According to a poll by the international research company Ipsos, which they conducted on behalf of the Reuters news agency, one in seven people believe that the world will come to an end during their lifetime.
Those who contend that the Earth will expire sooner rather than later are busy preparing for the worst to happen. In order to do this, it’s important to stock up on some of the best and most innovative high-tech tools that will help people survive the apocalypse. With that in mind, here are some top tools that should help everyone get through the end of the world with flying colors:
Satellite phone
As Zombie Research Society notes, since regular phones and the internet will most certainly cease to work during the apocalypse, it’s vital to find a phone that will survive the worst of all scenarios. One option is the Iridium satellite phone; not only is it extremely tough and can survive being dropped or even getting wet, but it since it relies on satellite power, it will give people a much-needed and reliable phone that even the meanest of zombies cannot touch. As Roadpost notes, the Iridium satellite phone feature global coverage and come in a variety of options, including prepaid cards and different subscription plans.
Eton FRX3
This portable radio is ideal for surviving in a zombie-infested post apocalyptic world; in addition to giving weather alerts, it’s a great way to get the latest news. In addition, it functions as a portable charger that can help keep mobile electronics juiced up through its handy USB port. It runs on batteries, but as a backup, can also be manually hand-cranked, as well as run on solar power. The Eton FRX3 is available at various merchants including Amazon for less than $60.
Power Pot
In the event of an apocalypse, people will need all of the survival help they can get, and the less they have to carry, the better. The Power Pot takes technological multi-tasking to the next level—put it by a campfire, and it will soak up enough heat to boil water and will also hold electricity that people can use through its built-in USB port. So if the Iridium phone starts to lose power, folks can plug it in and get it charged up again. Think Geek stocks the thermoelectric generator for $129.99.
LightCap 300
During the apocalypse, water will most certainly be a rare commodity. This means that people will need to have portable sources of water. The LightCap 300 takes the concept of a regular canteen and elevates it to the next level; in addition to holding water, it can be used as a solar-powered lantern. When its four LEDs are fully charged, it will be a reliable source of light for 8 hours, and its light sensor will make sure it’s not working during the day, when its powers are not needed. It holds a liter of H2O, which won’t get too heavy to carry. There are several online merchants that sell this item; for example, Amazon carries one for around $37.
