You just saw proof that you can still get real silver for silver certificates. The Government really should honor these novelty items. But no. You may only have Federal Reserve Notes. Thanks!
After consulting with expert buyers/sellers in my community, the consensus is that paper silver certificates don’t go for more than $2-$5, unless you get a particular year, which I don’t know anything about yet.
But why stockpile silver versus other goods to trade potentially? Because paying for storage sucks, and I’m condensing my wealth to a smaller physical size. And silver in undervalued at this time, in my mind. So I can get more in trade later.
Yeah, but Walmart doesn’t take silver bullion! Not yet. And if you have silver coins you can simply take them to the coin shop in your hood to get cash to purchase Chinese garbage and GMOs.
Well, that dollar with The Rock on it isn’t worth a dollar, so you ripped them off, and you’re a jerk. Hmmm….I think it’s still redeemable. And Dwayne Johnson may as well be on our money since it’s so funny. Audit The Fed.
Take a second to leave a comment on this blog post, if you’d be so kind. What do you stockpile just in case, if anything? Cheers.

Ribz Front Pack Review at Mount St. Helens

By Cameron McKirdy I sling a day pack on my back nearly every day. I’ve mentioned the types of things I have in it before, like gear, food, and a warm change of clothes. So when I discovered the Ribz Front Pack, I was stoked. This innovative, steroid injected version of a fanny pack solves many of the challenges I face when backpacking. Here I am with it on the Hummocks Trailhead near Mount St. Helens in Washington State. 
One issue I have with a regular backpack is I’m constantly taking it off to grab water, my cell phone, or something else that isn’t handy. With Ribz Wear, it’s all right in front of me, so I can continue trail blazing. I also mention in the video how backpacks catch on trees when I have to duck under them. It usually happens a few times each hike, and I practically have to crawl under the obstacle. With my gear in front, navigating through heavy brush is considerably easier. The best part of this system is the pack is easy to adjust. My Dad’s chest and waist are smaller than mine, so after he used it, a quick tug on the straps in back and in front made it comfortable again for me. Plus, Ribz have long, padded shoulder straps, so it feels like a natural extension of your body. 
Check out the map of different Mount St. Helens Adventures. Back to the Ribz Front Pack review, I must mention the Large version I tested can hold absurd amounts, with an 11 liter capacity. Even with it packed full, I was able to swing my arms freely. My dad wore it, and noted that you could still use hiking poles with it on. Ribz makes smaller Front Packs with 8 liters of room too. Internally, there are separate pouches to keep smaller items organized. These elastic lined compartments will hold all your tools close to your ribs, and prevent them from rattling around. We both ran with it, and the pack remained snug, not bouncing around, or swaying side to side.
In conclusion, the Ribz Front Pack is an excellent tool itself. The quality is unbelievable, and far superior to what I expected. It’s lightweight, at only 11 ounces, so it beats a backpack there too. However, I think it would be best suited for use with a rear pack, so the weight of your supplies can be evenly distributed forward and back, thus giving you better posture than wearing one or the other. But if you’re into ultralight backpacking, Ribz might be a dream come true. You can’t machine wash Ribz, but it cleans up nicely with a wet rag. I love the Cordura brand water resistant, ripstop material it’s fabricated with. I will be sporting my Ribz for a long time. I like it so much I want the smaller 8 liter pack too for shorter trips, and cross country running. I just don’t know which color to get next. Check out http://www.ribzwear.com to grab yours.

Kershaw Rainbow Chive Knife Extreme Cut Test HD Video

One of the most popular every day carry knives is the Kershaw Chive designed by Ken Onion. This sly blade features the patented SpeedSafe assisted opening, giving it a remarkable feel. In the HD video I put the knife to the test, slicing a can, plastic bottle, different types of cordage, and much more. On Youtube I couldn’t find anyone doing a legit cut test with the Chive, so I made an extreme one.
I was genuinely surprised to see that the Kershaw didn’t dull after cutting the soda can. I muscled through the bottom, and I was sure it would damage the blade, or at least scratch the titanium-oxide rainbow coating. But even after that, I was able to shave off a good chunk of arm hair in a few strokes. The knife did everything I wanted it to, making it a perfect EDC tool. It’s ultra lightweight too, at only 1.7 ounces.
The Chive comes in a wide variety of colors, some with different handle materials, but the Rainbow version is the most expensive. There’s nothing girly about it. The wild coating reminds me of an oil slick, which are always interesting to look at. I like the stepped thumb studs, because they are rigid, making the small 1 15/16″ blade easy to open. However, I prefer to use the flipper on the back, because I feel it’s a little safer, and there’s no chance of slicing my thumb on deployment. It does have a solid tip-lock system for safety, so the knife won’t open when you pull it out of your pocket. In addition, I love the long, sturdy pocket clip. It’s not rainbow, just polished steel with the Kershaw logo etched down it. Plus, the jimping on the top of the blade gives you more control, which is good because the Chive is small, and somewhat slick due to the coating.
At the end of the day, the Kershaw Chive is a legend. Trust me, you want one. It makes a great keychain knife, and if you carry it on you, you’ll use it daily.

