Any fellow survivalists utilize their truck?

I did the same thing. Ive got 5 of them in a zip lock bag. I tested it out and I was suprised how well it burned. I couldnt blow it out either! haha i had to pour some water on it

 

I've been using dryer lint and wax in an egg carton for years. Put a few together to boil water.

this is one of the best things ive read on this forum! haha
way to go man!

me and all my neighborhood friends played "war" with toy guns as kids but never anything this intense!


Hopefully in about 4 years or so my wife and I will be building a home on about a 50 acre plot

 

I went through my g.h.b (get home bag) and put some new foods in it and re organized it.

I also broke everything down and tooks pics to share how I have it organized.

here is everything laid out and my bag. It's just a issued GI pack, it has really wide straps that make it pretty comfortable to wear.


I have the camo stuff in there now for hunting season, once its over it will go bye bye. The shrunk wraped package has a change of clothes, pants, tshirt, socks, and boxers - 1 each.


First aid kit
banaids, gauze, medical tape, lip balm, sunscrean, bug repellent, antibacterial cream, alcohol wipes,


fire starting kit: waterproof matches, lighter, fire cubes, cotton balls w/petro jelly

 

survival gear: reflective belt (you want to be seen when changing a tire on the highway at night), 50' paracord, all weather pen, mini mag, extra batteries, zip ties, led head lamp, compas, led flashlight, chem light



this stuff is in the front medim pouch
mechanic gloves, nomex gloves, food stuffs, emergency poncho, emergency blanket, shears, tactical light


front small pouch
gerber multi tool, gerber knife, belt, ear plugs (i like to forget them when I go to the range), chem light, and another flashlight

 

Looks good dude!

I'm hoping after the holidays hit I'll be able to start putting a bag together.

Seems like someone with the right ideas could make a few bucks selling these survival kits "prepackaged".

 

I keep my GHB in my truck and have my vehicles limited recovery kit with it (thats a build in progress) I also have some extra clothes and gloves and tarps. I keep a pretty beefed up trauma kit in my bed box as well. My ghb is a grab and go kit thats about 20 lbs. its designed for walking across town during an emergency (est. 72 hours transit around wichita) but I can stretch it to 5 days if need be. its also the main component in my BOB/kit. My GF has hers I am working on one for my K9 as well.

 

Good stuff!! I like the awareness of this group!

 

they sell them all over the internet

thanks. there is other stuff in the truck that i dont keep in the bag.
small tool kit
30' recovery strap with D rings
Gerber Machete
extra pair of sunglasses
extra pair of mechanic gloves
more flashlights, knives (you can never have to many lights )
air compressor

 

I fucking love flashlights!

fixed

 

I love you.

No kidding.

Finally got the GHB and BOB done. Only need one more item and that is a water filter. I was gonna cheap out and get the Katadyn hiker model but I decided to just save up for the top dog filter they make. The problem is it's $275 on Amazon. I figure it will be the last filter I will ever need to buy. But it sure is expensive.

I love this thread, but it also makes me feel bad for not getting off my ass and get my BOB put together yet. I have added it to the list of winter projects. Thanks for all the information everyone is putting up here. Now I just have to convince my wife I am not crazy just prepared.

 

My wife thinks I am crazy....after three years of this stuff she is kinda sorta warming up the idea the something "could" happen. Welcome to the thread!
