I poked around and learned that IKEA bags are made from polypropylene and the Walmart tarps are polyethylene.

If I recall, you live in Alaska right? There should be plenty of older people there who used to sew their own clothes. Some of them may still be doing it. In other news, this photographer from Singapore made his own backpack out of one of those blue IKEA shopping bags. Here’s the link. https://rich...

I like it!

I hope it isn't crazy expensive

About $15 a yard. Of course then you need to sew it.

As a herp enthusiast I'm liking this Hexcam Wasteland pattern. https://nobleandblue.files.wordpress.com/2017/10/hexcam-patterns-alliedrisk-named-final.jpg?w=490 https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61-3ucKPNuL.jpg It looks like gecko (real lizard, not insurance pitchman) skin upclose.

For thirty dollars, just go for it. It is cotton twill, from the 1950s so it should hold the dye quite easily.

When I was kid spending summers in Honduras the campesinos would make similar sandals from car tires but used cordage or leather straps instead of inner tubes. They don't do it anymore because steel belted radials are nearly impossible to cut (as mentioned earlier) with a machete and the availabilit...

[*] Not to in any way, shape, or form, downplay the huge effect Dorian has/is had/having related to the Bahamas. but. I'm a little pissed off that I can't find a single news story excited about dodging some bullets on how it hit us here in the US. It's like a media void unless it's bad news. A lot o...

That said I totally disagree with Stercutus. I never regret fast food

Then you've never eaten at Checkers.

Thanks for asking. It looks like Congress is making the 2020 Defense Authorization Act their first priority. That said, these guys can be their own worst enemy, and the President has a proven record as a wild card. For those not versed in the tribal knowledge and mystic folklore of government, there...

A few years ago there was a fellow on here going to Liberia for a college class. He wanted to know how to hide his daypack. I suggested he visit the girls in his dorm and collect denim scraps from their cut off shorts projects and use some duct tape and burlap to wrap his pack. He said it worked too...

The ones that get me are the RHD vehicles. Who in the hell is gonna drive a right hand drive vehicle?!

Rural postal delivery survivors.

I think 8000 is pretty reasonable for that tricked out Montero.

The Australian Special Broadcasting Service did a nice 27 minute segment on this strategy, interviewing the Swedish Defense Minister, some preppers and members of the Swedish Homeguard. I was taken aback to learn that Sweden's defense forces has shrunk from a peak of 700,000 to the current level of ...

I've been in a few fires at sea, one really big one on USS MIDWAY that wiped out our entire first responders. Subsequent interview with divers who had recently sailed on the Concepcion affirmed that there were two exits from the sleeping deck to the main deck where the galley was located. To early t...

Last time I recall seeing any reporting on this, firearms and ammunition made up less than 1% of Walmart's revenue stream. The gesture may have no real policy impact but it is good optics. Now, 1% for Walmart might be equivalent to 20% for a small vendor, but Walmart will make it up in Instant Pot s...

This strikes me as a lot of wasted effort. This British bloke built a much bigger shed by just connecting the pallets together with deck screws then using other pallet wood to fill the gaps.

Here is his video

CNOC. The clip on opening makes for fast and easy filling.

CNOC?

It is on your original list CNOC Outdoors. Combined with HydroBlu Versa filter, they can't be beat.

Must be night of the living dead threads. This is a great source of modular home providers. https://modernprefabs.com/prefab-homes-designers/ I am also a big fan of SIPs.

A low budget dystopian HBO movie. It could have been called "When They Were Young" Made in 1993, it is an allegory of the AIDS crisis of the late 80's. Look for a young Cuba Gooding Jr. Omar Epps, Moira Kelly channelingJamie Gertz, SATC's Stanford Blatch with hair, Martha Plimpton and a bunch of act...

Thanks, I started watching it last weekend but decided sleep was more important after the roll over. I liked that is was filmed in Morrocco, I read in IMDB that the actor who played the zombie/mutant has Marfans disease giving him a unique spindly look. I might go back and fast forward just to see t...

Cars over 25 years old can be imported to the U.S. without crash test data, or emissions. Europe has heaps of relatively low mileage diesel SUVs like this 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser LJ73 with only 155,3342 miles for $3,100. Go to www.mobile.de pick the British flag from the pulldown menu and search to...

Mercedes Benz 240D. This explains why better than I ever could.
