Bear Grylls Survival Gear

    So...yeah, please don't be mad...we missed Weapons Wednesday.  So, in its place here is Fundamentals Friday!  We'll be looking at Bear Grylls gear.  This guy is pretty crazy, I thoroughly enjoy his show (even though he has a camera crew).  He has participated in some insane survival situations and captured them for all of us to enjoy.  Due to his huge success he has been lucky enough to get some great sponsers that use his name to sell some pretty great gear.  The two biggest names are Gerber and Craghoppers.

     Gerber has been making quality tools since 1939.  They have a huge variety of tools, folding knives, fixed blade knives and survival gear.  The Bear Grylls Gerber line of gear, knives and tools have great reviews and have a large variety.  The prices are moderate and range from $16 - $85.  Interestingly enough the survival kits can be a key feature to your Bug-Out-Bag and priced from $23 to $52 they are a great basis to get started.  They can be bought through Amazon or at your local sports store such as Dicks, Sports Authority, Cabelas and Bass Pro Shops.

     Craghoppers is a force to be reckoned with in the outdoor appareal market. Making clothes since 1965, it all started with a planned trip to Mt. Everest and the need for dependable gear.  The Bear Grylls line is for Men and Kids (sorry ladies) that includes outerwear, t-shirts, pants, and hats.  The gear is not expensive, but not cheap, ranging from $20 to $275.00; quality materials and high craftsmanship make it fully worth it though.

      If you are planning for the end or just planning for a camping weekend, this gear will assist you year after year.  And seriously, Gerber was shown in Walking Dead, so if AMC says it will help....well, guess its time to buy it.  TKZ_out.
