I prefer the ~24" sizes for the most part. My father had a 24" Collins for a while in the Army during WWII until an officer 'requisitioned' it since it was not authorized carry. He was never able to...

I have found Wise to be of lower quality than Mountain House, less flavorful, and the shelf-life they claim is not holding up to testing.
This applies to their LTS food supplies. I have no...
I do not have one, but I would if I could. I like the Utility series better. I believe one of these and one of the all wheel steer skid steers with attachments would be ideal for a homestead.
Just...
I play this fairly regularly with a couple of different prepper groups. It is a great learning tool for the people in the group, especially the leadership.
Of course, no one knows for sure exactly...
Good leather money belts
Just my opinion.
Have a few as well.
Just my opinion.
Several of my favorite Disaster/Prep/PAW fiction:
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
Damnation Alley by Roger Zelazny
Deathland series by James Axler
Doomsday Warrior series by Ryder Stacy

The size is the pack in the OP with a 4" x 10" water bottle pouch on each side and the poncho, liner, and sleeping pad roll strapped on top. ~40 pounds. The full EDC, including clothing is ~15...
Thank you! They have settled a bit. Got my truck going again after two and a half months of buses, asking for rides, and walking four blocks back and forth to the library or Starbucks to do internet....
Took a few liberties, but I really do think it will all fit. Much of the stuff is not all that big or heavy.
Considering the following EDC, part of which I always carry, and the rest when I am...
I have the tall non-insulated ones. Work great. Easy for me to get on and off even with my physical problems.
They are kind of big and clunky, so it takes a while to get used to walking in them.

When I had the PTR-91, If I was not wearing it, an FMCO 8-magazine vest. If I was wearing the vest, 9 magazines in a ditty bag. Another 180 rounds in 5-round stripper clips in a couple of different...
Japanese persimmons tend to be fairly large with only two or three per cluster. American persimmons are smaller and often with several in a cluster.
Just my opinion.
I love American Persimmons. We had several trees around the mini-homestead I lived on from age 5 to 14.
Japanese persimmons just do not hold a candle to the native American ones.
And, yes, my...
1. Helping warm up a person with hypothermia. Now this is entirely opposite the advice that has been given for the last couple of years by medical and survival experts. They say never, ever, give...
Lord, I do not know if the board has enough bandwidth to list all the things I have been told are highly unusual in my various kits, including a couple of BOBs.
The game cart probably started 30...
Corn masa for several things, especially tamales.
Parched corn
Pinole
Just my opinion.
Very much so. More flavor, easier to cook, and less likely to have contaminates.
Just my opinion.
Since I had to give up the PTR-91 and Remington 11-87 due to my health, I am down to just the Glock 21SF .45 ACP and Beretta Tomcat .32 ACP at the moment. I plan on picking up an Auto-Ordnance...
Depending on which version of the BOB, which is simply a catchall name I use for several of my various kits that are used for a variety of scenarios, I have a Mountain Hardwear Trango 3.1 Expedition...
Pick only the very early, small leaves while they are still a small plant. Just wash them well as with any greens grown low to the ground. Can use as fresh salad, cooked greens, and my favorite,...
Do not eat the berries, but poke salad is great. Ate a lot of it as I was growing up. I consider poke a good addition to a guerilla garden. I would not grow it in an area where younger children might...
These are the primary sharps I carry either on me or in my BOB.
EDC:
Gentleman’s SAK
Leatherman Micra multi-tool
Leatherman Crater C33 pocket knife
P-51 can opener
Res-Q-Me seatbelt...
If I can ever afford the Vigilance VR-1 .408 Cheytac, then I would engage up to 1,000 meters. But that would be when I was already well away from the BOL and had identified the target as being a...
