http://www.fourseasonssurvival.com/, the Makers of Spark-Lite's and Tinder Quik also sell many other Survival items. They are strong supporters of ETS. http://www.campingsurvival.com/ Great people. I've ordered from both, and am 100% sure I will use them again.

Country Comm is always good....loads of small neat things. I'm addicted to County Comm, I want one of everything they have. I can vouch for Sierra Trading Post as well. One place I have just ordered from is basegear. Great prices and service, they ship quickly. I've put in 3 orders and no problems. http://www.basegear.com/Blitz +1 for basegear. Got a great deal on a Leatherman that arrived within a few days. Friendly note thanking me was in the packaging.

I wonder if this would be a good opportunity to make this thread a sticky topic and keep it towards the top of the list.
Maybe even creating a new thread with just urls?
I found this one thread has costed me more money then i care to admit to my wife!

No, thanks to you Red Flare. It seems the older "vintage" S.O.S. Kit by Victorinox differs from the new ones....judging by the pic on your website and contents.....would love to get a newer model and compare them side by side but alas, this move has got me quite broke and can't see doing it in the near future. BTW for disclaimer reasons, I am in no way affiliated with Red Flare, just damn impressed  -Bill Liptak

Can't believe nobody has ever used Sportsman's Guide. I have used them on multiple occasions with very positive results. Just placed an order for some more Trioxane tablets. I think one of my relatives is completely outfitted from there. He is constantly getting stuff. They have pretty good deals on surplus and brand name stuff to. I got a Mountinsmith pack from them last year for 29.00..no kidding. Ordered one for the whole family at that price.

It's been a while since I ordered from them. I may need to bring them back in the fold again. My garage is getting awful full these days.

My order from Ben's Backwoods just arrived. Very efficient service from Ben and I just have to post his locally made mini-firesteel. It is my favorite item that I ordered. I tossed it in at the end to make the free shipping amount ($100) but now I wish I had ordered a couple more.  This is the little fellow. Done is Spruce and gutted paracord. Real nice….
