Best of all, no one thinks twice if they see it in your garage or vehicle. If it comes down to hand to hand combat this

8-Pound Sledge Hammer Scoring

This Sledge can have a moderate impact on your survival. It scores a 231/1000. It is a great tool, and if you have the muscles, an intimidating weapon for hand to hand. The downside is that it is heavy, so if you plan on using it against the hordes, make sure you keep your upper body strength up.

Hi-Lift Jack

If your vehicle is compatible with this Hi-Lift Jack, it is a must have. I’ve seen them used to do everything from changing tires to lifting one end of a lodged vehicle from a crevice to free it from a jam. Regardless of what kind of vehicle you have, you want to have a good Jack on hand. What good is having a vehicle if you blow a tire a half mile down the road and the Zombie horde catches up to you?

Be prepared, and make sure you have a Jack and a full size spare in your vehicles.

I don’t have to worry about trying to position my vehicle close enough to theirs to run cables or worry if someone is parked right up against them. Nope, just pop the hood and we are good to go.

Tow Strap

Having a high quality Tow Strap is a must for your vehicle. When it comes to the Zombie Apocalypse or any disaster, the roads are going to be a mess. It just takes a single vehicle in the road to create a chain reaction that will cause massive traffic jams. The only way to fix that is to tow those vehicles out of the way with your Strap, especially if you are working to clear the roads around your bolt hole.

Want to do the opposite of clear the roads? A tow strap is going to help you there as well. Put a few cars in neutral, tow them to where you want to create a roadblock, and then pop the tires. This is a great strategy if you want to make sure you control the access routes. It will be harder for scavengers to come racing in if you control the roads.

Of course, this Strap can also be used for a lot of everyday uses. Need to pull a vehicle out of a ditch? This Strap has got you covered.

Tow Strap Scoring

This Tow Strap has a moderate impact on your survival and scores a 228/1000.

Electric Winch

This Electric Winch is a must have for every trail vehicle. If you are going off road this Winch gives you a much needed safety net. Want to ruin your weekend? Slide off the trail and get up to your axles in the muck. Thankfully this Winch means you can get back on the road quickly. Don’t let the mud ruin your weekend.

When disaster strikes being self reliant will be key. Getting stuck when you can call for help is an inconvenience.

This Winch will give you the ability to pull them out of the way.

Need to get into a building and speed is more important than being quiet? This Winch will pull doors right off their hinges.

This Winch gets the job done. The job itself relies pretty much on your imagination. As part of a survival kit for you vehicle, this gives you a ton of flexibility to move vehicles, open doors (yes, open doors – just watch out when they cut loose).

Snatch Block

This Snatch Block makes easy work of heavy loads. Why struggle when you can easily cut your work load in half or more depending on how many Blocks you have. This Snatch Block lets you move loads safely, a must have for off the grid survival. Keep a few Snatch Blocks in your vehicle and be ready for anything.

These are essentially next generation pulleys. The Block let’s the line loop back on itself. A simple explanation is that you have to pull twice as much line two feet to move your object one foot. The benefit is that the weight of the object is divided by the number of lines. At least if friction didn’t exist. Thankfully the benefits with friction are still huge. Just use line that is rated to over the max weight of whatever load you are putting on it.

The trail up to our families cabin is gravel and mud. It is always a roll of the dice if the way will be blocked after a storm. There are lots of trees and I like to let them grow over the road to make it harder to spot using drones. Thankfully these Snatch Blocks mean I can cut the trees into fairly big pieces and drag them out of the way. Without them I’d have to do a lot more cutting.

Snatch Block Scoring

If you need to move anything heavy or winch your vehicle out of a snag, these Snatch Blocks are must have. They have have a moderate impact on your survival and score 221/1000.

Don’t let the number fool you. Being on the list of top thousand survival gear items means it is still a must have. Just being on the list makes this critical gear.

  • MAX load:10 Ton (22,000 LBS).
  • Suitable for most off-road recovery situations
  • Works with 7/32 – 3/8” steel cable or synthetic rope.
  • Double your winch pulling power.

Ratchet Strap Kit

I always keep a set of these Ratchet Strap Kits in my vehicle. Over the years I’ve donated Ratchet Straps to other drivers on multiple occasions, because I figure I might be saving a life. Who knows, it just might have been a member of my family they were passing when they lost their load. Carrying an unsecured load, even if it is just a 2×6, could still be a deadly missile at highway speeds.

Do you sleep in your vehicle? These Ratchet Straps are a great cheap way to secure your doors. Loop the Straps through the door handles and tighten them enough to keep the doors closed. Cheap, easy, and quick. If someone is going to break your window to get in, at least that gives you a moment to react.

Post disaster, these Ratchet Straps are going to give me the ability to secure more gear and move it. Combined with being able to grab more gear using my Folding Hand Truck and I’m going to have a huge advantage over other survivors scrambling to get as much gear as possible.

Ratchet Straps Kit Scoring

These Ratchet Straps can have a moderate impact on your survival and score a 220/1000.

Don’t let the number fool you. Being on the top thousand survival gear items means it is still a must have. Just being on the list makes this critical gear.

  • Durable and dependable.
  • 500 Lbs Per Ratchet with Incredible 1,500-Lb Break Strength.
  • Secure All Kinds of Odd-Shaped Stuff.
  • Easy-Grip Ratcheting Mechanism.
