Chainmail Shirt

This Chainmail Shirt is an an amazing show piece as well as fully functional armor. I love gear that serves multiple purposes. This Chainmail Shirt is an awesome show piece that spurs conversation every time a new person sees it. Tell them you are into larping, tell them its a family heirloom and your grandfather wore it into battle. Tell them whatever you can get away with it because it means that when the biting starts, you can put on this Chainmail Full Sleeve Shirt and go full berserker mode against the Zombies between you and your bolt hole.

As a general survival item it is also fully functional armor. That means that when bullets get scarce and things revert to hand to hand combat, you will be protected. It is obviously not as effective as plate mail, but plate is way heavier and more restrictive. Plate is also harder to hide. One of the things I like about this Chainmail Shirt is that I can put it on over my clothes and then hide it under a coat or parka.

If you aren’t fighting the undead and a scavenger tries to gut you I guarantee they are going to be shocked when their blade doesn’t bring you down. That moment of surprise is all you will need to defend yourself.

Chainmail Shirt Scoring

This Chainmail Shirt can have a Moderate Impact on your survival and scores a 246/1000.

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.

Folding Pocket Knife

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.

Camp Shovel

This Camp Shovel is an awesome tool. It is perfect for everything from working in the garden to strapping to your pack to head out into the boonies. Honestly, I keep one in all my vehicle as well. If anyone asks, I tell them its there to dig me out of sand and snow. That is true, but I’ve also used my Camp Shovel to dig cat holes so I could use the bathroom on the road and on the trail. This Camp Shovel is a utility tool that is a must have.

The other reason I like this Camp Shovel is that it is one piece and it is very well built. You can use this Shovel to dig and chop and it can take a serious amount of abuse and still be good to go after your arms are tired from swinging it. It is also a very serious self defense weapon. It has decent reach, is well built, and can be used as a blunt force or edged weapon depending on how you are holding it. If it is a fight for your life you can use it like an axe. If you just want to send a message you can hit them broadside and let the bruises help your enemies remember why messing with you is a bad idea.

The real reason I have this Cold Steel Camp Shovel in my vehicle? To beat in Zombie skulls if the biting starts while I’m out and about in my vehicle.

Camp Shovel Scoring

This Shovel can have a High Impact on your survival and scores a 510/1000. While this Folding Shovel is awesome if you have to pack it in very limited space this Camp Shovel is one piece and is much easier to use as a self defense weapon, giving it a clear advantage.

Brass Cane

This Brass Cane is perfect for me. It is sturdy, looks amazing. I need a Cane on and off due to back pain and a leg injury. This Cane let’s me get the support I need while also looking sophisticated. I have few different Canes because of my bad back, but examples like this Bat Masterson Replica Brass Handle Unisex Derby Cane is a perfect show piece that won’t raise questions no matter where you have it. Put it in an umbrella holder by the door, and no one thinks twice about the nice wooden cudgel topped with a heavy bit of brass.

Whether you need a Cane or not, it is easy to justify using one. All you have to say is you hurt your ankle or have been having some dizziness. The other nice part is that there are very few places that you can’t go with it. That means from a self defense perspective this Cane is more likely to be with you when you need it. Taking away someone’s Cane is just cruel – and most people just wont do it.

All those factors make this Brass Handle Unisex Derby Cane the perfect bit of Hidden Survival Gear.

Brass Cane Scoring

This Brass Cane can have an Extreme Impact on your survival and scores 911/1000. It is easy to take anywhere and everywhere. and it has reach. It can do real damage if you need to use it for self defense. All those things make it an excellent Self Defense weapon.

  • Made from Brass & Genuine Beechwood.

Concealment End Table

This Concealment End Table is the perfect way to keep self defense weapons close by but safely hidden. Yes, I am a bit of a survival nut. I like to have a layered plan that gives me a ton of redundancy. That means that I have furniture like this Concealment End Table close at hand so I can discretely keep whatever I need to survive where I’m most likely to be when the world blows up.

Best of all, if you have a cabin or bolt hole and it does get robbed, they are going to look for things like a gun safe, but if you keep your gear hidden, they are less likely to find it. I am also a very sneaky son of a beech. I cut a small square in the rug under one my end tables. If you do come in to rob me I have to open the floor safe so you can get some cash. Which puts me directly in front of this End Table and whatever surprises I have stored in it.

Don’t be caught off guard, make sure you have a plan to survive no matter what happens. Make a primary plan and then a backup. Once you have that, make a backup to your backup to your backup. If things go horribly wrong your pre planning is the only thing that will keep you alive.

