I’ve been on the hunt at local thrift shops for a bargain.  After scouring the Eugene/Springfield, Oregon area I hauled in fresh gear, and saved a wad of money buying items second hand.  However, most of the swag mentioned in this HD video production is new.  I’ve been popping tags.  I hope to use these pieces backpacking, vandwelling, and as essential Every Day Carry items.  

Nike SFB Tan Boots

I found a new pair of Nike Special Field Boots or SFB at St. Vinnie’s.  They retail online for $140 or more, if you can locate your size.  I had hoped they were size 12’s when I spotted them on display.  It was my lucky day, because they were a match for me.  The desert tan kicks had been marked $29.99, but were half off that day.  I got the shoes for $14.99!  I’ve been wanting this exact pair of 8 inch high military style boots.  Here’s the male equivalent of girls wearing Uggs in public.  I get lots of compliments on them.  No I haven’t served, but I train with soldiers.  

Mechanix MPACT gloves

I lost one of my all black Mechanix M-PACT Covert gloves bouncing around town celebrating New Years.  So, now I’m breaking in another pair of work gloves that I had for backup.  I like wearing them while biking, or even driving my Volkswagen Vanagon.  This brightly colored safety wear is men’s size Large.  Newer versions fit even better.  I also like that they dry out quickly in the sun.

Here’s my other videos on thrift store shopping.  I’ve found some treasures, and I look forward to going back into the city to discover what else I can’t live without.  Thanks for supporting the blog.  Visit again shortly.  I have lots of wacky videos in the works.  Have a great Spring Break, and Summer! 

The BAN 420 car license plate is still available – $50,000 Or Best Offer

Survival Bros is at the beach in Seaside, Oregon testing two Naimakka paracord bands made in Sweden.  Each luxurious design features ultra-high grade military standard Type III paracord.  The special edition Skydivers bracelet in camo green 483 includes an all brass clasp.  I can’t wait to rough it up more, and see how the patina develops on the surface.  The other bracelet is charcoal, or stealth grey and has a secure screw closure.  Both Naimakka products unravel to about 8 feet of cordage, so you’ll have plenty of material to work with during an emergency situation.  It feels good to have extra cord on hand.  You can use it to build shelter, make knots, or even floss your teeth with the inner strands.  And we know you don’t floss everyday!  If you’re looking for the a dependable, and gorgeous paracord bracelet then visit http://www.naimakka.com to get your own gear.  They ship worldwide for $5.  Plus, it will attract attention, and you can strike up a conversation with other preppers.  Your satisfaction is guaranteed.
