Free Survival Gear and Prepper Samples
This is a dynamic Free Prepper Gear guide curated by all of our authors. This 100% free (no shipping, handling, credit cards, or other nonsense) roundup is constantly being updated with up-to-date and accurate information, so please check back frequently for updates.
We host our own giveaways and hunt down great deals daily– but there is one more way you can get prepping and survival gear cheap: free prepper gear. Free stuff can be found all over the internet if you know where to look.
We’ve previously promoted ‘free gear’ that had shipping and handling fees, which obviously makes them not free! We’ve pulled all of these listings to make room for the truly free stuff that won’t cost you a dime- even the shipping is covered! Below, we list out the best options on where to find free gear at absolutely no cost.

Free Prepper Samples
Your opinion matters. Really! Companies are willing to give you free stuff in exchange for it. Here are the major companies that give out free gear and samples, or just pay you for a thumbs up or down:
American Consumer Opinion – These guys have been around for a long time and used to conduct their business with mailers. They test products and advertising for Fortune 500 companies by polling their members.
You need to live in the US (obviously) to be a member and can sign up to receive cash, gift cards, or samples for taking their surveys. It’s easy to quickly try it out and see if it is for you:
The Value Palace – Subscribe through email to get the latest freebie offers directly from brands and manufacturers. As I’m typing this I signed up to get a bunch of seasoning from McCormick to help with my condiment stockpile.
Review for Free Survival Gear
Do you already own some survival gear or prepping tools? Chances are that if you do, you could leave a pretty good review on how it’s been holding up for you. Leave enough reviews and companies will send you gear for free just to keep the reviews coming!
Amazon – Did you know Amazon will start shipping you free stuff if you give enough well-received reviews? The secret is engaging reviews with photos and/or videos. Focus on a niche (like survival gear?) and it will increase your likelihood that you will become a ‘top reviewer’ and get gear from that niche.

Free Survival Gear Scams
They aren’t as common as they once were, but you can still find scams out there claiming to be giving out ‘free survival gear’, but then they charge you shipping and handling more than the actual gear is worth. Typically this applied to ‘tacticool’ gear that wasn’t very practical, including:
- Paracord bombs
- Paracord bracelets
- Credit card knives
- Tactical pens
If you run into one of these ‘freebies’ just be careful. A lot of the companies that you would get these from don’t have great reputations and may also be farming out your private information as well.
