Any fellow survivalists utilize their truck?

Damn, I never thought about carrying a bible.


















You never know when you need some extra fire starting material.

 

HAHAHAHAHA
very true.

 

Or toilet paper.

 

You must mean the koran

 

Love the light.. Just ordered one on Amazon.... Topic Change.. Water Storage. The way a buddy and I are breaking down our prepping is into three phases....

1. Prepped for long haul at home. 2. Mobile in a vehicle. and 3. What you can carry.

Item number 1 and 2 are the most realistic with the craziness of our weather these last few years.

I'm looking for ways to store water and transport water for my family. I have the Reservoir Emergency Water Storage system for use in the bathtubs, but I'm looking for something that is more transportable. (BTW, if you don't have 1 or 2 of these, it should be added to your supplies.

In an emergency situation, the average person will need 3 Gallons of water per day for consumption, cooking, and hygiene. If you have a family of 4 that adds up quickly. A two week supply of water is 168 gallons, which equates to 672 pounds of water, which is difficult to move around if you have it in large containers.

Right now, I keep 3-4 days of water on hand in addition to the Reservoir water systems. I also have two of the Katadyn Hiker Pro Pumps in our bug out bags. My issue is that I don't have a way to transport water effectively, so I'm looking to the group for some creative ideas before I go off and design my own.

 

I have that same gun and if you get a small saber sleeve for it, you can fit it under the rear seat. I didn't care for the trigger on it, so I dropped in a new trigger from Kidd Innovative designs and now its a tack driver.

How are you looking to transport it? Truck, ATV, on foot, etc.? I am sure there is a tank that you can put in the taco then just gravity feed it into what ever you are putting it into from there.
ATV's have attachments for tanks as well.

 

My wife was an early adopter of the Biolite stove and I've commented about it elsewhere so I'll copy/paste my review.

Bringing that back up has reminded me about the flamestower device, I reckon it's time for me to check back in on them.

 

Damn having a life, I missed out on all the fun!

Ignorant... who you sonofa!!!

Arrogant SOB... this I can live with and I appreciate your opinion no matter how wrong it is.

BTW, I don't start EVERY reply with an insult... just the replies with text. Sometimes I post hotlinks to images that aren't insulting at all.

Yep, just going through that long list that is everyone on the intrawebs. With hard work and dedication I'll complete the task and everyone will finally love The SaK!

I think some people take my posts too serious maybe? Connotation doesn't come across very well in text so maybe I just need to use more of these -->







Meh fuggit. I'll be you're huckleberry. (see what I did there for those paying attention still?)

I now return you to your regularly scheduled weirdo prepper truck guy discussion....

 

Bingo. Those thin pages catch easily

 

thats pretty disrespectful of anyone to do to any book.

or burning them. you know, its one thing not to believe, or not to agree.. and then to just be jerks. the premise of this thread was doomsday prepping your vehicles and families? the intolerance and ignorance that leads you people to burning and shooting books is the same kind thats going to lead you to have to defend and protect yourself and your families when shit hits the fan.

i hope youre not teaching your children to be this way. my bug out preparations are only partially complete

 

to be clear, i dont subscribe to religion in general. i tried not to focus on any one person/comment.. the burning/ass wiping comments were just as distasteful in my opinion. everyone wants respect but isnt always prepared to give it.

after ten years of a war im just a little ...weary.. of the hate and disrespect. that wasnt a personal jab at you, beavis. im sure youre otherwise very charming

 

My well pump blew up ($4K, fml) and we quickly figured out exactly how much water we need a day. 3 gallons a day for two people is luxurious. One gallon per person is really more realistic. I keep 30 gallons or so stored at the house (live 150 yards from the creek), but in the rigs one 7 gallon container is all we need for a few days. If I can't find water in Oregon in three days I deserve to be worm food. When I lived in the Mojave desert I had all the waterholes marked on the map. I would do the same in Texas for sure. On my first deployment I went 53 days without a shower or running water. The importance of babywipes cannot be emphasized enough.

 

That's a good idea too, but it gets balls cold here and I don't have room inside for a container that big, although I could put it in the attic for gravity feed....

 

Zactly. It takes a lot of energy to turn a -20F block of ice into water.

 

i keep 15 or so store bought gallons in the house. im looking into some 55gal plastic drums for rain water collection and then purification like this:

Thanks for the link, I was going to ask if it was BPA free, now I know. Great find

 

I live in San Angelo but not in the military anymore. Did 9 years of various crap. Went to the Fire Academy in Amarillo in 2001.

 

I have an access cab as well and the 10/22 takedown. I'm,looking to build a small platform behind the passenger seat to keep things in place but where I still have access to the storage bins. I think the vertical idea is right on target.
