Well, some geniuses at the Bureau of Labor Statistics calculated how much all the 12 Days of Christmas gifts would cost today and they came up with a whopping $41,205.58. That true love should be worth every penny. If you haven’t figured out what to give your true love, here are 12 Christmas presents preppers would definitely appreciate.

 

 

12 Canned Goods

Let’s start this list with one of the most basic things every living person needs to survive – food. The purpose of prepping is to survive and continue to thrive after a disaster and similar horrific situations. Food might become scarce if stores, restaurants, and even farms are unable to operate.

There are two main ways to overcome this hurdle. One is to be self-sufficient by producing your own food. This is done by farming, raising animals, and other methods. The second one is to stock up on emergency food that should last for years.

Canned goods are popular among preppers because of their long shelf life. The canned chicken from Survival Cave Food, for example, lasts as long as 25 years. They offer a variety of ready-to-eat canned meat including chicken, pork, beef, and turkey. Each 28 oz can contain 2/3 white meat and 1/3 dark meat. The humanely processed meat in the hand-packed cans undergoes a slow cooking process to tenderize the meat.

For the 12th day of Christmas, give the gift of food security with a case of 12 canned goods from Survival Cave Food.

One common problem when people have to evacuate their homes is finding a place to stay while waiting for things to go back to normal. If you’re in an evacuation center, there’s not much privacy unless you set up your own tent. A tent becomes even more important if you don’t have any choice but to stay outdoors.

The Coleman WeatherMaster 10-Person Outdoor Tent is perhaps one of the better Christmas presents preppers will appreciate since it will provide them and their family shelter from the elements. The wide space (can fit 3 queen size air beds) helps make them feel more comfortable after experiencing such a stressful thing as evacuating your home. More importantly, everyone will stay dry and warm thanks to its patented WeatherTec system.

The huge cabin-like tent will also be useful when you go camping so that’s another good reason why it makes for a nice Christmas present.

8 Face Shields

When it gets cold, you need to keep your face warm. When you’re out and exposed to the heat of the sun, you also need to protect your face. And when you’re enjoying a ride on your bike, you need to cover your face to avoid inhaling dust and swallowing insects.

2-Way Radios

Communication is vital to survival. In the event of an emergency, you should be able to contact your family or close friends as well as the authorities and emergency medical services. You can do all these things with a smartphone but they won’t work if you don’t have power or connection.

Also, smartphones after an EMT attack are as useful as a chocolate teapot. Your only way to communicate in such instance, aside from using carrier pigeons, is through two-way radios such as a Citizens’ Band (CB), General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS), or ham radio.

The BaoFeng Tech BF-F8HP Ham Radio not only allows you to communicate with family and call for police or medical assistance, but it also helps you gather life-saving information from fellow radio users. It allows you to monitor two channels at the same time to get the most information possible. You can also listen to the FM radio to lighten up the mood for a bit.

Give your true love the gift of communication with a pair of two-way radios on the 2nd day of Christmas.

 

1 Portable Solar Generator Set

Electricity, or the lack thereof, is a major potential problem each time a disaster hits. It’d be difficult to function without power. You’ll have to move around in the dark, spend days and nights without the AC and heater, and you won’t be able to watch your favorite soap opera. When power is cut off, internet services will likely be down, as well. That means communication will be difficult.

GoSun’s Portable Powerplant featuring the SolarEnergy 1100 1100Wh Power Bank and 100W Solar Panel will at least provide you with enough power to charge your devices up to 1,200 watts. It has a built-in 450-lumen LED light to light up the place when the power goes out or if you’re spending the night outdoors.
