My wife works for a small national grocery chain, people she works with are expecting this to matter, especially in regards to corn.

Eagle is also known as SKD https://www.skdtac.com/Chest-Rig-s/202.htm Solid reputation as far as I'm aware. Eagle and SKD are unaffiliated. If the OP is really looking for just a chest rig, we could throw out brands for days, if OP is actually looking for something similar to the rapid assault (int...

Awesome write up and pictures. Those shots of the ice on the yurt window and the whiskey jack on the pulk are beautiful! Are you going to return your nuked Style back to Leatherman for a warranty replacement? That's part of what you're paying for with a Leatherman. I think my wife gets credit for t...

The surplus TAP (tactical assault panel) is somewhat similar, in that it has integrated mag pouches with a flat, MOLLE front. Very affordable last I checked.

The Esstac chest rigs are also fairly similar.

The_alias was nice enough to plan a thanksgiving weekend trip for us and our respective lady friends late last year, thought I'd post up some pictures and thoughts. https://i.imgur.com/ivGrUk7.jpg pulk sledding in remains my go-to for winter trips, I was able to leave my wife with nothing but a dayp...

If it is 500d cordura and YKK zippers as they claim I'd say it is a pretty solid step up from the bulk of Amazon tactical packs. Most of those use polyester fabric (much weaker then nylon), a cheap vinyl coating that rapidly peels off (making for weak seams) and off brand zippers that fail often. It...

I was all set to use my tent stove as a ghetto insert in my fireplace, but from past experience if I didn't keep the stove going all night (and my small tent stove would require more wood every hour or two) I'd probably end off worse then without from all the cold air coming down the flue.

As an addition tape a heap of those cheap car shade things on your windows. To increase heat? I thought they kept heat out? Or maybe we are thinking of different things? They reflect radiant heat and provide a tiny amount of insulation. If the radiant heat is coming from inside, then it will reflec...

I looked into propane as a backup heatsource but decided on kerosene instead. I probably should have done more math on it, but it seemed simpler and a typical kerosene heater claims 8-12 hours between fillups while a buddy heater on 1lb cylinders was much less if I recall. Certainly going to larger ...

So lately I've been thinking about making them one and the same.

What about this fella: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Uriah-Produ ... /206160584

That Opus looks pretty good, I'd love to add a 4-cell charger to my infrastructure. keep us posted on how it is. Little update: More storacells on the way, added a second O-lite charger for my EDC and been plotting an Ikea trip to double or triple my rechargeable AA stockpile, turns out they want to...

I busted out my smaller knock off woodgas stove (thrift store find) the other day, lots of potential but I need more practice, it was easier to smother then I thought but still easy to revive with a few puffs. I have larger Solo stove (maybe the same as OP's?) but it was also bought second hand and ...

Welcome from Boulder!

I remember loving it on first watch, then forcing my friends to watch it. I was not allowed to pick a movie for awhile after that. I had a similar experience when I made my friends watch 'The Big Lebowski' . That's when I realized I needed new friends. :lol: My wife has taken away my movie picking ...

the few vortex optics I have used have massively underwhelmed me on optical clarity and light transmission, mostly they were just a lot less bright and clear then other scopes. If the warranty is the first thing people mention when lauding a product, I take that as a bad sign. Supposedly the higher ...

https://i.postimg.cc/xdbhxn1k/De-Walt-DW625-E-Router-Table.jpg The technical drawing which I work from https://i.postimg.cc/mZnJ7PwY/IMG-0060.jpg This is super rad, I love the router, might have to try that. I will keep beating the drum though, any cart with the load split between the wheel and the...

Having daily driven a few <100HP diesels, I can tell you its not all its cracked up to be. Also from the chart its supercharged, not turbo'd. Couldn't say if that is better or worse, but I'd be willing to find out; assume less lag but I'm told they do rob some HP as well. but if they had a wagon ver...

I've had a set of harbor freight wrenches and sockets in each car for quite a few years now. The sockets and wrenches have worked well enough, but I've broken two ratchets now that were pretty miserable to use even before they broke, so I would strongly recommend holding out for kobalt/husky at the ...

Thought I'd throw up an overview of my current kit, which has only recently become something very useful, to keep my small portable electronics powered. My power needs for this arbitrarily defined catagory as I can list them off the top of my head are as follows: 1) personal lighting (flashlight, he...

transportation is my priority this coming year. I'm working on getting a receiver hitch installed on my vehicle, and then building a way to haul spare fuel and a full sized spare tire off the hitch. A few more tools and safety measures for my vehicles, like fire extinguishers and better recovery gea...

In one of the videos there is a man carrying a large piece of rolled up carpet. Is this a barb-wire crossing device or something else?

Super thread necro for some updates: 1) the sawyer mini is NOT up to task in silty environments. I've mentioned this in other threads, but on one particular trip I went with a mini and my boss went with a squeeze. Pulling water from the same source at the exact same time we found the performance dif...

I'd be very curious how much better the SOL poncho is then a traditional one for this purpose, I'd have to assume a LOT better but I don't know.
