Black Friday Prepping Deals

Black Friday has become one of the best times of the year to buy stuff. “Doorbusters” lure us in to kick-start our holiday shopping. Prepping supplies are no exception. You can find all sorts of survival gear on sale during Black Friday.

The downside is obviously the traffic and the in-store ‘mobs’. I don’t particularly care to get caught up in 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 fewer, the deals just as good, and the money stays in your hometown.

We scanned the best survival and prepping finds and listed them below. So if you are making a wish list or have a few preppers to buy some Christmas presents for, check them out below!

Editor’s Note: Our November 12, 2026 update adds the current early Black Friday deals and prepares for the launch of the other deals.

Early Black Friday Prepping Deals

Black Friday sales have always crept early into Thanksgiving, unfortunately, but some sales are jumping the gun by several weeks. This is better for everyone, and the deals are already looking pretty good!

We’ll keep updating this section as the early deals roll in, and then the rest of the sections will start updating on Nov. 27th when the bulk of the Black Friday sales start.

Medical Supplies & IFAKs

MyMedic got started early this year, with a blanket 20% off all of their first aid kits and med packs. They are also throwing in gifts for purchases over $100.

Plenty of kits and medical supplies go on sale at Amazon as we get closer to Black Friday, so we’ll update those when they go live.

Security Cameras & Supplies

Amazon’s Black Friday doesn’t start until Nov 19th this year, but they get a head start with early deals every year. Like most of their sales, they start off by marking down security cameras, systems, and other security supplies.

This is always great timing since the holidays can be the season of the porch pirate. Don’t let the best time of year turn into the worst by boosting your home security ahead of time.

Check out the deals and countdown here:

Pepper spray is an excellent non-lethal self-defense option when you are out and about. Sabre has sales on both the Runner Defense Spray (15% off) and their larger-range Home Defense Gel (18% off).

Food Preservation

All November long, the ones that brought freeze-drying technology home are bringing some solid savings on their new Pro models, ranging from $500-$1,000 off.

Harvest Right continues to top our freeze-dryer review with trusted quality and unbeatable prices. Many preppers wait for this sale if they have been planning on buying one because it’s always the lowest price of the year.

A freeze-dryer doesn’t make sense for everyone, though. We found after reviewing many models that you need to process a lot of food to start seeing savings compared to emergency food suppliers.

Check out their freeze-dryers here:

The Good Black Friday Prepping Deals

Black Friday is upon us, and with that comes a huge range of sales. Some are good, some are bad, and some are insane. We cut through the noise every year and ferret out the best deals for preppers and survivalists on the gear you actually want.

Some of the stuff out there is 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.

We use the big sales to stock up on ourselves and to pick up new gear for our reviews. We keep a keen eye out for the ‘real deals’, rather than the ‘inflated to look good on Black Friday’ deals.

Here are some good sales to check out this Black Friday:
