I have used 5.11 clothing at work for about 4 years.
Cool to hear something about clothing as an item of concern. In everything i've read and all the shows online all the talk is aimed at firearms and ammo, food and water and shelter. I started a long time ago stocking up on clothing items. Everything from winter to summer clothing including extreme winter stuff because I am between the flatlands where all the small towns and cities are so if I have to leave I will most likely be headed up in elevation to the sierra nevada mountains so I have to prep accordingly. Jackets, boots, tactical pants and socks. some of the jackets have been modified by myself. I love pockets so a few of them have many added pockets.
The only thing when the time comes is what to take and how much can you carry.

Thats some nice country you are in, A man can disappear up there, sounds like you have things covered. The rope work i feel would give you a upper hand on a lot of people. You can go up and down where most can't.You can Haul gear to high ground, Thing is you are going to have to have a partner. A partner that you can trust with your life. I have been climbing with my brother for 15 years and it is one of the greatest things ever. I would suggest trying to hook up with some one that can teach you the basics. No book will be a substitute for being on the rock. Let me look around i think i have a pdf on rock climbing knots, if i do i will send it your way.hell diver lake? I'm just west of Kings Canyon and Sequoia Nat'l parks @2700'. I'll have to look at my map for this lake. I moved here from San Jose in 1990 and spent every minute I could hiking, biking and 4 wheelin everywhere from Lake don pedro to Bakersfield. currently I spend alot of time near Kings Canyon, out of park limits in the forest practicing skills and building various types of shelters with my 24yo son. I have a cool survival bible which we train from. It's so big it would take years to learn everything in it and since it covers every corner of the globes possible locations, climates and areas so we concentrate on where we are covering all the seasons here. There's plenty in them thar hills to survive and we have to consider that the mountains could well be a place that many may head to so it brings up other concerns of surviving too. At least I know my way around most places and have been used to understanding the dangers involved with hiking in various types of terrian up there. I've been to mammoth from cedar grove and june lake loop from edison. It's been several years since I walked over but skills are retained. Even the rope rescue training with the dept that has motivated me to do more rope stuff.
I want to find out where Hell Diver Lake is........Maybe i'll use google, i'm curious.

“The Ultimate Outdoors Book” By Paul Tawrell. It's the same book I have. $20 bucks or so and very much worth the money
http://www.amazon.com/Camping-Survi...8&qid=1364064895&sr=1-1&keywords=paul+tawrell
If you want to learn how to be reliant on nature wherever you go in the world this book will show you how in detailed text and diagrams/pictures.t
I could go on and on about what is covered but in a few words, the best survival education tool ever.u
Get it, you will not be disappointed.
FYI, this book sells like hotcakes but amazon does their best to keep them in stock. Today they have only 7 in stock. It's one of their best sellers.

Hi Savageagle many thanks for your ost im sure the book will be all you say it isHello Mike, haven't been on regularly but I have a post sharing some stuff about medicinal plants. I'll check it.
The book is available online i'm sure or at book stores. It's not that old. It's about 1 1/2 inches thick and covers EVERYTHING. About 50% of everything I have read so far is new to me and being an avid outdoorsman I spend alot of time in the mountains doing things that most do not do. I go off the trails and love to use a regular compass or just use the stars, the moon and visual references to get around. I had to practice most things but I've always had a good sense of direction.
Anyway, i'll post again in a few minutes after I get the book so I can give you the name, publisher and any other info I can get. For me this book is a "must have" as it really does teach a person to be completely reliable on nature for food, shelter, safety, emergency medical stuff, how to make your own clothes, start fires, signaling and much much more.
Post again in a few..............................
