Zombie Squad

Cases and deaths are meaningless information when not placed in context of population. All reports are inflated because there are people who have it and carry/heal without testing. Death rate is misleading without knowing the deceased decade and prior health condition. Not saying this isn't a bad th...

By the way all! Greeting!!!! Been away for a while - but never stopped prepping. Meant to post this sooner, but distracted by patriot nurse. You know how that goes....

I will say, you guys TOTALLY called this thing.

Here in Tampa - Travel is AOK so far.

I expect we'll be going into further lock down though. But gas/drive throughs should remain open.

You could consider asking other parent to defer until drama over.

Here is my MAxped Pocket organizer.

I'm really a tiered kind of guy... Level 1 - Extra pantry stuff (Store what you eat...) and rotation Level 2 - Freeze dried (easy, light, convenient) Level 3 - Staples in buckets (rice, beans, etc... Plus - Some MRE's for good measure. They all have their place and purpose: Can't beat a rice bucket ...

I don't have a GHB/BOB. I have my main "bag" plus additional layers, depending on the situation. But usually: http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p76/Aceman_photos/Guns/Jumbo.jpg Containing More photos coming - Photbucket is spazzing at the moment... And my main survival pouch http://i125.photobucket...

And by the way - what is your favoriote bean? As in easiest to store/cook overall.

All great questions! How many people are you feeding? - 5 Do you expect to have refrigeration? - assume no Do you expect to be able to cook? - yes Do you have a daily calorie goal? - 1.5k Do you have a maximum weight goal per bucket? No weight, but basic 5 gal bucket. Do you have a maximum cost goal...

Great info guys! Again: #1 Only need to run the fridge some every day / every other day to keep cold. Don't need constant. #2 Lights and iCrap/computer, etc..is nice and doesn't take much really. #3 Ok - so the AC is out. Maybe fans is a better first step. I don't hink it would take much - but I'll ...

With the items you mentioned you can get by with a 1200w generator, under $200. I've had to use just this setup during the winter, both my wind turbines decided to take a gonzo just when the weather was turning bad. I want to get a good look at the 1200 watt generator that powers a fridge, TV, ligh...

So, you talking about a Bug-in-Bucket or a bucket holding 3 days rations (for the household rather then just one body) ? Is this aimed at personal use or to be gifted ? Bug In Bucket? Food storage bucket with like 3 days for the family (or however long a 5 gal bucket would go when cross loaded.) Pe...

What should I load it with? I'd like to make a couple "short term" buckets. Something I can pop and use the whole bucket in 72 hours instead of busting open an entire 30 lbs of rice, oatmeal etc... What do you suggest as a load? Rice, Beans, Oatmeal, sugar what??? I'd like to place multiple small ba...

Hurricane season is coming up. Thinking about a Generator Goals #1 Run a fridge #2 Some lights, computer TV, iCrap, etc... #3 Bonus points: AC #4 What about some backup batteries? I have no idea about any of this stuff. My deal on most is "When it's dark, sleep" and no one will freeze in Florida, an...

One of my primary rules: Having ANY gear - even if cheap, NOW, is way better than NOT having it when you need it because you were saving up for really good stuff. #1 Do you have water, food and meds stocked? If not - take care of that before a gun. 1 week of food gets you way farther than 100 rounds...

Actually, my main bag has a survival pouch, that is pretty formidable. Has the lighter/smaller versions of what is listed above.

I'm thinking a well packed MAxpedition Rhemora. The usual, just less of it: Serious knife, plus swiss army knife Soft water bladder, 1 L Filter straw, decontamination tabs TAc Flashlight Striker and Bic disposable Adventure Med kit first aid Paracord bracelet Multi-tool compass and maps some bars an...

And by the way - the vacation was not ruined. They were on their last day headed back!!!!

So they got a vacation AND a survival adventure. Bonus!!!!

First of all, I WOULD have my 'go' shoulder bag with me, which means enough paracord to rig a sling to wiz/dump in the ocean... And as for a night out on the gulf, I live in Tampa. So no issues there. Was probably a low 70. HAng on the deck and catch the breeze. Have a Mojito or two. The fact that p...

SHe will not be carrying survival crap in her Coach purse (large as it is...)

She needs something with a shoulder strap.

Strap on ALICE butt-pack...not a bad idea. But something more grey-man. Or woman, as the case may be.

SOme super-quick answers: #1 Just walk intro Dick's and ask how you do it. They will know the important (and legal) parts. #2 Before entering into this remember; You are talking about potentially taking another's life to save you/your family. Also, remember, the tool for this is equally capable of k...

My wife's company is moving, so she will be commuting during the week. I need to make a "bag" for her and I would like to keep it pretty low key. Contents will include: 1 H&K USP 9mm / 2-3 mags Some sort of 1l water container First Aid kit Knife, Fire maker, light, food, tools, etc... Basic Get Home...

Better approach: Go to sleep when it is dark.

That and one good LED light with a spare set of batteries. Done.

Once upon a time (in the old west...) this was maybe an issue. Today, not really. My HK USP is every bit as reliable as whatever revolver you want to throw its way - perhaps more so!. A Glock, S&W M&P, or Springfield XD at great price points are all so reliable I wouldn't worry an inch over it. I ag...
