J.J. Abrams. World War II. Nefarious Nazi experiments. I won't use the "z" word; you can judge that for yourself. But this looks f*cking awesome.

Another Prime Day deal: Coleman Classic 2 burner propane stove $26.40 after 20% discount off $32.99 (applied at checkout). Valid for only a few more hours, I suspect. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005OU9D/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?tag=slicinc-20&ascsubtag=8ff0a6968a2311e8a7de32fabf77f97d0INT&smid...

(*I originally posted this in the other weapons forum. But it's really applicable to bugging out and how to set yourself up to survive with your own bug out or inch blade. I've never wanted to use a machete. But this has changed my mind. I'm hoping posting in this more active section we'll get more...

That does seem like a bargain. He seems to be developing quite a following on Etsy. Folks who might be interested in this should jump on this soon; his prices might not stay this low for long.

OP, your experience is not out of the ordinary. I've done something very similar myself; it's part of becoming more sophisticated about prepping. As Raptor observes, canned and bulk packaged food are much better, more economical choices for long term prepping. However, there can be a place for MREs ...

One thing that's always struck me about these various survival kits (USN certified or otherwise) is how many do not come packed in a food grade metal container that can be used to cook food or at least boil water. For kits that come in some sort of soft plastic or fabric pouch, it's going to take up...

What this means? It's not too hard to be ahead of the bell curve compared to the majority of the population.

That is, if you look at survival through a statistical perspective.

Huge thanks for all the behind-the-scenes work. I don't really care what the hell the forums look like onscreen as long as I got ma' ZS back!

Welcome to the forums. I second woodghost's suspicion that you'll feel right at home here.

The firm began with US military funding and has gained attention with YouTube videos of its experimental robots that resemble animal predators I always liked the Portal Guardian Shardik in the Dark Tower. A 40' tall cyborg bear guardian would be something to behold. Some of the scientists building ...

That's a fricking amazing resource, moab. :clap: I wish the forum administrator would re-enable the 'like' button because your post is definitely deserving. You're just going to settle for an old fashioned thank you. Those recipes are really inspiring me to go out, buy some bulk dried and dehydrated...

No one's giving your question any love, so I'll chime in. I have the LL Bean Vector XL 4 https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/85975?page=vector-xl-4-person-tent . It's not sexy, it doesn't have many extra features like built in lighting or pass through extension cord ports, it's not made of exotic materi...

Is a Mora out of the question? https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0123/3642/products/Out-of-Left-Field_1024x1024.jpg?v=1358457726 Just checking :D And a Mora fits all the listed requirements, is lighter, and cheaper than those listed ;) It was a post made in jest. Hope you took it that way. I own tw...

Gerber Bear Grylls Ultimate Knife, Serrated Edge $26.99 . Not bad for maybe a vehicle bag. Where you don't want to hurt cause it gets ripped off. Not a bad way of pitching the value proposition of this knife. I own one, an early purchase before I became more sophisticated about knives. The steel is...

Being an incorrigible gadget freak, I have just about everything. A Frontier straw in my minimalist kit, a Life Straw in my motorcycle get home bag, a Sawyer Mini in my car get home bag, and the inaccurately named Katadyn Pocket filter for my shelter in/vehicular bug out kit. And some Aquatab water...

Welcome to Zombie Squad.

I saw that too. My gut tells me there's something to this, and it IS connected to what consulate staff experienced in Cuba. I was struggling to connect the two locations and the odds that nefarious equipment could be smuggled into both of those countries, or that those particular governments could a...

Sell off/scrap the first 2 candidate vehicles to free up some driveway space/raise a little capital/get back on wifey's good side. Can you retrofit that cowkiller grill to this new rig? We want to see some pictures of your converted ambulance with a new paint scheme, some big ass comm gear and maybe...

Yeah, I give OP a lot of credit for thinking this through to the level he has. 1 gal/person/day is indeed the general standard for water prep planning. Michaeltoan is proposing that for that first week, hydration needs can be adequately addressed with only one half that amount while existing drinks ...

It's threads like these that keep me coming back.

I think the rapidity with which this thread has become emotional is a pretty strong indicator of its underlying nature and where it's headed. I'm at work at the moment, but will view the video this evening. Because the subject matter does interest me. I plan on drawing my own conclusions and then ke...
