+1 for crossbreed. super comfy...

also, don't forget to check their "seconds" site where they sell ready-to-go holsters at a discount. usually its because someone tried it and returned it. i don't believe they have anything wrong with them.

Congrats, nice choice. Couldn't have gone wrong with either. I have both and love both. W. German factor should add a bit of collector value to it too. Thumbs up.

Thanks for pic cuda. That is a slick setup! I just checked and they don't have an application for me :( but maybe I can find something similar to that. I'm working with a 2015 subi forester as my dd. That gives me some ideas though to make something fit.

Not sure if everyone knows about this site yet, but it has come through for me during the shortage. It aggregates ammo in stock from various online retailers. You can search for powder and other reloading consumables here too. I like that you can set the "good deal" threshold to what you consider a deal and it will highlight those results for you.

 Thanks. Will definitely add some wetfire. I've seen it around but have never tried it.. Sounds like it would do the trick though.

If I had a 2m radio would I technically need to get a HAM license to use for practice? I was looking at a baofeng (?) I think on Amazon a while back. They all seem to have some sort of lithium ion power source though. Anyone know of ones that are operated with common battery sizes? Or what do you use? I imagine it could be hard to recharge depending on the situation and availability of an outlet.

Thanks for the insight Don. You're correct - Caleb or Chung, or both together in that order.

The med kit pictured has an Israeli type bandage but no quick clot. I have quick clot in a larger kit in my trunk. Based on your feedback I think I'll transfer a few more Israeli bandages to this pack and some quick clot product.

Curious as to what folks are using to secure a pistol in the car. I don't carry every day because work does not allow it. But I do drive a lot and would like one on hand in the car. I've just been worried about theft when parked in a lot away from home.

There was a small suunto compass in there as a backup to my etrex 30 which I normally use on outdoor treks. It is just a barebones compass though as I don't have a map in my pack.

Change of clothes includes wool socks. I didn't picture it but there is a beanie as well as mountaineering gloves too. No baby wipes or tp but both great ideas.

My car bag is kitted for myself mainly, but supplies could stretch to two. My bug out box is kitted for two. Interesting concept you shared on differently loaded bags being at the ready. I think based on that, I might transfer my bug out kit into a backpacking pack.

What do you typically use for camo paint/make up?

Just 17s and 19s for me as I've consolidated pistol calibers to mainly 9mm. I'll have to look into the ghost rocket mods. This place is the first I'm hearing of them.

That's a good price on mags!

As for me, I have just gone with an extended slide release and try to put trijicon HD's on every Glock. I am a huge believer in those sigjts.

Did I hear Glocks? Apologies in advance for going Lazarus on this thread  ;)  Is it weird, that they fit me well and I want them all? I've bought and sold plenty, but at the end of the day the Glocks stay. Not to mention to zombie apocalypse benefits of owning one and being able to find commonality in mags and parts with what I assume to be a large percentage of the population you will come across.

I'll play with two pair...

Hey guys -- I don't know about you but one thing I think about quite a bit is the composition of my get home bag (GHB) or bug out bag (BOB). As a result my opinion of it was always changing when I discover new gear or read a new blog -- but I think I like where it is now. The two concepts are closely related, but I was wondering if those of you who have some sort of go-bag differentiate between their purposes for getting home/to safety and bugging out.

My get home bag, which I wanted to share in this thread, lives in my vehicle. For me, it also doubles as my hiking pack (after removing some items depending on the excursion) since my friends sometimes head into the mountains when the mood strikes us. My daily life generally lands me somewhere within 20 miles of home. As such, I've considered minimalistic requirements for my GHB in terms of getting me from a random starting point to a predetermined end point -- going for lightweight and functional here.

On the other hand, my BOB (at home) is not really a bag at all and follows a slightly different philosophy. It is in a large tupperware ready to be thrown into the 4runner. My thought behind that was that if I am at home AND bugging out, it must have really hit the fan. Also, aside from a natural disaster centered at my location, I am banking on having enough time to carry said tupperware of life to my rig which has a lightly packed bag with plenty of room to spare (EDC pack from Triple Aught Design). I am calculating that my best bet away from my home will be driving for as long as I can reasonably keep a vehicle. If at a certain point I cannot head home, and I have to bail on my vehicle, I'll transfer what I need out of my BOB into my pack and be on my way. I guess, the way I treat my BOB setup is more akin to that of an INCH bag (I'm never coming home) -- just in case.

Anyways, just wanted to share my current philosophy and hear your thoughts on whether or not you differentiate between a car and home kit, and any action plans if disaster or national emergency strikes while you're somewhere on your daily routine vs at home.

My car bag below:
-Midsized Camelbak with 3L reservoir
-Full change of light, quick drying, warm clothing
-Warm, packable jacket
-SOL packable bivvy
-First aid kit
-Garbin eTrex 30
-Life straw
-Cliff bars
-Paracord
-Chem lights
-Black Diamond Storm headlamp
-Adventure Lights strobe/ir beacon
-Skinth EDC organizer with belt and molle attachments:
   -UST Sparkie/Bic lighter
   -Spare cr123's
   -Suunto clipper compas
   -Duct tape
   -Olight Mavrick flashlight
   -Leatherman MUT
   -Benchmade Griptillian

Good to have you. Thanks to this community I still have a BL-4 we can burn through some traps with. would love to get together for a shootout someday.

I just read the thread on that -- a very moving story and incredible outcome! Did not imagine the support group on this site. I'm down to shoot sometime and learn a few things. I keep missing the ones that launch to the right when I'm at position 5 (as a lefty). Very nice O/U btw  :D

Caleb, welcome to RMTW. Look forward to your contributions. Post some info on your reloading setup in the reloading area. Do you shoot the 300 suppressed?

Thanks all! Will do. Kyle actually built my reloading bench for me :D I'll get some photos up soon. I've got a sdn-6 waiting in jail for the 300.

Hey all - greetings from the PNW. I was referred to this forum by my friend and coworker, Kyle. I really like what is going on here from vehicles to survival, and the incorporation of a Christian foundation.

My main hobbies consist of motorsports, firearms and survival/prep.
Motorsports - I used to build up cars and race them during track days. Past machines include a built up e36 M3 and gen 1 Miata. I enjoyed doing my own work and as a result gained some hobby-level fabrication skills between a tig and a chop saw (pie slices ftw  ;D). However, those are now gone and I have taken an interest in expedition/overland setups. I'm on the hunt for a fjz80! Also, anyone here watch Top Gear (UK) or follow F1?
Firearms - I've got the bug... bad (thanks Kyle). My collection seems to be always-evolving, but I'm mainly a glock/AR guy. Recently got into reloading as well, mainly to make 300blk more affordable. I've also started trap shooting - hope to learn to actually hunt one day.
Survival/prep - Always good to have a backup plan for the backup plan for the backup plan for the plan right? I like discovering new tools and gadgets in the search for ideal EDC setups. Beyond that, I like pondering my car's get home bag and my home's bug out bag (or tupperware as it may be - because lets face it, if I'm leaving I'm going to get as far as I can in my vehicle before I start throwing things in my pack).

Anyhow, it is great to join this community. There seems to be quality people and a growing library of information. Hope to be able to contribute a bit too!

Caleb
