Baofeng

So I’m looking to add a radio to my kit. I’m thinking of the Baofeng 5 mini. Maybe two in the event my group and I have to separate at any time. I dont have a HAM radio license but I do plan on getting it. If shtf I’m using it regardless.

What Baofeng would you recommend for good distance and mobility? I’m asking because there are a few good prices on Prime Deals.

Florida Straw

What up all?! I’ll be moving to Florida in the Autumn months and I plan on wearing my straw hat because of what I’m expecting the warm weather to be until December. Heck, I think I should be good during the winter months in my straw too! Any Floridians that can attest to my predictions?

Quality Leather Belt

Hi ya’ll! I’m looking for good-quality western belt recs. Full-grain leather is preferred. I hate thin leather belts, they conform to the jeans instead of actually holding them in place.

Where can I look??

Lee s/s Shirt

I don’t know if this is considered heritage wear but my local Walmart has these Lee short sleeve heavy cotton shirts for sale at $4.00. They have a few different colors and it feels like a decent piece to add to the closet especially at that price. Walmarts app still has it for ~$18 so maybe only in-store kinda thing.

Old Car

Hi everyone. A neighbor is looking to sell or get rid of an old car. It’s a 2007 Civic. Doesn’t start. They think it’s electrical issues. Anyone know of a place they can sell it? Junkyards etc..

Any Flyers fans in Florida?

I’ll be in Florida sometime during the early part of the season and would like to catch a game down there. Possibly in Tampa. Any Flyers fans living down south??

Shrade LB7

Hi all! I confiscated this knife from someone while I was working about a month ago. I put a bit of work into it. It barely opened without the jaws of life, wood was dry as heck and the blade wasn’t too sharp. I looked it up and discovered it was manufactured between 1980-81 which is awesome for a knife to still be in this shape after a little tlc. Seems the owner used it to hammer as you can see on the dents on the bronze edge. It gives it some character and tells a story about this knife’s life. Hopefully it’ll be parts of some of my future stories.

My first moc toes

I’ve own these for about 6 months now and wear them 3-4 days a week. They’re comfortable because of the insoles. They don’t feel as heavy as when I first started wearing them. Wearing them in the summer heat with some wool socks isn’t too bad at all either. My feet hardly sweat lol. I swapped the laces out for the construction boot two-toned yellow laces. I don’t wear them for work, more for style as I’m into heritage/western style. Has anyone else tried these?

*I’m not affiliated with this brand at all. I discovered them on Amazon and went down a short rabbit hole about their existence.*

Snack Storage

Hi all! I’m looking for a small storage box where I can keep snacks in my vehicle that wouldn’t allow rodents or insects to smell and try to make their way to find these foods.

I’m thinking of one of those Apache storage boxes from Harbor Freight or similar. Any recs?

Rodeo Trophy Buckle

Whats up all? I’m currently looking for a vintage 80’s pure brass western buckle on Ebay. I see a bunch of, what seem to be rodeo trophy buckles. If I were to get one of those and wear it, would it be considered a faux pas? I wouldn’t be walking around as if I placed 1st in any rodeos. I live in the North East and I enjoy the western style, that is all.

Let me know what you all think. Thanks!

Help with Filson bag

I was wondering if anyone had any info on this bag? I was browsing my local Goodwill and came across it so I had to purchase it. I paid $19.19 for it. Its in-tact, zippers function perfectly and seems to have all its straps. I don’t know how but the leather needs cleaning & conditioning because it feels dry and about three different shades of brown. I also think the waxed canvass could use a cleaning but I don’t know if cleaning it is a good idea because of the wax. Any info on this bag or tips on cleaning & conditioning would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!
