Best prepper pressie

[KrisWard]

Something like this would be a nice gift.

Brilliant, I love this. Well done everyone for all their gift. I received money this year, so have a couple hundred quid to put towards my preps.

Well then....
This year I got from the mrs and my boys:

Cast iron 4.5l Dutch oven
Baofeng UV-5R amateur radio (now to get the licence)
Car antenna with mag mount for the UV- 5R
Break out mic for the UV- 5R
Couple of 30mm ammo boxs
New fish filleting knife

And an outdoor rock climbing course (always good to learn new skills).

Pretty damn pleased!

Martin Crawford is based in Devon, so a similar climate to mine.

The last was off my wish list. I added it after seeing a suggestion from a website about drinking free water from natural springs. I figure that if I don't need to treat water why waste resources doing so.

I still have some more presents to come, but they're waiting for second Christmas which will be after my sister's baby is born (due mid-jan but babies in our family are always early).

I know i'm a bit late, but been "home" for the new years after working in the Christmas days, so i haven't been online to post.

The only gift worth categorizing as prepper-ish is this:

My best prepping pressie was a pair of Jack Pyke Hunting Boots - so comfy and warm and waterproof - just excellent!!

[munchh]

i have reached kit saturation, so i didnt really need much, so thought id try some of the things ive had in my watch list but couldnt bring myself to buy.
i picked up the carrabiners and belay device at a booty, but needed some rope and a harness, so got my wife to get me 30m and i went for the rigger belt instead as im not going to be doing any serious climing, im just playing really.

The laskey puck just means i just need that in my bag instead of all the other sharpening tools.

The Yugo mess kit because my daughter insisted on buying me something, so as they are now down to £7.50 on ebay and ive not tried one, there it is.

The campfire cookbook, just for fun.

The leatherman wave, it was the only thing i reall wanted, its about time i had a proper multi tool.

And the smallest packdown fishing rod (thats not some pen gimmick and takes a normal reel), its carbon, 6' when made up and the pieces are only 13" when broken down. And now under £13!

Now if i can just convience Mrs munchh that the titanium ecodrive commando watch in the cashconvertors window is definately worth the £150 ive badgerd the manager down to, thats my birthday sewn up

That 7 piece fishing rod is a good bit of gear. I bought one a few years ago. I bought a small reel to match it with 6 lb mono. Being the lure fishing fanatic that I am, I keep it in a cantilever box with a folding landing net ,traces and lures in the car. I have hgad pike to 11lb and chub to 4 on it.

Nice to know it works, ive been looking at these for a while, i have a float tube it will go in, and it will all go in my bait bag, i found a "poachers" centerpin reel on ebay last night so snapped it up, but i have some small rear drag reels i will try too. Its crazy its shorter when packed down than the flask i take with me
