Independence Day sales are typically known for deals on grills, lawn equipment, coolers, and ways to stay cool through the summer, and all of those can relate to prepping and survival in some way. After checking out a slew of sales, we’ve rounded up the best gear for preppers to check out to augment their survival kits and preparedness plans.
July 4th lands on a Friday this year, but sales have already started, and a few run through the weekend for the most part. Like most roundups, we’ll keep updating as sales come and go throughout the period, so check back periodically to catch new deals.

Firearms, Accessories, & Ammo
It makes sense that out of all the holiday sales, firearms are front and center for the July 4th sales. All of the brands and vendors have been blowing up our email inboxes with sales to ‘let freedom ring’.
A few of the discounts support the hubbub, with some steep sales on a whole range of firearms, accessories, and ammunition.
The best deals are on the less-expensive brands and models:
Ammo is also at some low prices (see more at our Ammo Price Tracker).
Accessories are there too:
The brands with Independence Day deals:
Portable Grills and Stoves
Grills, stoves, and cookouts are always a mainstay of July 4th celebrations. They also come in handy when you need to cook without power or while you are on the move.
Emergency Food
It’s mostly the on-the-go food that is on sale- backpacking meals that can double as emergency meals, either in mobile survival kits or as grab-and-go emergency options in your prepper pantry.
Medical & First Aid
Medical supplies are always useful for preppers, and first aid gear is essential for almost every type of survival kit. Picking up medical gear on sale can help you stretch your dollar, either saving money or being more prepared for a wider range of medical issues.
Wilderness Survival Gear
People are getting outdoors for the summer, so there is plenty of gear overlapping with wilderness survival on sale. Wilderness survival targets the fundamental needs we need as humans to survive, often summarized with the Survival Rule of Threes.
Whether you’re using the gear for preparedness or outdoor recreation, using it often is key to getting the most from it and knowing how to use it when you need to survive.
Battlbox is also serving up a pretty good sale by throwing in a Kong Kase ($120 value) with new box orders. Use the code KASED when you check out at Battlbox.
Safety & Security
Safety supplies are also important for your home, and a few are on sale.
Some self-defense tools for when you are on the move are also on sale:
The Final Word
I hope everyone has a great week leading up to Independence Day and a fun July 4th. It butts up to a weekend this year, so there is no reason not to continue celebrating our nation’s independence all weekend long!
