I’m often asked by my consulting clients about my specific gear recommendations. I’ve noticed that I repeat mentioning a lot of these, so to save time in my subsequent consulting calls, I’m posting the following list (in no particular order):
- Gamma Seal Bucket Lids
. We use these constantly with our bulk storage wheat. rice and beans.
- K & M Industries waterproof match cases. The best, made by a Mom & Pop business
- Gerber Omnivore LED Flashlights. These can use AAA, AA, or CR-123 batteries. Sadly, they’re made in Mainland China.
- Maxpedition gear bags. Incredibly tough and well-made.
- Dakota Alert infrared intrusion detection alarms. We leave ours on 24/7/36, here at the ranch.
- Leatherman Wave Multi-Tools.
These need no introduction.
- Wiggy’s sleeping bags. I’ve used their FTRSS bags for 20 years.
- Buttstock-mounted ammo/utility pouches. Get one for each long gun.
- Anderson Power Pole D.C. Connectors
. These sure beat those enormous cigarette lighter plugs that pop apart unexpectedly
- Save The Rain Downspout Diverters. These pay for themselves just saving water for gardening, and may prove crucial someday!
- Columbia River Knife And Tool (CRKT) Tanto Pocketknives. My everyday carry knife. Buy several, because they will get “borrowed” and never come back.
- Berkey water filters. After 15 years of family camping trips, ours now has a few dings and scratches, but it is still going strong.
- Break-Free CLP
. We use it on all of our guns.
- AN/PVS-14 night vision scopes. They cost more, but they’re the best.
- Parachute cord. 1001 uses!
