    I have an Aventon Pace 500 NG e-bike. Does anyone know if this or any model will function after an emp?

    Our rig is pretty much done, our trailer is a 1969 Chevy C10 short bed that's a beauty! lol! The stripping and restoration starts this weekend and it's gonna be a labor of love. I wanna see your DIY trailer builds...not a bought trailer. Preferably a service or utility bed converted into your...

    Been gathering, preppin and preaching for many many years. However, now I find myself trapped in the city with no way out and really no support group I can count on. Some say yeah, yeah we'll do this or we'll do that but they don't do anything, what should I do? Stay sunburnt my friends!

    in this thread So who actually going to try and STAY in the city the poster mentioned being stuck in Florida and could only go so far on a tank of gas. I wondered if it would be feasible to store gas in a storage unit. got me thinking; storage units for pre-deployed caches? ***GOOD 1) if your...

    I am interested in learning more about survivalism. I have done some research on things to increase my comfortability, survival rate, and such but there is so much stuff out there with so much made in China that reliability seems to be questionable. The last thing a person needs is to try and...

    I am forever revising my packs. I just never seem to find what I think would be the most organized way to pack them up unless I buy something like packing cubes. Those don't even 100% fit the bill. At one point I simply used ziplock bags for some stuff, but those either wore through or held...
  7. Rifle Forum
    Hey folks, I've been carefully doing research on the web for a good all-around rifle to purchase and start tightening up my groups at the range. Would like something that would be useful in a survival situation. Yes, I am aware that hunting vs. combat would have different requirements, but...
  8. Urban Survival
    I have been hearing of rumors of massive tunnel systems under most large cities such as San Fransisco, New York Los Angeles and Las Vegas. This made me wonder, in areas where bugging out may be nearly impossible due to the traffic and possible violence that may be occurring in the streets, would...

    So I felt compelled to share this -- twice we almost bought this home, but both times decided against it. But we're very familiar with it. It's bank owned (a foreclosure) that's set empty for almost 4 years. The bank has done a great job of maintaining it. It's a large home, about 2300 sq feet...

    CACHE What to Cache and Preserving a Cache. If you absolutely have to leave, and your home is destroyed or you cannot get to your BOB, it would be wise to have supplies stashed in a remote location. The only way to keep them safe would be a cache buried in some wilderness area, deep enough to...

    6 years ago, I had an idea to create a tool that could aid preppers in choosing their ideal Bug Out Location. After much work, revision, and feedback from this community, I proudly presented my BOL Mapping Tool. While it would only serve as a fun mental exercise for me, the hope was that others...

    Told to prepare to evaluate because of a nearby forest fire. It took 3 hours to get all valuables into the truck and moved to a safe ĺocation. I have far too many guns! :) Much different from a societal disaster, but certainly revealed areas for improvement. Would recommend it as an exercise...
  14. South African Preppers
    For awhile now I've been plotting 'disappearing for a weekend... And decided that it would be this weekend... After much satellite imagery perusal I picked a spot and organised to be dropped off... :D: Of course, as it would be, this weekend was one of the wettest and coldest I have experienced...
  15. Disaster Preparedness General Discussion
    Hello everyone! How many of you have actually done a field test with your bug out gear? I have to admit, that I have not tested my actual BOB and its contents overnight. I have gone on some backpacking trips and have used a lot of my gear that is currently in my BOB...But I have not done a...
  16. Firearms General Discussion
    Due to budget lately I'm sadly restricted to $300 for a long gun and can't decide between a 12 guage shotgun (pump) or a mosin nagant.What are some pros and cons of each? Haven't seen a mosin worth buying locally but I saw a used Remington 870 at gander mountain yesterday for $199 and I'm very...
  17. Firearms General Discussion
    Pros and cons of shotguns vs a 22 rifle for a secondary long arm in a bug out shtf scenario. Would the extra weight of a shotgun and ammo be justifiable as it's "more suitable" for a defensive scenario?
  18. Disaster Preparedness General Discussion
    I'm thinking of purchasing a large piece of land in Canada and partitioning it off into sections. Preppers could lease a parcel as kind of a SHTF insurance. People who live in big cities, can't afford to outright buy land, people from the US who might want to leave the country could use it as...
  19. Disaster Preparedness General Discussion
    Anyone ever had to bug-out? I'm not talking about being in the military and being ordered to but actually bugging out. Fortunately I don't live in a hurricane or tornado prone region so I have no real point of reference.

    I didn't want to start a new thread. But all threads on this topic were from 2009. So here it is... I own 2 of the Modular Sleep Systems. They came with a patrol bag that provides cold weather protection from 35 to 50 °F (1.67 °C to 10 °C). The intermediate bag provides cold weather protection...
