Free Survival GearA lot of people are looking for free survival gear. You can take advantage of these offers as long as you shop around a little. [wc_box color="primary" text_align="left" margin_top="" margin_bottom="" class=""] I did the homework so you don't have to! Look under each offer to see if it's worth it or not. [/wc_box] You can find free survival gear from quite a few companies that make more expensive gear. One of the latest marketing techniques that survival companies are using is to give away a free item with the hopes that the person who takes advantage of the free offer will become a long-term customer. Most of the offers below are structured in a similar way. The price you pay covers the shipping for a piece of gear or training and the company hopes that you'll be impressed enough to continue to buy from them. Some of these offers are decent, and some of them just aren't worth it. I'll tell you which is which. [wc_toggle title="Table of Contents" padding="" border_width="" class="" layout="box"] [/wc_toggle] [wc_box color="primary" text_align="left" margin_top="" margin_bottom="" class=""] Normally the company asks that the customer pays for the shipping costs. These usually run somewhere between $3 and $6 and basically covers the actual cost of the item. [/wc_box] I'll keep adding offers as I find them and get a chance to test them out. Free Survival Kits
