Havent been on here in forever and just saw my old post. Since then I have added and changed... everything lol.
As far as knives I am running a Surefire Edge right now and Ive got a few benchmades and other Kershaw blades laying around. Picked up a Rat RC-4 and a Fallkniven A1 for my trusty fixed blades. Ive built a ton of fires and shelters with the RC-4 and its good to go.

The firearms(and ammo) have grown exponentially. Not sure how many handguns I own anymore. Picked up and M&P15 MOE a few years back and picked up a Daniel Defense V7 a couple weeks ago and im about to build an AR pistol.

Water is being added to a few gallons at a time plus weve put up rain collection barrels at my parrents and Ive got a 55 gallon in the back yard now Ive gotta set up here. Also picked up a Katadyn Vario to keep in my truck(Daily diver/BOV which has also been upgraded to a new Nissan Xterra thats been beefed up to handle all the offroading and camping we do)

Also added a bunch more and im getting ready to put together a plate carrier/ ammo carrier I think im gonna start it off with a shellback banshee. Still working on that one though.

Wow. This post was very informative. I've been reading it for the last couple weeks and here at the end I was convinced to create an account on these boards so I could post this. Very excellent quality.

PLA are you still around? I don't see a post on this thread since March of 2011. If you see this, thanks a lot for all the various tips and more importantly for explaining why you made what decisions you made. Thanks also for pointing out usrsog.org, I've read lots of excellent information there as well.

PLA, I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your sharing of knowledge!! I think I've learned more from reading your threads than many days searching the net for survival info.

Opinel knives: amazing value, made in france, razor sharp, good carbon steel, great for cleaning small game like fowl.
