Prepper Christmas Gift Ideas Under $10
Safety Weatherproof Matches
Knowing how to start a fire with nothing but a couple of sticks, some stones, or a magnifying glass is one of the most important survival skills one could learn. But having ample supply of fire starters will make things a whole lot easier. And if you’re looking for Christmas gift ideas for preppers that are on the cheaper side, fire starters are it.
Waterproof matches such as the Safety Weatherproof Matches from Frog & CO takes up little space but are very useful. Plus, they work even in wet and windy weather. The twenty matches in the waterproof case can each light up for 15 seconds, which should be enough to start your fire.
Elements Magnesium Fire Starter Fire Rod
The weatherproof matches and the Elements Magnesium Fire Starter Fire Rod, also from Frog & CO, are relatively cheap. This means you can get both as Christmas presents for your prepper friend since the more survival gear you have, the better chance for you to be prepared for any disaster.
The magnesium fire starter is more reliable than matches and even lighters. Plus, it does more than start a fire. It’s a 3-in-1 tool as it also comes with a built-in 150-decibel emergency whistle and compass. The 4.75-inch long fire rod can last 15,000 strikes, which is way more than what other brands can offer.
Pocket Stove Folding Camping Stove
If you’re into prepping, you know the importance of bug out bags. When things go wrong at home and you have to evacuate, you’re first instinct should be to grab your BOB before scooting out of your home. These grab bags need to have all the necessary items you need to survive at least for a few days until you find a better situation.
A camping stove should be one of the survival items in your bags. You can always make bonfires and cook your food or boil your water over it but this process takes time and energy, which are important in survival situations. With a portable stove such as the Pocket Stove Folding Camping Stove, all you need is to set up the stove and light up the hex fuel tablets that come with each purchase.
The Pocket Stove is lightweight at only 3.8 ounces. The aircraft-grade aluminum camping stove measures 0.8 x 3.9 x 3 inches when folded so it takes up very little space in your pack. For every purchase of the Pocket Stove, you get six smoke-free fuel tablets along with a small pouch to keep your portable stove.
Each fuel tablet lasts for 9 minutes, which means you have 54 minutes of cooking time with the fuel tablets included in the set. To make sure you have enough fire burning, get one or more extra packs of Hexamine Fuel Tabs by Frog & CO.

Pocket Stove Hexamine Fuel Tablets
A pack of twelve fuel tablets weigh a total of only 2.4 ounces and takes up little space in your bug out bag. You can also hoard as many as you wish in your home for emergency purposes. During times when you don’t want to attar attention, say during a civil unrest when you must stay hidden, the smoke-free cooking will be important. The fuel tablets last for hundreds of years so they’re something preppers will truly appreciate.

LifeStraw Personal Water Filter
In any emergency situation, there are three main things you need in order to survive. If you’re lost in the woods or stranded on a deserted island, for example, you need to find food and shelter to keep you going until you’re rescued. Most important, perhaps, is to find a source of clean water to drink. As many of you probably know, human beings won’t last more than four days without water.
Ideally, you should always have some water with you whenever you go on an outdoor adventure. You should also have ample drinking water at home in case of drought or a contaminated water system like what’s happening in Flint, Michigan right now. Aside from these, you also need a way to turn filthy water into something safe to consume.
This is where water filtration systems come in. The LifeWater Personal Water Filter is perhaps the most popular in its field. During filtration, 99.9999% of bacteria and 99.99% of parasites are eliminated. It also gets rid of fine particles reducing the water’s turbidity and making it more visually appealing.
Imagine being stranded alone and you’re only source of water, aside from the occasional rain, is a muddy pond. With a personal water filter, you can at least increase your chances of not dying of dehydration for at least a year. LifeWater can provide you with up to 4,000 liters of clean water, which is what one person needs for a whole year.
The LifeWater Personal Water Filter is made of ABS plastic that’s pretty durable. It measures 8.8 inches and only weighs a couple of ounces so there’s really no reason why you shouldn’t carry it anywhere you go. It also looks good in cheerful Christmas wrapper.