Concealment End Table Scoring

This End Table can have a moderate impact on your survival and scores a 237/1000.

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.

  • Concealed drop down-then-out compartment.

Stainless Steel Chain

This Stainless Steel Chain is chunky and heavy. That is awesome because if you need to pull it off your neck to defend yourself it packs a hit. Because it is a piece of jewelry there is even a chance it will not be noticed if you get taken captive. If that happens your odds of escaping go way up if you have a weapon and they don’t realize it.

Of course, not everyone can pull off this Stainless Steel Chain. That does limit its overall utility as an everyday carry item. But, if you can get away with it, you have a self defense weapon on you at all times. If you are older or just can’t fit this into your wardrobe you can always give it to someone else in your life. If you are around them a lot you can still have access to the Chain in an emergency. Just don’t tell your giftee’s why they are getting this heavy duty chain until after you have to use it to save their lives.

Stainless Steel Chain Scoring

This Stainless Steel Chain can have a low impact on your survival. It’s scoring is dragged down by its ability to blend in. Not everyone can pull this off without drawing unwanted attention, which is why this Chain scores a 20/1000.

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.

  • Stainless steel for a lifetime of use.
  • Pendant Size: 1.6 Inch * 1.4 Inch
  • Chain Size : 24 Inch

Money Clip Knife

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.

One Handed Axe

This One Handed Axe is the perfect size and weight for portability. I can carry it cross country and it gives me a ton of extra capabilities. I can use it to cut branches to build a shelter or even fell trees if I really need to. The hickory handle feels just right in my hand. It is also a beautifully made tool. The 1055 Carbon Steel is strong, durable, and holds a wicked sharp edge. Swing this Axe hard and you will find the hickory handle flexes enough to absorb impacts while still being incredibly tough.

This One Handed Axe is both a survival tool, and self defense weapon. It is perfect for the trail and can be hidden in your vehicle by pairing it with some other tree trimming gear. When it comes to a disaster this Axe gives me lots of options. I can break windows to get into or out of vehicles. I can even cut through many doors or hammer their locks to oblivion.

In the worst case this Axe is also an amazing self defense weapon. Not many men, woman, or wild animals are going to take a hit and continue to want to fight.

One Handed Axe Scoring

This One Handed Axe can have a high impact on your survival and scores a 675/1000. It gains points for boing a one handed tool but loses a few for not having the best reach in the world. It also loses a few for being a bit harder to hide in plain site, and not quite having the utility of a full sized Axe like this Survival Axe.

  • 1055 Carbon Steel provides durability and edge retention.
  • Tackles many useful cutting tasks.
  • Tennessee hickory is a dense material that withstands hard use.
  • Designed by Elmer Roush in Brasstown, North Carolina.
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Self Defense Siren

These Self Defense Sirens are a utility tool as far as I’m concerned. I have one for my wife’s keychain. If she gets in trouble she is pulling this and then her Pepper Spray. When it comes to non lethal self defense for people who don’t have other hand to hand combat skills, you can’t beat this combo.

These Sirens help you fight violence and unwanted attention, because when this goes off the people bothering you are going to run. If they don’t, that means you are in a very isolated location – and that you should fight for your life and don’t hold back. Still, these Sirens can still distract your attacker giving you an opening to run or attack. If you are in a populated area this Siren is going to draw attention your way which is a good thing. 

The other reason I love these Sirens is their alarm capabilities. Easily create a alarm anywhere you need one. Put a cord on any gear you want to keep and if your bike, bag, or anything else is moved it is going to pull the alarm. This has saved my bag on the beach on two different occasions. I bury a cup of sand with a cord on it and attach it to my backpack. If anyone tries the casual snatch and walk away they are in for a surprise.

If we are lucky enough to face a Zombie Apocalypse, these are perfect Zombie aggregators. Pull the pin, throw your Self Defense Siren and watch as the biters swarm the noise. It is a great way to pull the Zombies away so you can escape, or shoot into a more tightly packed group of targets.

Self Defense Siren Scoring

These Sirens can have a moderate impact on your survival and score a 233/1000.

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.

Your ability to use these Self Defense Sirens is really only limited by your imagination.

  • Easy to carry anywhere you go.
  • Self defense siren is the fastest way to get help and attention.
  • Easy to use by everyone from kids to seniors.
  • Can be easily heard up to 1000ft away.
  • Military-Grade Durability.
  • Waterproof.
  • Provides 365-day Battery Life.
