It’s National Preparedness Month. Here are some deals to get you ready

The U.S. government has officially marked September as National Preparedness Month, and given the current global situation and the upcoming potentially tumultuous presidential election, there's no better time to get ready. Ready.gov has divided this month into four action-packed weeks, each with its own theme: - **Week 1: Plan Ahead** Create a detailed emergency plan that includes shelter arrangements, communication strategies, ways to stay informed about emergencies, and evacuation routes if needed. - **Week 2: Assemble Your Kit** Stock up on essentials like food, water, tools, batteries, and anything else you might need. This is also a great opportunity to review your go-bag and ensure it’s fully equipped. - **Week 3: Disaster Preparedness** Understand the types of disasters common to your area, check your insurance coverage, and think about ways to fortify your home against potential threats. - **Week 4: Educate the Youth** Share your knowledge with younger generations—teach them how to stay safe during emergencies, whether it’s knowing what to do if they're separated from you or learning basic survival skills.

Here are some of our favorites: ### Go-Bags on Sale At *The Prepared*, we’re big fans of the 55-liter 5.11 RUSH72, one of the top picks in our survival backpack guide. Normally priced at around $180, it’s currently available for $99.49. Other 5.11 options like the 29-liter All Hazards Prime and the 40-liter AMP72 are discounted from $199.99 to $159.99. Meanwhile, REI is offering 25% off on popular Osprey models like the Farpoint 55 and the Aether AG 60. If your budget is tight, LA Police Gear has some great deals, including the Atlas 24, now $59.99 instead of $129.99, and the Atlas 72, which is now out of stock but was reduced to $69.99 from $169.99. Use the coupon code LDAY15 for an extra 15% off. ### Essential Tools A reliable headlamp is a must-have in any bug-out bag. Jon Stokes swears by the BioLite HeadLamp 200, which combines durability and functionality. Usually $44.95, it’s now on sale for $35.96. No coupon needed—it’s automatically discounted. BioLite also has a fantastic deal on their CampStove 2 bundle. Normally $259.95, it’s now just $183.96, saving you over 40%. This stove runs on wood, pellets, or sticks, and not only does it cook food and boil water, but it also generates enough electricity to charge your devices! ### Ham Radio Deals In times of crisis, communication is king. For example, in Jon Stokes’s hometown, Hurricane Laura destroyed many cell towers, making external communication nearly impossible. While you’ll need a license to operate one, a high-frequency ham radio can connect you globally. I’ve held my General license since June, and I took advantage of a couple of Labor Day sales to finally set up mine. Connect Systems, Inc. is selling the Xiegu G90 for $425 with free shipping. Typically priced around $450, it’s a steal. The Xiegu G90 is praised for its powerful 20-watt output, low power consumption, and built-in antenna tuner. Ham radio expert Josh Nass recently demonstrated building an EMP-proof trash can ham radio kit using the G90 as a key component. If you're serious about getting into ham radio, consider purchasing the bundle that includes the G90, a cooling fan stand, and the CE-19 digital interface for $499 with free shipping. The CE-19 allows you to connect the radio to your computer for digital communication, which is more reliable than voice. There are numerous digital preparedness nets, such as the AmRRON Intelligence Brief, which broadcasts weekly. Remember, digital modes generate heat, so the cooling fan stand is crucial. The CE-19 requires some soldering, so make sure you’re comfortable with that before buying. To connect your setup, you’ll also need an antenna and coax cable. GigaParts is offering a deal on the Chameleon EMCOMM III Portable antenna, which weighs only 1.5 pounds and works across the 10- to 160-meter bands. Adding the antenna to your cart along with the ABR RG8X coax cable (using code TAYW) gives you a significant discount. Regularly priced at around $140 for the antenna and $40-50 for the coax, you’re essentially getting it for half price. [Image description: A man holding a Chameleon EMCOMM III antenna in a forest setting.] Don’t forget that your radio needs a power source. The G90 runs efficiently on a battery like the Bioenno 9Ah LFP, which is designed specifically for ham radio and features built-in Anderson PowerPoles, ensuring compatibility with the fan stand. It can also be charged via solar panels. ### Missing Out? Have you found any other awesome Labor Day deals for preppers? Let us know in the comments!
