Shocking? No, not really. I just saw a double pack of Coleman 16 oz propane cylinders which several years ago sold for $5.79 at Wallyworld and most recently was just under $7 – priced at $9.88. Nuts.

I recently had to reorder some supplies for the Tier 1 Minuteman IFAK and yup, prices have jumped. I have to adjust the price north of $40 and figured I’d throw it out there for the next couple of weeks I’ll keep the price at $36.99 here(I sell it elsewhere as well). I’ve got to look at everything and make sure I adjust prices based on these recent increases. I’ve always shipped free – and as of April 1st shipping has increased. No matter what I continue to work to keep prices as low as possible and the value high.

Several “survival tins” have been added to the store. I love the concept. Right now these small, compact tins consist of Fire Starting Kits, Waterproof Matches, Eyeglass Repair & Care, Emergency First Aid, Prepper’s Pharmacy, Emergency Coffee Survival Kit – and more coming. Many of these I’ve set up with an optional 2 pack for a much better price due to combined shipping. The idea behind these little kits is that they are very small and portable and contain items many fail to have around when they need them. The “Prepper’s Mini-Pharmacy” is the size of an Altoids tin and contains aspirin, ibuprofen, anti-diarrheal, antihistamine(Benadryl), antacid, and cold medicine. It will be added to the store shortly.
