I just got this eating utensile the other day. I have a "hobo tool" somewhere too, but I don't think its in my kit. I really need to do another inventory! I just bought a signal mirror yesterday as well.... and a couple hundred rounds of 5.56 - not enough, but all that was left! I guess that all military type ammo is getting scarce lately.

hey diceman, how do you like that spork thing I saw them on line here and there are they any good or more of a gimmick?

How about a Scrap Yard Spork. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I saw one of those in the store, but I thought they looked kinda flimsy and cheap. I thought it was a neat idea though to have 3 utensils in one. My favorite silverware set is my Brunton titanium set. It’s really lightweight and strong. They’re a little under $20 on eBay. I also have a Ka-bar hobo chow set. It’s pretty neat too.

I have a titanium spork that I carry about with me in my pack. I use it more often than you would think.

Who has some pictures...I read it, but I want to see it fit. I just got 2 BOBs in and need to start packing them......Hurricane Season is almost upon me. June 1st-Nov 30th. 6 months of Hurricane season....gotta love Louisiana!

I'm working on it. I've still got more info to type up for you. I got real busy after I PM'd you wednesday night.

Love the Sig line!!!!

Ummm... the Orange Spork has yet to see any use from me. I'll throw it in the bag, I'm sure that it'll work. Not like I'm really going to cut anything with the "knife" edge on it. I have a cheap winchester hobo tool set, which is ok. I figure that if I'm just surviving, the stuff that I'm going to eat is going to be on a bone or else a plant, and I've never been much of a soup person. I don't think I'll need any utensiles other than a knife. I also have spoons in the MRE's that I'd keep as well. I just got the spork cuz it was $2 or something at Walmart!

Jason - When I re-inventory my BOB in a few weeks I'll take some pictures.

Here are some pics of some of my gear. I have 5 of these black plastic tubs filled with various gear. These tubs are able to sit out in the rain or snow and not leak. Most of them are self contained units each with a balanced supply of gear. I have one dedicated to ammo. In other words, each container has knives, fire starting gear, fishing gear, gloves, water bladders, backpack, cooking supplies, crobar's or machetes or multi-tools etc. This way if I can only take one tub with me, I have a well rounded mix of supplies.

I just took one of my tubs up this weekend for an over nighter and it worked great. My 4 year old ended up proving once again that he is a tough little man hanging in there with temps in the high teens. My 7 year old complained quite a bit, but he ended up hanging pretty tough, not like I gave him a choice.

J33psr0ck,
I love those Rubbermaid Action Packers! iirc they Float too! i gotta get me some more of those!


re: Antibiotics.
Is it true when folks say you can buy Antibiotics without prescription from Pet Stores?
i was just thinkin.. when crap hits the fan.. pharmacies would be all looted out of the good stuff.
Dunno about the other folks but sometimes it takes Weeks just to get an Appointment wiht my [censored] HMO doctor! let alone get a Prescription for something i Need!

I have a big tub for my gear too to keep in my truck. The one I use, and is the best one I’ve found, is a Rubbermaid Industrial Brute container. It’s like the standard Rubbermaid tubs, but MUCH stronger. I weigh 300 lbs, and I can stand on top of it on the lid without hurting it. It was like $15, and I got it at Menards.


Yes, also you can get meds at farm stores.
