Preppers Wish List

Instead of the latest useless gadget this year, why not get some emergency preparedness gifts for your loved one? Here are a list of items that are guaranteed to be on your preppers wish list!

Stocking Stuffers:

• Paracord Bracelets
• Emergency Fire Starter
  Save
• Can opener
• Water Proof Matches
• Water bottle with purification tabs
• or a really awesome water bottle with filter
• survival whistle
• handwarmers
• emergency poncho
• tactical flashlight
• Walkie Talkies
• Emergency Radio
• MRE’s
• Survival Knife
• Glow Sticks

Instead of putting them in a traditional stocking, I think it would be cute (and more useful) if Santa had a Bug Out Bag hanging in its usual place with all of the above in it!

The most important prep we can have in my opinion is close relationships with friends, family, neighbors and loved ones. Take the opportunity this Christmas to reach out and connect with people. Maybe plan a spring camping trip, or offer to volunteer teaching skills you have, make a date to have some friends over to work on canning and food storage, or even set a date to go thrift store rummaging after the holidays. Remember: the greatest gift we can give is ourselves!

Happy Holidays!
