I think it’s kinda hard to give a blanket “buy from here” statement. Lots of the survival items we all want or have can be bought from so many places. Wal-Mart, K-mart, on-line from outdoor / survival suppliers, the local grocery store, department stores, home depot. The list is endless.

Better to make a list and then decide where to buy each item as no one place will have all of them.

I try to buy as much locally as I can and have had good luck finding a large amount of things I want locally. You may have to wait till summer to get many survival item as these things are also camping items and stores are prone to seasonal changes.

I also do a lot of making my own stuff or modifying an item to suit my needs.

But if needed (can’t get it locally) I will order it on-line.
