Christmas Gift for Preppers

My fevered brain | December 8, 2012 | kosmickitty

I'm looking for some suggestions from all my FR friends out there.

For too many years now, I give my best friend a practical Christmas gift. One year, many years ago, it was a pair of jumper cables when I found out she didn't have any.

Anyway, she and her husband are into prepping big time and I would like to give them something that they could use if the SHTF. I''d buy ammo, but my friend's husband is so paranoid that I have no idea what ind of guns they have.

They already have tons of food supplies, but I was hoping someone could suggest a practical gadget that no prepper should be without.

Any suggestions are most welcome.

These people re not beginners. They have a ton of stuff stashed at multiple locations already including heirloom seeds.

Whatever you get, think about wrapping it in an ammo can.

The can has a thousand different uses, including its original purpose.

Yes, they are great. Mine was quite handy when typhoon, Bopha took out the power.
I was a bit embarrassed when I bought my first D cell size LED flashlight in the outdoor market. I kept looking around the table and asked where they had batteries for it ;)

By the way, Bopha has made a U-turn and now heading for Luzon.
