While we usually warn our readers to stay away from malls and to be extra prepared this time of year, it is a great time to score some deals to either restock your supplies or introduce your friends and family to the world of preparedness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While everyone else is spending billions of dollars on useless crap; why not use your money to help prepare yourself and your family? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparedness Gifts: Giving the Gift of Preparedness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We all have those stubborn friends or family who instantly tune out the moment we start talking about preparedness related issues. Over the years, we’ve found that a great way to break through to these type of hard-headed people is to give them the gift of preparedness! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of our top finds over the last year that can introduce your loved ones to the topic, and hopefully put them on the path to ensuring their survival should the shit hit the fan!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gerber Center-Drive Multi-Tool <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Gerber<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A multitool is a great way to shrewdly introduce your friends\nand family to the world of preparedness. It\u2019s an awesome gift will not only\nhelp prepare them, but it will do so in a way that doesn\u2019t seem like you are\nshowing it down their throat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our newest find that we just started carrying this\nyear is the Gerber Center-Drive Multi-Tool. The kit comes with a 16 piece multi\ntool, one bit set, and a U.S. made sheath. What we really like about this specific\nmulti-tool, was the full-size knife and the center axis driver that makes the\ntool feel more like a screwdriver than other multi-tools on the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find the Gerber Center-Drive on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The First Alert Two-Story Fire Escape Ladder<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"First<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now this is a piece of gear that almost anybody will understand the need for, and in my opinion, is an essential piece of emergency preparedness gear for anyone who lives in a 2-story home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The First Alert Two-Story Fire Escape Ladder is 14 feet long escape ladder that collapses down to about 14×14 inches, making it easy to store under a bed or in an easy access closet on your second floor. During a home fire<\/a> where you become trapped on the second floor, it can be deployed out your window in seconds allowing you to make a quick and safe escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
