Preparedness HOT DEALS Thread

Would it be OK to start a preparedness "hot deals" thread here?

The idea would be to post any good deals found on preparedness gear.

Or would that be too commercial for the forum's taste? Obviously no posting by those who stand to financially benefit...just good deals we've found and want to pass on.

Just bought a "Bear Grylls" Survival series ultimate knife from Walmart for $38.00 today. I saw the same knife for $59.99 at Scheels. Got the last one.
Didja get that JIC?

Not to put a damper on things but in the interest of safety I'll say it... be careful with that knife. People have been complaining left and right about that Bear Grylls series of knife falling apart when it use and just not being up to par with what you'd expect from Gerber. Again, not trying to be a downer and congrats on the buy, I'd just rather be honest than see ya get hurt.

Have you heard that after Gerber made the changes a few months back?

Hey, thanks for the update Emt581. I'm a total Gerber fan and have been carrying Gerber multi-tools since my military days and still have my original Gerber MT which is now over 20-years old. I've carried a Gerber Folding knife in civilian life for the past 7-years with no problems.

After reading your post I examined the knife, tried to bend it and seems solid. The only thing I don't like is that the fire starter (Ferrocerium Rod) inserts upside down into the sheath, kinda dumb.

It'll find it's place in one of my many bags of stuff. Again, thanks for the heads up.

I just bought one of these toys off Amazon - $22.99 and free shipping. I'll post a review when I get it.

Judging from the youtube reviews I watched - $22.99 for a toy that actually does see in the dark is money well spent.

I am surprised that a guy who supposedly buys hand operated wood splitters and saws his logs with a survival cable saw doesn't see that.

:rofl:

Nothing wrong with hand powered. Not sure what a survival cable is though...

Good luck with the toy. :wavey:

WikiReaders for sale for $15 (Normally 100) at 1 Sale A Day. It is wikipedia in its entirety (minus images, complex stuff, and html) in a palm-sized black and white electronic reader. 90 hours battery life and uses AA's. Combine this with a solar charger and you could have a potentially invaluable post-SHTF knowledge source. Free online updates every quarter.

I just ordered one.

No nothing wrong with hand powered which is why I reccomended you split your wood with a maul.

Survival cable saw - you posted a thread a while ago loking for the best one so you could cut limbs in your back yard. I am not wasting the time to find that thread but I am sure you remember it.



Honestly I don't see what your problem is. This toy uses infrared to see in the dark over 50 feet away and has a built in camera that you can store video or pictures to a removable Sandisk memory card. For $22.99 shipped that is a deal - even if it just sits behind the seat of my truck and I use it occassionally to view deer in the feild....it's worth it.

Read my last replies in that thread.

Oh you mean the pocket chain saw.

I have no problem. Again, I'm curious to see some feedback after you and others try them out.
