21 gifts preppers and survivalists actually want this holiday season

We're not sure how well this will filter out toxic waste sludge, but Sawyer's filter and purifier will take care of just about anything short of it.

It's been proven that YETI's coolers can stand up to bears, and while we're pretty sure they can probably handle zombies, too, the company isn't able to comment.

If there’s one thing hipsters have right (for the apocalypse, at least), it’s copious collections of Ball Jars, and, for good or ill, they may well outlive us all should things take a serious turn for the worse. Pro tip: buy brown glass, which preserves contents better and longer.

It may be difficult to cop a charge for these things, but you'll probably want at least 12 of these bad boys. Writing as someone who likes to get lost in the dark, BioLite is far and away the best around these days, for comfort and battery life.
