Any fellow survivalists utilize their truck?

lets get back to the booooooooks!

just finished cyberstorm- man that was one of the best so far...could barely put it down as it didnt have any zombies or spuernatural crap

DJ Molles series is pretty good- when is book 5 coming?

 

If you like to read check out the "wool" series.

 

Along the book line. Anyone read "Lights Out" or "One Second After"? If these have been mentioned I apologize for being late to the party.

 

Those are good books. I like all the technical chat about c.b.'s, farming and such. Mine is is marked with high liters like crazy. Good reference books. Patriots is another good one.

 

Good call on Patriots. I agree they are good reads and references.

 

Yesssss! Patriots is amazing!

 

Those books make me hate going out of town for work without the family. I always wonder if I could make it back with my bag and glock 30. Sometimes I bring my Springfield M1A.

 

Anyone on here make their gen 1 taco emp proof? I figured it would be easier with a gen 1 because it has less electronics. Just a few parts you could swap out that fit in a box you could keep around.

 

I hear you there. I hate going away and leaving home for a few days at a time. My bag is always in the car though.

 

seems pretty legit.. my list is very similar. i added a lightweight sleeping bag, med kit that i put together (not one of those store bought band-aid packs), and a lifesaver water bottle for filtration...
im not a survival nut, just an eagle scout...

 

I've read "One Second After" and really enjoyed it. I actually liked it better than "Patriots".

 

Read both. I dont remember which is which but the one with the "mutant zombie bikers" was just ok... it got to "technical" for me.

One of my favorite series has been "

$1 Trudge (Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse Book 1)

surviving the zombie apocalypse"

 

I read one second after last year and loved it. Definitely a good read. Ive started workd war z and lights out is next in line. Cant wait to read it.

 

I didnt enjoy world war z at all. Super boring to me.

 

im not far into it and i've not been that interested in it myself. its been awhile since i actually picked it up

 

I thought you might like some of these bed storage mods that I am looking into. I have a fiberglass camper top and want to be able to install slide out drawers like these. But have a stationary platform that I can still sleep on top of without unpacking the entire truck.

If you like One second after, check out Alas, Babylon.

 

I just built mine. No drawers but I can utilize a lot of space and still reach the back

I went to a local lumber yard. They had Russian birch that came in 60" width - nice strong plywood also.

I ripped it down to 57 1/8" width and kept the length 60". I notched the edge (closest to the tailgate) where the bed comes in. Dropped it in and fit like a glove.

I put carpet over it and some coretrax so I can tie things down with. http://www.realtruck.com/core-trax-tie-down-track-system/
Got 2 sets of 48"

The russian birch seemed strong enough and didnt move much even with me on it - but I still ripped a 2x10" down to 2x9" (60" length) and ran it up the center for support.

Wood and carpet - $100
Coretrax: $150

 

I don't own a softopper anymore.
