Personally my extreme limit would be 10 if I knew they had been stored well. But I haven’t seen any info on people eating mres that old im not counting it out. Past ten years freeze dried would be my choice except for Mylar stored grains and white rice
I have an original rayo driving lamp patent date 1912 it has a clear magnifying lens on the front and a red lens on the back the perforations on the reflector to light the rear lens noticeably and it projects a very clean circle of light out the front perfect for a horse-drawn buggy
Yes this is a remake i don’t feel it’s as heavy duty as old originals. Light is acceptable and burns efficiently. I use one in my shed all winter actually 2 for light if i work late. As a heater for soup and such its pretty lame but better than nothing if you can’t get a fire to make coffee.
Pharma company was not sure where to even recycle them, i said all take ‘em all,, got em free they paid $ 4,700 for all three original it was a lucky moment! Right place right time and I always look for materials to use for raised beds.
$200 lens covers? Now we're in Eotech territory, I would like to have a Leupold but for a tad more I can get into Aimpoint/ Trijicon or Eotech 512, I would find aftermarket lens covers, butler creek, monstrum make good ones, though the front lens on the Leupold is 32mm?? I believe, may be a bit harder to find bur not impossible. I'm still on the fence 🤔
There are a dozen of companies making these. The company’s that sell to us military are definitely best it takes some background research on them. I just got some some cheaper then first and they were excellent and only a year old. Not cheapest but far from most expensive o order 10 every 3rd month as a rule as they get past use date I take them to lunch for work.
These are nice I have this as well, I tell you one tarp I fell in love with is the DD Hammocks 4x4 (meter) tarp - It is light, it is waterproof, it as easy to put away as it is to set up AND it is BIG with plenty of room to spare.
I have 2 presto 16 1 presto 23. They range in age from 50 to 5 years. All work perfectly. I have 3 AAs. I like them but they are a pain on the ass to get the lid on even. If the lid is not even it will leak steam like crazy.
I agree it depends on whos canning I don’t mind fussing with American , girlfriend only uses presto electric it makes all the guesswork gone. I tell people if you really ding Americans lip bad it wont seal. I use American for big jobs 14 quarts makes it faster i use a camp chief propane outside
20 min to heat an inch of water in that little pot. Kinda silly. I have noticed that the size of the lamp isnt as important as the size wick. 3/8” wick means decorative lamp. 1/2” not much better. 7/8” and your getting about 12 candle power that is significant light. Wick size not mentioned here.
If it is NOT capable of boiling water, it is almost worthless in a survival, or camping situation except for the light it gives off. All of that extra trim and weight is useless. Certainly not worth that price. A Dietz #80 "Blizzard" Hurricane lantern is the way to go for light and a Coleman 533 Dual Fuel single burner stove for boiling water and cooking, would be a good combination. For real powerful lighting, go with the Coleman #639C kerosene lantern, Northstar, or #295-700 double mantle Dual fuel lantern. Those three put out tremendous light.
@@everydaysurvival157 lanolin oil is a natural component in wool. The sheep has it naturally and it does not hurt to use on wool plaid or other wool items either. Note that when you wash the wool you do remove the lanolin oil too.
@@everydaysurvival157 but og course with depend on what you are going to use your wool items for. It is smart when you are using your wool plaid and clothing out in the field. At home or might be a little to much due to the smell.
@everydaysurvival157 I machine wash all my wool. Cold. Gentle/delicate cycle. Kookaburra Wash which restores the lanolin oils and softens and freshens up the wool fibers without damaging them. Also adds Tea Tree oil which smells great to me (some folks don't like the scent) and is a natural repellent to insects, particularly moths, wool's mortal enemy. Then I let hang and air dry after the wash. No dryer..... although some blankets are safe to machine dry like Faribault Woolen Mills blankets. For the blankets with long nap, like the antique Hudson Bay's, right after the wash, I'll lay the blanket flat on the floor and use a fine pet wire brush upside down to gently brush the nap out both sides and fluff it up. Smells, looks, and feels great after that.
@@williamfagerheim1817 Kookaburra Wash preserves/restores the lanolin oils in a machine wash.... just in case you ever wanted to check that out 👍. Obviously, hang/air dry after, not machine dry.
Ive been looking at this tarp for awhile now but could never find any reviews or vids of anyone using it. This is the first. I like all the tie offs they i corporate and it looks solid. Just orderded one finally!
Do NOT buy from Bearhard. Their "thermal" tarp LEAKS along the mid-seam and their "customer service" is AWFUL. Avoided my emails, and provide NO customer service phone number! Nothing! They refused to replace it, or even offer an apology. Please do NOT send BEARHARD any $. They took my $ and ran, and they'll do the same to you. SCUMBAGS
I wanted a Space Blanket style but they're crinkly & fragile I also wanted a square 10x10 tarp in a earth tone I got an ultralite poncho size 5x7 and they're just too small I like COVERAGE! then I found Texas Bushcraft it's both a standard tarp & space blanket I guess you could put the silver outside in HOT weather they you'll look like Lost In Space! haven't used it yet but it looks good not many reviews on this... interest to hear about long term usage
Used twice this Summer. Its best tarp I’ve owned, quiet and it took a hour downpour zero leaks . Two of use fit easy very hot day, tent was not a option, i used my old 6x8 on ground.
My guy this is an older Milwaukee brushed motor grinder that consumed more than double the energy of the brushless more powerful model and you at least need a 4AH battery for it to make sense to add to bugout bag
Thanks for sharing. I have all my starters waiting to go in the ground. My sister set up a similar green house, in the house and had issues with mold. Make sure u have a couple fans blowing in your green house to prevent mold. Thanks for sharing.
I canned 3 -14 quart batches of green beans it still has propane. You don’t have to get small ones all those places sell 60 pd tanks too twice as large as typical grill tank thats all im buying now. You should have more then one if you can i have several i store them in building away from house. But these tanks are proven safe millions of them across usa
