The selfless generosity of the outstanding men and women here is truly overwhelming at times.

In order for you to see what is available, I'll put the original thread copy quoted below so you won't have to skip around.

A certain individual among us, whom really didn't care if he was mentioned other than being referred to as a generous, caring individual, has bought and paid for a considerable amount of what is quoted below with direction they be placed in this Helping Hands section. What is being donated is:

---2 Kits from the thread copy shown below (with a CD version of the book included), one each to a deserving individual who needs one but can't spring for it.

AND

---20 copies of my wilderness survival manual, one each to those who would like to have one.




Vet Bills Funds Raiser: Survival Pack "guts"

All right guys, as some may be aware of, my 4-legged furry kiddo got smacked by a pick-up last week. He spent the afternoon on Monday in surgery to put all his insides back together, and is home now. While he's bored out of his mind and severely irritated by having to wear the darn "lamp shade" that keeps him from licking the stitches, he's doing pretty darn good. NOW, comes the really fun part--making sure the vets that took such good care in puzzling him back together are paid what is owed... Not gonna say what the bill is at current, but it's enough to have to do some liquidating...

SO... Since there seems to be a bit of chatter about survival packs, go-bags, etc lately--and it IS hunting season, I went through the left-over inventory from earlier classes and put together 8 mini-packs with the skeletal guts of what goes into a basic pack. The rest is up to you to tailor and streamline to fit you, but these each include the minimal essentials:

1--Mil Surplus M16 Magazine Pouch on ALICE clips
1--Fire Steel (I mount them in a spent case for the handle--these are on 7.62x54. Good grip size and the rim is nice)
10--water tablets (dose is 1 per Ltr., so about 2.75 gallons worth)
6--2"x18" Gaffers Tape strips (the stuff is duct tape on steroids)
3--triple antibiotic ointment squeeze pouches
1--4' length 7-strand 550 cord (they're end trims, some are longer, all are at least 4', color varies)
1--bubble compass (dirt cheap, but they work for what they are intended--basic orienting when it's not obvious)

Most of you could probably assemble the same with an afternoon spent running around town, and you'd probably spend about the same to do it--this saves the leg work for the key items in a minimalist kit because I've already assembled that part for you.

Aside from that, I'm including a cd with the basic survival manual I wrote a few years ago in PDF format. It's 75 pages: the first half is dedicated to basic need-to-know, tailoring kits to specific needs, "do and don't" things, etc, the second half is about how to effectively use what you have--techniques, tricks, traps, mistakes, etc... In simple terms, it's the foundation material I cover through the first day of my Beginner Course. (And I'll bet you a doughnut even you skilled outdoors-men will find some things in there you didn't already know )

There are a lot of you guys who are already well prepared and skilled, but there are plenty who really aren't experienced and may want a start in the right direction. Here is the basic fundamentals and start to a basic kit to expand, all in one package.

8 packages available, $26 each shipped.
If you want JUST the book, I can email it to you as a PDF attachment for $5

Paypal for payment, post an "I'll take one" followed by a PM.
Shipping happens USPS small FRB on Mondays and Thursdays (email for just a book attachment is whenever I log on, so pretty darn quick).

86906


Thanks in advance all,
Jim




NOW, all that covered, here's how it works. If you need one or the other, simply say so with a PM following the post. For the kits I will need a shipping address. For the ebook I simply need an email address. Whether he cares for the recognition or not, I must put my own special "Thank You" out to BrassMagnet for making such an incredible gesture to myself and my family, and am proud to fulfill such a request to those of you who need these things.

With my gratitude and humble respect,
Jim

If you accept bitcoin I will buy an online available copy of the manual for the cost of a survival pack so that you can have a 3rd to someone who needs one.

Bret, sorry I don't have a way to handle bitcoin. The ones in this thread are already bought for those who can't spring for one, but if you're looking to buy one I'm sure we can work something out. PM me.

By my count, you all are a little slow.

It looks like one more kit and nineteen more survival books on CD.

BrassMagnet is pretty fast when he sees a good deal.

Now get cracking and claim something!

I'm reviving this because, at a glance at my email "sent" box, I see there are about 5 Ebook copies still up for grabs already paid for last fall by BrassMagnet (be sure to send him a thank you for his endless generosity). There is no expiration on this helping-hand. It's SPRING time, which means lots of 'getting out in the woods' for many of us. Claim a copy!!! That's what they're available for!!!

Post an "I'll take one" in this thread and then message me with an email address--the ebook comes as a PDF attachment. Be aware in advance, it may take me a few days to respond, I'm pretty swamped this time of year and I'm not online nearly as often right now.
---5---available as of this post.

I don't know if the wilderness could survival me. Maybe the wilderness needs a Nukem survival manual.
