I am new to this site but not to the subjects (25 years). I currently live in NE Fl. Having survived three hurricane hits and watched 12 tornadoes go by, my PSK has changed drastically, again and again and again ....... I also have ocassion to be in areas that would be prime subjects for 911 type hits. How about some discussion on kits aimed at those subjects. Oh, I sold my doney cart so make them portable (had to eat the donkey, no MRE's in kit).

Welcome to the site, you will find that it is full of knowledgable people, lots of viewpoints on any topic.
I would suggest that you use the search function for previous discussions on kits for just such areas and occaisions.
There is an incredible amount of information in old threads.
If you have already read through this, my apologies.

No comment is wasted. I have only been a member two days and have logged about nine hours already. Addict???

LOL I imagine Donkey is tuff meat. Probably lean though if you worked him hard before you ate him. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Welcome to the forum!

Hey, you are well on the way to becoming a regular here!

I have ETS et as my home page. I spend at least four hours a day in here poking around looking for info. Everytime I see a new post it is like Xmas all over again.

When you use the search page, be sure to set how far back you want the search to go. The default is newer than 1 week.

Don't know which thread this should tie to so I'll put it here.
I needed light weight bobbers for a fishing kit. No matter how I cut the styrofoam ones they didn't fit. I am now using foam ear plugs in the fishing kits. The orange ones are easy to see and I can cut them for what ever weight I need. In Florida fishing kits are entertainment as well food source. Comments?

Ear plugs sound very resourceful to me, great idea!
No pun intended.

The ear plugs sound like a great space saving idea and I can't wait to try them out. I'll be picking up a pack later today - now to find a time to try them!

Me too.
I kno the local wally world has the orange earplugs, visiting there today.

Found some interesting stuff to add to my kit, making a rain cover to my orange emt fanny pack.

I always kind-of thought of a bobber to be something so easy to improvise (piece of wood, etc) that I never really considered putting a bobber in the kit. However, the earplugs are the best idea I have ever heard as far as man-made bobbers go. I'm going to give them a try this weekend and see how they would with 1/16 and 1/32 weights.

Think of visibility. The stick looks like a stick in the water. In my larger kits a even throw in some small bells for night fishing. Texas, channel cat fillets.

Yeah, got to watch them dates. Went back to far and found posts from Sgt Mike on trench warfare survival.

I usually run searches for all posts & do a quick scan of the headers.

FWIW, I'm not that old...
