Gerber Bear Grylls Fire Starter
If the name sounds familiar, that’s probably because you’ve seen Bear Grylls on TV before. The reality TV host for a number of survival-themed shows, Grylls lent his name to this Gerber product because he believed in it. Based on his shows, he knows his stuff.
The Gerber Bear Grylls Fire Starter is a compact survival tool that’s more than just a fire starter. Aside from the ferrocerium rod and metal striker, which are the two things you need to start a fire, you also get an emergency whistle at the tip of the lanyard. Attach the lanyard to your bag or keep the fire starter in your pocket; it doesn’t matter where you put it as long as you can easily access it when you need it. Length:

Water Filter
Satisfy her thirst with her very own water filter. Whenever your wife or partner goes on an outdoor adventure, she should always bring enough water. She should take a water bottle or a hydration pack with her if she’s going jogging or hiking.

Wool Blanket
How smooth are you with your lady? If you’re game has been inexistent for a while now, it’s time to kick things up a notch. Get her a nice wool blanket to give her a reason to cuddle up in bed or on the couch.
The Ektos 66 x 90 inch 80% Wool Blanket is 80% wool while the remaining 20% is made of synthetic materials. That combination allows you to stay warm even when wet. This Ektos wool blanket weighs 3.7 pounds.
The Stansport 1243 60 x 80-Inch Gray Wool Blanket is 55% wool and 45% polyester but is still good enough to take to camping and other outdoor adventures. The polyester makes the Stansport a lot softer than other wool blankets though it’s a bit on the heavy side at 4 pounds.

Non-Lethal Weapons
Is there anything sexier than a woman who can protect herself? I mean, yeah, it’s great if you can always be there to keep your lady safe but she should be able to handle herself when she has to.
If someone tries to harass or even attack her and you’re not around, you can at least be at ease thinking she has something to defend herself with.
Some guys find it hot to see their significant other brandishing a firearm but not everyone is into guns. The same can be said with knives though everyone should have a pocket knife in their everyday carry kit. For those who rather not carry a gun or a knife, they can opt for non-lethal weapons for self-defense.
ViperTek VTS-989 58 Billion Heavy Duty Rechargeable Stun Gun
The ViperTek VTS-989 58 Billion Heavy Duty Rechargeable Stun Gun is not lethal but definitely packs a punch. The powerful stun gun sports sharp spike electrodes that stick through thick clothing. It also has a built-in LED Flashlight and shock plates along the side to keep the assailant from grabbing the stun gun from you.
As you can imagine, your lady needs to get close to the assailant before she can use the stun gun on the person. Ideally, you’d want her to be as far away as possible from such threats. Lucky for you there are survival gift ideas that cater to that specific need.
Mace Brand Self Defense Pepper Spray Gun 2.0
The Mace Brand Self Defense Pepper Spray Gun 2.0 is not an actual gun but it’s definitely something you can shoot from a distance. The pepper spray gun contains 7 bursts with each one able to reach up to 20 feet.
The Mace Pepper Gun uses a strong formula that they are known for, to make sure any attacker is stopped in his tracks. The formula can cause impaired vision, intense burning sensation, coughing and respiratory distress. A UV dye has been integrated into the formula so the assailant can easily be identified in case he or she manages to escape. The non-lethal weapon also has a built-in LED strobe light to help distract the attacker.
Valentine’s Day is just one of 365 (or 366) days each year that you can show your love to the person you value the most. Still, it would make it pretty special if you get her something nice.
