Survivalist Wishlist – Holiday Edition

When you’re into preparedness, one of the best things about the holiday season is that most people know exactly what to get you: anything related to survival! Over the years I’ve been lucky enough to get some pretty useful survival gear and tools to choose from. Here are some of my favorites to help you start your wish list or get some gift ideas for the Survivalist in your life.

Trex Adjustable Ice Traction Device

As snow chains are to tires, Trex’s Ice Traction Device’s are to boots. Depending on where you live, these may not be appropriate for everyone but for those of us who fight back the snow every season, these traction devices are an absolute necessity.

Streamlight 61052 Septor LED Headlamp with Strap

head lamp

I never thought I would appreciate having one of these headlamps as much as I do. I’ve always been a traditional flashlight and lantern kind of guy but now that I have head one of these I don’t think I could do without it. When you need to have both hands free, which I often do when we’re out camping this thing really comes in handy. I chose the model with the extra strap over the top of the head because the ones with one strap around the head tend to lose elasticity and start to slip after a while.
