So, you don't know what gift to get your favorite just about prepared spouse, relative or friend? Here are favorite picks of PEP-C board and executive members. PEP-C does not financially benefit from these items, water barrels excepted.
BARRY: had so many ideas he couldn't help from suggesting several!
- Leatherman tool. Gerber and SOG also make good multi-tools.
- Check out this SOG knife "I like silver as black is easier to lose."
- Rescue Tape
- Emergency axe for your car.
- Lifestraw
- Paracord, a crowd favorite! Find some different types here.
- And a good fixed blade knife. This one is available on Amazon.

ABBY:
A solar power bank. Alternate: solar-powered Flashlight. Even better; a solar powered power bank that is also a flashlight! Amazon has a solar power bank flashlight available here |

RAY:
Assemble a kit for your vehicle or to-go under bed. Several suggestions already made fit into that concept (see 3x5 card at bottom of page right side for what to put in kit). Or, how about a fire extinguisher that has not expired? Good around the holidays, good any time!

PEGGY:
Start a kit that you can add to every year. For example year one - a car kit. Year two - a solar radio. The following year - first aid supplies. These may not be a favorite gift on the surface but in the event of an emergency these gifts could become the favorite.
