Santa and everyone else ignored my need for a decent camera this year. While I didn't get anything survival related for Christmas, I did recover some items I had stored on the old family farm over in Arkansas. I guess recovering this stuff sorta counts as "getting" survival related stuff.
One sealed shiping container (the thermoplastic cases like oversized Pelican cases) holds my NBC detection gear and decontamination kits and manuals, and several of the mini survival kits I had mentioned a while back, as well as a couple of Nam era water bladders/floatation bags which may or may not be good now.
Another container is filled with aluminum camp cookware picked up at yard sales over the years, and some huge candles surplussed from a church, and something I had forgotten, a ziploc bag with two jumbo cans of lighter fluid with spare flint packs taped to them, and three zippos with one new spare insert complete.
A third container has five military wool blankets, three more arctic milsurp sleeping bags, and three civilian light weight bags. I think there are ECWS clothes in there too, including flier's leather palm mits and liners, quilted flight suit liners, and mickey mouse boots with felt liners. Several changes of BDUs and M-65 field jackets with liners and fur hoods, three or four surplus ponchos with quilted liners, and a couple of tanker helmet liners and knit watch caps.
Not really sure what else is in there. I glanced thru them, then latched and stashed them in my toolshed for now. I'll have to go back in a few weeks to pick up the rest of my gear. There should be several sealed dewat detcord cans filled for cache lines. All of this stuff has been sealed up rodent and bug proof for ten years, but I am sure that some of it is no good by now.
Does this stuff count?
