Prime Day 2025: 8 Actually Worthwhile Deals for Preppers

By The Prepared
Prime Day Meme

Prime Day is in full swing— constant flashing banners, countdown timers, and thousands of “must-see deals” coming at you all at once.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone. It’s easy to get caught between feeling like you probably should be buying something… and realizing you don’t actually know what you need, what’s a good price, or what’s just noise.

That’s why we put this guide together. After hours of research, it turns out most of it really is just noise, but we dug through it all to surface a handful of deals we’d actually recommend. Gear that’s genuinely useful for emergency preparedness, from trusted brands, and priced well enough to say: “Yeah, this is worth considering.”

Some of these aren’t the craziest discounts or the lowest prices we’ve ever seen. But they’re slightly better than usual— and fair enough that we’d still recommend them, especially if they help you fill a real gap in your setup. And with tariff changes looming, these might be the best prices we’ll see for a while anyway.

No gimmicky survival kits. No flash deals with inflated list prices. No panic buying. Just thoughtful gear at decent prices— if it makes sense for where you’re at.

Deal #2
BaoFeng BF-F8HP | Dual Band Two Way Radio
Great entry point into ham radio:

BaoFeng BF-F8HP | Dual Band Two Way Radio

The BF-F8HP is one of the most popular ham radios for beginners and for good reason. It’s an upgraded version of the well-known UV-5R, advertising 8 watts of output (versus 5W), a higher-capacity battery, and a slightly stronger antenna. In real-world use, the power increase is modest, but the improved battery life and community support make this one of the most flexible starting points for radio preppers.

We cover this model and the broader landscape of survival communications in our full handheld ham radio guide, which explains why even an entry-level handheld like this can be a big step up from “emergency radios” that can only listen, not transmit.

Very popular mask among workers that use them daily. Comfortable. Exhale valve deflects hot breath downward. Compatible with wide range of commonly found 'bayonet' filters. Three sizes.

SOG PowerPint Mini Compact Stainless Steel Multi-Tool

Deal #8
SOG PowerPint Mini
Solid backup or lightweight EDC multi-tool:

SOG PowerPint Mini

18 tools in a pocketable form — the PowerPint offers solid core functions like mini pliers, scissors, screwdrivers, and two knife blades (plain + serrated), alongside extras like a 1/4” magnetic hex bit holder. It’s small (3.2" closed) and weighs just 4.2 oz, but SOG’s compound leverage system doubles the gripping force, helping it punch above its size for cutting, crimping, and tightening tasks.

You won’t get the same ergonomics or redundancy you’d find in something like a full-size Leatherman Wave+, but this is one of the few compact multi-tools that still feels capable as more than a keychain gadget.

Usual price: $35.80
Lowest tracked price: $34.46
⭐ Current deal: $33.87
