I haven't seen this talked about much.

If SHTF how many pairs of socks would you require? How many underpants, shirts, trousers, boots, etc. I'm talking a diaharrea tsunami… shit is fucked up. What clothes do you have packed in your bags? What do we really need?

Bare minimum for socks and skivvies is four pairs. Worst case scenario you can cycle out sweaty and waterlogged pairs to dry clipped to the outside of your pack. Ideally you could wash them, even if just rinsing them in a stream or boiling them.

I'd be fairly comfortable with two pairs of trousers, a field jacket and/or sweater, three t-shirts, and one pair of boots. Towel, blanket, season appropriate hat. I could function with far less, and would definitely prefer to have far more, but if I was moving on foot I'd probably keep it at that and save ounces for food and water above all.

Merino wool and other antimicrobial material is where it's at. Darn Tough Vermont socks and ExoFicio boxer briefs are my go-tos, two pairs of each. Worn them for a straight 24 out in the woods and they didn't even smell. Wash them out in a sink or a river and let them drip dry. As for pants, one on your person and another packed. Undershirts follow the same rule as underwear, two apiece tightly packed together with the socks and underwear to save space. I try to find that balance between having what I need and mobility. Look at what people who do minimalist packing for backpacking Europe/Asia (taking into account they often buy an item of clothing when they find a need for it, which we may not be able to do at all in a happening.)

This is actually true, there is a new fashion wave at the moment of people wearing camouflage pieces with a grey/brown tint, its called "Darkcamo".

The rapefugees that are flooding Europe also love to waste their money on camouflage fashion, especially the women. Look at any group of shitskins in one of Germany's bigger cities and you will find several pieces of camouflage being worn.

Clothing: My hurricane bag which doubles as my SHTF kit has 5 pairs of socks, a set of scrubs, three pairs of underwear, Sweatshirt, sweatpants, 2 Henley t-shirts, 2 running shorts. Hooded sweatshirt. light gloves, scarf and stocking cap All in bags with air evacuated out from them.

Pretty much what I need where I live given my local climate.

This is from my own personal experience. I have survived a Cat 5 on a Caribbean island. A Cat 4 and a Cat 3, half a dozen sub cat 3s so far in the States.

I have a additional bag for extended stays with more clothing including Jeans and Khaki's. My standard shirt in a Hurricane is a Henley with a button up fishing style shirt over it. More style than a t-shirt with a ability to adjust for weather/temp. One effect I have noticed is if you are wearing better quality clothing you are more socially acceptable. Looking better might get you shelter or food. It worked me in 2004.

I am currently in recovery mode from Irma.

Does anyone have advice on how to do laundry in a SHTF scenario? You can't keep cycling dirty skivvies for weeks on end without causing hygiene issues.

Are there any decent washboards designed to be light and portable for camping? A small bottle with concentrated laundry detergent, a 5 gal bucket, a washboard, and clothing pins/paracord for a drying line seem like must-haves in any scenario that lasts more than a week.


3b0b31 No.518863

>>518861

>washboard

not needed. a little soap or detergent is all.

First off, synthetics need a lot less care than most people think. you can get a week out of you skivies and socks no problem in a dry-ish climate, just rinse occasionally and be sure it's dry for the next morning. You're not going for "clean" clothes, just disinfected.

I usually dunk whatever clothes are particularly bad in a stream, and then hand wash and dunk again. You probably want to use a bio-degradable hippie detergent if you're of the leave no trace mindset. diluted bleach works for this too in a pinch, but you need a bucket or the like to dilute first–works on colors too.

Hang to dry on your hammock line or p-cord. what's important is being sure that your shit dries out in time, wet socks will kill ya.

Which would create Chloramin gas which is poisonous, even if Chloramin is used as a Bactericide in Medicine that would be a bad idea.

Also you would have to carry bleach around with you, while my solution can be done in the woods without additional tools or chemicals. All you need in my solution is to collect the leafs, make a fire, have a two liter container to heat the water and leaves and you are ready to wash your clothes.

No Strelok, Poison Ivy is a plant called Toxicodendron radicans that grows in Asia and North Africa and is not actually part of the Ivy family.

I am talking about Hedera helix, the common ivy or European Ivy. Unlike Poison Ivy the common ivy is harmless to touch and cut for normal healthy people.

How can you not know the difference?

>>518924

The majority of plants and herbs has the chance to cause allergic reactions for certain people, but that doesn't mean its dangerous to everyone especially when you cook it.

I have cut down whole forests of Hedera helix and never felt any ill effect from it.

Hand washing is quite easy, it might not get every stain out of your clothes but it'll suffice for most situations. It's quite simply a process of putting your clothes into the water, rub the fabric a bit to get anything clinging to it or in between the weave loose and then swish it about in the water a little bit more and then let it dry.

