Any fellow survivalists utilize their truck?

Wow, this is a long thread. I think it took me a few weeks to read all of it. I do believe that I have one of the Foxfire books, just not sure and can't check from work. My advice, take advantage of all this information on the internet, and download as much info as you can. Then, as you get time, print it all off, and put in binders. I probably have 2-3, 3" binders full of printed off information, from a variety of topics that I believe will be of use to me when the SHTF.
A lot of people store websites to info in their favorites and what not, but this may not always be available to you when you really need it. I consider my binders to be some of the most important preps that I have. The human brain can only store so much information before you start forgetting little details, so a printed hardcopy is great insurance. I would suggest, as others have, Survivalblog.com as a great resource. You can get to an index of articles people have submitted that is very long with good information and broken down by topic. I have printed a lot of this out as well as various other bits and pieces. Do it now, while you still can.

 

Yes sir.

I have a foxfire book somewhere,forgot where I put it. It's the volume where it shows how to make stills.

You can still get the entire series,at only 23$ savings. Cool to see they're still available.

 

And now I feel like I have to defend myself and it will most likely get me banned. So be it, I have no control over your choices. And I didn't break any rules here. And I don't have a "political agenda" as one of you mentioned. Maybe you do, therefore you are trying to classify me as having one to dismiss my legitimate comments. Again, your choice.

And I'm sorry you completely misunderstood what I wrote. But I don't have any control over how you see the world. The last thing I want to do is talk about politics.

As mentioned earlier, I'm not blind to the fact that politics and everyone/everything involved with that, greatly effect all of our lives and we all need to prepare for said effects. I'm sorry a lot of you can't see that. I didn't "create an elaborate justification". That's ridiculous! And I'm not that smart.

I simply stated the truth and discussed how I am "prepping" for the future based on how these people are shaping the world we live in. It's one part of how I'm preparing to survive the future, natural disasters, economic collapse, etc, etc...

And being debt free is a legitimate survival topic!!! Probably more important than a lot of the topics in this thread. And a topic that is greatly discussed on many of the survival websites along with how politics are shaping our world. I'm not a pioneer here and I don't have an "agenda". Again, ridiculous.

As I said in my other post and since this will most likely be my last post here...good luck to all and God bless America.

Take care guys and gals.

 

as long as you leave these key words out you should be ok: democrat, republican, left, right, obama, political agenda.

 

BAN!

Ill probably get a spyder co or a kershaw. not sure on the model though

 

That one quote is just a sample of the folks who think you can discuss survival without discussing politics. Talking about politics is verboten on TW...so you clearly did something wrong.

You've got 4 days and a PM to think about - If you can't realize that you are in contravention of the rules - then you are better off not posting. When the current ban lifts- Think carefully about what you post. IF it's so important to you to bundle political commentary into your discussion of survival topics - Do us all a favor and find another site.

 

I have had this one for a few years now its a good pocket carry knife big enough for everyday tasks and small enough to make it convenient to carry.

zombie..you cant go wrong with the Benchmade Griptillian. axis lock. and it comes in two sizes.

the new Benchmade 755MBR uses M390 steel, which is unknown to me. i have seen this knife first hand, and it is an absolute tank!! the lock is bomproof.

my next knife will be a ZT350 or something. i like the tigerblade model.

 

way to expensive for my liking I dont want to spend over $50 haha

I like the looks of this one

Benchmade?

+1 for benchmade... best lock on the market. I also like my kershaw, but you get what you pay for.

 

I'd just be afraid of losing it!
I had a pair of spy sun glasses ($135) and I fucking left them at chuck e cheeses Im not bad about losing things (I promise!) but when it does happen it pisses me off! haha

for my use i dont think a $100+ knife would do anything for me that a $50 knife wouldnt. I do appreciate the advice though

 

I've got the one volume on how to make stills. I didn't know they were in electronic version. If you're familiar with the entire series,should I get all of them or certain volumes? I prfefer paperback.
Thanks.

 

I'll have to check out one of these benchmade knives. I've fell in love with Knives of Alaska. I'm sharpening my cleaver right now on a new soft Arkansas stone,10"x2-1/2". KOA has a line of folders now also.

 

heres most of my collection,all but the folders. includes 3 custom made don norton knives with custom made shieths from jasper georgia

 

look like you sharpen your own knives....ive been wanting to do it and have the stone and leather for it but i dont know hom much pressure to use when pushing the blade down the stone? how hard to you press?

. . . Sub'd

Not hard,let the blade do the work. Keep honing oil on it all over stone. Try to slowly shave the stone,watch the oil,you'll start shaving oil
Keep oil on stone,if oil gets dirty,wipe It off to keep stone clean.
