This isn't really prepping related. Unless I somehow run my emergency radio signals thru my Jeeps stereo. Anyway. I have a nice Kenwood single din - removable faceplate stereo. But old paper stock speakers. On the freeway I can't really hear lyrics. As the sound is just terrible. So for Christmas I ...

Lastly, I can read a thread a lot faster than I can watch a long ass video. I'll watch if they are the only game in town. But I'd much rather read a well vetted thread on any given subject on a forum. As I can glean the information I want quickly. And don't have to sit thru a given length video to ...

I have an Olight I3S EOS on my keychain. I keep it as a backup to my main light (ZebraLight SC600 Mk IV), in case the battery died or I lost it. Sort of a two is one, one is none sort of thing. Not a fan of the light on my phone because it takes too long to get it out and use it. Gotta get the phon...

Actually I just remembered. My favorite person that lives in his car is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEvmEOdSpIQ He lives in his Jeep Wrangler CJ7. Talk about a tight fit. But he's transitioning into an older Wagoneer now. He took the front passenger seat out of his Jeep. And used an aluminum cot ...

While this is a well know bit from SNL (youtube.com/watch?v=Xv2VIEY9-A8) it is, in reality, a choice many make today as a way of life. In high cost areas, most notably the bay area, it is the only way many can afford to live. and work locally. My own niece lived in a van for months with her SO in t...

I find your post to be very well thought out and honest. Good on you for bringing it here. :) I've learned some from https://shtfschool.com/ The biggest thing being I don't want to remain in a city. The author lived thru hell in Bosnia. And his biggest regret was not getting out early to the country...

I've watched a few of those recently. This one is good as a lifestyle video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNWaFxIVbQM I don't know why. Maybe it's cause I miss the north cascades so much. But I could watch videos like this for hours. lol. It's a guy camping in a snow storm in his van way up in th...

I believe the style or model was called the "Big Timber II". It's one of the construction or work boots the brand makes. Thanks, I'll have to look at them when I'm ready for a new pair of boots. Just be sure to get boots that actually FIT. And be sure to put them thru their paces before having to d...

The difference for me between forums and youtube is the comments. On a forum you can see things get vetted. Opinions and recommendations. And you can tie those to members with high post counts. That lead to some legitimacy to the post. Not to mention asshats get bumped from forums. Not the case with...

Moab said: I was also wondering what would happen if we messaged and invited back members that were heavy contributors in the past. I know several people that I would love to have back on here. That I haven't seen in years. I dunno. I'm of the opinion that we just let things organically ebb and flo...

bump for fun and any new folks not having gone thru the history files. Photobucket really f'd the internet up. Does anyone know their story? Just curious. Great thread. Would love to see your pics if you still have them. Since this site doesn't host photos... I do have posted stuff over at BCUSA, w...

Does anybody really need a keychain light? I was thinking about this the other day. I was always bringing my 18650 Fenix PD35 with me. To search around inside my rental cars for things I might have left. But then I had a temporary failure. Which I fixed - user error. But while down I started using m...

I see this Users browsing this forum: lowjohn19, TacAir and 10 guests on a Sunday AM. I'm now going back and bumping older threads that have solid prepping data - mining old threads may be one way to increase visitors/new members as the 'bots tend to ignore older posts for some reason.... That's a ...

another bump for history for newer members. This is an excellent thread. If you could update your first post with your current system. That would be great. IIRC it's evolved over time. This thread is an excellent read. I'll be referring back to it myself often. The only thing I do differently is to...

I have to ask. Who's 10/22 is that? And what did they do the stock? I get the weight savings in the buttstock. But what is that up front? thats mine, its all weight savings. Plus it fits my bike-scabbard better with a shorter forend: https://i.imgur.com/0CNY8jn.jpg I just chopped the forened down a...

He corked it. Like an illegal baseball bat.

LMAO!!! At least he's not stealing signs. (Or whatever you call them in baseball! lol.)

I had a fair collection of Danners. Since their $20 referral program back in the day. I bought a bunch of boots for myself and family. But most were unpractical. And I sold them. Or they were boots that were already replicated in my small collection. I had a pair of $300 Danner USAF boots. But now I...

Interesting looking tent! It reminds me of a canvas tent my Boy Scout Troop used back in the sixties,but with no stove. Is that something you made? The stove and tents are made by Seek Outside, the tent is their "courthouse" model, which was partially based off of an old canvas range tent but adapt...

I know posts can be saved as PDF's. But I don't know how to do it.

It is amazing how much a complete stranger can affect your life so much. He will be missed.
