Handheld flashlight · Battery/power · First aid kit · Gas mask · Gas mask filter (40mm) · Radio · Satellite comms · Knife/tool · Footwear · Pack · Bag/case · Eye protection · Belt · Holster · Soft armor
These didn't fit this budget — the next tier up covers them.
A mask without a filter is a paperweight — they are two purchases, and the kit only counts when both are in it.

Potassium iodide
This kit calls for it and we don't list it yet, so we can't price it or point you at one.
Potassium iodide: FDA-approved potassium iodide tablets. See the FDA KI page.
Prices are catalog street-price estimates; high-ticket optics and night vision move the most — verify before you buy. "Where to buy" links are third-party searches, except where an item links to our own store (Gear Wizard Armory) — that's labeled on the item.
