Gentlemen, I belong to a sci fi club here in the DFW area, that does a lot of camping. A few friends of mine have expressed interest in some PSK's if I put them together for them. I need to find a local supplier for the items I need, and if not local, at least one that has everything from the 1 dram teflon coated bottles to the swedish army flint and steel. Any Suggestion's?.........Krell

Ebay, and be patient.
Does anyone remember John D. McCann's website address? I think he had a good price on some of the odder small odds and ends.

Hey Krell, There's a fellow over at the following website, http://thesurvivalist.tripod.com/that's got surplus gear that he's giving away for the price of shipping (no it's not too good to be true, last I knew, he was willing to ship COD). After that, I'd check out http://www.countycomm.com/They've got all sorts of gear at good prices, and I've dealt with them a quite a few times, and so fa, have always been happy. After you're done shopping those two places, work up a list of specifics, and I'll see what I can do to help steer you in a good direction <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />. Troy

I live in Dallas (in the city) and I know of no such place anywhere in DFW, unfortunately. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> The place that would come to closest to having everything in one location would be the REI off LBJ between Welch and Midway. That said, I (reluctantly) order 75% of my stuff online. Sorry... If you find a better place than REI, be sure to share the info. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Troy, I Appreciate the word!.....didn't find the Gentleman on the Survival site, but the County Comm definitely has my attention! Again, Thank's for the help......even though I'm not exactly a Newbie to the world of Survival, it's been a while, and I can use all the help I can get.

Brian,
Thank's for the help, it's much Appreciated! I had the web address to a place I found in New York(?) that had almost everything I could have thought of using, but when I had to purge my PC a few days back I lost it. Something along the name of "Survival Resources" or some such. If I find it again, I'll pass it along!

Try it again, and check out the forums section, there're several posts regarding the "freebies".

That's the one I was thinking of. Thanks. I lost it when I had to repair some virus damage, or I would have posted it myself.
