      This message is for you, please watch video link below.

      BROTHER'S AND SISTER'S BE RAPTURE READY! DON'T BE LEFT BEHIND DEALING WITH THE WRATH FROM GOD, SATAN, AND THE ANTICHRIST REIGNING HELL ON THIS EARTH FOR SEVEN YEARS.
      GOD PROMISE TO THE GENTILES AND THE ISRAELITES OF HIS CHILDREN, THAT ARE SAVED BY BELIEVING THE GOSPEL OF (1 CORINTHIANS 15:1-4), THAT WE ARE NOT APPOINTED TO HIS WRATH.
      "For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 THESSALONIANS 5:9)
      GET SAVED NOW!
      (NOTES): 11 "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, so the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12 Then shall you call upon me, and you shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13 And you shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart. 14 And I will be found of you, said the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive. 15 Because you have said, The Lord hath raised us up prophets in Babylon;" (Jeremiah 29: 11-15)
      THE ABC's OF SALVATION
      Admit you are a sinner in need of a savior
      Believe in the finished redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross alone for the remission of all your sins (past, present, and future)!
      15 "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved , if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" 1 (Corinthians 15:1-4)
      Call on the name of the Lord. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)
      "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6)
      9 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:9-10)
      8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
      (NOTES): How do you know if you're saved, sealed, and rapture ready? You'll find a statement underneath "The ABC's of Salvation" and below it states "Admit you are a sinner in need of a savior." Don't speak out to Jesus admitting all your sin's. If you do so, you will not be saved. Because you're basically spitting at Jesus face; which he did the works on the cross and shed his precious blood for your past, present, and future sins.
      You have to (understand) and (believe) the gospel. The gospel scripture in the King James Version (KJV) Bible is: (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). You have to have head knowledge; which is to (understand) the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Next, you have to have the heart knowledge; which is to (believe) the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Once you've done both, you had a change of mind. This is called metanoia. Therefore, you agreed with the works that Jesus Christ from Nazareth did on the Cross of Calvary for your sin's; which is your (past, present, and future sin's). After you spoken to the Lord that you (understand) and (believe) the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4), you are saved, sealed, sanctified, and rapture ready. You'll never lose your salvation period! Jesus has your soul, not Satan.

    I bought the Arcturus thermal tarp. It's soooo stiff it was a nightmare to pack up and get back into the original stuff sack, but it was manageable. It just requires extra attention to detail and more thinking. It has a two different camo prints depending on the size you order. My god, it is so damn stiff. I've never had a tarp like it. It didn't feel like a tarp at all. Amazing quality, though.

    Bit of a shame about the seam tape, that will definitely become an issue over time, but I guess proper seam sealing tape like on goretex is very expensive.
    But I guess as a survival item, meant to be used only in dire situations, it would be durable enough to get by.
    The rest of it though is constructed very, very well. As someone who works in an industry that specialises in that sort of thing I must say I'm very impressed. These guys truly understood good seam construction, by doing it the way they have, it's the webbing tape that takes the strain, not the tarp material. This is why all the other tarps failed.

    I can't remember the last time I spent more than $17 or $18 for one of those cheesy survival tarps. They work good enough for a ground mat or just to wrap up in. I agree they wouldn't last long as a tarp. 🤷🏻‍♂️
