Wood camping stove $49.95 and some other deals from my local surplus store. I think I saw that stove listed at $150 not long ago. Good deal imho. Also some other stuff at the link. It's their winter email campaign.
Major mea culpa here folks.
Seller was a complete scammer. USPS.com tracking reported item shipped and then was delivered to an unspecified address in another state. Made two attempts to contact seller with no response, have now requested a refund from Amazon. Judging from what I saw when I went to leave seller feedback (62 1 star reviews, all reporting the exact same experience, that negative feedback number is literally increasing by the hour), I'd say Amazon will make good on my and anyone else's refund request. (Update - make that: Amazon will DEFINITELY refund your money. When I submitted my claim was advised it would take up to 1 week to investigate. Received approved refund confirmation 24 minutes later.)
Apologies for posting a scam deal to the ZS community in general and to NT2C and anyone else who actually placed an order in particular. If you haven't already, put in your refund requests now.
ETA: Stercutus, at least you didn't miss out on a deal after all. Feel free to gloat, but maybe just through PM.

No worries. Amazon always makes good on stuff like this. I knew it was a scam when I saw the tracking number the scammer used. No way would that stuff be coming from China, but that was a Chinese tracking number. Just letting it play out on this end now. My delivery was supposed to be today and the mail has already been delivered so I'll file my claim either tonight or tomorrow.
Of course you can make a much better IFAK from scratch; but it'll cost you considerably more. Consider this a start towards a better kit. A serviceable zippered bag and some basic supplies to get you started. Plan on losing that silly compass, adding some larger bandages, OTC medications (analgesics, antihistamine, etc), maybe a tourniquet, trauma pads and anti-clotting agent to make a more capable kit.
For about the cost of a tissue thin Ozark Trails pack at Wally world, this is a 600 denier pack cloth bag in black, coyote or olive green. Hydration system compatable and has an adjustable shoulder harness to customize for torso length. No experience with this pack, but looks like a good buy for a budget bug out bag. One thing I can't determine is if it comes with an internal frame or not.
Can't find much info; here's a review by a guy who can't decide if he's showing off the pack or what he likes to carry in it. FWIW.

If I remember correctly we've had a few people on here buy these. And speak quite highly of them. I think there's a thread about them on here someplace.

I bought one when they first came out, which I...er...still haven't actually used, but I did a quickie review in the bugout gear forum. Short form: it could be better, for the money I think it's a really good pack.
I can probably dredge up the no-longer-linked pictures if you want; post in that thread if so, so we don't (further) muck up this one.

I was going to jump on it, but I am so done w/top-loading bags.
Pricing is for the black color option only. The sandstone (Coyote) is the more typical $49.99. Per three helpful dromedaries I know, $49.99 is pretty much the average price; it's been as high as $54.99 and has never been lower than $36.33. https://camelcamelcamel.com/5-11-Tactic ... B008XOA3MU
Apparently a good way to securely attach your rifle, shotgun, AR, etc to your pack for ease of carry. This product caught my eye because it reminded me of a discussion some of us have been having in the tent heater thread. I wonder if this could be adapted to carry a rifle on a bicycle or a motorcycle? Here's a YT review.
Excuse me but after missing out on the 5.11 Rush Tier rifle sleeve, I ordered first and am now posting for my ZS brothers and sisters.
Regular price at Ravpower website is $55.99. Currently $48.99 on Amazon where it gets a 4.3/5.0 average user rating after 1,633 reviews. I bit on this as a replacement to my venerable ReStore RA4 folding 14w panel, which is slightly larger, weighs twice as much and uses less efficient solar cells.

Ordered one but I see it's shipping from China, so I'm 90% convinced it's a scam.
It shows next day delivery now. So I'm not sure how it's coming from China. It's also being sold by Morakniv directly.
Mine wasn't (and yes, I used the link you posted). Here's mine:
So far there seems to be an actual package in transit (different from the last scam that showed a tracking number that nothing ever moved on) but I'm betting it's going to be either a knock-off or counterfeit. (In which case I'll report it to both Amazon and Morakniv)
That link I posted goes to the Morakniv listing. Seems like an elaborate scam to change the Morakniv listing on Amazon. It's hard enough to get anything listed on Amazon. Would seem very hard to get it to switch between suppliers(?!).
I got the link from a post on BushcraftUSA. And many are now wary of the sale too. I guess beware. But this is on another level. Where you can change the seller of a listing at the same url?! that's really weird.
I've never had a problem on Amazon. Hope you will all forgive me. I post a lot of stuff in this section. My apologies if it doesn't work out. But I guess you can always get a refund on your card.

No worries. As you say, Amazon is good with refunds.
As for changing the supplier, Amazon does that itself, automatically. You have to be really careful and look below the "Add to cart" and "Buy it now" buttons to see who it's actually sold by and who it ships from. It can even change while you're reading the page.

No worries, Moab. I had a mea culpa the other week with the Mountain House/Wise Foods deal I posted that turned out to be too good to be true. You didn't post with ill intent and therefore were as much a victim of this scam as anyone else. At least with Amazon, they're quite diligent about refunds. And ultimately, it's caveat emptor.
Yeah y'all, I appreciate the deals you all have been posting. I appreciate the time and thought that is put into this thread.
