Re: Affordable survival items

The shoes I am wearing are from Shopgoodwill.com. Three leather jackets from the same source. A couple of watches too. Years ago, purchased police recovered bicycles. Purchased a lot of used pocket knives from e Bay over the years. Usually 1/3 the price of new knife. Whether new or not, I would end ...

Re: Night vision: Binocular or monocular?

A thought. Try a browser search or talk to your local camera store for a referral to a major specialized seller in optics. If you are on the east coast, it would probably be a place in New York City. Or I dealt with a specialty place in AZ. Do not buy at Walmart/Target/Big 5. Without identifying the...

ATM card was stolen and used by person(s) unknown. Gave up card and convenience of ATM machine for going and cashing a check for $1000 every few m...

Re: What have you done this week to forward your prepping goals 2020

I came across an Ontario Mark3 knife in inventory. This is the issue knife to Navy Seals at one time. First, I destroyed a Spec-Ops sheath in modifications. :oops: Secondly, I improved the issue sheath by cutting off the old style metal attachment for the web belt. Removed the non comprehensible sho...

Re: DIY cinder block projects

A very interesting video. I live in an area where there is a lot of cinder block construction, including one home that was rebuilt with the outside being bare cinder blocks. I even have a backyard wall someone constructed out of cinder blocks. If you do any of the projects in the tape or decide to b...

Group survival reading suggestion

Long before the Hollywood movie on the Bielski brothers came out, I read the book. The things described in the book were so harsh that I had to put it down. Then I read it and re-read it multiple times. I will tell you up front that I believe, given time, either the Germans or the Soviets would have...

Re: Your choice(s) for SHTF weapons

Khuhri knife. I was trained in using it by a Nepalese more than 20 years ago in a class sponsored by Steve Tarani. I was awarded one. I remember the police driving up when we were in the process of chopping through vertical, supported 4x4s. They never got out of the patrol car. We laughed. The more ...
