SwedeSteve · 10-02-2009, 05:12 PM

That's a good basic list.

BunnyWabbit · 10-02-2009, 05:21 PM

What about food and water?

larmus · 10-02-2009, 05:34 PM

BunnyWabbit · 10-02-2009, 05:50 PM

I wasn't being sarcastic. Just thinking of bottled waters and some prepackaged foods, even candy bars.

Archetype_wyo · 10-02-2009, 05:56 PM

You can get 20lb bags of rice, canned tuna, dried beans and things along those lines at decent prices.

SwedeSteve · 10-04-2009, 05:40 PM

Where REX is, I'm a thinkin some food, but he won't need a lot.

Metronome · 10-04-2009, 10:00 PM

That is a comprehensive list, but I don't know how I will fit that in my hatchback... for now I will stick to bic lighters, cup-o-noodles and duct tape.

sea_chicken1 · 10-04-2009, 11:14 PM

For christ sake you gotta have duct tape.

larmus · 10-05-2009, 02:31 AM

... and bailing wire, dont forget the bailing wire now ya here...

SwedeSteve · 10-05-2009, 06:46 AM

You better have a pot and some water too. Dry cup-o-noodles sucks after a few days.

Rex in OTZ · 10-05-2009, 09:10 PM

I was amazed what they were able to capture some the old Appalachan history and the way's things were done, sulfer preserveing apple slices?
some good reading, boils down to gettintg things done with a minimum
thinking back on what the old coastals used subsist on was not all that much, sides they migrated to where the food was.
The Foxfire folks were grounded to ther private property and had limited resources. makes a fella think.

stinkybriches · 10-05-2009, 11:01 PM

id definatly want a couple of those big buckets of nails they sell at hardware stores. and a poop load of twine. and a bunch of tarps couldnt hurt either.

Rex in OTZ · 10-06-2009, 09:03 PM

Since I stated survival equipment not survival grub if you want one make a food one
If I had the room a acytaline torch rig.........till It ran out of gas.
a 5 foot pinch point steel bar works great for removing stumps just chop the roots (black spruce dont go that deep)
2-3 long wrecking/pry bars
a parrot bill nail puller
3# hand drilling hammer (short hand sledge)
3-4 steel wood splitting wedges
good cross cut hand (saw 2 man)
Froe
Foot Atz
Draw knife
Hand drill
Old fashoned 10-14" end nippers
coke fired forge and hand crank bellows
if a good anvil isant handy a 60# rock crusher tooth works just as good
Hydraulic hand powerd porta power.......with the jack attachment.
a good hand auger and wood auger bit index (double coverage on them bits for breakage)
14",20",30" pipe wrenches.....they work for pulling well caseing too.
not much argues with a good sized pipe wrench and cheater bar.
quality 6" bench vise with pipe jaw inserts a good vise can be used like a press for removing and installing bearings (drive lines&CV joints)
Spare saw blaeds for your Sandvik hand saw Bowsaw good for meat and wood.

seen some stuff in the Wade Garret catalog I'd hadent seen since my middle west farm sale day's

Rex in OTZ · 10-06-2009, 09:15 PM

I said 4 cans of Buhac powder make that a couple cases.

thrillbilly · 10-06-2009, 10:09 PM

Here's a list I made back in April.

I'm just thinking about how long the deer will last with everyone out hunting.

My plan is to have enough food stored to outlast the unprepared.

And enough ammo to keep the food.
