  1. COLD WEATHER “minimum kit”

    This system is modular and has bags and essentially a liner. With both being used it will go down to -15 supposedly. But like you said it is probably more like -5 or zero for actual comfort rating. I used The North Face One Bag during the winter storm a couple weeks ago in Kentucky while...
  2. Generator Thread ....When the power goes out...

    We may be getting some good storms in the next week or so. Stay prepared everyone!
  3. Freeze Dried Meals

    If you like to have a number of Freeze dried meals on hand for whatever reason I have taken the Peak Refuel Sweet Pork and Rice the past 2 backpacking trips I have gone on and it is probably my favorite of all the meals that they make. Flavor is actually pretty good and it rehydrates well...
  4. Freeze Dried Meals

    Big fan of the Peak Refuel (in fact I just bought a sweet pork and rice to try out this weekend on my trip), but yes they are very expensive. REI is having a labor day sale and has 25% off all Mountain House meals right now. Might be a good time to stock up for future trips or whatever for...
  5. Water filters for survival

    Absolutely. My current backpacking filter does 4 liters but isn't anti viral so having that would be good for peace of mine. May just go for a sawyer since it's way smaller and lighter for backpacking but a 10L anti viral one would be great to have for sure
  6. Water filters for survival

    Is there a recommended amount of uses? I figured it was as simple as keeping the filter clean which the site says should be fairly simple
  7. Water filters for survival

    I'm mad you posted this because now I really want it for my overlanding loadout
  8. In doubt of 9mm being best for prepping

    I'd rather a pistol and a rifle cartridge separate. 9mm and 5.56 make the most sense (could maybe argue for 7.62x39 over 5.56) because they are both relatively easily found in America in a theoretical SHTF scenario. Of course you definitely want something that takes glock and AR pattern mags as...
  9. Bad REI Experience

    Sorry to hear about the bad experience. I've had nothing but good experiences both with their gear and their customer service. Did they say they were willing to at least swap the bundle for another one if you brought all of the gear back? Also how did the gear do for you? I've recommended it to...
  10. whats in your bag i should consider putting in mine?

    Now this is where it's at. For the winter I'll probably start putting in some of my camping gear like my jetboil and some dehydrated meals just in case of car stranding due to snow/ice whatever since I work kind of far from home. Also probably will be doing an extra jacket and my waterproof...
  11. so i hit the SOS buttin on my Garmin

    Interesting watch for sure. I don't own a Garmin but I've thought about getting one as I enjoy hiking and such. While agree that I think he was being unfair to how the cops reacted it could've definitely been better, but as he said the cops have never been trained on search and rescue so it's...
  12. Do you have a faraday cage/box/bag etc.?

    How new we talking?
  13. What We Can Learn: Kazakhstan

    If Trump comes back in 2024 I'm sure he'll be very happen to allow his buddy Putin to add "stan" to the end of our name and he'll make a quick buck off of it. We'll be the USSAR
  14. What weapon would you choose?

    Did someone say tacticool and Smith and Wesson?
  15. Bug Out Bag

    Currently re-doing mine. More of a get home bag than anything at the moment, bug out isn't a thing I am anywhere near prepping for. Currently just being purpose built for possibility of maybe 24hr at most survival just to get to the house. Adding to it and would love anyone's suggestions! 5.11...
  16. What weapon would you choose?

    Gotta go with the RDB Survival right? It's got the name survival so it's gotta be the clear choice.
  17. What’s your fitness standard?

    True that. A higher fitness level definitely helps to have a healthier body overall. All the guns in the world won't matter if you can't get off of your couch and go to the fridge without wheezing. Being fit isn't a cure all for many of the diseases you listed, but it sure as hell helps.
  18. What’s your fitness standard?

    I'm not an aerobic fitness type of guy but I'd like to think a 400+ pound bench press can be useful somehow. That said in a SHTF scenario I feel like it depends on your plan. Aerobic levels of fitness like being able to run a mile with a pack is probably fairly useful no matter what, but if...
  19. Survival Hacks

    I guess in certain situations something about beggars and choosers you know?
  20. What if I wanted to set up a church emergency food pantry for when the supply line shuts down?

    This. I work in alcohol delivery and sales are as high as ever with a shortage of drivers and other people. Zero indication that the pipeline has any plans of shutting or slowing. Feels like a scare tactic to me. People also were saying a few months ago that we should be buying up as many 30...
