100-Lumen Pen Light

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.

Rootbeer Can Diversion Safe

I like to keep spare cash and a few critical keys in my Rootbeer Can Diversion Safe. I keep it at the back of my garage fridge with a few other cans of soda and I’m 100% confident that when I need the money or the keys stored inside this Diversion Safe, it is going to be there.

The trick is to put just a little bit of syrup on the bottom so it sticks to the fridge and it is just a bit tacky, making it less desirable if someone does reach for it.

This Can Diversion Safe has so many uses. Put some spare cash and keys and throw it in your vehicle so you always have a backup of critical keys. Put this Can Diversion Safe on a shelf in your workshop hidden among other cans. If you need to hide something in plain sight, you can’t beat these Can Diversion Safes.

Rootbeer Can Diversion Safe Scoring

This Can Diversion Safe is the perfect way to keep keys and emergency cash hidden and safe. It can have a low impact on your survival and scores a 103/1000.

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.

  • Discrete and secure.
  • Hide your valuables in plain sight.

Secret Stash Planter

This Secret Stash Planter is the perfect tool to hide money, keys, and thumb drives in plain site. Trust me when I say that no one thinks twice if they see a few planters on your window sill. That makes this Planter the perfect place to hide smaller items you may need on short notice. I use hardware security keys to lock down my computers. I keep one of those hardware keys on my key chain but it could get damaged or maybe one of my kids has my vehicle. No worries, I keep a backup Yubikey nearby in my Stash Planter so I never get locked out.

I also love these Secret Stash Planters for outdoors. We have a lot of potted plants along the back of our property along our shed and one of those just happens to be a Stash Planter. It has keys to my house, my vehicles, four wheeler, and snow machines. If I need to make a run for it in a major disaster or the Zombie Apocalypse, I can get on the road quickly even if my house is burnt down or full of the undead.

I bought one of these Stash Planter for one of my older sons as well. He constantly locks himself out or locks his keys in his car. When he calls me in a panic I don’t have to drive an hour to use my set of keys to save him. I just have to remind him to go grab the spare set we hid on his property.

Secret Stash Planter Scoring

This Secret Stash Planter can have a low impact on your survival and scores a 102/1000.

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.

  • Ceramic planter with hidden compartment.
  • Inconspicuous and discrete.
  • Perfect for inside and outside use.
  • Great for outdoor key safe
  • A beautiful hidden storage box.
  • Great place to stash your keys, money and other important items.

Fixed Blade Knife

I have a bunch of these Smith & Wesson Fixed Blade Knives and I love how they feel in my hand. They are the perfect size to slip in my boot, tuck down the back of my pants, or strap on my MOLLE Vest. That means they are highly likely to be in my hand when I need them. Just make sure that wherever you put them is legal in your location.

My buddy always complains about my Fixed Blade Knives. He can clip his folding knife to his belt and because its not concealed it is 100% legal in his state. While it is better than nothing, I prefer a Fixed Blade if I have a choice. Folding knives are great, but when it comes to making a spear for survival I don’t trust that hinge point. The second it takes to open the blade also worries me. Sure I have to draw my Fixed Blade Knife but the moment the tip clears the sheath I am ready for action.

I also find that from a quality perspective it is hard to get a folding knife at this price point. That is important because I like to stash these Fixed Blade Knives in various locations. With a bit of glue or a magnet I can stash these just about anywhere. And yes, I am always careful to keep them out of locations where kids could find them.

Fixed Blade Knife Scoring

These Fixed Blade Knives can have a moderate impact on your survival and score a 251/1000. They get points for being easy to stash but loose points because they are close in weapons.

This is my favorite Fixed Blade Knife at under $20 bucks. At this price it is a steal.

  • 9 inches (22.9 centimeter) overall length.
  • 4.7 inches (12.1 centimeter) blade length.
  • Just 7.7 ounces
  • Made of r7Cr17MoV high carbon stainless steel.
  • Black rubber wrapped handle.
  • Comes with convenient belt or boot sheath.
  • Ideal for everyday carry.

Cold Steel Defense Baseball Bat

This Cold Steel Defense Baseball Bat Brooklyn Crusher is everything you want in a Survival Self Defense Weapon! It can be used for its intended purpose to hit baseballs, or its real purpose of crushing Zombie Skulls once the biting starts. Best of all, you can throw this in your vehicle with a glove and baseball, and no one is going to think twice about why its there.

