Re: Weatherproof Wilderness First Response Kit - pelican style?
Not to derail the thread, but I would be interested in a packing list or pictures of your loadout for your RAMMP. Just picked one up and am interested to see how you set yours up.

Re: Your favorite gadgets, gear, and supplies: Under $10.

BiC lighters. Full size ones are $1.99 at gas stations, minis are cheaper. They're durable, dependable, reasonably waterproof, and easy to use. Some of the cheaper brands are ok, but nothing works like a standard bic.

Re: Bug out Map - style & material
You may want to look in to printing your own maps- the USGS makes digital versions of almost all of their products available on their website which you can easily format and print. Several other companies offer nice page-formatted topo maps. If you know anyone with access to professional GIS softwar...

Re: Water storage on a well water.
If your well water is hard, you may run into problems with scale in your storage containers. If you haven't already, get a test kit or have your water tested to determine if you need to worry about it. Of course, if you have a water softener, it's probably not a problem, but if you're filling contai...

Re: Reciprocating Saw for Rescue / Demolition?
I've got a Dewalt 18v reciprocating saw, and I have yet to meet something that it couldn't cut given enough time, blades, and batteries. Always keep plenty of extra blades. I'm partial to the 8" rescue blades for major demolition work and 4" metal cutting blades for cutting hard steel. Longer blades...

Re: Consumable items that do not deteriorate discussion
Rubber gloves- Gloves made of natural latex don't store well. Most of the time, the shelf life on brand-new unopened latex gloves is only about three years. Nitrile gloves last a few years longer, with a shelf life of about five years. Now, those are the recommended guidelines from the glove manufac...

Re: transporting additional fuel with your bugout vehicle?
I've got a tool box for my pickup truck, and I just strap a jerrycan on the back. With a couple of eyebolts and a shortened ratchet strap it's really easy. See my avatar for a picture of it.

Re: No Time Like The Present - Fuel Storage
The National Fire Protection Association sets the safe limit at 25 gallons for the average homeowner, but you may want to check with your insurance company or local firefighters if you want to know for sure. When I store gas, I make sure to fill up with 100% gasoline. If left for too long, the gas a...
