It actually includes a footprint. But excellent advice! I have always used a big tarp folded under.

Yeah, I was happy to find one reasonably priced, and the seller was willing to deal on the price. Definitely looking forward to getting out with it!

Found and purchased an unused Kelty Trail Ridge 4 on Ebay for $154 shipped last week.

Thanks for the review! Haven't put much thought into something like this, but it's good to hear some firsthand experiences.

I just got this generic bicycling rain jacket from Amazon. It seems relatively sturdy and a reasonable fit. I'm 6'2" and ~230 and i have some extra space. The arms are elasticized and the bottom and hood have cinches. Since it's not a full zip, bigger folks may have an issue getting arms into it and...

Looking for an axe. Or two. Purposes: Felling trees and processing firewood. I'm thinking I'm good with getting an orphaned head or just an older (hopefully quality) axe. Or I could go new. I would like, in no particular order, a full-sized, 36" axe with a 3.5-4# head and a forest-type, 20-26" handl...

Disclaimer: I don't really use rain jackets, so I have only limited firsthand experience. But this link (https://www.switchbacktravel.com/best-rain-jackets) has evaluations for what you seem to be looking for, and every single brand is well known and has a good reputation in various backpacking, cam...

So the tent I have is the Alps Mountaineering Taurus 4 tent (also, I believe, sold as the REI Orion, though I may have just kept the sleeve from an old tent with that name on it), which I have set up for the first time in probably eight years. This model has a full rain fly--or at least long enough ...

So...you're saying you don't like the two penises squeezing a tick in Spike's normal logo?

Resurrecting this thread for the latter part of 2018. Would love to see more suggestions added!

Because it's one of the absolute best threads ZS has to offer:
The Defensive Shotgun: How We Make It Work

Ah, good point. Looks like I'll be saving ~$300 for a future purchase.

Thanks, all! Feel free to add any additional suggestions or ideas. The information is greatly appreciated.

I dunno if these count as bug out gear, but I bought my first pair of Propper boots. Selected the waterproof Model 100 in Coyote. First fit seems accurate, so that's always good. I've found that my size varies sometimes as much as an entire size up depending on the brand and design, so I'm glad I hi...

Beowolf, with my lapsed membership my two numbers (325 and 326 IIRC) were probably reassigned. I'm currently intending to rectify the membership issue whenever the ZS Store reopens and would be looking to transfer the 326 number (if it was still assigned to me) to the Jeep we have now. The up side-...

So, follow up question--if I'm gonna drop the money on a three season, should I just push to the four season?

An Expedition Research bushcraft grill.

Nice! I got one of those a few months ago. Haven't yet had a chance to test it.

As I'm sure it was one of you dirty, rotten, filthy enablers who posted that the machete was back on sale on Amazon.

It will be here tomorrow.

I have knives for knife things. Purposes of the items in question would be for hacking and chopping. Not really a question of "If" I had both. Like I said, I've already got the tomahawk and a quality hatchet. Sure, the machete is only $13, but I can spend $13 on something I don't yet have if there's...

Was checking out the Bug Out Deals thread just now and saw the great price on the Cold Steel machete and started to itch. But I have a SOG tomahawk (16.5" long) already, which could certainly be used to clear brush to a certain degree. (I also have a Fiskars hatchet in the higher quality department,...

Welcome back! Definitely interested in pictures and some details on your endeavors.

Oh hey I guess I did have something. / Well back to listening to music. Pepper by Butthole surfers

Heard that song for the first time in a long time earlier this week.

I only have a couple of goals that will hopefully set the baseline for some changes in 2019. First, continue my attempts at better fitness and getting to the point where I can run a sustained 4-5 miles in reasonably good time. Second, get some better financial security. I have the opportunity now, b...

While I did make my own, I am relatively certain that these issues are universal to the concept as a whole. Shorter firearms might be somewhat more suitable to it, but I kind of doubt it. Has anyone had any other experiences with these? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/6a8b4e707c60b4b877d0...
