Why not get something that might be actually useful if you’re shopping for gifts for a survivalist who is interested in preparation or survival? Something that won’t wind up in a landfill in a couple of years or months.

gifts for a survivalist

Filter, water
Most people would believe that the water filter would be a thoughtful present. It’s a piece of junk, to be honest. It’s one of those cool, clever technologies that isn’t practical. Give a Sawyer Mini in its place. It is significantly more useful and can be used with a hydration bladder. It’s perfect for campers of all kinds and makes a terrific addition to a bug-out bag. Only the Sawyer filter will be used more than twice, but they weigh approximately the same and cost around the same.

Survival blades
It is portable, reasonably priced, and incredibly useful. For hikers, fishermen, and hunters, it’s fantastic. If your loved one is not only interested in large knives, they will value this gift.

Ferro rods are the strongest fire starters available. They are fantastic for learning more difficult fire-starting techniques.

AA Batteries with USB Recharging
These lithium-ion USB rechargeable batteries are fantastic; they have a longer lifespan than other battery types. Additionally, they may be directly plugged into any USB charger; they don’t require a specific charger. great for GPS, lamps, etc. Anyone who utilizes AA batteries will adore these, though it’s more of a prepper gift.

Headlamp
The most common lights are flashlights, although headlamps are much more useful in most situations. To keep things simple, it typically requires just one AA battery, is waterproof, and has a dim light setting.

Axe
This 15.7-inch Schrade axe is far superior in its shortened form. The length of this axe makes it more functional, and I appreciate that it has a Ferro rod that can be inserted inside the handle.

Multi-tool
The Leatherman Sidekick is reasonably priced and beautifully made. Leatherman multi-tools are superior to Swiss Army knives.

Initial Care Kit
Even while you would not believe a first aid kit would make a fantastic present, it’s a wonderful way to make your loved one better prepared. The quality of the Adventure Medical kits is excellent.

Energy Source
In addition to being stylish, this Outdoor Tech battery pack is also useful. It functions as a flash light or lamp and is waterproof. Excellent for prolonged camping excursions or emergencies.
