Ummm.....Yeah......, No......

Spot on Ken. All of the foods you pictured are in fact packed exactly like MREs. Retort pouches, no refrigeration required, ready to eat, long shelf life. At far less cost

I've been watching, all the episodes so far. You have to admit, it's crazy to be stuck anywhere naked with almost zero equipment, but what a challenge! Then throw in an opposite sex partner who's...

I have a Hennessy Expedition Asym classic and an Explorer Asym zip. I love them both but I like the extra room in the Explorer. As far as classic (bottom entry) style vs Zip, They both have...

I have seen the Spot Shot scopes before. Similar to a Unertl. There is a 12x model up for auction on GunBroker, it is going for $400 at the moment.

Rifle Basix makes an outstanding trigger for the Marlin rimfire bolt actions;

Agreed on the FL group. Seems more sensible to me that if you had a viable retreat set up you would get your family there before a hurricane hit, and avoid the HRT scenario. I'd like to know what...

Anybody catch the show "Militia Rising" last night on Discovery? I thought it was right up there with "Doomsday Preppers". Seems obvious to me from a Survivalist mindset that you wouldn't go on...

Wow same thing happened to my Brother in law and I in Alaska this June. We were headed down the highway to Kenai with his Kataraft in tow, spare tire carrier snapped off the trailer tongue & we ran...

Those shovels look pretty good. I have the Cold Steel Spetsnaz shovel repros. Are the Marbles shovels as rugged? Not sure where you ordered yours but found this site where they have them for $15.73;...

I've been thinking about a SUB 2000 as a companion to my G23. Pretty reliable Rick?

Might just have to add a few of those to my Preps. Some of the rollerpacks too

Came across this in a backpacking magazine. Interesting concept, looks very manueverable and keeps your hands free. They have a "Heavy load" version that can handle 100 lbs.

Aw crap I've got all of them....now what

Welcome from another OH neighbor

I tried that, not in stock at any store in the lower 48

It comes that way from MREDepot, not from Span Alaska sales in bulk. I received it in 12 2 lb cardboard boxes (as stated in my post) with a plastic bag/twist tie, and of course no oxygen absorber.

Found the link, from a "Backwoods Home" article.

In reply to Theocrat's post above, dehydrating as you described won't work. Bacon has way too much fat, it will go rancid. You could put the vacuum sealed bacon in the freezer, then get it out as...

You guys in Alaska are lucky, you can walk into Fred Meyer or other store and just buy this stuff.

I wanted to obtain a large quantity of this shelf stable cracker to put up in #2.5 cans, which...

I take the original label off of prescription meds and put it in the vac bag with the pills then seal them (avoids the potential "Questions" if you have the label with your name on it accompanying...

I get the TOTM meals at Wright Patterson AFB commissary once in awhile. They are basically a stripped MRE in less heavy duty packaging. Not bad for "Training" to eat MREs! Not that I need any...

As a former ASW Destroyer guy I only have one argument for the "Subs and targets" guys. Ten kiloton Nuclear ASROC Rocket thrown depth charge equals "Target and large smoking hole in the water where a...

I knew something like this was going to result from that show. The folks that put themselves on display were just asking for trouble.

I watched both episodes. I was mostly pleasantly surprised by the content. Going in I figured they would make these people out to be nuts. Overall they seem to be portrayed as pretty normal. I...
