In my previous post I mentioned that I hoped everyone was ready for the end of the world in 2012. I decided to take it a bit further. In order to help you do so I have put together a list of top 10 2012 gadgets / supplies you won't be able to live without. Now it's up to you to take initiative. Thank me now or thank me later.. either way I know I'm getting some thanks.

#1. Amazon Kindle
I can already hear the whining. "Why in the world would I need a Kindle?" Here is what you do: Buy the Kindle and load it with every book on survival you can get your hands on. Skills you will need, but aren't going to know, will now be at your fingertips. The is probably going to be one of the more important tools you own when the time comes.

#2. Crosman Benjamin Discovery .22 Air Rifle
Why a BB gun and not a real gun you ask? It's simple- ammunition. You can carry thousands of BBs easily, but not thousands of bullets. For any small game you will need to hunt a powerful BB gun will do the trick just fine. You should also pick up 1 or 2 6000 Copper BBs in a Bottle. These will last you a very long time.

#3. 6 Months Freeze Dried/Dehydrated Food
This will not be for everybody. If you a place underground to store this much food it would be a good idea. Anything above ground will be exposed to the elements so I would be hesitant to insist you make this purchase if don't have the space (although money won't do you any good either- so buy it anyways).

#4. Polar Pure Water Disinfectant
For how cheap they are, I would buy at least 20 of these. Nobody is sure exactly what to expect come December 21, 2012. All we know is that it's going to be chaos. These little boogers will purify 2,000 quarts of water. Will you need to purify that much water? Who knows? Maybe you'll want to try and save some people around you who aren't smart enough to read this post. And then again, maybe you want to be alone...

#5. Rally 7500 Crank Radio
"A radio? Seriously? Now why do I need a radio??" Not only does it work as a radio (if there are any stations still operating) but you can also use it to charge any of your small electronics you may still have, or find- cha-ching! And since it uses a hand crank to create its juice, you can charge your equipment forever (or until it breaks).

#6. Fire Starter
This one is pretty self-explanatory. You will need to own one of these and it fits in your pocket. Could it be any easier? A no-brainer.

#7. SureFire Utility Knife
You are going to need a knife that will last you forever. I'm telling you right now- don't buy a shitty knife. A good knife could end up being one of the key factors in your survival. Why do I want you to survive you ask? Because I'm just that nice of a person. You're welcome.

#8. Casio Men's PAW2000T-7CR Watch
What it boils down to is that you are going to want a watch that can do everything. Some of the features this one has is a digital compass, altimeter, barometer and thermometer. When these things aren't readily available by turning on the TV, you'll be glad you have this on your wrist. It's also a solar powered watch so you should have it for a long time.

#9. MSR Stormking Tent
You are going to want a tent that can handle all of the elements. Cold, windy, hot, rain, sleet- shall I continue? Get this tent and you will be protected from it all (except bullets and explosions).

#10. Medical Kit
Expect that something bad is going to happen to you. Get a med kit. It may save your life.

As you can see, I didn't point you in the money saving direction. I would only recommend something that I would buy for the situation we will be encountering. Do I want $39 tent that falls apart after the first night I sleep in it? Hell no I don't. Do I want a watch that will break when I get rained on? Again, no. Don't be a cheap ass.. buy the good stuff. Come December 2012 you'll be happy about it.
