Keep stuff hidden when you can, even your guns and food. |

I only visit here for any possible "heads up" on whatnot not mentioned in the news. It's getting pretty difficult with so many BS threads burying the worthy stuff pages back. Obammys minions at work I suppose. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 64957503 There's really not that much to be said about prepping. We've all seen the same basic list of Important Shit To Have When TSHTF 500 times now. Not as interesting to me as it was 10 years ago. |

User ID: 37698198 United States03/02/2015 05:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | All those lists of stuff, great if you have the luxury of sheltering in place. If you have to bug out, stick with what you can carry. Keep it simple. Rugged outer shell garment, under clothing in layers, a canteen cup and canteen, a rugged multi tool like leatherman. A wrist rocket slingshot with extra rubbers (knock a armed bad guy out cold and take his stuff) a flint. Your best tool is your noggin. All the gung ho jonny commando gear won't do you a bit of good with out noggin skills to improvise and turn every day garbage into tools of survival. Plentiful and disposable. Your best bet is learn firecraft, water purification, small animal traps and snares, wild herbs and medicinal plants. Shelter and concealment, hole up by day, move by night, stay off water ways, stay off ridgelines, stay off roads and trails. The clothes on your back, a rucksack with a few essentials. Learn the other stuff you can improvise and fashion things to use and discard as you go. My 2 cents. Taught Survival long ago. |

This is a very nice OCD list, but the illness in creating it is showing a bit too much. And I've been at it for years... Quoting: Thulsa Yep! I always get a kick out these lists, especially when it comes to the amount of weight that everything adds up to. For instance in the list a "Soap/Laundry Bucket/Plunger" in your pack, along with squirt bottles? Really? Far too much space taken up along with weight. And ditch the cotton clothes. They may be comfortable until their wet and hypothermia becomes a threat, not to mention they take forever to dry out. There are FAR better synthetics on the market today that are lighter, more comfortable and more durable. Wear a pair of Levi's soaking wet when it's 50 degrees and raining, then get back to me on how well they worked out. No offense OP, but your list blows. Far too much weight and far too many items that could be totally left out. Think light and fast. Lumbering around with 80 pounds of crap is a sure way to get no where quick and the old adage of you'll only die tired bears repeating. Here's my way. First off is knowledge! Read as many books/watch as many videos on survival/backpacking/hunting/defense as you can possibly stomach. Then go DO. Put that knowledge into practice, practice, and more practice until you don't even need to think about what you're doing. Along the way you'll get the gear that's best for YOU and you're situation. There's a vast treasure trove of info on the web about lightweight backpacking, bushcraft and gear for any income and skill level. You can be dirt cheap or have the finest titanium gear made for the big bucks. But in no way is "stuff" a replacement for what's in your head. |

Someone repost that link to the guy who survived holed up in his Bosnian town in the 90's. I think its in thread about when the collapse comes and the shooting starts. Bunch of John Waynes posted in that thread. People, friends, Brothers, Sisters you can't imagine the horror. No one one, not even me, Dick Head Richard Cranium will survive without deep lifelong psychological permanent scarring. You may choose. not to even long afterwards. Just ask some Vets. |

First prep: Get your soul saved through Jesus Christ. Second prep: Realize you are not prepared (and do not want to die unprepared). Third prep: Start reading / learning / and slowly stocking up on the things you ALREADY USE. It will become a lifestyle that is sustainable, rewarding, and very smart financially. |

Quoting: 201X 67659082 . . . Too much! Reduce it to: Minimal: A knife (Mora knifes are cheap and good) The knowledge in your brain. Maybe: Cooking pot, A rope If you are american a gun (.45 revolver something that can kill a grizzly and be concealable) That's it, if you are immobile you are doomed. Too much stuff and you are tied to a place. If you can acquire social skills, like how to make friends quickly. That sort of thing, but don't turn your back on them. If you are in a group you are stronger. And of course be prepared to give up everything except your love for Jesus. |

VERY true on wanting to encourage the OP and any one else reading and thinking about this thread. I applaud him on the .22. That's a good, wise choice as is some of his other choices in gear. OP, I'm sorry I used the word "blows" in relation to your list. "Fine tuning" would be a better way of describing it. And God knows fine tuning is the one thing that you (or I) never run out of!:) I swear I'll be on my death bed debating the virtues of one machete design over another. And to be honest I have to begrudge you on the lack of time and motivation to practice. Practice does take time but it's an investment in that while that skill set may get rusty without use, even a rusty skill set beats an empty skill set when you truly need it. My trapping skills haven't been used in years in the wild, but I still enjoy constructing new traps in my backyard just to fine tune the skills needed to build them. A half hour here or there soon adds up in the knowledge base. But yep, time really is a major investment when it comes to prepping and learning. But if you want to do it you'll always find the time. As with any hobby whether it's going for a long walk, playing video games or spending time at the range it's up to you to motivate and do those things while prioritizing what you NEED to do with your time. And there's the crux: choosing between want and need. Again, priorities. Oh BTW Azazia, you make some very cool things, including the little fan! |
