1. Boasting 215 square inches of cooking space and packed with two 20,000 BTU burners, the Camp Chef Everest 2X Cooking Stove will easily satisfy your cooking needs until power is restored. A matchless ignition system adds an element of safety and convenience, while a three-sided windscreen provides protection from the elements when in use. Once finished, the lockable lid makes for convenient storage. MSRP: $389.99; campchef.com


2. The Katadyn Pocket Water Filter is lightweight and compact, yet still removes 99.9 percent of harmful bacteria, protozoa and other disease-causing agents while purifying up to 50,000 liters of water with its .02-micron filter. Its ceramic interior allows it to be cleaned several times, unlike other similar disposable offerings. Simple and easy to use, it requires no electrical power or batteries. Hoses and maintenance tools are included. It is also backed by a 20-year warranty. MSRP: $429.95; katadyngroup.com


3. The versatile Nightstick Dual-Light Tactical Flashlight features a switch that allows you to toggle between three modes: a momentary or constant-on flashlight, a floodlight or a combination of both. On its highest setting, it casts a blinding 1,100-lumen beam to a distance of 235 meters for more than 2 hours, while in flood mode it produces a 350-lumen, downward-facing beam for 5 hours, and when even greater versatility is needed it casts an 850-lumen beam in dual-light mode. MSRP: $205.95; nightstick.com


4. The ReadyWise 120-Serving Freeze-Dried Fruit Bucket is brimming with a variety of durable sustenance. It is shipped in a handy, easy-to store container and includes 120 servings of long-term-storable meals, all in their own convenient, eat-in pouch. As a means of maximizing its 20-year shelf life and avoiding waste, every Mylar pouch contains eight servings, so you can make the bucket last. Tasty selections include: four pouches of bananas, two pouches of peaches, four pouches of strawberries and five pouches of apples. MSRP: $169.99; brownells.com


5. The Coleman Solar Battery Trickle Charger utilizes solar technology that allows the included panel to operate in daylight—even in cloudy conditions—to keep vital 12-volt batteries charged. A weatherproof design consisting of ABS plastic and shatterproof, tempered glass construction provides lasting durability, while quick-connect fasteners promote ease of use. Included are a quick-connect plug, a 12-volt DC plug, 8 feet of wire, battery clamps and mounting hardware. MSRP: $54.99; cabelas.com
