    Land Navigation Course Rome, GA and Talladega, AL

    Yep- what @Rolling_trip said. Just taught my kids (18 & 17) a month ago. Day on the farm with compass and map. No phones. My daughter no longer requires GPS for every trip, said she felt empowered!

  4. SHTF questions

    Toilet paper! Hard to wipe your backside with dog food sacks! A roughed up pucker hole makes everything suck!

  5. Lessons learned from last weeks tornadoes

    Note on using Propane- Get a bottle blanket or wrap the cylinder, it will freeze up on you if you don't. Frustrating to say the least when there is a half a tank left, but the cylinder is frozen up.

  6. Lessons learned from last weeks tornadoes

    I built an enclosure off the garage for my Genny. Used one of the pre fab deck boxes-

  7. Water filters for survival

    Sawyer is cheap and reliable. Have them in all cars and go bags.

  8. Best affordable 2 way radios less than $100

    I have that set that Chris linked. Beware the accessories. Only 1 hand mike for the pair. Bao could not help, Amazon sent me another pair, had me take the mike out and send the rest back. Apparently a very common missing item. Radios are rock solid.

    Thoughts on this safe room build?

    Add this to the wood walls- https://www.mcmaster.com/9303T28/ And this for a door-...

  10. Radiation detection equipment

    I have been inside the research facility, mostly under water. THEY bulldozed and cemented over everything circa 1989, before that you could get in if you tried hard. The HOT building is still standing, used to rappel down that in college.

  11. Can you eat meat of animals you’re allergic to?

    I've had extensive exposure to the "science" of food allergies. (Divorce and custody issues involving food allergies) No issues with eating the meat of animals you are "allergic" to, dairy, dander, etc.

    Wood Gasification

    Jesse James did an episode on building a vehicle powered with this. Engine calibration was a biatch to get right.

    Yes. The 3/8' metal should stop it.

    Generator Thread ....When the power goes out...

    Costco has the Flame King 100# for $139 delivered. With the POL valve. My hose from tank to Gen has gauge on it.

  15. Propane/multifuel generators

    How much do you need wattage wise? With my electricians help, we got to about 5200 max for about 40% of the house. Kitchen with gas rangetop, one electric wall oven, microwave, ref/freezer, lights, outlets. Den with lights, tv, cable box, modem, router, ceiling fan, and outlets. Powder room...

    Generator Thread ....When the power goes out...

    Keep an eye on Costco, Black Friday they have the deals. I had to chase my $499 one for 3 stores. Folks were buying 3 or more at a time at the Brookhaven and Perimeter stores, got the next to last one at Cumberland Mall store.

  17. Propane/multifuel generators

    Remember those propane tanks will freeze up too. Get a tank blanket to remedy this. The 100 lb tank does not freeze up like the 20 lb ones do.

  18. Propane/multifuel generators

    This is my setup, it has Firman Dual Fuel setup inside. Costco for $499 2 years ago. 7200 running watts on propane. Got it running about a 1/3 of the house, kitchen, den, router, master bedroom, bath, water heaters and furnace. Runs about 40% load powering all that. 100 lb cylinder and 6 20 lb...
