nearly as important as the filtering systems.

These can still have a moderate impact on your survival though and score a 214/100.

Be prepared, don’t suffer through dehydration and thirst because you didn’t plan ahead.

  • Rugged, heavy wall, non-insulated construction
  • Spout conveniently stores inside container when not in use
  • Molded-in top and side handles for pouring and carrying in either direction
  • Pull-up vent provides smooth water flow
  • A great water transport and storage solution for camping or during power-outages
