As the final hours of the year tick away, we wanted to take a moment to say a massive thank you to every single UKSN member. Whether you joined us this year or have been part of the community for a long time, you have helped make UKSN what it is today.

At UKSN, we know that every penny saved can be put towards better kit, emergency gear, or that next big adventure. So, here’s how to make the most of Amazon Black Friday and find the best deals without getting caught up in the chaos.

Let’s face it, the great outdoors can be priceless, but the gear we use to explore it often isn’t. Whether you’re kitting out for a weekend camp, upgrading your bushcraft tools, or stocking up on supplies for self-sufficiency, costs can quickly add up. The good news? Being part of UKSN doesn’t just connect you with an incredible community of like-minded adventurers – it also unlocks a treasure chest of money-saving opportunities.

From communication and entertainment to banking and shopping, the internet plays a crucial role in almost every aspect of daily life.

To help us keep UKSN running smoothly and continue building helpful content and tools for members across the UK, we’re giving away an incredibly innovative EcoFlow Power Hat (L–XL) to one lucky supporter.

Prepping often conjures dramatic images of doomsday bunkers and lone survivalists. But within UKSN, prepping is something far more grounded: a blend of practical skills, self-sufficiency, outdoor adventure, and supportive community. With over 3,000 members across the UK, UKSN helps people of all ages and backgrounds embrace a more prepared and resilient lifestyle.

If you’ve ever wanted to swap the daily grind for something simpler, something real, then a UKSN Social Camp could be exactly what you're looking for. With over 3,000 members across the country, UKSN is one of the UK’s most welcoming communities for those interested in camping, bushcraft, prepping, and self-sufficiency – and the social camps are where everything comes together.

In an era where digital connections often overshadow real-world experiences, UKSN stands as a beacon for those yearning to reconnect with nature, acquire essential survival skills, and become part of a supportive, like-minded community. With over 3,000 members across the UK, UKSN offers more than just outdoor adventures; it provides a lifestyle rooted in self-sufficiency, resilience, and mutual support.
