SHTF Survival is a monthly subscription service dedicated to helping you survive when Sh!t Hits The Fan (just in case you were wondering what SHTF stands for).
Their monthly boxes are filled with camping and survival gear from top outdoor brands and some relatively unknown manufacturers. With three subscription levels to choose from, you can control how much you spend based on how much gear you need… or how strong your survival gear addiction is.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the subscription levels:
- Primary - 5-7 premium survival items a month for $19.99
- Pro - All the items in the premium box plus 2-3 higher priced items for $49.99
- Elite - All the items in the Primary and Pro boxes plus 2-3 top tier survival items for $89.99
Of all the survival boxes reviewed, SHTF Survival offers the most practical gear. Meaning you’ll be able to put more equipment to use and get a much better bang for your buck.
Typical SHTF boxes include prepper staples like:
- Fire Starters,
- Hydration Equipment,
- First Aid Supplies,
- Hard-Use Tools (hatchets, saws, trowels, etc.)
- Paracord,
- Tactical Accessories
- Miscellaneous Survival Gear (dry bags, emergency bivvies, etc.)
