Thread: what did you do this week to prepare

  1. #1001

    The buck saw is home made out of oak dowel. But, I would just put the blade (shortened down) in my pack. I had a folding saw and the blade broke last weekend. So, while I decide what to get next I made this thing. It cuts very well. Much better than my folding saw.

    Anyway, if I can find a place to buy just the saw for the back of my axe I will. Good combo!

    Yep! It tucks snugly up into the handle and stays there quite well. I love it! It's not that pricy either. I got it cheeper at a sporting goods store than at the Gerber site. It only cost me like 30.00.

    It does. They also make a version where a fixed blade knife fits in the handle.

    Hell, I think I paid that for the axe alone. Doesn't look like the saw would fit in my axe though.

    It probably won't. This is the same axe as you have, but the handle is different. It's a bit wider...not by a lot though. If you look at the handle of the saw, it has a silver dot on it. There is a really strong magnet that keeps it in the axe really snug. I think I got the price I got because I got it off season and from a small little mom and pop place. I really lucked out on that price. worth the purchase in my opinion...

    A couple of weeks ago Rick posted a link ( I couldn't find the post) about the yaseau VX-6R handheld radio. I picked one up at the local ham shop. Guy was is a good mood and let me have it for $229.00 tax included. Man it's tiny the radio minus the antenna is not much bigger than a pack of cigarettes. seems like a nice unit. Am currently reading the manual with it. (106 pages) I'll post a review when I get done checking it all out.
    If by what I have learned over the years, allow me to help one person to start to prepare. If all the mistakes I have made, let me give one person the wisdom that allows them to save their life or the life of a loved one in an emergency. Then I will truly know that all the work I have done will have been worth every minute.

    I have a couple of white gas lanterns and decided I'd rather have something that's propane for the house. So I picked up a couple of propane lanterns and a Deitz lantern on eBay for $9.99 plus $17 shipping. One of the propane lanterns is missing the heat shield and the tank stand but I ordered both for $15 including shipping. So, for less than $35 I wound up with a couple of propane lanterns and a deitz lantern. All I did was clean them up and add new wicks and some fuel. I think I'll pick up one of those 30 inch propane trees so I can hook a lantern directly to a 20lb tank. Those rascals throw out some heat, too!

    Before....

    And after...I'm waiting for the parts to come in for the second propane lantern so I don't blow the house up.

    I know there are some Deitz lovers on here and I don't mean to disparage them but this little guy (I think it's a 20) is made cheaper than a Toyota. It's made of super thin tin. House flashing is thicker. If it's out of adjustment you just bend it a bit and everything seems to work. The older ones must be better quality. If you look at the one picture you can see the Made in China label on the bottom.
