Big Port Strike About To Begin
Get ready for a sh*show. The Teamsters were so bold as to tell Biden to stay the F out of it, not like he's gonna do anything anyway, he's out wandering a parking lot somewhere.

Preparedness for November to January.
There's an army surplus store in Idaho falls, great website too, where you can get very good equipment for excellent prices.

Idaho Falls isn't too far from me and I will be going there in a couple weeks. I looked up on Google and there are two different Army Navy supply stores. Which is the one that you recommend?
Thanks!
Laura
It's the Army Surplus Warehouse. There's a truck stop across the street to park at and leave yourself a bit of time to roam around because it's like walking into a Walmart of military surplus supplies. They're very nice people who can answer questions and steer you in the direction of things you might be interested in regarding preparedness.

For the most simple setup, you're going to need water and the ability to purify water. You can survive on simple food or no food for quite a while but water is a must. Medical supplies, a way to stay dry, compass or stand alone GPS and other things are a definite must. You also have to put it on and get in hiking shape because when you're on your feet, it's all legs at that point. There's an army surplus store in Idaho falls, great website too, where you can get very good equipment for excellent prices. Pack, medical kits etc can all be found on there.

I always have provisions in the truck as well as a 72hr bag in case something did happen where I had to potentially be on foot for an extended period of time. There are other things to that I keep for my own personal safety.
Robert, I found your comment interesting. I am thinking a 72 hr bag is also known as a bug out bag.
What items do you have in the bag? That is, just the items that are not secret. I think I might get one together for me.
I keep a decent sized trauma kit with clotting compound, bandages and 5 tourniquets. There's spare clothes, socks, a camelbak water bladder with water treatment. Poncho with plenty of shock cord to make shelter if need be, silky saw, dehydrated foods and 3 days of MRE's, fire starting supplies (water proof), sleeping bag and a small cooking kit. I spend a lot of time in the woods and want the ability to get anywhere I might need to efficiently and safely.

Sidewall damage on any tire is never good. It's definitely a no go on a steer tire, let alone a heavy haul open shoulder style like yours.

I had a set of those for about 2 years before they wouldn't hold a charge well. My issue was that while in the truck, they were OK. Outside, I had issues because they don't block out background noise and I could barely hear through them. Some of that issue is tinitis I'd imagine but I've talked to other people who had a similar issue.

What NOT to eat. Nutrition on the road.
I'm not 100% carnivore and once a week or so I'll have a couple donuts. I don't eat bread except what my wife makes at home using very select ingredients and zero sugar. I do take part in the intermittent fasting every day and don't drink any soda or energy drinks or anything with fake sweeteners. I have a very simple exercise routine I do every morning to get woken up and enjoy the energy boost followed by my morning coffee and AG1 afterwards. My current state is that I'm down 25# to 215 which at 6'4" and a large frame makes me feel pretty good. My bp is 106 over 70 and resting heart rate is 48. For 53 years old, I feel great and have no intention of letting myself go as so many unfortunately do.
