In this video I share some great value items that you can purchase at the Dollar Store to put in your BOB or Survival Kit!

Not bad, of course my wife figured all of that out sometime back. I was surprised that you didn't add the fact that the Sanitizer gel could also be used as a fire starter as it's mostly alcohol. At one point our local dollar store sold 3 packs of 2 to a pack of name brand pain relievers like "Extra Strength Excedrin." Perfect ready-made packaging for 1st aid kits! You have to shop regularly however as their inventory changes from time to time! :1:

Your right about the sanitizer. I cruise by the store once or twice a month to see what new items are in stock.

I bought a month's worth of 5-hour candles at dollar tree.
