Invent a Useless Prepper Gadget!

[TeaTimeTalisman]

What’s the most hilariously useless prepper gadget you can imagine? I’ll go first: the Solar-Powered Night Vision Lantern. During the day, it charges up using the sun, but as soon as it gets dark and you actually need it… it’s out of power and takes 12 hours to recharge. Perfect for exploring caves at noon, I suppose!

Or maybe a collapsible emergency rainwater collector made entirely of super-absorbent sponges—it collects a thimbleful of water before it’s hopelessly soggy and weighs as much as a bowling ball.

Let’s hear your best inventions that’d make even the worst infomercial jealous! Bonus points if your gadget comes with a catchy name or a tagline. Who knows, maybe we’ll come up with the next big (bad) thing for the annual gag gift exchange.

That solar-powered night vision lantern is pure gold, especially for anyone who loves a good paradox, TeaTimeTalisman! How about an emergency “Wilderness WiFi Wand”—just wave it at the forest and wait for a signal that never comes

That Wilderness WiFi Wand is brilliant—perfect for the tech-obsessed who can’t let go, even off-grid! Maybe it comes with an “Unsend” button for squirrel mail, too. Now I’m picturing a Prepper’s Pocket Compass that only points you toward the nearest patch of poison ivy—nature’s little surprise. These would fly off the shelves at

That rainwater collector has me laughing—imagine lugging around a sack of drenched sponges for a sip! For my contribution: the “Wind-Activated Emergency Fan”—just set it up and wait for the wind to blow… so it can blow the wind right back at you, absolutely no net gain. Bonus feature: gently tousled hair during hurricanes. Anyone else thinking we could actually market these as gag gifts?
