The Christmas Prepper

It's Christmas and you still have only half of your list done, What is a good prepper to do?
I know. I know. We should have prepared, DUH.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I seem to be hard wired to remember my list on the 23rd.

The recent snow started this ball rolling for me. Last February a neighbor was snowed in so I took over some of my Freeze dried food.  That small gift got them thinking about how practical it is to prepare.

So here is a short list if you are stuck for a Christmas gift for your favorite prepper, Or maybe someone that's still on the fence.
While I'm on the subject; why stop at Christmas? I made it a new years resolution to send prepper items for every occasion for the new year.

Here is a sampling of the of items that might just jog your thinking.
