Please feel free to post discussions about survival here. Anything survival. Survival vehicles, bug out vehicles, bug out bags and locations. Stocking up and emergency preparedness. Food and survival gear discussions. Bugging in, bugging out.

I would like to give my opinion of two of the products that you sell, Troy. I have used both the wise foods meal kits and the write in the rain notebooks. They are both great products!

Thank you very much for the input. I have sadly never made a sale though but the store is there. I shut down the payment processor about a year ago when I went off the grid and had no time to work on the store.

I hope to one day be selling my own souvenirs on the site.

I suppose you could say I have a survival/bug out vehicle in the works. I guess this is the place to post about it. It's not as cool as MOMT SJ, because I don't have a solar setup on it or anything like that. I just had the engine rebuilt. (about 40 miles on rebuild as of today) It's going back for a nice paint job and a few other modifications right now. I will post all the details upon completion. (1988 jeep wrangler YJ 4.2L, inline six, manual trans)

Yes please do share. And keep us posted as you work on it. I love the SJ. It is an honor to be able to see it in person all the time.

This was the rustyness before we started the bodywork. I will get some new shots. Some of the photos are on my google+ page. I will post everything here. I need to get some shots under the hood. I will post the entire parts build sheet and anything else I can think of.

Now you are probably asking "What makes this a survival or bug out jeep and not just a jeep?" You will see, friends. You will see.

It's not all shiny with gobs of chrome, but it's right where it counts.