Why do I always comment on what people will say? I get told all the time I worry too much about survival and contingency planning, and quite frankly, I’m sick of it. So I try to hide my obsession with surviving to make it more palatable to those around me. Which makes this Cold Steel Defense Baseball Bat Brooklyn Crusher a perfect addition to my gear.

I put one in a display case and put a fake signature on it. I tell everyone Pete Rose is my favorite and he signed it for me. That means I can keep one in my office at work and everyone just thinks it is a display piece. I have another in a bucket of baseballs in my garage – because the you never know when someone will want to hit a few. And I always have one with a glove in my vehicle.

No matter where I am when things go bad, I will have one of these Baseball Bats close at hand. Survival favors the prepared.

Cold Steel Defense Baseball Bat Scoring

This Baseball Bat can have an extreme impact on your survival and scores a 909/1000. It gets those high marks because it is easy to conceal and have close at hand no matter where you are. It also gets points for being nearly indestructible and being easy to use. Give anyone a Baseball Bat and they know how to swing it.

  • Nearly indestructible baseball bat.
  • Made of durable polypropylene.
  • Will never break, rot, crack, splinter, or fade.
  • 29-inch length and two-pound, one-ounce weight.

Condor Golok Machete

I love this Condor Golok Machete.  It feels just right in my hand and the a burl on the hilt adds the right perfect amount of counterweight. That burl also keeps the blade from slipping out of my grip when my hands are sweaty or wet. This Machete is also the perfect length to strap on my pack without being too conspicuous. With the right pack and setup no one else even needs to know I have it one me. That can be extremely helpful when I’m hiking cross country. I like to have a multi purpose tool like this Machete close at hand while not advertising that fact.

The size also means I can more easily store it in a vehicle. Throw some garden gear in with it and no one is going to question why I have it in my vehicle. It is also the right length for more confined spaces. A Two Handed Machete is awesome for more open spaces hands down. This Golok Machete wins when it comes to indoor use though. A longer weapon is just going to get bound up.

The other thing I really like about this Condor Golok Machete is that this is just so well made. It’s almost a piece of art.

Condor Golok Machete Scoring

This Condor Golok Machete can have an extreme impact on your survival. It scores 908/1000, beating out the Two Handed Machete by one point because it is easier to conceal.

When it comes to survival this Machete can do everything from cut branches for your fire to butchering game. It is also a deadly and efficient self defense weapon.

  • Blade Length: 14″.
  • Walnut handle.
  • 100% leather sheath included.
  • 1075 high carbon steel blade with black powder epoxy finish.
  • Overall Length: 19″.

Pepper Gel Spray

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.

Hickory Stick Tire Thumper

I love my Hickory Stick Tire Thumper. If you drive a large truck this is a must have. Driving with flat or underinflated tire can cause an accident. It has a nice weight in my hand and is incredibly durable. That’s good as its job is to basically hit stuff.

The good news is that this Tire Thumper really excels at its primary task. It hits things and if I hit something with it that isn’t a tire, its taking serious damage. Of course I just have them to check my tires, but its good to have a backup if bad things happen.

A disaster or the Zombie Apocalypse could start at any time. If I’m on the road when that happens, having this Tire Thumper gives me the ability to defend myself. Because it is a legit tool, no one blinks if they see one in my garage, vehicles, or shed. Which makes them easy to camouflage and hide them in plain sight.

If anyone does see it and comments, I just tell them its true purpose. I have it to check my tires. Of course the reason these Hickory Stick Tire Thumpers is survival. When it comes to keeping self defense weapons close at hand, this is a key piece of gear. I spend a lot of time in my vehicle, so having this Tire Thumper nearby makes me feel more confident I can handle things if I need to.

Hickory Stick Tire Thumper Scoring

This Tire Thumper scores a 509/1000 and can have a high impact on your survival. The fact that it is easy to store easily in your vehicle earns it points. It is an excellent piece of hidden survival gear. The flip side is that it does not have a huge amount of reach, which does cost it some points and keeps it from being higher on the survival scale.

  • 17.75″ length and 1.25″ diameter Hickory and metal tire thumper.
  • Self defense stick and fish whacker.
  • Made from exceptionally high quality and resilient stained hickory.
  • Perfectly weighted and balanced.
  • Comfortable, secure grip.

Heavy-Duty Pipe Wrench Scoring

This Pipe Wrench can have a high impact your survival and scores a 507/1000. It gains points for being so easily hidden in plane sight as well as for its durability.

If you have to carry it continuously you better have some good upper body strength.

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.

  • 24 inch heavy duty pipe wrench.
