Food and Cooking Essentials
Food and cooking essentials are ideal for those in your life who love camping or cooking, or who want to up their survival game. While these food and cooking supplies are designed for emergencies, they can be used every day or for hiking and camping trips.

Water Filtration Tools
Water is essential for survival. However, it is not easy to always find water that is safe to drink – even in your own home. Many homes in America have unsafe drinking water, which puts thousands of families at risk every year.
Giving the gift of water filtration protects your loved ones from unsafe drinking water in their homes and on the go.

It has the capacity to hold 2¼ gallons of water with a filter capacity of 200 to 5,000 gallons (depending on the number of contaminants).
This means the family who receives this amazing gift will continually be able to enjoy clean, safe drinking water – during emergencies and every day.

Fire, Power, and Lighting
You can never have enough lighting gear. It’s always useful! Whether you experience a blackout, go camping, or need to find something during the night in your home, lights come in handy.
But that’s not all.
In addition to lighting, fire gear is also a must-have survival item.
Solar Flashlight & AM/FM/Weather Radio w/ Hand Crank
Everyone should own a weather radio, but the Ready Hour 4-in-1 Emergency Solar Flashlight & AM/FM/Weather Radio stands out.
This is because it includes more than you need and has three ways to source power (hand crank, solar, or via a USB port).
In addition to the flashlight, it also includes a pop-up room light with 4 LEDs.
More than just a lighting source, this tool is also a weather radio and a solar charger. You can charge cell phones, iPads, GPS, and more using it.
InstaFire Tactical Fire Starting Kit
Fires provide a great source of light, as well as heating and the ability to cook meals out in the open.
But it isn’t always easy to start a fire.
With the InstaFire Tactical Fire Starting Kit, your loved ones will be able to quickly start a fire in an emergency or just for outdoor adventures.
The kit includes an InstaFire Pocket Plasma Lighter, an InstaFire Ferro Rod, InstaFire Fire-Starter Granule Pouches (x2), and InstaFire Fire Ropes (x2). These are top-of-the-line fire-starting tools.
Plus, all these important items fit in a grab-and-go carrying pouch.
InstaFire CrossFire Plasma Lighter
Imagine a lighter that never fails – no wind or rain can stop it from providing a flame. That’s how the CrossFire Plasma Lighter works!
This is a USB-rechargeable lighter that produces a dual arc plasma charge rather than the traditional open flame of a lighter.
Once charged, it lights over 350,000 times, so you never have to worry about it running out of fuel or juice to run.
In addition, the lighter itself has an ice and glass breaker.
InstaFire Pocket Plasma Lighter with Flashlight
If your loved one prefers a pocket lighter to take everywhere he goes, give him the InstaFire Pocket Plasma Lighter.
This lighter operates similarly to the CrossFire Plasma Lighter by producing a dual arc plasma torch rather than a traditional open flame.
This amazing lighter lights on every strike – no matter if it is windy or raining. Just charge it and pocket it.
In addition, the pocket lighter also has a multi-mode flashlight.
Ready Hour Wireless Solar PowerBank Charger & LED Light
What’s better than knowing you’ll have light in a blackout? Knowing you will also be able to charge all your devices!
The Ready Hour Wireless Solar PowerBank Charger & LED Light functions as a 20 LED room light and a solar-powered charger.
The charger allows owners to charge up to three devices at once.
It’s a great option for more than just emergencies. Take it on hunting trips, store it in the RV, or bring it with you when you take the family camping.
