Anyone looking for long-running lantern should consider the BLF Lantern. You can buy it from a number of places but here's a link to the manufacturer where you can see what the specs are https://sofirnlight.com/products/blf-lt1-lantern?_pos=1&_sid=41bfcf3b3&_ss=r&variant=31483031355452 I...

For factory rounds I have 1,000 45, 1,000 40, 2,000 9mm, 200 38/357, 5,000 22lr, 500 12 gauge, and 1,500 5.56. Not a whole lot but that's supplemented by about 10,000 reloads in .45, 40, 9mm and 38/357 split pretty much equally. Pretty sure nobody is going to care if what's coming at them is a 45 Go...

A deficiency in the Aquatabs is that it's ineffective against Cryptosporidium. From Aquatabs website at https://www.aquatabs.ca/faq.html . They say it's not common but in a disaster situation I would consider all water sources suspect and assume Crypto is present in the water. Are Aquatabs water pur...

My 220 and 226 fit the same holsters so I'm not sure why yours didn't. They're older ones (stamped metal) so maybe something changed with later ones? Their DA/SA are fine but my 229 trigger is not nearly as good.

I'd be concern with carrying a 22LR just because of the higher odds of having a misfire. Seems like I always have a few not go off whenever I'm out on the range.

As for the chlorine dioxide I have a bunch of the Katadyn Micropur MP1 tablets and some bottles of Aquamira chlorine dioxide water treatment bottles but I bought those before I bought the potableaqua device. I keep them around as a just in case kind of things since they don't take up much room.

I am using Hydrogen Peroxide created by this device https://www.potableaqua.com/products/pa-pure-electrolytic-water-purifier/ Easy to use and the only takes water and salt of one form or another to make the solution. I have many packets of table salt packed away with it since it's easier than having...

Yeah...luckily they are easily filtered out with any 0.2 - 0.3 filter. Hydrogen Peroxide and Chlorine Dioxide will kill Crypto so that's what I recommend to my friends as a backup instead of Iodine or other Chlorine based treatment. With filtered water they will all kill the remaining viruses but on...

Anyone concerned about viruses? I usually Steri-pen my water which deactivates all pathogens but plan to drop chemicals into filtered water after a disaster when I need large quantities of water. Basically filter water into containers using a 0.2 micron filter to remove non-viruses, and then add che...
