There’s something uniquely satisfying about finding quality outdoor gear at a bargain price, and for many of us in the UKSN community, the Amazon Prime Sale is one of the best times of year to do just that. Whether you’re an experienced bushcrafter, a weekend camper or just getting started with self-sufficiency and prepping, this annual sale running between 8th-11th June can be a goldmine for kitting out your rucksack without emptying your wallet.
UKSN has long championed the idea that good kit doesn’t have to break the bank. But not everything in the Prime Sale is worth adding to your basket. Knowing what to look for can make the difference between picking up a hidden gem or wasting your hard-earned money on shiny gimmicks that won’t last one night in the field.
So, we’ve pulled together this detailed guide to help you navigate the offers with confidence. Based on our most recent Outdoor Survival Gear Guide – Top Picks for 2025, this article will highlight essential bits of kit to look for, why they matter, and what makes a good deal. From robust tents to compact stoves and rugged multi-tools, here’s what you should keep an eye out for in this year’s Amazon Prime Sale.
Why Shop the Amazon Prime Sale for Outdoor Gear?
The Prime Sale often includes deep discounts on big-brand outdoor equipment, making it an ideal opportunity to upgrade your kit for the year ahead. With summer in full swing and the British weather as unpredictable as ever, there’s always a new piece of gear that can make your next camping trip or bushcraft weekend smoother and safer.
Plus, Amazon’s fast delivery is handy if you’re itching to try out your new kit at the next UKSN Charter meet or wild camping trip. Just remember, the best bargains tend to sell out quickly, so knowing what you want in advance is key.
Tents and Shelters: Look for Durable, Lightweight Options
A reliable shelter is the backbone of any outdoor adventure. If you’re camping with family or heading out for solo trips, your tent needs to be sturdy, easy to pitch and capable of withstanding the great British drizzle.
Top Tip: During the Prime Sale, search for well-reviewed brands known for quality waterproofing and robust poles.
The OneTigris Jovian 3-Season Tent remains a firm favourite for couples and small families who want a tent that is lightweight, packs down small, and holds up well in unpredictable UK weather.
Also keep an eye out for tarps such as the DD Tarp XL and OneTigris Rocdomus Tent. A good tarp can double as a rain shelter, groundsheet or emergency cover, adding a layer of flexibility to your camping set-up without adding much weight to your pack.

Look for brands like Snugpak, Berghaus or Mammut, which balance packability with warmth and water resistance. Also, check for sleeping mats with decent insulation – an insulated mat can make all the difference when camping on damp ground.
