U.S. Army Buys These Survival Items in Bulk — All under $15 at Walmart

Your truck breaks down on a two-lane in January. Your phone is at four percent. The next town is eleven miles, and the person in the passenger seat is not in good shape. Everything on this list is under fifteen dollars at Walmart, and every item on it has an Army NSN — a stock number meaning the military has been requisitioning them by the pallet for decades. These aren't items that look military. They are military. Number one is something that's been on every maintenance sergeant's requisition list since the Cold War.
