Time to use the shit I already own. Being debt free, with a baby on the way and our wedding next fall has put my desires for more material goods in line with what I really need. That being said, I am on the waiting list for a Boreal Forest shirt from Empire Wool and Canvas. I only asked for cash to ...

I have a Choate Survivor stock set on my H&R .22 sportster. It works very well for me. I keep a variety of stuff in mine.

bic lighter
tinder
pocket knife
snare wire
water bag
aquamira tablets
mylar blanket
safety pins
and some fish hooks and sinkers

Interesting discussion here. The linked article I think is less so. IMO the most over looked prep is related to boring everyday living. It is fun to buy lights, fire arms, tactical gear and generators and such. It is boring and hence overlooked to: 1) Plan and save for retirement. 2) Insure adequat...

I keep 110 and 220 conibears plus a supply of commercially assembled snares in my "luxury" box. They perform far better then any bushcraft trap will. I don't have to worry about a trigger not being carved properly or assembled right. Conibears and snares made of aircraft cable have a proven track re...

I use a similar setup. I am tired of the huge ruck mentality people seem to have. All of the items I need for a bug out can be packed in two smaller (1800 to 2500 cube) packs and a duffel bag. I simply feel that leaving a vehicle in my AO is a mistake under most conditions. Our bug out plan involves...

I ordered a Nessmuk pack from Frost River today. I am pretty stoked to get it.

I just ordered a couple Kifaru Pullouts to help organize my GHB. I hope they don't end up making me buy a kifaru pack.

I am torn between the Scout and the X-ray for a hiking/hunting/fishing and fast and light GHB. Thanks for posting the pics. Seeing this is making me lean towards the scout. I can say that both the scout and xray would make great bags in all of those roles mentioned. The X-ray would probably be a be...

1.) debt from previous marriage is under control. 28 more payments and I am done paying the trustee. 2.) Finally got my dad to wake up and stop talking the propaganda at face value. He is bulking up on their already considerable supplies. 3.) It only took three floods, several days without power due...

1. loose weight.
2. save more. Easier now that my chapter 13 filing is finalized.
3. fish more
4. hunt more
5. enhance my garden.

I love my Junglas. Its my favorite blade.

I have been using a live trap in the back yard to add some rabbits and squirrels to the menu. I figure its a good skill to practice.

I have trimmed down what I EDC. It used to be wallet, watch, keys, phone, benchmade knife, surefire flashlight, multi tool, handful of change, lighter and pens. I thought I needed all this stuff. Because of the work I do, now I don't carry nearly as much. This is partly related to the job related it...

I picked up a Plano tool box at Menards for a new kit. $10.99 was a solid price for me.

I would say get a Mora #1 and a ESEE Izula. Better yet, save your cash for a couple more weeks and get a ESEE 4.

ESEE blades have a warranty that is second to none. I have an Izula and a Junglas. These two are the best fixed blades I own.

I love my Danner's. I'm getting another pair in a few months as a spare. I have wide feet and the wide width Danner's work for me. They also have held up well on the concrete.

Man you guys carry way more stuff then I ever have. Even when we hunted in the Badlands, we didn't that much stuff. You will find that all the extra shit you want to carry might hinder your ability to hunt. I like to carry a small backpack, I think its smaller than 2,000 cu. Its loaded with a small...

My girlfriend and I spend about $25-50 a month on extra food for our storage. Each month I spend about $25 on misc extra items such as nails, tarps, cordage, etc. We also buy a 12 pack of mason jars each month and 4-5 boxes of lids.

I love a good nasty ND winter. Here are some things that I have learned, sometimes the hard way. Something else to think about is get a handful of lock de-icers. I leave a couple in my desk at work, one in my lunchbox (in a ziplock), a couple in the glove box, and a six pack at home. One the topic o...

We keep all of the rice and pasta upstairs currently. The dry bulk...

I have a couple hundred tea light candles. I also have a UCO mini candle lantern that burns tea lights. The price is good and they don't burn forever so I stocked up on them.

I keep my ESEE Junglas on the headboard. My girlfriend has made peace with it. Life is good.
