Wanted to let everyone know that over the next week the Rourke Family will be heading down the road and will be on vacation.

MSOnline will continue to operate normally (I hope) as I have many Guest Posts scheduled – as well as a few from me. Should you send me an email or leave a comment – it may take me a little to get to it.

Don’t worry – I will carry essential emergency supplies with me (sorry wifey!).

Take care all -

Rourke

    Enjoy! We spent four days at Duck on the Outer Banks last week. It’s important to ease off and recharge the batteries every now and then. And a big 10-4 on carrying some basic emergency preps on vacation!

    On your vacations/trips do you carry a HAM (Amateur) radio? if so, what kind and what frequencies do you monitor? I use an Icom IC-7000 HF/VHF/UHF in my truck (GMC Sierra Z-71) with a Tram Dual-band (2-Meter/70-CM) and a Mini-Tarheel II HF antenna. For keeping in touch with the truckers (they have a phenomenol network of highway info and most have an ample supply of tools if needed and are usually happy to share or assist 4-wheeler motorist in need!) I use a Uniden Pro 650 E AM/SSB Citizens band radio. I also use the ARRL’s Travel Plus 14.0 program to keep a list of Amateur Radio repeaters for my trip and alternmate routes home. An updated lsit of HF Radio Nets is kept for emergency communications and as a source of information.

    My weapon is attached to the dash below the steering column by a Gum Springs Vehicle Holster. Emergency power is supplied by my home-made Solar Emergency Power System. My SEPS can easily supply power for lights, a small heater, our home-made A/C (air cooler) unit, radios, boost other vehicles, and many other uses. I also keep an “O’shit Kit” in the truck for emergencies, along with a minimum of three (3) days food and water. Other supplies include a large metal coffee can for cooking Hobo/Coffee Can Chicken,” rope, charcoal (for when no kindling is available), and many other supplies for our comfort and survival. If stranded, a portable Solar Oven and the necessary supplies are kept for cooking and water pasteuruzation.

    Photos of my home Solar Oven and Parabolic Cookers can be seen on Facebook (thesunguy@ymail.com). Photographs of my truck radio equipment and SEPS will be added in a few days (as time permits).

    Hi Jim –

    HAM is one thing I am very interested in but so far have not educated myself on the “in’s and out” of it.

    Thanks -Rourke
