Christmas gift ideas for preppers

[Zoidberg]

I thought it would be a good idea to come up with a few prepper related gift ideas for things we can give to our non-preppers friends and family for Christmas. For example a Swiss army knife would make an ideal gift for someone who is not a prepper. Maybe even a wind up a solar powered radio and torch.

Let me know if you have any good prepper related gift ideas ideas.

My partner has a collection of Ryobi power tools. So this year I have bought her spare large capacity Ryobi battery, a Ryobi 18V ONE+ inverter and a Ryobi solar panel. Spare batteries always come in handy and the inverter has multiple different uses of its own.

- It can be plugged into the mains and used as an extra battery charging station.
- It can be used as an off grid 230V mains power source for running and charging devices.
- It can be used as an off grid USB power source for running and charging devices.
- It has a built in light and can be used as a torch or lamp.
- It can be connected to the matching Ryobi rollup solar panel and used to (slowly) charge up Ryobi power tool batteries off grid.

I thought it might come in handy and being keen on DIY she loves this kind of thing even though she is not a prepper. As we already use Ryobi tools and have bought into their ecosystem I automatically went their inverter but I expect the other quality brands like Makita, De Walt, Black & decker and Milwaukee all have their own equivalents available too.

I would say a oil lantern or blankets. People can display them as decorations. But when the lights are out and heatings off it's usable too.
