Blue Ridge Overland Gear - Headrest IFAK Bundle
BROG's products aren't just for off-roading and overland journeys. That's why we think the Headrest IFAK Kit is perfect whether you use your vehicle for hitting the trails or if it's strictly for pavement. This combo provides not only an organized and easily identifiable spot to carry a first aid kit but it also makes sure it stays within reach and accessible, even during emergency situations. The headrest panel simply wraps around the headrest, and the IFAK attaches to it via Velcro. Giving the gift of preparedness is never a bad idea.

Condor Knife & Tool - Urban EDC Puukko
It's difficult to pick a favorite blade from Condor's extensive catalog, but if we had to choose just one, the Urban EDC Puukko would be at the top of our list.

Grayl - UltraPress® Ti Purifier
Clean water is key, and we've yet to find a quicker and more efficient way to purify water than the Grayl line of presses. The newest addition to that collection, the 16.9oz UltraPress® Ti Purifier, provides clean water in a slim and lightweight package. Plus, you can use the outer cup over a fire or camp stove. It's worth noting that Grayl products purify, not just filter, so you're getting rid of viruses, bacteria, protozoa, particulates, chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, and heavy metals.

Harden Hill Honey - Propolis
One of our favorite finds of the years has been the Propolis Tincture from Hardin Hill Honey. Propolis is nature's antibiotic and pain reliever. It's great for soothing a fresh wound, and continued application promotes healing. While we can't make any official claims about its medicinal properties since we aren't a drug manufacturer, we can tell you we've seen firsthand how well it promotes healing. Propolis has been used for centuries, and we can definitely see why.*

LT Wright Knives - Bushcrafter
While our friends at LT Wright Knives make dozens of models to fit a variety of needs, we thought we'd stick with a classic for the 2023 Bushcraft Gear Guide. The Bushcrafter has been in the LTWK catalog for a number of years but still remains popular, and with good reason. You can occasionally find exotic steels and handle materials, but there's nothing wrong with the classic O1 paired with Natural Micarta. Measuring in with a 3 5/8 inch blade and an overall length of 8 1/4 inches, it's a great EDC blade that can handle bushcraft tasks in the wilderness.
