[Jerry D Young]

There are a lot of threads about one to ten items for people to choose. I figure 13 items might be easier than restricting it to ten or fewer items. Then again, it might be harder… Just curious what your 13 13s will be.

Name 13 of your favorite/would-like-to-have/consider mandatory items in the following 13 categories:

1. Modern Firearms
2. Primitive arms (pre-1800 design)
3. Knives and tools
4. Survival/self-sufficiency books
5. Fiction books
6. Wilderness camping items
7. Bug out items
8. Land vehicles
9. Water vehicles
10. Air vehicles
11. Communications devices
12. Storage foods
13. Financial/monetary investments

When i get some time at work tommorow im going to try and make a visual chart of the lists i want to do. Ill get back to ya on this great idea.

(you just love them lists dont cha? ) hehe

 

[I Buried My Guns]

Credit where credit is due.

Jerry is like a god to me. Not my Lord or Savior or anything like that (note the little "g") but still awesome.

I credit Jerry with getting me into survivalism and preparedness through his many works of fiction. His wisdom cannot be condensed into a single book; it would more likely have to be encyclapedic.

He is the Chuck Norris of Survival fiction: There is a prepper fist underneath that beard!
