50 Prepping Items You Can Buy From The Thrift Shop
by AMY

here is a myth that prepping, and survival gear are too expensive for the average person to buy. It isn’t true. Thrift stores often carry vital implements for prepping at a reasonable price.

Gently used, and sometimes even new, these items will leave you feeling organized and ready for most situations, without much expense. This article contains some of my prepper discoveries from a local thrift store.

One must diligently search local thrift stores to find prepping items. However, if you have patience, it can really pay off.

Out of all these items, many survival experts agree that the most important ones are:

1. Proper clothing

2. The means to light a fire and the area around you to boil water and stay warm

3. A survival knife

4. Materials for shelter

Depending on your circumstances of course you do not need to stop with this shortlist. Keep hunting for your supplies so you will be prepared in all circumstances.

Lighting Options Ensure Survival Success

Experts recommend that you have at least three different methods for lighting.

#1. Headlamp – so you can always keep both hands free.50 Prepping Items You Can Buy From The Thrift Shop

#2. Matches in a small waterproof container – they will not get wet, and you will have a reliable way to start a fire.

#3. Flashlights are a must. Military flashlights with safety features are the best. Always have a supply of backup batteries.

#4. Candles serve as an additional source for lighting – even battery-operated ones are useful for home-based emergencies.
