Clothing (supplies for the long term)

[Brent S]

I figure I have 20 yrs at best left. No crystal ball here, but going on averages with consideration on health factors. I wear simple things and couldn’t care much for anything formal. Durable is important though. I stocked up on jeans, pocketed tee shirts, socks, underware and socks to make it that long. I also got several pairs of sketcher sneakers and a couple pair of good Justin boots. I’m more worried an economic collapse where getting supplies may be difficult than my lifespan. With the shape the world is in right now I’m glad I’m nearer the end of my life than at the beginning.

We have said that to each other numerous times of late. My husband said all the men in his family died in their 50's with heart problems. He's 75 (has A-fib and is T2 diabetic) and reminds me all the time he's been on borrowed time for 20 years. Wouldn't want to be in my 20's with what the future looks like to me right now. When we decided to not have children (and consequently no grandchildren) little did we know just how insightful that decision would be in light of current events.

Regarding belts, I like this place, belts can be ordered with 7 holes 1 inch apart or 9 holes 3/4 inch apart.

Bought two carry length 9 at 3/4.

What a difference a 1/4 in makes for a good fit.

(Big Paul comment above ) When we travel with our caravan we strap down a 20ly bucket with washing in ( soap & water in ) , all the hard work done whilst on the move, spent 9 months driving through Africa worked well , could do the same in any another vehicle that you use

I've got a lifetime of boots; Filson, Whites, Redwing and Sorrals. I wear mostly Carrhart pants and flannel shirts in winter and Carhartt shorts and short sleeve shirts in summer. Every few months I buy a few more shirts and pants. Figure I have enough to last for many years. My heavy cold weather coats are Filson, Carrhart and for really cold weather I've got a goose down filled parka with a coyote lined hood. Can't remember the manufacturer right now.

For well made gloves I buy from Sullivan gloves. They're made in Bend Oregon.