If you want low maintenance clothes go for wool, although this will bite you in a hot climate, wool works fine for sheep and it'll work fine for you. It doesn't hold smells much and it'll continue to insulate when wet.

What boots do you advice to buy?

I bought high heels steel-toes boots, and seriously, that's shit. You can't run with it. You'll just fall like a fucking faggot if you have to run. Moreover, they're heavy, and so not practical for long walks.

I just lost a lot of money like a retard.

Is steel-toes that much of a good thing? I mean, I don't see how it's useful. You can hurt yourself on it, and it makes the shoes heavier, and more prone to deterioration (the leather is tensed here).

What about merrells trail/hike shoes?

Do you need to have your ankle locked with 9' boots?

Sorry for all the question, but that's quite important. I can't wear regular combat shoes where I live (I literaly never saw anyone wear them, apart from police force).

>What I mean is that the military did not built something better since then?

Yes and no, most militaries today use Parkas instead of something like the M65 that are more modular but also thicker.

The M65 has a fabric that is a mixture of nylon and cotton, most military Parkas today have their out Shell being complete nylon/polyester.

After that its a question how you like your pockets, the M65 features normal straight pockets that are good to keep your stuff, but suboptimal when being prone on the floor. Most modern Parkas have diagonal or horizontal pockets, easier to access when prone but also easy to lose stuff with.

At the end there are a couple of gimmicks that can come with a modern Parker like the bigger Canadian style buttons that make it easier to open pockets with gloves, zippers under your arms or the sides and other stuff.

>>520717

>Moreover, is that normal that these cost around 200-300?

No, but the M65 jacket has reached cult status and entered the fashion industry, so new expansive ones are produced by certain labels.

Steel toes are great for kicking the shit out of thingsand people that get in your way.

Drywall? Kick a hole in it. Antifascist? Kick in the shin or knee, then the head when they bend over or fall. Interior door? kick near the hinge until it cracks. Prius or Tesla with cali plates in your parking spot? The owner probably likes modern art, so why not give them some improvised repousse on the driver's door. Jamal goes at you with a knife? Groin shot him to give yourself extra time to draw your pistol.

They're also very helpful if you work with moderately heavy objects (the story about steeltoe boots crushing and amputating toes is more or less false, for a few reasons. Properly made and certified steel toes are extremely strong, and the amount of force needed to crush them would, if applied to non steel toe boot, reduce your toes to a fine paste or jelly, rendering the issue rather meaningless. However, cheap unrated or cosmetic toe caps may have this problem, but by buying quality footwear you shouldn't have the issue).

And regarding running in loggers, it is possible, though it takes practice; you have to use the ball of your foot and your toe much more than usual, and you won't probably be able to go extremely fast.

They aren't meant to be running or hiking boots. They're designed for comfort and traction in mud, woodchips, soil, and the cold, and they excel at this. Despite visual similarities, they are very different than combat boots.

Personally, I prefer to wear boots at least 6 inches tall, because my ankles, especially my right ankle, have been a bit fucked up since I was a kid. If you're worried about looking odd in high boots, just pull your trouser leg over the boot, and you will appear to just have thick soled leather work shoes.

Good hiking or trail shoes are usually fine, but harder to clean than plain leather, and less durable in the long term.

this is my personal experience, yours may be different

Also, anyone have experience with swedish tretorn boots? I have a pair of size 45 and a pair of size 46 coming from varusteleka. pic related.

Depends on climate and location. Each material has its benefits and disadvantages.

>Cotton: silent, matte material, comfortable, medium hygienic, but doesn't dry very quickly, thus "cotton kills" = if you get wet and it's windy/cold or even in summer, you can be fucked very quickly

>Synthetics: loud, often shiny material, can itch, starts to stink after a few hours/days if you sweat , dries very quickly. As you can see, it makes a good mixture with cotton, thus you have many cotton/poly pants etc.

>Wool: silent, matte material, comfortable if fine wool, very hygienic, dries rather slowly but keeps you warm even when wet (as opposed to cotton & synth). To protect the material you need to wash it by hand or in a wool mode at low temperature with special detergent, but you can also just soak it in cold water, drain and carefully squeeze it a bit, then wrap it up in towels to remove moisture, hang it to dry, but not that it hangs down, rather lay it somewhere into the open. Then again, you might not give a fuck about the longevity of your wool garment and just do whatever with it. You can wear wool undergarments for a week straight without taking them off and they won't stink, stick or give you rashes, truly amazing shit.

>Bamboo: silent, matte material, comfortable, very hygienic (antibacterial), dries quickly and keeps you warm when wet. The master race of fabrics. Sadly, not too many manufacturers offer this material yet. It's practically plant wool.

