Could You Build An Effective 72 Hour Bug Out Bag Using Only Walmart?

Good grief...

Hi @Cricket
Just circling our wagons, here.

[GoneSouth61]

I didn't come here to be offended, but to discuss a lifestyle based on taking care of yourself and family. Things I spent a lifetime learning about. Some of which came from 5 years in the Corps and 4 years in the USARes. I worked as a Tool/Instrument maker and designer, I worked as a gunsmith. I have parts in your cars and house.
What I didn't come here for, was to be told that some people can afford to shop at LL Bean, while those who can't are shipped off to Walmart because they waste their money on alcohol.
What doesn't surprise me is that the judgemental, better than you attitude comes from someone who includes "God" in his signature.
What does surprise me is that this site defends the bigot and belittles the guy who called him out.
You want to stand in front of me, gloves or not, we can work that out.
I don't take well to keyboard threats.

What got GoneSouth61 so worked up?

And what in the world happened for GS61 to throw out that someone is a bigot?

Someone please explain?!

And ….. he's back with more good will and words of wisdom, or maybe just the same old line. Aren't we the lucky ones?

[Lunatic Wrench]

Sure you could.
Building your BOB from Walmart is better then not building a BOB

Let me try to explain, that sometimes, things get read wrong, or life affects the way people read, and take in info.
No one here is a bigot, we just are a close knit family of like minded people.
And, the gloves of wasn't a threat, just a reference that on this site, we "play a little nicer" than we do on our cousin site.
Let me close with this "I like your spunk, I appreciate your service, I value you experience, BUT I don't like your attitude", does that make me not like you, NO.
You came to our playground, and got upset with one of our most respected members, and expect us not to circle around him?
Stick around, have a beer, let this thread "go away" and lets let the dust settle, and lets argue about some better shite!!!!

Life is just way too short to get hung up on the little stuff.

Thankfully we have a scroll button to move past those things/people that irritate us.

I concur with my good friend Donnie aka Deebo. Start a new thread about something that we all can sink our teeth into.

Now, for an insider tip for all of you wineheads here …. if you will send Deebo a PM and ask him real nice, maybe even say some nice things about him, he just might sell you some of his famous homemade jerky and ship it to you. Gotta get ya some, huh?

You don't shop at Walmart? That's fine. But some here do....You could start a thread all about doing whatever it is you do to prepare a 72 hour kit. I'd like that.

ETA: I have a lot of 72 hour bags for my family (I think 7 bages right now) and most of the stuff comes from Walmart.

Walmart has a lot of good stuff. Back in the sporting goods area they have a product called Stops Bleeding, and it does much cheaper than quick clot. I bought the stainless cook kit that I use with my homemade alcohol stove not too far from it. Right in the same area is the sawyer water filter in my bag, and the water proof plastic case my cheap Amazon night vision monocle is in.
