The Covert Prepper's Ten Christmas Presents

1 Dec 2012

Well Preppers and friends, there is only 20 days left until the end of the world, and if you haven’t been prepping, then the following items should be tucked into YOUR stocking to be ready for a disaster. I want these items in mine (some are there already! )

Just in case the Mayans were wrong, which they may be, the following items would be great to have in a post-collapse society, because let’s be honest:

We are all one storm away from being like New York residents who have been shafted by the Government. They were promised heat and light, and the only heat they feel is the anger of seeing the light that Government can’t help you.

If FEMA can’t help a small area, how can it help America as a whole when something REALLY big hits?

So, we ignore the Government and take care of ourselves. When they catch up to us, then perhaps they’ve learned a thing or two.

I’ve included a link to find some of the items in case you can’t find them in Wal-Mart. Good luck!

Note pads and pens

Paper to take notes, plan on your next action, and to figure things out intelligently instead of acting on the moment.
Thermal underwear

Because it’s FREAKING cold here in Frostbite Falls. HORRIBLE cold means you need to keep your body warm. Thermal underwear is truely a gift from above. And so is Guinness Beer.

Duct Tape

Like this needs an explanation!

Time Management

I use the Franklin-Covey method of Time Management. If you’re new to Time Management – then start with this book. You will accomplish SO MUCH MORE knowing how to plan and execute those plans.
 

BlueLine battery cases 5 D cell cases for AA batteries

Quickly replace D cells in your emergency radio or flashlights with the less expensive AA batteries. These cases work like a champ. Also look for the C cell replacement cases. These work best with rechargeable batteries like below.

8-Pack AA 2200mAh NiMH Rechargerable Battery by Hobbypartz

This is some of the most economical rechargeable batteries. The 2200mAH actually gives it more energy than a regular D cell, which is about 1700 mAH. With a good solar recharger, you could go a couple of years with these.
 

AAA to AA battery Cases:

Because sometimes you don’t have AA batteries, the AAA cases can step in and solve your problem. Look for high capacity batteries if you are going with the rechargeable.

Nebo Redline Tactical Flashlight Strobe S.O.S 220 Lumen #5581

220 Lumens means it will blind you. It has a tactical strobe that will disorientate the bad guy before you shoot them. One option that is hard wired (you no-clicky) is SOS. Set it to that and at night, in the woods when your lost, it will auto-flash for you.

Crystal Radio Kit

Because when the grid goes down, this won’t. You won’t hear the latest garbage music, but you may hear important information being played over the AM band by emergency services.

Also, in a power out – you have the latest information without looking for batteries. And hey, you can teach your kids so much about prepping with this one item alone.

Sawyer PointOne Emergency Water Filter

I use this, actually. Here is the reasons why:

• 0.1 Micron absolute hollow fiber membrane inline filter
• Removes 99.99999% bacteria and 99.9999% Protozoa/Cysts
• Housing material made from food grade ABS plastic is easily field maintainable
• Comes with manufacture’s 1 million gallon guarantee
• Highest Level of Filtration Available on the Market

Check these all out, and next week, I’ll tell you some more!