>Silver: often added to fabrics (mostly poly) to give antibacterial properties, resulting in socks etc. to not stink.

As for style, go with something that fits your surroundings. I'd recommend clothing that protects you from the elements but doesn't stand out in urban environments, your 0815 Globetrotter shit in non-neon colors should fit that bill.

The communists killed people wearing glasses, suspecting them to be intellectuals, so I'd be very careful about wearing anything military-esque or otherwise suspicious. Criminals, desperate people and "the man" will be looking for interesting people if SHTF and nothing screams "shoot me" like a big bag or fancy clothing.

Camo only helps slowing down enemy reconnaissance, it does not prevent it. And if you finally are found dressed like that, you'll likely be fucked. It's highly unlikely you'll be moving around without being seen, so you'll want to look uninteresting as fuck.

As for amount, I'd say a dozen of socks and at least two sets of clothing. Wear the clean one when you go to bed after washing yourself, then wear it the next day as well. Wash the dirty one (or hang it to air, etc.) and switch them out accordingly. Also have adequate clothing against rain and cold if that applies to your area.

If you look around the outdoor, sport and work clothing shops, you'll find plenty of stuff that works and doesn't stick out.

>how many pairs of socks

Socks are light and can be used to carry around small items without making a noise. I would probably take two or more pairs. One for wearing and one as backup, the rest as emergency or to carry small items, such as bolts, bullets, casings etc. You would need to replace the socks though, since after a month or so of wear they will have holes, no matter how good they are. Knitting is a useful skill.

You can also replace socks with footwraps, which require some getting used to and practice, but are easier to make from bits of cloth.

>How many underpants

One pair of thermo underwear and two pairs of normal underwear. You will need to wash it every week or two at least, but when one pair is in the sun drying you can wear the other. Thermo underwear will help A LOT during winter.

>shirts

Two. You will sweat them through quickly, but you can always wash them, and they will last for years. When one is dirty wear the other until you come across a stream to wash them both.

>trousers

One pair of normal pants, one pair of shorts. The shorts are for summer, while the normal pants are for every other season. Holes can be easily patched, and it doesn't matter if they get dirty. Wash them every month if required.

>boots

One good pair o' boots is all you really need. Maybe some sandals so you can wade through water easier. Make sure your boots are watertight.

Also: hoodies. Two good baggy hoodies. The hood is perfect against the wind. Holes can also be patched. If it gets cold you wear both at the same time. The front pocket can be used to carry the socks with the loose ammunition.

A watertight jacket (or poncho that goes almost all the way to the boots) would be good too. You can pitch it and use it as a tent, or pack your backpack inside to keep it dry when crossing a river or whatever. It will also help against wind and rain, obviously. Look into the old BW NBC ponchos. I know a lot of fags who simply claimed to have lost their own and had to pay for it, just so they could keep one for private use. They are really useful. Our leader during basic didn't even pack a Zeltbahn, all he did was take a piece of string and use it to pitch his poncho.

Not all synthetics though, aramides are flame resistant

>>529021

fuck you too

Wool is actually water resistant and fire retardant if the thread is properly twisted. I would recommend a mixture of wool and kevlar, everything else is garbage for operating.

You can buy kevlar pants and tshirts, they make them for motorcross riders.

Many/most common ones for clothing are. And some types of synthetic fabric are worse than others. Synthetic fleece, for example, is a terrible offender here, as the loose, low density fibers melt and burn very quickly. I know this from personal experience.

Yeah, but you're not supposed to make open fire in SHTF anyways, as it gives you away visually and by smell.

cityfags may not have the choice if abdul and tyrone are out rioting and setting shit on fire. I'm not saying don't wear synthetic, just be aware of the risk.

Hey just a fair warning for anyone looking for wool blankets: DON'T BUY HARBOR FREIGHT. You might think to yourself "yeah the quality might be a bit shit but it costs 10 dollars so its all worth it" but they're horrible.

Smells like cancerous chemicals that doesn't come out unless you wash it three times and everytime you wash it pieces of "wool" fall off and stick to your washing machine so you'll have to clean it out.

And then for drying it three times you'll have to empty out your lint trap 6 times because the blankets just fill it up so fast and nearly cause a fire.

Just hang that shit up, its better for both your dryer and the items in question.

>socks

Not using glorious footwraps of flawless slavshit design?

gotogulag.jpg

Kidding aside, I finally found a source for them here in burgerland that won't bend me over a barrel for shipping costs. Always wanted to try them out as they seem to have some advantages over regular sock.

They'll be here in about a week. I'll report back after I get a chance to put them through their paces.

Word of caution, don't bother with the ones from varusteleka, they are WAY undersized.
