Amazon Big Spring Sale Survival Gear Deals
Amazon’s first big sale of the year, the Big Spring Sale, offers some big deals on survival gear and prepping supplies. At this point, Amazon typically has three large sales each year and participates in Black Friday. It’s been a while since Black Friday, and this is the biggest sale they’ve run since Christmas.
With spring around the corner and manufacturers with plenty of winter supplies to close out, there is a good mix of outdoor survival, garden, energy, and food storage deals prime for the picking.

The 2026 Amazon Big Spring Sale spans March 25-31. We’ll share the specifics on survival gear deals and prepping supplies during the entire sale period. When you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. Disclosure»
What is the Amazon Big Spring Sale?
Unlike Amazon’s Prime Day or Prime Big Deal Days, this sale isn’t just for Prime members. You don’t have to be a member to take advantage of the discounts. The sale spanned five days two years ago and will continue for seven days in 2026, from March 25 – 31.
Amazon offers a ton of sales on survival-related equipment and prepping supplies during this period. That makes it one of only a few sales per year available to everyone and anyone.
The specifics of the deals can change over the course of the seven days, but we’ll jump on them as quickly as possible so you won’t miss out. Sometimes gear goes out of stock, gets cleared out, or new items go on sale in the days that follow to keep the promotion fresh.
Outdoor Survival Gear
We regularly find outdoor survival gear in our daily deals, but spring is the time to find a whole bunch on sale, with survival gear overlapping with hiking, camping, and backpacking. Some significant savings are here for this sale, and here are a few of my favorites:
- Reflective Paracord 100′ Hank – $5.51 (was $7)

Power Banks, Solar, and Power Stations
Electronics are always a huge focus for big Amazon sales, but that doesn’t just mean TVs and game consoles. Power storage and generating equipment are also big. They had a few security systems for sale, but no markdowns compared to what they are doing with these power solutions.
Individual power banks (usually used for phones in emergencies) are giving some screaming deals:
- Anker 10,000 mAh Power Bank – $20 (was $30)
- Running Snail Emergency Weather Radio w/ 2,000 mAh Charger – $18 (was $27) – Budget pick from our emergency weather radio review, the tiny solar panel and crank charger can help your phone during emergencies.
Batteries are discounted enough to stockpile:

Solar panels continue to get cheaper every year:

- Renogy 200W Solar Panel – $136 (was $190)

Jackery, EcoFlow, and Anker are tangling over the best power station prices:

If you don’t have a solar power solution yet, it’s a better time than ever to try it out, cheaper than ever.
Portable generators are still the proven option and have pretty good price relief for this sale:
- PowerSmart 2,500W Inverter Generator – $237 (was $340)
- WEN 4,750W Dual Fuel Generator – $395 (was $465)
- DuroMax 13,000W Dual Fuel Generator – $1,299 (was $1,499)
Garden Supplies
As a spring sale, we wouldn’t expect anything less than great deals on garden supplies to make things green again. I picked up a few of these same metal garden beds (the 3×6) last year, and they held up pretty well- just some rust on a few of the screws. They helped me turn this space next to my deck into a usable area with plenty of sun now that it’s elevated.
- 800+ Ft Natural Jute Twine – $6 (was $10)
- 10,000 Seed Vegetable/Herb Variety Pack – $19 (was $30)
- Homegrown 28,000 Seed 55 Vegetable Variety Pack – $35 (was $45)
- AeroGarden Harvest Lite Indoor Hydroponic System – $61 (was $100)
- Best Choice 6x3x2 Raised Metal Garden Bed – $89 (was $139)
- Best Choice 8x4x2 Raised Metal Garden Bed – $129 (was $179)
If you are just getting started with your garden now, you might be behind a smidge, but these could help you catch up with the season or even grow plants on your own terms (with the hydroponics system).
Food Storage Deals
When you are stashing food away for emergencies, your budget can take a hit. Luckily, some of the appliances that help with food preservation and food itself are a part of this sale.
Some of our favorites include:
- ReadyWise 72-Hour Food Supply – $21 (was $25)
- Mountain House Classic Bucket – $111 (was $135)
- Readywise Entree Bucket – $97 (was $154)
Don’t forget the equipment to preserve food on your own:
- FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer – $70 (was $100)
- Cosori Food Dehydrator – $140 (was $159) – From our best dehydrator review.
And racks to store food off the floor:
- REIBII 2400lb Storage Shelves – $42 (was $50)
These are some of the best deals around and may end up back-ordered or out of stock as the sale goes on.
CBRN Equipment and PPE
CBRN gear can pull some weight as part of your preparedness plan if you live in an urban environment, near a nuclear facility, or want to prepare for low-probability/high-impact widespread global threats.

Best Survival Big Spring Sale Deals
The categories that the deals are focused on can vary, but the ones that are most applicable to survival and prepping fall into only a few.
Some of the key categories include:
- Sports and Outdoors (for outdoor survival and bushcraft)

If you browse the categories, you may find even more deals than we’ve listed to fill out your survival kits and prepper pantry.
Other Spring Sales
Amazon didn’t invent the spring sale, although they did consolidate it to a specific period at the end of March. Most other retailers have followed suit and are running their own spring sales through the same period. You’ll want to check out the same categories we mentioned above for prepping supplies and survival gear, but here are the biggest retailer sales (that aren’t named Amazon):
- Walmart Super Savings Week – Not to be outdone, their online-only sale ‘week’ runs 3/24 – 4/1.
- EcoFlow Spring Sale – Up to 59% off at EcoFlow’s direct site, through March 31st.
- Eberlestock Spring Sale – Up to 60% off at Eberlestock’s site includes rare sales on their most popular bags.

The 3M Aura N95 is the best!! Unless you have a neck beard.
Anyway, been on the lookout for months since using my last one. Thanks!!
Some thoughts. Paracord (known in the military as 550 cord) is made by a number of companies. It is important to do your research. You need Type III MIL-C 5040H. The latest version is Type IV.
I have several Mora knives (the Light My Fire). They are incredible knives and well worth the cost. I also have several Buck knives (Buck only makes two models in the USA), a K-Bar and a Kershaw (made in Japan in the mid 50’s). If you have a limited budget, get a Mora and a K-Bar with the 7 in blade.
