Re: Whats on your Chriztmas list, ZS?
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 ...

Re: The Most Often Forgotten Survival Preparations
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...

Re: Traps in BoB/Trapping in PAW
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...

Re: Family Bugout System
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...

Re: EDC: Preparedness versus obsession
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...

Re: Looking for a good solid fixed blade knife
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.

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...

Re: How much do you budget for preps?
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.
