I do find it ironic that the Antifa would be against more civil rights and support guns for the police and military only. It's about as hypocritical as it gets. A small point perhaps, but worth mentioning as it has security implications: Do not conflate the far left in general with Antifa. While th...

The TA33 ACOG (compact x3) seems to go for around $750 on a consistent basis on eBay. I bought one for that amount back in 2012 and just watched one go for that exact amount last week. The TA33 is a fantastic optic in that the eye box is forgiving, the optical clarity is second to none, and the illu...

I do get a kick out of the folks who naysay at the idea, then immediately show their lack of experience and knowledge about the subject. Not saying I see that much here, but some forums have threads that start out as "I suck at cycling, so it must be stupid!" Bikes come up pretty often on the prepa...

I don't keep as much cash on hand as I'd like (mostly because craigslist deals keep knocking it back down) but I try to set aside some cash every paycheck. I haven't yet with cash, but with most all my preps I'm trying to diversify between my apartment and my detached garage, so that in the event on...

Ha! that is a metric crap ton to be sure and pretty tempting, thanks!

https://i.imgur.com/aWY4dvo.jpg Found an extrawheel trailer at the local used sporting goods store. The included axle adaptor didn't fit my bike so I threw it on the wife's bike for testing. Pretty impressed so far, far less versatile then a flatbed trailer like a BOB but much lighter, more compact...

I did a lot of research awhile back, things have probably changed a bit since then. I really wanted to like the Leupold deltapoint pro for its very clear glass and top opening battery compartment, but I heard far to many "had to send it back for work" stories for me to trust it. While I'm not blown ...

I would strongly recommend neither. They both use very cheap sub-par materials that will likely fail in short order. The off-brand zippers are usually the first thing to go, but the fabric coatings tend to crack and fail quickly as well leaving poor seam integrity. The cheap buckles are also a vulne...

not much point in selling them given the low cost and effort to build them, and there is an issue with consistently sourcing parts as thrift stores are the main way to keep costs down. I'd rather people just build them themselves. about two years ago I upgraded to a Juki 1541, which has really expan...

If you read further on the build thread there are several tests in different terrain and weights. the two full fuel cans+cart weight was right around 100lbs and was beyond easy on flat paved ground. At the low speeds involved I think you could push the safety margins of all the bike parts involved s...

https://www.zombiehunters.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=119275 https://www.zombiehunters.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=119152 Two threads with some pertinent discussion. I personally do NOT support Honey Badger as they simply ripped off an existing design from Pack Wheel and put more resources into SEO and...

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 ...
