Titanium Hip Flask

TJ Provost Leave a comment

I bought my Valtcan Titanium Hip Flask as a present for myself as I was going to a wedding and I was afraid the open bar wouldn’t have any drinkable whiskey. Yes, my wife calls me a Whiskey Snob but I don’t care. This Titanium Flask is ultra lightweight, and because it is Titanium I know its non-reactive and won’t change the taste of whatever precious whiskey I put inside it. It won’t leach into whatever I put in it and it won’t pick up odors or flavors over time. I can wash it, rinse it, and every drop of that previous liquid I put into it is just as good as it gets.

If you have a Whiskey Lover in your life, they will be incredibly happy to open this Valtcan Titanium Hip Flask. It is a high quality, forever gift, that the owner can pass down to his kids. That is how well made this Flask is.

My buddies and I have a long standing tradition on the trail. The night before we start our hike home we have a toast and talk about old times. We’ve lost friends over the years. We toast to them and to enjoying the days ahead. My Hip Flask has carried everything from Jameson to Pappy and everything in between.

When it comes to a disaster, I just might need a sip from this Hip Flask more than normal.

Torch Lighter

TJ Provost Leave a comment

This Torch Lighter is perfect to do everything from light a cigar, to a cigarette, to a camp fire. Best of all, because it is small and stylish, you can take it anywhere. That makes it an excellent bit of Everyday Carry Gear. I use mine to light my pipe. It takes about a half second to get the bowl going with this Lighter. It is also a nice way to offer a light when someone requests one.

When it comes to Camping Gear I prefer a Ferro Rod. A Ferro Rod lasts way longer then the fuel in this Lighter. But this Lighter has a different use for me. There are times when setting a fire quickly is a matter of survival. If you need to set a signal fire, the speed and ease of this Lighter makes it worth burning the fuel.

Post disaster I can think of several scenarios where a Lighter is preferrable over a Ferro Rod. If I need to create a flaming vehicle barricade behind me to flee, I don’t want to screw around with a Ferro Rod. I just want to pull the activator, set the fire, and run.

Torch Lighter Scoring

This Torch Lighter can have a Low Impact on your survival and scores a 99/1000. This Lighter gets points for being easy to carry everyday and use. It loses points because it requires fuel to be refilled. That fuel is going to be fairly hard to get after the stores shut for good and roads become clogged with abandoned cars.

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.

  • Very portable.
  • Jet lighter is windproof.
  • Adjustable flame.
  • With max temp up to 2800°F, it can easily deal with outdoor wind.
  • 2.8g gas capacity.
  • Refillable lighter with sturdy turbo nozzle.

Folding Pocket Knife

TJ Provost Leave a comment

I love my Kershaw Clash Pocket Knife for a bunch of reasons. The first is that it is well made, and perfect for just about any everyday task. The second is that at this price. I can actually use my Knife and not have to baby it for fear of breaking it. Who wants to use a knife that costs a couple hundred bucks to gut an animal or try to open a can of soup while out hunting?

The funny thing is that while I use my Pocket Knife hard I’ve yet to do more than scratch it up or ding the blade. When I do ding the blade I just get my file out and its good to go after a few minutes. I feel like if I had a more expensive blade I’d be way more careful with it and not get as much out of the Knife.

Like so many things in life – make sure this Pocket Knife is legal to carry, and how its legal to carry in your location. I live on the border of three states. In one of them I can carry it concealed because of its length. In the other two I can wear it but it has to be clearly visible at all times so it doesn’t become concealed. Bottom line, make sure you follow your local laws.

Folding Pocket Knife Scoring

This Pocket Knife can have a Low Impact on your survival and scores a 193/1000. This Knife is more of a utility tool for me. When it comes to survival, that is important. It is just that when it comes to self defense it loses points for the fact you have to open it, and the fact it has very short reach.

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.

  • 3.1″ 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade.
  • Black-oxide finish for excellent toughness.
  • Textured Glass-filled nylon handle scales.
  • Closed Length-4.25 inch
  • Drop-point, partially serrated blade.

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.

Money Clip Knife

TJ Provost Leave a comment

I love my Money Clip Knife. It is one of those items I end up carrying everyday because I don’t go out without cash. When I first got it I thought I’d only ever user it in an emergency self defense situation but I found I ended up using it for lots of little tasks. I use it to open boxes and have also saved a dog with it. Years ago I was walking with my kids and we saw a dog who had tied to a fence. Only the dog had gotten himself so twisted up in the rope that he was now hanging and choking himself. Thankfully I had my Money Clip Knife and was able to cut him free.

Of course, make this Knife is legal where you live before you slip it in your pocket. If you are lucky enough to live in a state where you can use this to hold your money, you also get the benefit of having a small but useful knife in your hand – and most likely just when you are going to need it.

If your mugged, give them the cash, but if its clear that its a fight or die situation, the Fixed Blade Knife hidden in this Money Clip might just give you the edge you need.

Money Clip Knife Scoring

This Money Clip Knife is an excellent piece of hidden survival gear. Don’t let its score of 65/1000 worry you. While I’m ranking it as having a low impact on your survival because of its limited reach if you need this self defense weapon it can absolutely save your life.

  • Easily stored in your pocket and simple to deploy.
  • Holds up to five credit cards.
  • Discreet 1.75″ fine edge blade in the body of the money clip.
  • Rust proof materials.
  • Overall Length: 3.7″ | Weight: 2.9 oz.

Pepper Gel Spray

TJ Provost 1 Comment

This Pepper Gel Spray is a must have for every family member. I don’t care where you live. Good neighborhood or bad, doesn’t matter. Being prepared can save your life.

I have been Pepper sprayed twice. When it gets in your eyes and mouth, you are going down. The first time was an accident. A girl in high school hit the trigger and I ended up on the floor in blinding pain. A lot of saline wash later and I could see. I am confident that if you use this Pepper Spray your odds of surviving are going to go up.

What I like about this Gel Spray is that it doesn’t turn into a cloud around you. It is a little thicker and comes out in a stream. That reduces the risk it blows back at you, while also giving you greater range.

I buy cans of Pepper Spray for all my loved ones. I make sure they carry it. Every vehicle I own has a can in the glove box. I have another with my camping and hunting gear. There are lots of times I might want to send an unwanted animal running without killing it.

Pepper Gel Spray Scoring

This Pepper Gel Spray scores a 890/1000 and can have a high impact on your survival. It is easily portable, easy to conceal, and can back off one ore multiple assailants in a self defense situation. This Spray deserves a key place in your everyday carry gear.

As always, make sure its legal in your location before carrying it.

  • Trusted by police and consumers worldwide.
  • Guaranteed maximum heat and stopping power in every burst.
  • Pepper gel does not atomize so you can hit your target at greater range.
  • Deploys in a powerful stream with a 20% greater range (18 feet / 5.5 m).
  • 1.8 oz pepper gel with 18 bursts.
  • Easily clips to your belt.
  • Be prepared.

Geekey Multi-Tool

TJ Provost Leave a comment

I have this Geekey Multi-Tool on my car keys, and another on my spare keys. If I need to do anything from opening a beer to tightening a screw, I can take care of it without having to go find my tool bag. Of course I’m not going to be doing major repairs with this Geekey Multi-Tool but you will be surprised at just how many little jobs it can take care of in everyday life, and it fits neatly in your pocket, meaning you will have it with you when you need it.

Because this Geekey Multi-Tool is so useful I put another on a pull string and clipped it to my camp cooking gear. It seems odd, but I find that I commonly have to tweak or fix something when I start to set up for cooking. There is always something to fix.
