be safe over the weekend .

I have a lot of digital camo gear. Some from my sons tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. A lot of guys don’t like Ike it but there is an easy fix. Brown ritz dye in a bucket of hot water. Dulls it down to where it’s hardly noticeable. Three day assault packs are great and last forever. Same with the Fanny pack that attaches or can be worn or shouldered separately.

Where do you get this dye? I have a lot of my old gear I’d like to try this with. Including a few chemical suits.

Hi Blackie, greeting from Australia 🇦🇺, thank you for your time to make these videos.

My pleasure!

I sure wish I lived closer, I'd love to spend a day in there

Hey Blackie I have a Silverwolves video request, how to not lose your gear in the woods. Sometimes us Silverwolves are forgetful for we're in a rush

Thanks Blackie

Surplus Stores are one of my favorite haunts. Excellent video Blackie Thomas.

Blackie, could you do a tour of the surplus store so those of us who don’t have a surplus store in our state/area can dream. Greetings from Brisbane Australia

I just ordered in two Canadian surplus wool blankets to add to my cold weather survival kit. I live in western New York so it can drop below zero and we can get several feet of snow in one storm. Just planning ahead for winter. They cost $64 with shipping.

You can find what's in each style ( A pack, B pack, etc ) Online

Man, I wish shipping wasn't so expensive. I could use a couple cases of those meals! My house was directly hit by the tornado on May 26th here in Rogers, Arkansas. My daughter and I were essentially homeless for 2 weeks, and lost most of our food. These would have been great to have

Blackie sees item; Blackie likes item; Blackie gets item

The dog harness is exactly what I need! I'm hitchhiking with my dawg to Calif. from Florida. $60 is a steal from what I've been finding in pet stores. Hope they got some Xtra large!

Making a call right now!

Hey Blackie, I was just thinking about you and the ladies at Kaufmans. I'll have to call them and see if I can bring my service dog with me to try on a vest..he has his service best but I think he needs to varry his own food now that he is a year old and 50 lbs of muscle. Maybe I'll see you there. I need another poncho too. Be safe out there.

Will you do a video on field shirts?

Nice stuff, smirks so next trip you gonna have 6 tarps? Got a marpat tarp in great condition at one near me.

@blackoracle69 Your welcome, yard sales and a few other places. I collect old pocket knives. So know how it goes. When finding things like that in good condition.

how much would they charge to ship those mre's?

Do they ship because I’m in Florida

Looking at the price

What the heck is one open Kentucky?

I'm looking for a used army blanket to cut a piece out of to drape over the back of my chair.

You can try Coleman's Military Surplus, Sportsman's Guide, Camelots or any surplus store should have some on hand

Your failure to not buy a sixth tarp of which you already own five of is why I stay away from surplus stores. That stuff is addictive. With me it’s Haversacks, Backpacks Rucksacks and ponchos. Well anything unusual too.

Thays a great price on the mres just can't help yourself huh

i use them a lot in camping and over night trips plus its time to update my bug out supplies

Coincidentally I just found a 5 gallon bucket of 90s MREs buried in my shop the other day and ate the sweet and sour one to experiment and it was still good. My tongue and throat tingled a little but I got full and I'm still alive so.. 😂

Oh wow!

A question. MREs last 5 years if stored at room temperature. When I look for MREs online I get the inspection date not the date packaged. It doesn't make sense to me to pay $100+ for 3 or 4 or 5 YO MREs with no way to know it was stored correctly. Why can't I purchase it within a month of it being made/packaged? And why would I buy it when it's old?

@blackoracle69

18 күн бұрын

often you can by them new and if you looking for long term storage thats a good idea. the last time i checked brand new manufactured ones were 75 dollars a case. the price usually goes down and time passes and the inspection date draws near so if your wanting them for short term say 1 yr for camping and to have on hand the cheaper ones will do.

I just looked on Amazon and MREs are $130 a case. I don't know how old they are but it says a 2024 inspection date which means, I believe, that they were packaged in 2020 or 2021. With a 5 year "life" that means they expire in a year or so. They aren't a good choice for food storage for emergencies. Freeze dried food, Mountain House meals at Walmart, have a god by date of 2054. I'm pretty sure I would rather store the 2054 food than the 2025 food. That's all I'm saying. We, the community, needs a legitimate discussion on MREs and storable food. I don't believe that MRE's are the best choice.

Does this place have a website where you can order from them?

@blackoracle69 Thank you, Sir might have to go on a road trip.

Did I hear you correctly? The expiration date on the ready to eat meals is 9/24, 2-3 months from now. Not sure that is such a good deal. Only gets one through 1/2 the current hurricane season. Hopefully, I misunderstood.

As a veteran, I can assure you that those meals are good for years beyond those expiration dates if they have been stored properly.
