This will make the right impression on a prospective FIL. The aftershave would be a good scent for survivalist women as well.

Wear it at church; wear it at the honky tonk. Now they need to make some hair tonic that smells the same.

Take a look at the rest of their website while you're there; they have all kinds of things for us folks.

Default Now You Can Smell Like A Survivalist.

I'm no survivalist, but I kinda like Hoppe's #9 and use it in cleaning my firearms. Have for decades. Wouldn't use it as a cologne, though.

I strongly suspect that in a real SHTF survival situation, most folks would smell like dirty armpits, anyway.

I love ol' Hoppe's, but I rarely smell like it these days. More often smell like woodsmoke and bacon and eggs, with hints of manure, dirt, and honest sweat. Never had any trouble attracting the pretties with that combo... Wife does like Hoppe's, too, though.

We are selling Regurgit, the calogne for drunks. It smells like vomit so if the cops stop you they will take one sniff and leave.

For some reason eharmony won't give us a link.
