10 Gifts for Firefighters That Won't Disappoint
LMNT electrolytes
A delicious electrolyte drink mix that is formulated to help anyone with their electrolyte needs and is perfectly suited to folks following a keto, low-carb, or paleo diet. My favorite flavors are citrus salt and chocolate.
Rogue Plate Carrier
Designed specifically for use in functional fitness scenarios. Made in the USA. Durable but comfortable. Supports a worthy cause. Weighted Vests are great for conditioning, general strength training, and adding additional difficulty to many different workouts. One of my favorite exercises is weighted Sissy Squats. Give them a try!
Darn Tough Merino Wool Socks
If you're looking for a boot-capable, durable, cold-weather sock with excellent underfoot cushioning, the Darn Tough Hiker Full Cushion is a solid choice. Unmatched durability and lifetime warranty. Excellent wicking capabilities. Thicker padding and comfort.
Magnesium Glycinate
For the stressed-out, sleep-deprived firefighters, this supplement is a game changer. Magnesium activates essential enzymes in your body for optimal cardiac function, neuromuscular contractions, and acid-alkaline balance. This mineral is crucial for metabolizing carbohydrates, amino acids, and fats, and aiding in energy production and the utilization of calcium, phosphorus, sodium, and potassium. I take mag glycinate 30-60min prior to sleep.
Carote Pots & Pans
High-quality nonstick granite material that's 100% free of PROS and PFOA make this Carote Cookware Set a safe, healthy option for the home or firehouse. Super easy to clean, excellent non-stick performance, and the extended bottom design with high magnetic conduction helps foods cook evenly and quickly. These are the best pans I’ve found for cooking eggs, and I eat a lot of eggs!
CARHARTT MEN’S RAIN DEFENDER LOOSE FIT HEAVYWEIGHT SWEATSHIRT
Unsurprisingly durable, reliable, and built for strenuous scenarios. Made of heavy-duty fabric, this sweatshirt is able to withstand tough conditions and keep you warm while working or sitting by the campfire. The Rain Defender repels water to keep you dry, while the loose fit allows for freedom of movement and easy-going comfort.
LUXE Bidet NEO 120
A bidet would make a thoughtful wellness gift for a significant other. The LUXE Bidet is an ideal starter bidet: It has a minimalist design and just a few simple settings.
The UFF Book of Wisdom: Philosophy for Firefighters
This book considers the questions many firefighters wrestle with: What makes being a firefighter the best job in the world? What does being fit for duty really mean, and how is it achieved? Are firefighters destined for disease, depression, and burnout? How do we best spend our time at the firehouse? How can we retire in one piece?
“I have now bought three copies. One for the house, one for my previous station assignment, and one for the new one. This book is a must have in every fire station. It never leaves the kitchen table. It gets picked up every day, by both new and old guys. The goal for now is to have one on every table in my Battalion. And eventually, in every station in my department. Because the wisdom and truths that are in this book, everyone needs to know.”
