Survival Gear

What is the best survival gear? It’s one of the top questions we get. While our answer usually includes some variation of the knowledge is king mantra, we also understand that having the right gear can make not only make survival a lot easier, but in some cases it can mean the difference between life and death.

Here at OFFGRID Survival we take our gear recommendations seriously. We’re not just another faceless website trying to sell you a bunch of crap. We do use affiliate links when linking to some of the products we talk about on the site – hey we have to pay the bills (trust me, it barely pays for our hosting servers) – but we never recommend anything that we don’t use, pack in our own survival/bugout bags, or carry as an EDC.
