Black Friday Prepping Deals [2023]
This post is updated each year for the latest Black Friday prepping deals and is updated as we get closer and discover even more deals. This is now the 5th year our team is bringing you the best deals of the season!
Black Friday has become one of the best times of the year to buy stuff. “Doorbusters” lure us in to kick start their holiday shopping. Prepping supplies are no exception. You can find all sorts of survival gear on sale during Black Friday. The downside of all this is obviously the traffic and the in-store ‘mobs’. I don’t particularly care to get caught up with any of that mess, and online deals have spread out past the traditional Cyber Monday- even into Black Friday itself.
If you do feel the need to go out into the insane crowds, we urge you to shop local and find good deals from the little guys. The crowds should be less, the deals just as good, and the money stays in your hometown. We scanned over all of the best survival and prepping finds and listed them out below. So if you are making a wish list or have a few preppers to buy some Christmas presents for: check them out below!

The Good Black Friday Prepping Deals
Big box stores and large retailers always have good deals around Black Friday. They are predictable around this time of year; they release their deals early and often so it’s best to find something you like early and pick it up as soon as it goes on sale.
Some of the stuff is Chinese junk- so don’t go on a spending spree without doing a little research. Use our guides and reviews on specific products that you may be looking for to add to your survival kits.
I like to narrow it down by checking out the sports and outdoors categories. It’s always changing based on stock and availability, so we can’t just list one good deal, but you can be sure they are out there. Camping lanterns, LED flashlights, backpacking packs, and gun holsters are a few of the deals I’ve found in the past.
