We bought one (may not be Ziplock) but that dang thing didn't suck. So it sucked cause it didn't suck. It couldn't form a seal on the bag for some reason. I was quite surprised that it could actually fly for a short distance......once.

There is one trick that I've learned - if what I am storing has a lot of liquid then I will toss them in the freezer for a bit to solidify the liquids. That pump will not work with a high liquid content in the bag.
Hmmmm. May have to glue some parts back on and try it again. Thanks!!
Went camping with my Boy Scout Troop This weekend worked on of all things Wilderness Survival. All in All every thing went ok
Nice thread
Purchased 50 more rounds for my .40 S&w. Got a gerber sharpner for my mora clipper and attached it to my gobspark armagedon firesteel lanyard. Also found a army book on edible plants.
Plus was able to find some allergy friendly snacks for my girlfriend's pack at a local rei. Also my local grocery store had sales going on for protein bars and enrgy bars for less than a dollar.
Its Cyclone season over here in the north of Australia , Where I am hasnt been hit yet, but we will soon enough. So all Ive done was check my Cyclone Kit thats always stocked . first aid kit , gas for the cooker , stored food is all good and got plenty of water stored away ,as its the tropics and get very warm up here. All my Survival gear is good to go . I got a small pack I can throw on if I have to leave in a hurry , that has pretty much everthing for me to live on .
Took the LSAT. Boom.
I hope you did well.
I will never forget taking the LSAT. I had two herniated disks, the flu and no pain medication.
This week I bought and broke in a new shooter, repaired an old shooter and refinished some furnature to spruce up the retreat.
Added a couple of Hurricaine lamps, 50 ft of 550 Paracord, and a solar/crank lantern.
Bought some more 5 gallon buckets with Gama Seal lids. Now I'm thinkin 2 years worth of food would be better!
How on earth will you store and rotate 2 years worth of food? I have no place (or desire) to store 1 year's worth.
Some food lasts up to 20 years when stored properly Rick, and I have lots of room. I only rotate foods that last 2 years or less, and by the way. A couple of months after SHTF I will call you to see how your doing!Quote:

Wow, you guys have two years of food put away!
Not me. About 6 months for the whole family. I'd have to buy another house or 2 for two years worth of food.
I scouted a new trout stream for good looking holes.
I learned to remove and preserve beaver castor for bait.
I tried raw deer heart and t-loin to see how it was and see how my gut handled it.
I taught the figure 4 trap as well as the greased string dead fall.
I soaked a hide in preps for brain tanning it.
So, how did that go?Quote:

Where, in this big nation of ours, is deer season still open in March?Quote:

So deer season never ends as long as you have a car or truck!Quote:

That is a lot of stuff in a canteen pouch!
I read this entire thread and many others. Joined the site.
I changed the oil in my truck, 13 quarts.
Bought my first first-aid kit. I'm currently working on my first BOB.
Bought some throwing knives, axe and a book on throwing knives from amazon. Added a lot of items to my wish list(not all to be purchased there, but just to keep a list).
I've never though of growing my own veggies, but once I have the time and resources, I will now.
Knowledge is power
Nada nothing zilch, been too busy woking on the laundry room, but then again, the only thing I can do to prep more than I already have is to store more food!
I wrote down 100 survival bushcraft project builds. they cover the major needs of someone in the wilderness. i think my favorite build is the two prod Father and Son Bow...
Gun show, added to stocks of ammo, brass, and Handi Rifles........
Cleaned out my truck, organized my garage(I rent it), practiced knife throwing and sharpened my axe
Updated Bug Out Bag with stuff from the gun show two weekends ago. Zeroed the scope on my new 6.8 SPC AR15 and I think with some time I am really going to like that rifle. I finished reading the SAS Survival Handbook. Next on the list is prepping my garden beds and finishing planting onions and potatos for this year.
I revised my emergency evacuation plan and my family and I practiced several different scenarios. I also purchased another 12 month food supply, so we are set for a long, long time!
I just finished my urban light weight first aid kit. Planning to buy a good flint and steel...
Rebuilt the utility trailer. New floor and sides. It is a homestead necessity and replaces a pickup truck for me.

When the temp tops 60 I will apply paint.
Nice, .....Looks like hinges with removeable pins for take down?
One can never have too many trailers.....
Don't forget to put the tent poles in the trailer.:innocent:
600 rounds of PMC 9mm ammo in a dry box...............Glock food!
Cleaned up our new land well enough to pitch tents and build a fire. Next step is to put out a fire ring and build a small clay oven for cooking. Hopefully by years' end we'll be able to put down a hand-pump well. It's two miles from the Creek, so the aquifer will be shallow, cold, and clean. We're going to start off with fencing in the front, garden right behind it (the property faces south) and let most of the rest stay woods except for a trail leading back to the "midway" where we'll start our "shack". The only area that is almost clean is in the very back and I'm going to set up a beehive or two back there to help pollinate all the huckleberries and muskadines. All the trees are really big so there aren't many herbs growing.
We've got a lot of work to do to make it livable, but make no mistake; we want it to remain mostly the thick woods that it already is!
I added a cold steel tomahawk to my kit. Hit the dollar store for more peroxide, tuna salad, and first aid bandages.
