Flash Survival Gear Giveaways

Also planned for 2026- we’re continuing our flash giveaways! We have had the gear piling up as we dive deeper into reviews, and we are eager to get it into your hands with more giveaways this year. We buy thousands of dollars’ worth of gear every year to review and always have some extra to give away.

You’ll want to follow us on our social channels because we announce these survival giveaways exclusively there:

We keep them fast and short so we can quickly clear out room for more gear to use in our reviews. Check regularly to make sure you don’t miss out, since we don’t always list them on every single social account.

The Winners Circle

To date, we’ve given away several thousand dollars’ worth of gear from top brands! Our curiosity to find and review the best products can be your gain too when you enter and win our giveaways. We post our prepper giveaways throughout the year, so check back often to get your spot in the winner’s circle. Previous giveaway winners include:

Best Prepper Giveaways

Besides our own giveaways, we also list out the best prepper giveaways you’ll find online. These are all for supplies that’ll come in handy for your household kits, prepper projects, or other preparedness needs.

These are giveaways our team trusts and enters ourselves to get a leg up in our own preparedness.

Harvest Right Medium Freeze Dryer Giveaway (ends 2/10/26) – Harvest Right, the clear leader in freeze dryers from our review, is giving away their top-rated Medium size in a giveaway. If you opt to buy one, you can still enter the giveaway to be reimbursed if you win. Freeze-driers aren’t cheap, so it’s a good giveaway to shoot your shot with. The entry method is a simple one-time submission without any extra hoops to jump through.

The downside to these giveaways is the same as most- your contact info is usually used to send promotional emails or other solicitations your way. We don’t do that with our own giveaways, but the ones listed above do include getting on an email list. It’s easy enough to unsubscribe, and it won’t affect your chances of winning unless the email subscription is a part of the fine print.

Best Survival Giveaways

Some survival gear companies put up some great gear as giveaways every so often, so you’ll be able to find them here as we submit our own entries into them. They receive a lot more entries than prepping giveaways, because outdoor adventure and wilderness survival are more popular topics. This can lower your chances of winning, but it’s still fun to roll the dice.

BattlBox Giveaway (Monthly) – The best survival subscription box (according to our subscription box review) puts up free gear every month. They put up consistent giveaways to give you a chance at some of the gear they ship out for free.
Crate Club Giveaway (Monthly) – Another great survival subscription puts out giveaways (mostly knives) every month.

The monthly cycle is a nice touch, since there are multiple opportunities throughout the year for multiple winners.

The Final Word

Thanks again for stopping by to check out our survival gear giveaways. If you are looking for more deals and free stuff, be sure to check out our daily deals page and especially our guide on free prepper gear that covers a huge range of freebies.
