Valentine’s Day is still a few weeks away but it’s never too early to think about what to get the man in your life. In fact, this is the right time to start browsing for prepper gift ideas and placing your orders once you’ve chose the perfect one for your hubby, boyfriend, or pops. The ones listed below, however, are not just for the men in your life. These prepper gift ideas are also great for your partners and close friends, regardless of the gender on their birth certificate.
Portable Solar Charger
Show your man how much you appreciate having him to talk to by getting him his own solar panel. This way, he will never have to make up an excuse that he’s phone ran out of juice or something.
In any case, the portable solar charger from Suaoki will be particularly useful when you’re out on an outdoor adventure, a long drive, or trying to get to your family after a natural disaster. It’s capable of charging two devices at the same time and comes with a 10-in-1 connector so that you can charge almost all kinds of laptops available. The portable Suaoki solar charger comes with a retail price of $120.
Moldable Glue
Any dude will readily say that Duct tape is the cure-all when it comes to damages to homes, cars and space stations. If the doomed Apollo 13 still came home with the help of duct tape and cardboard, then there’s no denying that fact.
However, there is one product that’s gaining its own share of fans, particularly in the DIY community. The Sugru Mouldable Glue is yet to reach cult status but it does wonders when it comes to repairs.
Once the moldable glue is applied, it turns into durable and flexible silicone rubber. The waterproof glue is also shock resistant, electrically insulated, and resistant to heat and cold. It costs $20 for 8 single use packs. The moldable glue is effective, affordable and makes your man’s life a lot easier.
Food Dehydrator
No man will be a jerk if he can make his own meat jerky. Actually, I’m not sure if that’s correct but it sounds funny, right? Anyway, give the man in your life the gift of having delicious dried food anytime he wants some.
The Snackmaster Pro from Nesco is capable of dehydrating 5 to 12 trays worth of food at one go. It features an adjustable thermostat and a top mounted fan. The food dehydrator also boasts of the Opaque Vita-Save exterior and Converga-Flow drying system, both unique to Nesco. It normally sells for $89 but is currently available for only $57.
Bacon Salt Seasoning
Did you notice the word “bacon?” That’s enough reason why you should get your meat-loving lover this special seasoning salt from J&D. The Bacon Salt seasoning is the brainchild of a couple of dudes named Justin and Dave. The dynamic duo professed their love for bacon to each other and eventually came up with three bacon Salt flavors – Original, Hickory and Peppered.
You can make your guy’s dream come true by making everything he eats taste like bacon. And if the apocalypse suddenly decided to ruin everyone’s day, at least you’ll have this bacon-flavored seasoning to make rat meat taste delicioso. Get the J&D’s Bacon Salt Sampler for only a shade under $28.
Spork
Any man who knows better knows Jim Morrison and The Doors are one of the music gods who blessed the world with their presence. And if you know better, you know that prepper gifts should be capable of doing a multitude of tasks. The Light My Fire Titanium Spork is one such thing.
This good-looking version of the much-maligned spork is made of 100% titanium (obviously) resistant to heat, and pretty lightweight. The non-corrosive and non-magnetic spork has a serrated edge on the side of the fork, which you can use for slicing meat.
Wearable Sleeping Bag
After your man partakes of your wonderful bacon-flavored rat burger using his titanium spork, he can wiggle inside his very own wearable sleeping bag and doze off like a baby. With his Selk’bag Lite Sleepwear System, he probably won’t be sleeping soundly if there are zombies all around. However, he’ll feel comfortable and warm on a normal night out in the woods.
The Selk’bag Lite Sleepwear System comes in four sizes so it doesn’t matter if he’s as thin as Popeye or as muscular as Brutus or as potbellied as Wimpy. The wearable sleeping bag is pretty easy to get in and out of thanks to the no-hassle hand openings and zip-off booties.
If your man is a little on the serious side, perhaps this Chewbacca Selk’bag will put a smile on his clean-shaven face. If he still doesn’t find this funny, just tell him he’ll at least be safe when camping in the woods because Big Foot will think he’s one of them. A Selk’bag sells for $60 to $100 on Amazon.
Gas Neutralizers
Every serious prepper knows the importance of staying inconspicuous. You should always be the gray man and never attract attention to yourself or else you’ll become the target of unscrupulous fellas. But how many times did you ever feel like letting it rip when the situation calls for a little silence and subtlety.
With the Subtle Butt Disposable Gas Neutralizers, you don’t have to worry about blowing your cover because of your stink bombs. The activated charcoal pads filter your farts and keep the stench from wreaking havoc. It’s the perfect way for people with gas issues to stay safely hidden when bad people are trying to steal your supplies and gear. At the very least, it’s one of the best Valentine’s Day prepper gifts around. The Subtle Butt retails for around $12.
Gun Safe
If your guy is a gun aficionado, gun safe as prepper gifts are definitely one of the good ideas. Make sure he keeps his piece safely tucked away from curious children.
The Vaultek Smart Safe is a great way to stash your firearm and other valuables as it can be easily accessed thanks to its smart safe technology, which include a bio-metric fingerprint scanner and a rapid fire back-lit keypad.
