The Classic G-Shock DW-5600-1V by Casio has a battery that will last for many years (some have reported it lasting 18 and 20 years), and basic functions like digital day/date, seconds, optional light at the press of a button, and a rugged, replaceable watch-band. Its easy-to-set alarm, resistance to water and impact makes this classic Casio watch perfect for wear during trips away from home. This is an elegant time-piece, highly recommended in reviews on Amazon.com. ©M-J de Mesterton

See the Casio G-Shock DW 5600E-1V on Amazon.com, and read the rave-reviews (averaging 4.5 out of 5 stars) of this classic survival watch.

In 1983, Casio launched the shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch. This product shattered the notion that a watch is a fragile piece of jewelry that needs to be handled with care, and was the result of Casio engineers taking on the challenge of creating the world’s toughest watch. Using a triple-protection design for the parts, module, and case, the G-SHOCK offered a radical new type of watch that was unaffected by strong impacts or shaking. Its practicality was immediately recognized, and its unique look, which embodied its functionality, became wildly popular, resulting in explosive sales in the early 1990s. The G-SHOCK soon adopted various new sensors, solar-powered radio-controlled technology (described below), and new materials for even better durability. By always employing the latest technology, and continuing to transcend conventional thinking about the watch, the G-SHOCK brand has become Casio’s flagship timepiece product.

A survival tool with many applications, the Cree Lumen Master tactical light is something you will want to carry with you at all times. This powerful little gem requires three AAA batteries. It is a strong light-source that will allow you to scan your property or home for intruders, and if pointed at them will cause criminals to go wobbly, thereby giving you more time to react in fitting fashion. Our recommended supplier is a sterling fellow who will get Cree's fabulous torch to you in record time, at a price you can afford. In fact, one cannot afford to go without such an asset. Used by military personnel and savvy citizens, the business-end of this baby is a dangerous bit of metal with which no slime-ball wants to come into contact.
