I just picked up the McMurdo FastFind 210. I got it for $240 from REI. Very lightweight so I don't mind having it in the backpack or in the pocket. I would also suggest that you look into becoming...
You're not gonna get any disagreement from me on that one!
Practicing for survival (survival preparedness) is doing donuts in a large parking lot after a snowfall.
Survival is getting control of your car again after it goes into an unexpected skid on a...
I don't remember where I got mine at, some place on the internet. If you google Iodine Tablets you will get lots of hits. Mine are in small aspirin bottle type bottles, others are in foil wrapped...
If my memory serves me correctly, the name change occurred after Egypt decided to slaughter all the pigs in the country in order to prevent the "Swine" flu from taking hold there. It was within a...
Yes, I have those too. Thanks for all the feedback.
Researching this more I found this URL, http://www.proki.org/gas-filters.htm
The rubber on the masks I have is still very flexible and elastic. The straps and everything functions as new so I...
That's another question I have. the cartridges all have the original seals in place. The seals aren't broken. What would the shelf life of such canisters be good for?
As far as I can tell the...
I have an Israeli surplus mask and filters that came on the market after the '91 war. I was wondering if the filters were biological rated. The question as to biological rating came up after our...
THAT is weird, it does look like it got caught in something hydraulic doesn't it...
Ohhhhhhhhh you don't get off so easy! Pass the popcorn please?
Was the blade dull?
Just an FYI, white gas burns hotter than propane so if you are planning to use them out of doors in the winter and it typically gets pretty cold in your area during the winter, you may want to keep...
If you are in New Hampshire, check well to do neighborhoods with large wooded lots behind them. The ice storm we had last December took a lot of trees down and the well to do neighborhoods typically...
I'm in our town's CERT. I haven't had any formal training yet but we did have an activation last December (two months before I joined). It was for an ice storm that knocked out power to a lot of...
I was rather surprised to receive this information in an email. Apparently Montana has passed into law a bill which basically tells the Federal government to take a hike on any firearms laws that...
This is an excellent thread. The video from the USCG is outstanding. How do I bookmark it?
I never thought of that. I tend to be a black hole when it comes to guns. I've thought of that in the past, just never really pursued it. I'll check this site and try to figure out the rules for...
Something else you might want to consider, oxygen absorption packets.

I don't have the Henry AR-7 Survival Rifle, I have a prior version, same design though. While the rifle floats and stows up into a smaller package, I wouldn't use it in any capacity, the one I have...
I didn't like the other option. Spent 9 years in the military (Active/Active reserve), scouts and do a lot of hiking though not as much as I'd like. There have been times when I was "a mite...
Neat! Thanks!
Neat! Thanks!
I've done this once several years ago and was successful but that was having an experienced person guide me. I'm trying this again now but find that the string on my bow is slipping and I tend to...
