Re: Need Help w/ Tent & Sleeping Bag
Cool dog! anyway, for great ventilation for those muggy evenings ( I live in Alabama, I know all about muggy weather) there arent many tents that do better than Tarptent. I have a cloudburst, and it is great for catching a breeze. However, single walled tents are not the best for extremely rainy wea...

What yossarian said. I had one in .45, it was fun to shoot. Not too practical, no hicap mags, etc etc. I sold it eventually. But great fun to shoot!

Re: Remington 870 Folding stocks
I have one of the cheap ATI top folders on my 870 clone. It works pretty well actually. I bought it for the same reason - s I could have a more compact setup for the trunk/bug-out kit.

Re: The shelter debate.
Having played around with a number of different tent setups, I finally settled on a Henry Shires Tarptent. I have the Cloudburst, and just ordered the Double Rainbow. Super lightweight, bug free, not so amazingly good in the rain or heavy snow, but did I mention lightweight?

Re: Maverick 88 or NEF Pardner Pump?
I have the NEF and like it a lot. The Mav is also a good gun, you wouldn't be disappointed with either one. Personally I prefer the 870 ergonomics just a tad more than the Mossberg setups, mostly the safety. I wish I had the money for a proper Remy, maybe next year. Until then, the NEF works for me.

Re: Widow Makers
Yep, after a particularly spooky, windy night in the Ozark N.F. just waiting for a tree to crash on my head, I take a good loooooong look at any potential campsite. Mostly by looking up. Lately I have been hiking parts of the Pinhoti trail in the Talledega N.F., and have completely given up on campi...

Re: How much water, and how do you carry it?
I only carry 2 liters of water in plain ol plastic bottles in my BoB, but I have lots of Potable Aqua tabs, and can boil as much as I want (wood stove ftw!) if I have the time. Of course, any decision about how much "ready" water to carry should reflect your environment - I live in the southeast: ev...

Re: Why do you "dislike" Bear Grylls?
I would watch his show for the giggles, but when he was lost in the wilds of Northeast Alabama (???) and went caving without any preparations, then just hopped in an underground river, I lost it. My main reason for deeply disliking the guy is that he gives out bad information, and if some kid watche...

Re: Kelty Red Cloud 6650 -- Looking for Opinions
It is a nice pack. One of my hiking buddies uses one, and it looks like it holds up well. I like the multiple pockets more than on my Vaude pack, of course the Kelty is a little heavier I think for the same volume. And wow, that thing is, well, RED. A more sedate pack cover may be a good idea. Not a...

Agreed. Also there is the whole safety in numbers issue. It wouldnt be like a solo hike into Denali or anything... (famous last words, yea I know)

Re: A group of survivors passes your hidey hole...
I would let them pass without contact. 1)they are heavily armed. They may decide they would rather take what I have rather than trade. 2) They are in contact with the zombies. If I get involved, then I am in contact with the zombies. 3)if they have water, it means water is SOMEWHERE nearby. I'd take...

Re: POLL: Classify Yourself as a Certain Type of Survivalist
I would say my #1 is "natural disaster" - Although I could click on most of your choices, I think I gear myself more towards preparing for your run-of-the-mill natural disaster scenarios. Boring, I know. But it's how I roll.
