COVID-19 is affecting families worldwide. During these challenging times, we all need love, understanding, and a little bit of hope.
Hope is the first step towards resilience. If we diligently practice physical distancing, the spread can be stopped and eventually, things will go back to normal.

In this article, we are going to share some amazing gift ideas for your survivalist friends.
Gifting something to a prepper is a tricky and complicated affair. They always like gifts that are practical.
Check out our carefully curated gift collection that is sure to lift the spirits and adrenaline rush of your mates.
Emergency Food Rations
What do people do in panic situations like the one we are currently in? They hoard food items.
They lose their cool and empty the shelves way before the news hits the whole town, city or state. Of course, they want to feed themselves and their family. But is hoarding a solution?
Since such unexpected and unfortunate events lead to food shortage; it’s essential to stock packaged goods with you. And that’s exactly what you can gift the preppers.
Non-perishable items that they can use for emergencies is a great option. I am sure you will vouch for it too.
Mini Water Filters
Bottled water might not be available in emergencies. And the shortage of contaminated drinking water can be really problematic.
That said, mini water filters make a great gifting option. These filters ensure preppers have safe drinking water in the wild.
Mini filters can help them purify water available in their vicinity. That’s not even the best part.
They are inexpensive, compact, and easy to use!
Fire Starter
Matches can ditch you at the moment you need them the most. Yeah, that’s true of lighters as well.
So what can be done?
When nothing works in your favor; trust the old, traditional methods.
Get a flint and steel fire starter because:
- It lasts many years
- It is fast
- It is small
- It is impossible to damage
Your prepper friend will love the gift!
Outdoor Multi-Tool
It’s a sensible gift. Ain’t it?
Why carry the complete tool kit when a multi-tool can do the same work for you?
A multi-tool lets you sand, saw and cut different materials. It is compact, reliable, easy to use and carry, and is a must-have for survivalists.
Compass
A military-grade compass is a life-saving item.
Internet and technology may leave you fending for yourself on a stranded island or in an isolated location, but a compass will be by your side wherever you may go.
Your buddy will love to keep this classic piece in his bug-out kit.
Solar Charger
A portable solar charger is the best gift you can give your friend.
Everyone loves it. Be it a hunter, camper, hiker or traveler. But that’s not why you should get it.
Get it because:
- It is waterproof
- It is about the size of a book
- It is light-weight
- It has a USB charging cable
- It can charge electronic devices like mobile phones, ipads, laptops, etc
Waterproof Sleeping Bag And Blanket
Get an emergency waterproof sleeping bag and blanket for your buddy, and wait for the happy look on their face.
But, be careful. Don’t choose the one that is impossible to store. Rather, look out for those tiny, compact ones that can easily fit in a hiking backpack.
Perfect for emergencies, sleeping bags and blankets come in different price ranges.
Final Thoughts
Survival boots, tactical pants, tactical gear are all valuable to preppers.
That said, all the gift options mentioned above are sure to bring a smile on your buddy’s face.