Free Breakfast NOT at My Hotel – Urban Survival Tactic

By Cameron McKirdy
Let me start by saying Happy Holidays! I wish you the best, and hope you give more than you get. Having said that, my fam was in town for Thanksgiving, and Black Friday shopping/trampling. Before my Dad and I set out to hike near Mount St. Helens, they invited me into their hotel for a free deluxe continental breakfast. The feast was on.
The hotel had waffles to make, yogurt, fruit, hash browns, juice, coffee, cereal, eggs, sausage, everything! I can’t say I’ve ever sneaked into a hotel for a free breakfast (before this), but I would if I was hungry. However, when I am a legit guest I do take goodies for the road. Trust me, my pockets get filled with honey packets, peanut butter, whatever. My brother use to creep into fine hotels in Eugene about twice a month to get his fill before class. Andrew blogged about it here on Survival Bros. It’s funny. But I’m not advising you to steal, just sharing a survival tactic for if you’re about to die and need food energy.
You can see in the HD video above I loaded up on the complementary grub, and took it back to their room. I scarfed it, and sipped dank coffee. Then I scoured for other freebies like shampoo, soap, packaged coffee, plus sugars, creamers, straws, napkins, and a new roll of toilet paper. It’s not much, but it will help me get through another day. Being a scavenger is key to survival. Work on that skill just in case. Please visit here regularly. I will be blogging about my 10 mile Mt. St. Helens hike soon. Take care of yourself, and each other. And question authority!

Last week I requested a free product sample from Wise Company of their emergency storable food. I only expected one packet with four servings, but I got two entrees on the house. So I scored six servings in all. I will try at least one meal out, and let you know how it tastes. Get your own sample, good for up to 25 years, by visiting this webpage: http://wisefoodstorage.com/request-a-sample/
Update: The Savory Stroganoff was scrumptious. It was 100% vegetarian, but I added Parmesan cheese and black pepper. My sample was made on 10/30/2013, so it was super fresh.

Homeless. That’s what we were. My bro and I stayed on this boat for weeks last summer to avoid paying rent, and getting a regular job. We were free, and so was our lodging. But with that comes less. We had to deal with a lot of crap. It’s noisy in the Skipanon and Warrenton Oregon Marina. Sleeping is challenging. People work on boats at all hours, so there’s usually people clamoring, and trucks hauling.
Skipanon Warrenton Oregon Marina at Night
Once we had to stay on the boat right after our host varnished the interior. We opened the craft up, but the stench was still awful. I got a headache, and while grateful for the place to lay down, I was ready to split and catch the bus into town. In the HD video above we got a solid fire going, but I didn’t film the smoke that filled the cabin, and it was horrible. I got a headache from that too. Again, we lifted the lid on the boat, and opened up the ceiling, but sacrificed warmth. The Survival Bros slept on a wet mattress because the boat had recently sank.
We had a key to the shower and restroom, but that was a hike from the boat. Plus, we didn’t want to get hassled by security, so we kept our creeping to a minimum, and laid low. The smart move was to pee in plastic bottles to avoid detection. However, the other fisherman on the marina were typically very helpful. We had their assistance many times when we had to do work on the boat, or move it to another slip. Speaking of, the rent for a spot there is only $70 per month, and our buddy paid that. You have to pay a little more for electricity, but it’s still the cheapest place to crash in town. In exchange for a bed, Tactical Gypsy worked on the boat, making sure the bilge was pumping out water, or whatever. I kept him company, and learned what I could from the Maritime Scientist. It was an adventure for sure, and I’m happy to share it with you. More homelessness tales soon. Thanks for supporting Survival Bros. Peace and love.

SteriPEN Sidewinder Review for Emergency Preparedness By Survival Bros

Produced By Cameron McKirdy
In this HD video Survival Bros tests the SteriPEN Sidewinder UV Water Purification System. It’s hand powered, meaning it’s battery-free. I think it’s light-weight at 16.6 ounces, and compact enough to fit in a backpack with a height of 8.6 inches. The Sidewinder is perfect for camping, and emergency preparedness. Their moto is “safe drinking water anywhere.” That’s a noble mission, and one we can all appreciate.
Imagine knowing a hurricane is about to devastate your area, and seeing this on your shelf. I can’t picture a prep that would bring more peace of mind than the SteriPEN Sidewinder. This tool disinfects 8,000 liters of water that could be contaminated with bacteria, protozoa, and viruses. Those potentially harmful risks are getting eliminated thanks to the powerful UV lamp. Even a kid could operate this purifier. All you have to do is fill it, flip it, crank it, and drink it. In 90 seconds you have water you don’t have to worry about. Survival Bros is also grateful that the bottle is BPA-free, so you won’t be drinking chemicals that way. In the box you get the 1L container, water-tight bottle lid, and Pre-Filter for particulate removal.
The SterPEN Sidewinder is one of those products a prepper really needs. It’s a good backup to have, in case your regular water source is compromised, or you’re just off the grid. I have no complaints with this system. It feels well made, it works, and will continue to keep me safe for many years. They even offer a 3 year warranty. Plus, they are an American company. Check out their full line of gear at http://www.steripen.com There’s an ultraviolet light solution right for you. I’m sure you’ll see us testing more SteriPEN products in the future. We approve 100%!
