‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all thro’ the house/ Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;/The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,/…
… but mom forgot to stuff them and now they’re bare.”
If you’re anything like me, you probably spent countless hours organizing your Christmas lists, reading product reviews, and way too much time decorating the packages so they look just right for Christmas Day only to realize – at the last minute – that you forgot the stocking stuffers.
Every parent can relate to this … right? Please don’t let me be the only one!
Now that it’s crunch time, if you are still looking for some stocking stuffers, look no further than these prepper-inspired gifts for your favorite loved ones.

You can attach the fire starter to the keychain and carry them together as a pack or let the paracord hang with your keys or on your bag. The paracord itself is useful in all outdoor situations thanks to its enormous durability.

TIME FOR MY COLLECTION OF CHRISTMAS POEMS! 😛
Twas the night before christmas and all through the whitehouse
Evil bills were being passed by every zionist louse
Knowing that on the day no one would be there
They screwed over the people without any care
And when they were finished they brought out the small boys
And passed them around, their satanic toys
Then to what did their beady black eyes did appear
The US Militia all decked out in gear
With full auto fire they blasted away
Killed all the scumbags and saved the day
Then down to wall street to take out the trash
Burned them alive the worshipers of cash
Then on to the banks they marched in a line
Killed all the bastards then all was fine
The new found freedom it had a great feel
Who the hell said Santa Clause isn’t real! 🙂
Twas the night before christmas and all through the house
the smell of mash cookin drew out a mouse
it came and it sniffed the smell of good stuff
it chewed through the lid it was pretty tough
it dove in and swam in all the good grain
as he gulped down the goodness it went straight to his brain
his courage it became more than 10 fold
he thought cause Im small I still can be bold
he crawled out of the big plastic pail
his voice got real deep as he let out a wail
“come try to get me you stupid old cat”
“your geetin old and slow and so fat”
the cat heard the mouse and sneaked his ass near
then cornered the mouse with eyes full of fear
the cat said “you did what I never could do”
“get into the goods my hats off to you”
the mouse said “thank goodness your welcome my friend”
“we’ll drink till its dry until the end”
they both got their paws on a couple of straws
I guess as friends go they’re aren’t no laws
the rest of their lives were spent gettin drunk
the cat and the mouse now who woulda thunk?

Genius,
I read your post’s a couple of weeks back, and decided to pull the trigger on the Baofeng.
I’m charging the batteries now. 🙂
Will be getting some of the other goodies you pointed out.
To learn this skill, is my goal for 2019.
Will be taking the tech. test sometime after I’m comfortable with the radio. (already talked to the locals)
Also, I found a supply of salvage 18650 batteries, so I got me a charger and some new torches to play with.
Keep plugging away with the ideas. There are some of us who read and react. 😉
Y’all play nice, and I hope y’all remember, that “HE” is the reason for the season.
hillbilly, that’s great! My best friend was a ham and it was so cool the things he did. I don’t have a license I just use them for comms at the cabin (far away from town.) They have made the tech class a lot easier to get now with no morse code. I like the baofengs because they are affordable and have a ton of accessories. You can get a simplex repeater that plugs right into them and with the sma antenna jack you can use any antenna. I have outfitted pretty much everyone in the mountain valley with them. LOL I even got the fire chief one so he could tell us to respond! That has worked out so well it’s incredible. If we are out on the 4 wheelers we have comms alerting us of a fire! I’m glad to hear you looked into some of the security stuff too. I have spent YEARS trying to find what really worked well. Merry Christmas!
How about a King James Bible, Greek, Hebrew, Commentary, Dictionary, Cross Reference or an ap that does all of that and is likely free? Oh,I get it. You aren’t celebrating the nativity of Jesus Christ.
most of America just celebrates christmas
while
few celebrate CHRIST-mas
THE PERFECT GIFT! Save yourself/loved ones 100’s of thousands of dollars and save the earth at the same time! Protect the planet for the next 500 years! Spare the mass death of thousands of species that share this earth! Spare humanities health by lowering pollution too! Give out gift certificates for vasectomies and hystorectomy’s! No child support, No waste of finite precious resources, Much more currency to do what you really want, Cut down the death of the earth, Stop the madness of humanity and it’s suicidal greed, Let other species live, Put an end to the need for nuclear power, Put an end to resource wars, Give this place a little longer lifespan, If not then put your kids through the hell that awaits and make sure YOU blame YOURSELF! Because HELL is coming in spades if you don’t!
Take your own advice.
Of course there is silence…. because you know it is TRUE!
Just keep on shopping at amazon and walmart cuz it’s the cheapest (just like your life is). Plow through your daze hoping you can make ends meet. Don’t bother to think why we are where we are. Just keep grinding away hoping for a better future that will never come. The TV tells you what to think and how you should be. Like the ads in a magazine, you want it all. You spit out kids that do the same thing…. Want to live the dream. Well I have some bad news for you… YOUR FUCKING DREAMING! WAKE UP AND GET WITH REALITY! YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF US ALL! IF YOUR GOING TO PROPAGATE THIS ULTIMATELY DESTRUCTIVE SPECIES THEN GOD DAMN PAY YOUR WAY! Oh your butthurt sorry. How mean of me to point out the truth……
Get the Douay translation, the first, best, and honest English translation.
I don’t celebrate any human. Especially one not bright enough to get away from people who wanted to nail him to a cross.
I don’t like store bought shit. Make me a railroad spike knife or a nice leather pouch or maybe a war club from a tree root. I like stuff like hand made stuff. Tactical spork really dumb.
I can only give you all some cheers and laughs.

Patriot Bob bought all the cool gear
From his couch he had little fear
He had camo this and camo that
He had XXXL because he’s so fat
He read all the fear porn and bought shit from the ads
The world will end soon good god and eeegads!
He had freeze dried water and freeze dried beer
For any day now the end would be here
With a pallet of chips and onion dip too
He was pretty sure he could make it through
His nails were chewed right down to the bone
What’s that I hear, I think it’s a drone
His pants were filled with a big mighty mess
He wondered how they got his address
A big heart attack took out the old slob
And so goes the story of patriot Bob…
