3 Reasons You’ll love Wish App For Survival Gear

Have you use the wish app for survival gear yet? Why not? I’ve mentioned it on the podcast a few times. It’s kinda like amazon for Chinese made goods.

Before you say anything about not buying chinses stuff I don’t even want to hear it. The stuff you can get locally is all Chinese made and cost more.

I would rather pay less and get the same thing.

When I first heard of the wish app I was not impressed. None of the things I was looking for at the time were on there. Of course, I was looking for Olympic weights. Not the cheapest things to send.

I mostly thought that it was for trinkets and jewelry. Being a manly man I cared not for these things.

When I actually decided to give it a try I found out how amazing the wish app is for survival gear. Since then I have made several purchases I’m happy with.

So what makes the Wish Ap for Great for Survival? Let’s dig into a few points.

How To Stay Warm In a Hammock. Quilts Vs Sleeping Bags

Quilts Vs Sleeping Bags

Want to know the secret to using a hammock in the winter? The answer leads to quilts vs sleeping bags. And that is not even a debate in my opinion.

This infographic comes from Eagles Nest Outfitters.

The problem with sleeping bags in a hammock is that the bag will compress under you. The points where the sleeping bag compresses under you will end up freezing.

Usually, it ends up being your butt and arms getting the coldest. Which is why many think a hammock as being a summer sleep system only.

To not get a cold butt in a hammock you have a few options. You can sleep with a sleeping mat or use quilts vs sleeping bags.

I have used all these methods for staying warm in a hammock. With a sleeping mat, you will mostly stay warm. As long as the mat doesn’t move around beneath you.

Sometimes the mat will slide around on you. This will leave any part without a mat under you freezing.

Underquilts

Underquilts are definitely the way to go. With a quilt system, you won’t have to worry about compression or a mat slipping out.

The issue with quilts is in the price. Doing a quick search on amazon I found this one for $43. Many of the top ones are over $100.

There are some DIY options for under quilts. Here is one using a poncho liner. In the past I have used a poncho liner with great results.

10 Best Survival Foods You Can Grow Infographic

10 Best Survival Foods You Can Grow Infographic

I found this infographic on Mom With A Prep created by The Prepper Project. With Thanksgiving coming up I really wanted to find a one more Thanksgiving related. This infographic had sweet potatoes so I went with it.

I am a picky eater being a big proponent of the paleo diet. So I often go against the grain (pun intended) with many survivalists.

I don’t store buckets of wheat. I want to store and grow food that will have me at optimal performance. Every edge you can give yourself during a disaster.

With that said I love that the majority of this list is paleo friendly. This 10 Best Survival Foods You Can Grow Infographic has one grain and one legume.

Kale is definitely a big one on my list of top survival foods. I eat it almost daily. Kale is a nutrient wonder food. It is cold hardy in the US.

It’s odd how kale divides people. It’s either love or hate with kale. I generally eat it cooked down in bacon fat. And I don’t know anything that doesn’t taste batter in bacon fat.

Another one on the 10 Best Survival Foods You Can Grow Infographic that I love are sweet potatoes. I love sweet potatoes.

Unfortunately, the sweet potato is only known by many as the disgusting sweet potato casserole. Covered in brown sugar and marshmallows.

When I mention sweet potatoes that are usually what people think. And they say that they don’t like them. Have you ever tried sweet potato hashbrowns? Baked Hashbrowns? Or any of the myriad of other ways that accent the amazing taste and not cover it up.

Check out the entire 10 Best Survival Foods You Can Grow Infographic below for the rest.
