Owners of the UDI can use it to track their boats, gauge how far they are drifting per minute, and set a timer to tell them when their oxygen will be low and when their dive is up.

On the comical side of survival, there is the Tactical Sammich. It packs 300 calories that are guaranteed to stay fresh and tasty for up to two years, regardless of surrounding temperatures and conditions. The next time a plague strikes you won’t be out foraging for food when you have the Tactical Sammich! Sadly, it only comes in two flavors, so you’d better really, really like BBQ or pepperoni. On second thoughts, you might want to get a few MREs from the military goods store, too.

Survival is rarely a matter of chance. People who survive have planned carefully and made preparations for emergencies. With the help of the devices in this list you could be one of the lucky few who are left to repopulate a savaged planet, or at least one of the ones who survives a power outage.
