July 4th Survival Gear Sales

June 30, 2025

Independence Day sales are typically known for deals on grills, lawn equipment, coolers, and ways to stay cool through the summer, and all of those can relate to prepping and survival in some way. After checking out a slew of sales, we’ve rounded up the best gear for preppers to check out to augment their survival kits and preparedness plans.

July 4th lands on a Friday this year, but sales have already started, and a few run through the weekend for the most part. Like most roundups, we’ll keep updating as sales come and go throughout the period, so check back periodically to catch new deals.

Firearms, Accessories, & Ammo

It makes sense that out of all the holiday sales, firearms are front and center for the July 4th sales. All of the brands and vendors have been blowing up our email inboxes with sales to ‘let freedom ring’.

A few of the discounts support the hubbub, with some steep sales on a whole range of firearms, accessories, and ammunition.

Portable Grills and Stoves

Grills, stoves, and cookouts are always a mainstay of July 4th celebrations. They also come in handy when you need to cook without power or while you are on the move.

Coleman Matchlight 2-Burner Propane Stove – $59 (was $75) at Walmart

Having a backup cooking method is important for emergency preparedness, plus all of these work great at the campsite too.

Emergency Food

It’s mostly the on-the-go food that is on sale- backpacking meals that can double as emergency meals, either in mobile survival kits or as grab-and-go emergency options in your prepper pantry.

Medical & First Aid

Medical supplies are always useful for preppers, and first aid gear is essential for almost every type of survival kit. Picking up medical gear on sale can help you stretch your dollar, either saving money or being more prepared for a wider range of medical issues.

Lastly, Jase Medical (makers of the best prescription medicine kit) is having a short July 4th sale, and sales are always rare for them. Use code FREEDOM for 10% off sitewide and free shipping: Jase Medical Independence Sale.

Wilderness Survival Gear

People are getting outdoors for the summer, so there is plenty of gear overlapping with wilderness survival on sale. Wilderness survival targets the fundamental needs we need as humans to survive, often summarized with the Survival Rule of Threes.

Whether you’re using the gear for preparedness or outdoor recreation, using it often is key to getting the most from it and knowing how to use it when you need to survive.

5.11 is running an additional 40% off baked into their clearance pricing if you are looking for tactical clothes or lightweight backpacks: 5.11 July 4th Sale.

Lastly, Eberlestock is having a pretty solid sale with a 20% discount on everything, including the Apprentice, Jacknife, Halftrack, Fade Sling, and Bando Bag: Eberlestock July 4th Sale. Some of the sales even go all the way up to 60% off.

Safety & Security

Safety supplies are also important for your home, and a few are on sale. Fortifying your home and making it safe are high on the prepper priority list, so if you don’t have some of these supplies, it’s a good idea to pick them up while they are cheaper.

Fire Blanket 2-Pack – $9 (was $17)
First Alert Smoke Alarm – $15 (was $20)
Kiddie Home Fire Extinguisher – $28 (was $37)

Defending yourself and your home will always be a priority, so catching supplies on sale is nice even in the middle of summer.

The Final Word
