Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days doesn’t start until Tuesday, Oct. 6, but the early deals are already live, and some of them are on gear we’ve tested and use. Our top backpack cooler, the YETI Hopper M20, is $65 off. One of the our top cellular trail camera recommendations is down to under $50 a camera in a two-pack. And the Victorinox Huntsman, our pick for the best Swiss Army knife for the outdoors, is $13 under what every other retailer charges.
We pulled every hunting, fishing, and camping deal from Amazon’s early Prime sale, cut anything that’s cheaper at another store, and kept the 31 below. Prices were checked on Oct. 2 and can change fast, so grab what you want now.

Price Check
Every deal above beats or matches the best price we found at other retailers on Oct. 2. “Prime badge” means Amazon tags the item as an Early Prime Big Deal or Limited Time Deal. The rest are discounts in Amazon’s deals feed with no badge, so their prices may change without notice.
