I tend to frequent Thrift Stores a couple of times a week.
You never know what you'll find, and at a pretty good price. I did a search of this topic and found one hadn't been done. (If so I apologize).
I for one like to explore and "hunt" for stuff that others think is junk and I don't want to compete with the daily prep/today thread. I think Thrift Stores are a great way for folks both experienced as well as new to prepping get some great stuff at a great price and I think alot of people tend to overlook these potential goldmines of survival/prep stuff. Who knows, if this takes maybe this'll get "sticky" status.
Post your prep/gear finds below. The only request is that your post has to have been found at either a not for profit (Salvation Army, etc.) or private (for profit) Thrift Store.
Here are a few of my finds in the past few weeks:
1950's Era Coleman Gasoline Burner/Stove
$3.90
Alice Pack Frame with Woodland shoulder straps and kidney belt, and Medium Flying Top Bags black canvas bag/backpack that is ALICE convertable in like new condition.
$7.00 (I already had the tan butt pack, molle aircrew knife holder, molle grenade pouches, aircrew SDU-5 light and pouch, USGI flashlight and ALICE holder and an East German Rain Patterned Holster for my PPK/S).
I've also found an electric Makita Sawz-All in the old style metal case with new blades and in good condition for $10.00
Lets post those finds Preppers!
All my best,
