  1. COLD WEATHER “minimum kit”

    Wasn't trying to say you didn't understand. I was confused because the ratings for all three bags are on the midwayusa site, so when you say there was nothing but the patrol bag it didn't make sense. The sale is for the entire system. So again, just not sure why you're focused on just the patrol...

  2. COLD WEATHER “minimum kit”

    I'm confused on what point you're trying to make. There's an intermediate bag that's rated 40 to -15, as well as the bivy bag. And when all three are combined its even better. Sure if I bought the patrol bag alone it wouldn't work well. But the entire system is 150 bucks. Unless I'm missing...

  3. COLD WEATHER “minimum kit”

    With all the talk about sleep systems in here, Midway has this sleep system for sale for 150 dollars. Reviews look good and they say it's exactly like the one I used in the Army. I ordered one so I can give a personal review once it arrives and I use it at next month's field drill.

  4. Long term food storage

    I use a cheap flat iron off amazon. I set it to the middle setting. Takes about 2 sec to seal.

  5. Long term food storage

    I store about 30lbs of extra dog food in this. Air tight, good quality. They go up to 80lb containers. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002DJOOI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

  6. I bought some bulk rice and beans. How do I store them?

    I bought that same bag last weekend. it filled about eight 1 gallon mylar bags. That I then put in a rubbermaid bin for storage in the garage. One 1 gallon bag will last me a little over a week, with just me eating. That's eating just rice for the majority of my carbs in a 2000 calorie plan...

  7. Best affordable 2 way radios less than $100

    Thanks for the recommendations. Just ordered 6 of the motorolas. I'm going to try them out and set them up for the near future while I try to figure out these Anytone radios. Just for emergency around the neighborhood type stuff.

  8. When Do You React

    A: If there was an abrupt power outage. Step 1- I would check email for the power company alert with their expected duration Step 2- If email shows it's local and expected to be fixed soon I will disregard. If no alert then move on to cell communication. Step 3- If no cell signal I would hop...

  9. 3-Ring Binder and Other Hard Copies

    This thing is amazing. When you said it had a lot of information I still severely underestimated the amount of information in this thing, lol.

  10. Propane/multifuel generators

    Would also like to know. I have the Champion 3500 dual fuel right now and it's awesome, but have thinking about an inverter generator.

  11. Solar power

    So if I understand correctly, I was looking at an 800 watt system (Renogy) that includes everything but the inverter and batteries. That just tells me that the system will provide 800 watts of charging power, ideally, regardless of the number of batteries correct? I get that the rate of charge...

Amateur radio: a list of local repeaters, contacts, and how-to stuff 6. Survival tips related to your...

  13. What is your Cold Weather Jacket Set up?

    I have a really nice light jacket from a brand called Aigle. It's waterproof and windproof. Basically a "shell". Underneath that the layers will change based on the temperature. It sits in my car bin for any emergencies. Along with a cold weather base layer, a t-shirt, a flannel shirt, a wool...

  14. Low Price Alert: Baofeng UV-5R Ham Radios

    Well i'll be headed home tonight with the radio, to give it another shot. I'll let you know how it goes. Any leads on a good place to find a list of the frequencies for items like local services, Emergency and weather radio. Local freq's and repeaters?

  15. What's a good tactical/survival axe?

    I have the Bear Grylls parang, and it would work well for chopping smaller branches. It domes a little dull as usual, but after a good sharpening you are good to go.

  16. Low Price Alert: Baofeng UV-5R Ham Radios

    I downloaded the chirp software to a different computer and it seems to be working this time. Unfortunately I left the radio at work so I'll have to wait unt Monday to find out.

  19. Low Price Alert: Baofeng UV-5R Ham Radios

    I have been able to find the hand mike, 12v car battery adapter, and a mountable antenna with cable. All on Amazon. I just haven't pulled the trigger on them because I still haven't figured out programming the darn thing yet.

  20. Low Price Alert: Baofeng UV-5R Ham Radios

    Is there a car kit available for these radios? My idea is to have mine mounted in the car for day to day GHB type scenarios, but then just take it and go if need be.
