Hurricane season is here, and if you’ve ever lived through a major storm, you know how fast life can change. One moment you’re scrolling on your phone, and the next—bam!—the power is out, the wind is howling, and you’re wondering if you stocked up enough supplies.
Preparing for hurricane season isn’t about panic—it’s about peace of mind during hurricanes. Having the right survival gear ensures your family is safe, comfortable, and capable of riding out the storm no matter what nature throws your way.
At Seed Armory, we believe in self-reliance and preparation. That’s why we’ve pulled together 7 survival essentials you can’t afford to skip this hurricane season—from 100-hour smokeless emergency candles to Legacy food storage buckets and even raw honey that never spoils.
Ready to prep smart for hurricanes? Let’s dive in.
Why Preparing for Hurricane Season Now Matters
Before we get into the essentials, let’s talk reality. Hurricanes don’t just bring high winds and heavy rain. They can:
Knock out power for days (sometimes weeks)
Cut off food and water supply lines
Limit communication if cell towers go down
Leave you stranded without stores, gas stations, or banks
When you prepare for hurricane season ahead of time, you’re not just checking off a list—you’re securing your family’s survival, health, and comfort.
Now, let’s go through the seven must-have items for your hurricane preparedness kit.
1. 100-Hour Emergency Candle, Smokeless
Light That Lasts When the Grid Goes Dark
When the power goes out, the first thing you notice is the darkness. Flashlights are great, but batteries run out fast. That’s where the 100-Hour Emergency Candle comes in.
Smokeless: Unlike regular candles, these won’t leave soot on your walls or fill the air with smoke.
100 hours of light: That’s more than four days of continuous burn—ideal when you don’t know how long the blackout will last.
No electricity required: Just light it and let it go to work.
Whether you’re cooking dinner, reading to your kids, or just trying to keep the mood calm, these candles bring steady, reliable light when you need it most during hurricanes or any emergency situation.
2. GH35 35L 24-Hour Tactical Backpack
The Bug-Out Bag You’ll Actually Use
If you ever need to evacuate during a hurricane, a tactical backpack becomes your lifeline. The GH35 35L Tactical Backpack isn’t just another bag—it’s designed for survival.
35 liters of storage: Enough space to carry food, water, tools, and first-aid supplies.
Rugged and weather-resistant: Built to handle tough conditions.
Comfortable fit: Adjustable straps so you can haul your gear without breaking your back.
This isn’t just for bugging out either. Use it as a go-bag during hurricanes or emergencies—pre-packed with essentials so you’re always ready to move fast if your area is ordered to evacuate.
3. 120 Serving Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner Bucket (31 lbs)
Food Security When Grocery Stores Are Empty
When hurricanes hit, grocery store shelves get cleared in hours. That’s why having a Legacy Food Storage bucket on hand is a game-changer.
120 servings: Nutritious breakfasts, lunches, and dinners for weeks.
31 lbs compact bucket: Easy to store and carry.
Long shelf life: Legacy food storage is designed for years, not weeks.
You can keep this sealed away until you need it—then rest easy knowing your family has food security even if stores stay closed for days during hurricanes.
4. Ball Canning Jars – Case of 6 or 12
Preserve What You Grow or Buy Before the Storm
Sometimes the best prepping isn’t about stockpiling—it’s about preserving. Ball Canning Jars are a classic, and for good reason:
Preserve fresh produce: If you’ve got a garden or local farmers market, you can can veggies before the storm.
Extend shelf life: Reduce waste and build a long-term pantry.
Reusable & durable: These jars last for years with proper care.
When power outages threaten to spoil your fridge and freezer, you’ll be glad you invested in canning supplies for hurricane season.
5. SurvivorCord | DARK EARTH
The Cord That Does More Than Tie Things Down
Rope and cordage are often overlooked, but SurvivorCord isn’t just any paracord—it’s a survival tool packed with extras.
550 lb strength: Tough enough for shelter building, tying down tarps, or hauling supplies.
Built-in fire starter strand: Always have tinder on hand.
Fishing line & snare wire inside: Catch food if you’re in survival mode.
This one product replaces three or four others in your kit, making it an absolute essential for hurricane season.
6. Black Beard Fire Plug Kit | Fire Starter Kit
Fire in Any Weather, Guaranteed
If your matches get wet or your lighter runs out, you’ll be thankful for the Black Beard Fire Starter Kit.
Waterproof and windproof: Works even in the nastiest storm conditions.
Compact and lightweight: Easy to store in your bug-out bag.
Multiple uses: Each plug burns hot and long, making fire starting simple.
When you’re cold, wet, and need heat or a way to cook, this kit is worth its weight in gold for hurricane season.
7. 100% Pure Honey – Raw and Unfiltered
The Sweet Survival Superfood
You might not think of honey as survival gear, but it’s one of the most underrated prep items out there.
Never spoils: Raw honey literally lasts forever.
Natural energy source: Packed with quick-digesting carbs.
Medicinal uses: Can soothe sore throats, boost immunity, and even act as a wound dressing.
A little goes a long way, and unlike processed sugar, raw honey gives you both flavor and function in an emergency or hurricane.
Don’t Wait Until a Hurricane's Knocking on Your Door!
The truth is, most people wait until the last minute to prepare for hurricane season—and by then, the shelves are bare. Don’t be that person scrambling for supplies when the hurricane is already on the radar.
By investing in these seven essentials—from 100-hour smokeless emergency candles to Legacy food storage and fire-starter kits—you’re giving your family the peace of mind that comes with preparation for hurricanes.
When the winds howl and the rain falls, you’ll be glad you took the time now to get ready.
