Im just being prepared, not a fanatic.

well shit if you can live off what you have at your house for two weeks you should be taken out haha

 

I was in Mia FL 2005....19 named storms....5 made it to land...two ran right over my house! I think those numbers are right...but weeks after weeks with out power and looting.....sucked! So yea...get prepared. Good thread.

 

haha maybe there should be trusted groups to start the new world after they all die off ?

 

Great thread haha

 

2x that.. 11 days w/o power here after Ivan with no generator.. 0 days without cold beer Always be prepared you never know what tomorrow will bring.

 

my wifes dad just got a 320 gallon fuel tank at their lake house. our bug out location

 

Pretty happy I just scored 3 of these bad boys this weekend:



My prep gear keeps expanding, and these will work nicely for the more delicate items like food, dry goods, etc. Came complete with foam liners, working breather valves, intact rubber gaskets, and all clamps were in perfect working order. I can fit 5 of these in my long bed - 2 of them flat, and 3 more on their edges.

I'm set with enough supplies to keep 4 of us content for a month before we have to start getting creative. That's better prepped than we were just 6 months ago.

 

^^^nice

 

Those are good containers. We store our extra M4s and M16s at work in cases similar to those. We pack desiccant packs in them to keep moisture out.

 

The foam in these was pre-cut for laptops and electronics, as you can see here:



I removed the entire foam block from one of them pretty easily (just secured with a stinky white rubber cement stuff). I was thinking of cutting the guts out of the foam block so I have just a foam liner, but these also should work great by just removing all the foam and adhesive and just having a good hard case. Looking forward to loading them up with my bail-out gear for the truck that I would not be carrying on my back in the case of the SHTF and my truck was still working. If the world doesn't end, then I can fit all of my necessary camp gear for a long weekend into just one of these.

Talk about your good bear-proof food storage!

 

Doomsday Preppers!

That's an entertaining show! Watched it last night and this guy dropped $2mil on a safe house in west Texas.

 

Tim Ralston, one of their regular guests on the show, is a good friend of mine and he has quite a setup. He's the inventor of the Crovel crowbar/shovel/zombie-killer. Just ran into him at Panda Express today! He always hooks me up with some great prep and army surplus stuff.
