2021 SURVIVAL DAY 26 (Portable Charger Power Bank)

Leave a comment

I love this Portable Charger Power Bank. It is small enough to easily fit in a pocket, or my EDC Pouch. That means I have a recharge for my phone or radio when the sh*t hits the fan I can still get news, and if I’m lucky I can call my loved ones for emergency changes to the rally point or direct them away from dangers I’ve already encountered.

In the modern world, this Portable Power Bank could mean the difference between life and death, and most other times it is a huge convenience factor. Keep it charged, be ready for whatever happens next.

  • Ultra Small.
  • Smallest and lightest 10,000mAh portable charger.
  • High-Speed Charging.
  • Optimized Dual USB Ports.

2021 SURVIVAL DAY 25 (Clozex Emergency Laceration Closures)

Leave a comment

I love these Clozex Emergency Laceration Closures for a lot of reasons. The first is that I used one to close a wound on one of my kids that would have otherwise required stitches. It also saved me a trip to the ER – but we did see a doctor when we got back home, because of course he got hurt while we were on vacation in Mexico. I’m sure their docs are awesome, but I my med kit with me and this saved us a huge hassle and quite honestly kept us from having to sit on my son while someone put stitches in him.

You never know when your going to need medical supplies, so I usually keep my med gear duplicated. One attached to my Tactical Vest, and another in my vehicle.

Be Prepared. Survive.

  • 3 Clozex Closures: 3/4″ (20mm), 1 1/8″ (30mm), 1 1/2″ (40mm).
  • Clozex Closures are a non-invasive, painless, alternative to stitches for the treatment of small cuts and lacerations.
  • Be prepared when accidents happen – anywhere.
  • Adhesive based, topical skin closure that does NOT puncture the skin.
  • Developed for medical professionals for use in surgery, emergency room and urgent care centers.
  • When an ER is not accessible, Clozex is a great alternative that offers immediate and durable wound closure at a fraction of the cost.

2021 SURVIVAL DAY 24 (Tactical Backup Knife)

Leave a comment

This Tactical Backup Knife is the backup to my backup and fits perfectly on my upper chest so I can grab it, draw down, and have a blade in my hand. Sure, its small, but that is why its a backup. If I pull this Tactical Knife its my last resort, and if things are that bad, a little bit of cold steel in my hand is exactly what I’ll need to give me that little bit of edge (yes, that’s a high quality dad joke).

Be prepared, always have multiple layers of backups.

  • Small Tactical Knife with Sheath.
  • 4.8 inches in total length.
  • 1.4 oz. light.
  • Built to last.

2021 SURVIVAL DAY 23 (S.O.S. Emergency Food Ration)

Leave a comment

I’m just outside several major cities, but when the sh*t hits the fan I’m planning on heading as deep into the woods as I can, and my guess is I’ll be walking a big chunk of the way as the roads are going to be death traps, full of stranded motorists who’ve been bitten and turned. Marching on an empty stomach is now fun so I keep one of these S.O.S. Emergency Food Rations in one of my EDC Pouches.

2021 SURVIVAL DAY 21 (Emergency Blanket)

Leave a comment

I don’t care if its winter, spring, fall or even summer, I keep an Emergency Blanket on my Tactical Vest. I’ve been stuck in cold rain showers in the heat of summer that have left me shivering with blue lips and without an Emergency Blanket I would have suffered and have a severely reduced ability to move once the rain stopped. Any other season, and this Emergency Blanket becomes a true must have survival item. In cold weather, having this Emergency Blanket can mean the difference between freezing to death and surviving another day.

2021 SURVIVAL DAY 20 (Potable Aqua Germicidal Water Purification Tablets)

Leave a comment

I first used Potable Aqua Germicidal Water Purification Tablets like these 30 years go. Yes, I feel old. When I was younger I did a lot of hiking on the Appalachian Trail and it wasn’t possible to carry a weekends worth, much less a week’s worth of water, and that mean refilling canteens from streams and the like. I’ve seen what happens to people who don’t use Purification Tablets while camping, and when overseas. A buddy thought I was being paranoid when I would use these Purification Tablets on bottled water in India. Water we were buying from roadside stands and vendors while exploring the country. driving to Mysore and other locations within a days drive of Bangalore (now Bengaluru). Guess who caused us to have to stop so he could squat every half hour on the drive back? Not me.

I keep a bottle of these Purification Tablets in my Medical Pouch because you never know how long its going to take you to get from primary residence to bolt hole – or what utilities will or won’t be working.

Plan for the worst. It’s really hard to fight Zombies if your clenching your cheeks together.

  • Makes questionable water bacteriologically suitable to drink within 35 minutes
  • Effective against Giardia lamblia when used as directed
  • Water purification for camping, hiking, travel and natural disasters

2021 SURVIVAL DAY 19 (Pocket Window Punch)

Leave a comment

I have three of these Pocket Window Punches, One of them is clipped to my Tactical Vest and I know that if I need to scavenge it is a must have tool to quickly and relatively quietly get into abandoned vehicles and locked up homes. Sure, I may need to kill a few surprise zombies inside either, but getting in quietly means I’m less likely to find a horde after I’ve scrounged whatever I can from inside.

I keep another Window Punch in my vehicle for emergency use. I haven’t had to save a kid or a dog inside a hot car yet, but if it happens, I’m ready. I keep yet another Window Punch in my tool bag and I have used that one to finish breaking a window that was being replaced. It was safer to break the rest of the glass than try and remove the window the way it was.

Be ready, be prepared, and if you survive the Zombie Apocalypse maybe we can have a drink after we bump into each other on the road.

  • Reliably break vehicle glass.
  • Reliably break home and commercial windows.
  • Must have for every emergency kit & medical kit,

2021 SURVIVAL DAY 18 (New-Skin Liquid Bandage Spray)

Leave a comment

I always keep a bottle or two of New-Skin Liquid Bandage Spray in my Gonex MOLLE Medical Pouch. It is perfect for small cuts and wounds. I’ve used New-Skin Liquid Bandage on everything from blisters on my hands from cutting wood while camping to closing small cuts and scrapes from hiking.

When I’m out and about in the wild, or fleeing after strapping on my Tactical Vest, I always keep a bottle New-Skin Liquid Bandage to take care of those little injuries so they don’t get infected.

  • Antiseptic treatment & waterproof bandage for scrapes, minor cuts
  • Seals out germs & forms a tough, protective barrier
  • Helps prevent blisters & calluses
  • Fast drying & waterproof
  • Helps prevent infection in minor cuts & scrapes
  • Dries clear, is waterproof, & stays put
  • Great for protecting blisters & calluses

2021 SURVIVAL DAY 17 (Jet Windproof Torch Lighter)

Leave a comment

I usually keep my Jet Windproof Torch Lighter with my medical gear on my Tactical Vest. It’s not that I use it for any first aid purpose, its just that when I do need it, I’m figuring I will be hunkered down for warmth or to make some food before getting on the move again. So it goes with other gear I’m not usually going to be whipping out in the heat of a fight for survival.

Is it a critical tool? You bet it is. You ever been freezing cold as it’s drizzling around you and your toes are numb? Then you will understand why this Windproof Torch Lighter is a critical piece of gear.

  • Lighter packs with same picture are the same.
  • Both lighter without gas
  • Single Power Jet Flame More Powerful,Cool and Stylish.
  • Flame Regulator Rotate the bottom to adjust the size of the flame. Simple and Easy to operate
  • Visible Fuel Tank Let you know when to refill and when is full.
