Products the project might be interested in.

Thought I would start a thread for things that the project might consider useful. None of us can keep up with everything so feel free to add things.

This one is interesting as from a technical perspective it could be in any years project

I'm scouring sites for my Coopersville survivors. I even ordered a Lehman's catalog. Looking up Marconi for Napolean's Own to explain vacuum tube radios. Crazy Crow is also on my reference list.

Kippertool seems like another nice additon to the CoT portfolio.

I processed a bunch of their toolkits in 2007 but they have added some neat stuff since then

That will be nice, a 'catalog' of general products with a price list. Are you going to break it down into sections by tech level for the price or are you going to have conversion factors to change the price as you change from one tech level to another tech level?

[.45cultist]

Yes, a lot of lower tech is cheaper for the citizens and avg tech for thier neighbors. The counties that Coopersville is a part of are TL D, but can be TL C soon.

I have not really looked over it yet but there is a 1200 page Sears catalog from 1912 here.

I have been looking for the 1896 one (the first) as that feels closer to what you might see from post war tech, but it might be interesting.


Edit.
I took a look at it and parts would probably be useful for what might be available in KFS.

Since it is a pretty big download 220MB i thought a few example pages might help one decide if a download is worth it.

It would be nice to have a gear and goods list by tech level as a reference at least. I'll keep digging.

None in existence that I know of...... Try the Supplybunker.com.

Gary would likely have a copy if one exists.

Garmin Rhino - combination GPS receiver, digital map, and short range hand held radio. Mostly useless after 150 years but, probably would have had some capabilities in the 3-5 year plan.

I don't think I have a list like that (it would be nice to see one), I'll have to look around the site.

[ArmySGT.]

Folding Bicycle.... A full size bike that folds in half. Either to supplement team movement locally, as a component of the "Contact pack", or meant to be given to survivors to assist mobility of essential services personnel (EMTs, Police, Midwives).

I'm busy eagerly looking at stuff to catalog.

[ArmySGT.]

Maybe the catalyst for some ideas?

A magazine bibliography is on the way, I'm gathering them into a pile to sort. It should be of interest to Twilight 2000 too!
