Any fellow survivalists utilize their truck?

Just added this cold steel shovel to the truck. It's pretty stout and has awesome reviews

I love the end of the shovel description:

" If you are looking for the ultimate in utility and fighting weapons, the Special Forces Shovel is for you. "

 

That reminds me, my GF bought me this

Yep, pretty much the badest ass shovel out there.

 

Marry her.

 

THANKS!

 

If only rings cost the same as the crovel...........

 

+1million... couldnt agree more!!!

 

This is great advice.

 

Yeah I figured as much. Hopefully the preperations they have made have helped them and their family's and whoever they were able to help.

 

Yea and the blizzard right after didn't help. Some people in jersey were forgotten about,saw it on the news.

I guess having some 5 gallon cans of kerosene stashed would be good,for generator. But good ole wood stove would be a lot of help to many about now.

 

Hey guys, I could use some help with a Christmas present for my father in law. He is somewhat a survivalist and is into being "prepared". I was going to order a Crovel on the previous page but my wife shot that idea down. Any suggestions would be helpful.

 

what's the budget?

 

Budget would help - along with what level he is at now. General ideas would be a good first aid kit - solar panel for charging AA batteries for radio/phone - pair of FRS walkie talkies...if he has guns - magazines or a good cleaning kit. A pail of food from WalMart...just for some starters....I can provide links for any of that if it looks like it might be working...

 

Round $100, no more than 150. I was going to go with some MRE's but he has a large stash of those already and has moved onto buying bulk seeds.
Magazines are a good idea, he has multiple AR's and just bought a new Colt 1911 so possibly a new holster too.
Not sure if he has a Walkie Talkie so thats deff a possibility. Appreciate the help guys, wife had me so frustrated earlier that I couldn't even think of anything.

 

Good to help - here are some of the ideas with links...hint - maybe lay this around for a spouse/partner since Christmas is coming for all of us!!....

Here are five flashlights (tactical series) that are all under $100: http://www.lightjunction.com/eaglet...l.html?zenid=f11069d04f0a277a7e6052d1630ebccb

This is my EDC folding knife and I like it a lot -- it is a little more than $100 but you can find it under if you shop a bit:

I suggested things I have, and use, understanding that there are lots of brands and other ideas out there...

Can't go wrong with MRE's or other stuff -- but a light, or knife, is a little more personal and makes the user think of you each time s/he uses it....all IMHO....

 

Anybody familiar with the knife sharpening section at bass pro? I'm needing a large 8x3or bigger Arkansas stone. I found one on eBay,but haven't pulled the trigger. EBay will keep me out of the store.

 

I have a few Arkansas stones but the wife got me the spyder co sharp maker system a year or so back and I freakin love that thing. Puts a nice edge on real fast. Check them out.

 

Sorry to hear about your truck!! That is a good choice of gun (IMHO) -- it is what I chose. I was just down at Federal Way Discount -- since they moved - WOW!! Threw a scope on mine -- happy!!!



Where do you shoot???
