10 Prepper Buys for Black Friday and Cyber Sunday

If you must buy during Black Friday and Cyber Monday (personally I don't think anyone needs to fight through massive crowds to buy anything, I'd rather pay a little extra to avoid being trampled), consider buying items that will be useful during a disaster such as...

1. USB drives and micro SD cards (to back up all of your data/photos/videos).
2. A bicycle (to use both for exercise and as a bug out vehicle alternative).
3. A home security system (everything from a Ring doorbell camera to a complete system).
4. An upgraded cell phone (some of these can replace everything from your camera to your tablet or even laptop depending on how you use it).
5. A generator (for power outages during winter storms).
6. Firearms (always a great gift, for yourself or others, during the holidays).
7. A dog (shelters often hold sales to clear out their animals around this time of year; they make a great companion and a good first alert to ward off burglars).
8. Outdoor gear (from tents and sleeping bags to backpacks and binoculars, sale outdoor gear is a great addition to your emergency gear).
9. A fitness tracker (if it will inspire you/your giftee to get on an exercise program).
10. Outdoor clothing (down jackets, rain shells, log underwear, wool socks...this is a great opportunity to buy high end gear for low prices).
