12 Preparedness Items for Under $10
12 Preparedness Items for Under $10
If you are reading this, you know that prepping can be very expensive. Sometimes even a ten spot is hard to come by these days. If you are lucky enough to have $10 to spare, surprisingly, there are quite a few interesting and useful items available. For folks on a limited budget, this is a good place to start. These are inexpensive items that work great! Each item can fill a gap in your preps or even be a back-up. Here are 12 Preparedness Items Under $10.
The Friendly Swede Grenade Survival Pull- This super handy Survival kit contains Tin Foil, Tinder, Fire Starter, Fishing Lines, Fishing Hooks, Weights, Swivels, Bobber, Knife Blade Wrapped in 7ft of 500 lb Paracord all attached to a handy carabiner for you to mount to the zipper on your Bug Out Bag
The CREE LED Flashlight- This is a favorite among preppers! It has an aluminum body with a 300Ln CREE LED for less than five bucks..shipped to your door. It gets good reviews but keep note, shipping time is long and it doesn’t come with a battery, but hey, what can you expect for less than $5.
Esbit Ult
ralight Folding Pocket Stove- This folding pocket stove comes in handy on the trail. Use it to boil water to make sure it’s safe. It comes with 6 odorless solid fuel tablets and is constructed from galvanized steel.
Ultralight Backpacking Stove- It works as well as any stove costing ten times more, weighs just a couple of ounces and will heat your food in an emergency (or start a fire). I own several more expensive stoves and can’t think of a viable reason to spend the extra money. You can’t go wrong with this one.
Nite
Ize Figure 9 Carabiner- This little Carbiner is an amazing cord tensioner. It is a quick and easy way to use paracord to secure loads of varying size to almost anything. It’s makes for easy adjustment to cord tension and comes in 2 sizes.
Sawyer Poc
ket First Aid Kit- You should have a first aid kit everywhere you go. At this price you can have one of these in every bag, glove compartment, and medicine cabinet. Folks are always asking for low cost medical kits, while this one will attend to minor injuries, it works nonetheless.
550 Paracord- Do we need to go over why you need to own paracord? It is the duct tape (should be on this list) of the prepper world. It has a thousand uses, from erecting shelter to fishing line. If you don’t have a few hundred feet of paracord laying around, you need to question calling yourself a “prepper”. Just be sure you are buying type III 7 strand cord as all cords are not the same.
Chainm
ate 24-inch Survival Pocket Chain Saw with Pouch – The 24-inch pocket chain saw can come in very handy on the trail. Use it to cut up firewood in a hurry or to help cut branches to make a shelter. It comes in its own pouch to mount onto your backpack.
Swisstec
h Multitool- Multi-tools come in all prices. At the low end of the acceptable scale is the Swisstech, this 19 in 1 tool has a rather innovative design for the price and folds up quite neatly. If you are on a budget and don’t have a multi-tool, this one is for you!
Nite Ize Doohickey- This neat little guy has many uses packed into a package that fits on your key ring. Who’d imagine you could fit a Box Cutter, Bottle Opener, Wrench, Ruler, and Flat Head Screw Driver into such a small package. It is tools like this that can get you out of a jam, just because you have them on your person.
Emergency Survival Mylar Thermal Reflective Shelter Tube Tent -This lightweight emergency shelter just might save your life and the life of a friend. Its rated for 2 people and retains/reflects 90% of body heat which can prevent or counter Hypothermia.
Schrade SCH107- This little folder is right on the cusp of our dollar range. Some days it’s under $10, some it’s over. One thing is for certain, it is probably the best folder on the market for ten bucks. With the Bead Blast High Carbon Stainless Steel and the G10 handle, you can’t go wrong with this pocket knife.
