9 Awesome Prepper Gifts For Your Survivalist Friends

1. Water Filtration System

Water filters are some of the most recommended items for survivalists out there. These are small and mostly personal devices that you can easily carry around in your survival kit.

Water filtration systems sterilize the water that you might find from any natural water supply. They filter the water, keep it clean, and make sure that it is safe to drink. That way, its user never has to worry about getting bacteria or some kind of disease when they drink from natural water sources.

There are a lot of different types of water filtration systems, and a lot of different brands that manufacture them. Each, however, has its own purpose. Look for one that best suits the needs of the person you’ll give the item as a gift to. In general, try to look for one that can attach to any bottle for flexibility of use.

2. Firestarter Rods

From the name itself, firestarter rods are outdoor items that – you guessed it – help you start a fire. With one rod made of ferrocerium and the other made of a metal striker, firestarter rods create sparks when struck together. The sparks from these rods are enough to set a pile or ball of tinder on fire.

These great prepper gifts often come with a container that is compact, making it easy to carry around. Its container also keeps the rods away from water. Look for one that also has space for holding dry tinder, which would come in handy especially if you are in somewhat wetter environments.

3. Emergency Food Rations

What makes emergency food rations such great prepper gifts? Well, for one thing, if you’re unable to wrap them in time for the recipient’s birthday, you can always just give it to them the following year, or even the year after that.

Most emergency food rations have a shelf-life of about 5 years. They also often pack about 3,600 calories in one compact pack. Often, each bar in the pack contains somewhere between 400-450 calories, and each pack contains about 9-10 bars inside.

Look for emergency food rations that don’t make the consumer feel thirsty (which might happen since the rations are often dehydrated). Make sure that the taste is also great. Some emergency food rations have flavors such as cookie or cinnamon.

4. Car Emergency Kit

A personal car emergency kit is one of the best prepper gifts a survivalist can receive. These are designed specifically to address any need you might have and equip you with all the essentials you might require in pretty much any disaster that might happen.

At the very least, a personal car emergency kit should contain a safety vest, a first aid kit, jumper cables, tools, rope, flashlights, screwdrivers, and many more. Its contents should be packed in a clear and waterproof pouch that is small enough to fit in your car’s backseat.

In a nutshell, these personal car emergency kits should be capable of being left in your car, seated there until such time that you need it to get out in a hurry.

5. Solar Hand Crank Radio and Phone Charger

First and foremost, you don’t need electricity to be able to use it, making it handy in case of a blackout. You’ll also be able to hear any important alerts that might come up in your area should a disaster happen.

Some of the more modern ones are also equipped with a solar charging system and a phone charger. Try to look for one of these as your survivalist friend will definitely love this gift.

They work in a variety of ways such as maintaining the body’s warmth, acting as shade, and even functioning as a signaling device for those who get lost in the wild.

7. Compressed Toilet Paper Tablets

First, aside from the conventional use of toilet paper, these compact tablets also have a lot of other uses such as starting a fire or covering wounds. Their small size also makes them perfect for any standard survival kit.
