Well as the holiday comes closer, gear, gadgets, and gizmos are
taking the spot light with only ten shopping days left.   So I have
taken the time to focus on some low budget but high pay off items, in
regards to some great outdoor gear.

First off is one of my favorites; the Standard Stainless Steel
Nalgene.  At a price averaging at the $25.00 range, it's a great
container that not only stores water but can be used to boil it as well.
The fact that you don't have to worry about BPAs or an open flame, it's
well worth the weight.

Next would be Petzl Tactikka XP Headlight, although it a little
pricey at about $50 it has both great design and great functions.  With
plenty of extras like 4 filters, 4 settings, and a 40 lumens power
boost, you get great value for the price, and look ma'am no hands!
      

Third would be from our friends at Maxpedition, the Fatboy
Versipack.  At a price between the $45.00 and $60.00 mark this Versipack
is easy on the wallet but a great value to organize all your gear.  The
Fatboy is great for a small trail bag, a survival kit, or a bug out bag.
Maxpedition's stuff is all made tuff.  Like I have said before it not
only wears like iron, but has many load configures to fit your exact
gear carrying needs.
       

Last but not least and one of my favorite tools for the price is
of course the Becker BK-2 or Becker Campaign Knife.  Although the
standard sheath is little to be desired, the knife itself is a tank.
For a price around $65.00 it can't be beat, and trust me I test several
knives against it!  Here at Equip 2 Endure we take pride in our
practical prepared approach and the Becker BK-2 embodies those values.
       


Well I hope this helps, maybe you should forward this blog to
your spouse as a hint.  Take care, and remember:  If you're not always
prepared, you're never prepared!
