Zombie Squad

So can we stop reading "BOB" and assuming "INCH" at least while on ZS? I don't think anyone in their right mind is sitting there looking at a messenger bag thinking "This will carry everything I need to flee civilization and the zombie apocalypse for weeks or more at a time." Personally I think mos...

I was mainly thinking of using a messenger bag because it's compact. Do you think that you can run very fast while wearing one? Will the bag be constantly hitting your thigh? As for water, I was thinking of having some potable aqua tablets, and a katadyn filter. 2 nalgene bottles seem sufficient fo...

Guaranteed to have better luck than me

Also search sites and/or real surplus stores. Always a good deal on the web if you are diligent and look hard enough.

Mora!

No. But I have tried a day hike with a messenger bag before. It was not very comfortable. While not a messenger bag, I had a Maxpedition Sitka which is a one strap sling style backpack. I thought it would make a good dayhiking/SHTF tactical bag. The problem is once you put stuff in it of any meanin...

Re: Fasting Back in the day, I'd fast regularly. 3-5 days every 6 months or so. It was done for a "theological" reason. That fasting does not compare as you are still in relative comfort and know that facilities are avaialable to you if needed. On top of that you do have clean water. In Bangladesh, ...

Home BOB: Jerky, nuts, dried fruit, some hot drinks, candy.
Work BOB: Same thing and an MRE entree pouch.

I got plenty to spare at my beltline, mostly for morale and to chase the pangs away.

What a fine pie filling.

I have a 1st or 2nd gen Wave (2004?) and it is fine. It lives in my general toolbox though as it was just too much for EDC. I used to pack it in the woods but it seemed to much for even that. I'm pretty happy with my Juice I carry EDC and woods. It's damn fine though. I hear the newer generations al...

All the tools are available on the Swisstool Spirit X while the pliers are closed. Just no one handed (thumb) opening. I don't have one but have been looking at Swisstools as I have a bunch of Leathermen. Not one in my near future but I hear Swisstools MTs are very nice.

What I have found to be of most use for me and my wood processing: 15" (or so) axe, mine is a Wetterlings Hunter's. Sven Saw 21". Good knife that can baton, Mora here. Just last year, on some more intense winter trips (intense = more than one per year :P ) found the ultimate value of a full size axe...

I found my Fit Deck! I haven't seen the thing in a few years. It was in the box with my old jump rope.

Is that tent one of them Whelans?

Will watch Joezilla and Watts this afternoon.

He saw the tattoo of his brother on your leg. He thought, "Hmmm, looks like a good place to land."

$600? Hrmm... you gotta' do what you gotta' do. I'm in the "lucky" position of wanting both, either a Glock or Berreta version. That "want" never going to be a "got" if they keep going at that price though, but that's me.

Not this trip - this one was "vacation". We hanged, drank coffee and tea, and ate. That's about it.

ETA: Oh, and everything I ware was cotton except my socks, which are bamboo rayon

That's it. It may not seem like a lot but imagine finding that bit on a rainy dusk and you know you will be staying the night out there with just your coat and a poncho. That small bit may be all you need to get some damp feather sticks dry enough to sustain itself while on fire.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to info on weight/exercise/impact relations? Maybe even point me in the right direction here in this thread or start a "good exercise for fat people..." thread?** Basically, as I stated above, I know jogging would not be too good for me right now at 327 pou...

OK, less "how pot works" and more "be careful of booby traps" please.

It's only legal recreationally in 2 states right now, and for less than a year, so we've a ways to go before we are as comfortable with pot talk as we are with booze talk.

Better pics than mine, but I'll put some up later anyways.

Turkey loses. They jam all the time.

Thanks Rambo Moe. I'm interested in "park workouts" as that seems to be a thing here in Portland. Good link. ETA: I also have some background, deep deep background (late 80s highschool sports and while in the Navy), in polymetrics. Even went to a camp for that stuff my Junior year in highschool, it ...

We Americans think we have it tough with the new assualt rifle ban pending. Canada has you guys carrying rolled up balls of nylon cord as weapons. You'd be better off with a set of Playschool scissors or maybe just taking a few self defense classes. If you are ever in a real situation where you hav...
