Bradley Mountain Survival Playing Cards

There’s no shortage of playing card styles and designs to choose from, ranging from the classic red-and-black on a white background to high fashion, minimalist decks. But how many playing cards can lay claim to maybe saving your life one day? Answer: Only the Bradley Mountain Survival Playing Cards, as far as we know.

One of the craftsmen over at Bradley Mountain, Andrew Nguyen, is responsible for all of the gorgeous illustrations on this outdoor-themed deck. And every single card is unique, with a printed survival tip ranging from how to avoid a bear attack (talk to it so it knows you’re a human, and don’t yell or make sudden moves) to using every part of the prickly pear to survive in the desert. It’s a perfect gift for any outdoorsy nerd you know, and you might as well order a deck for yourself, too.
