I don't see it happening, at least anything "widespread". Sheeple will put up with almost anything as long as they have their American Idol and McDonalds. Look at the last few months - the government...

Cool thread! I wish I could get one each of all the cool knives on here...

For me, I keep a CRKT M16 in my back pocket all the time. It gets used constantly, and holds an edge pretty well. I...

If I had to carry one gun, on the move, for an extended period (as in end-of-the-world) I would say a 10/22. The ammo is light enough that you can carry a thousand rounds in your pockets. I keep...

Ahhh. I wondered why the threads were getting quiet. Good to know that infighting exists everywhere, even in Cyberspace.

So, its been 2 days. Is the war over?

Ok! May we resume the chatting...

I donated a pint 'o my best to the Red Cross. Also made contact with the local CERT administrator. Gonna go see about getting certified and volunteer for the cert/rescue squad.

Aside from that,...

Ah, guns. It seems to come back to that a lot around here...

In my "survival kit", per se, I dont have a provision for firearms. I have a concealed carry permit, and have a compact .45 pistol...

Just tossing my thoughts in here. The forum is a wealth of information, but after spending time on here, I am still just barely scratching the surface. It is almost impossible to keep up with the...

Well said. but I haven't bought my own personal bodybag because I never plan on using it. :)

If the average ever drops to below 100, I am leaving.


(there is a joke there. :) )

interesting thread. I figured i would put my 2 cents in. At the moment I am wearing jeans, a hooded cotten sweatshirt, and moisture wick socks. In my pockets are my wallet with cardlight, some cash,...

As I said, lake on property, fire from all the papergoods and such, food from the breakrooms and cafeteria, shelter can be made from the cubicle dividers, the medical part i am working on. And my kit...

A couple of you are bringing up a good point re: caching stores underground. I have been wondering what would be needed to safely store dry goods for longer periods of time. Any suggestions? I have...

I am stuck in a cubicle job, so if SHTF in a big hurry, my plan is to get to my truck, either to drive home, or to grab my BOB and start hoofin' it. But, if, lets say, a tornado blows thru and...

I presume that is a "no".

Many years ago I was on the back acreage of my Uncles' farm in central alabama, just enjoying a quiet day. I had a new camera at the time, and was taking a bunch of shots in black and white, just of...

The Su-16 seems like a pretty cool piece. But in all honesty, I don't have a "survival" rifle, so I, too, look forward to the responses to this thread. In a survival situation, I plan on snaring and...

Interesting selection of kit. I have a "always with me" kit, which is slightly different, but serves a similar purpose. (getting my back end from a bad spot, to a less bad spot, quickly)

4"x4"...

My wife is absolutely certain that I have totally lost my marbles. Her idea of a TEOTWAWKI situation is when the mall is closed.

I like to think that she and I make an interesting dynamic.

Nice setup. So I take it the shed is on your property - if so, how do you keep those pesky two-legged varmits from raiding?

Seriously, this is a question I have had in the back of my mind for a...

This week was a bit of a "step back" week for me. Since I found this forum, I have been re-assessing some priorities, and as the cold weather starts sneaking in, I had to spend time prepping the...

As long as I had a 2 ton truck to haul the shells for me, it would be great! I can see it now: "30 rounds in a couple of seconds - those ducks never stood a chance!"

Yup. I went by the local big-box improvement store, they had a number of good kerosene and propane heaters. I was pretty sure kero was the way to go, but now I am considering buying a propane heater...

Winter weather can be a big problem here in the South - simply because almost nobody is prepared for it. If a massive weathersystem comes thru and dumps lots of snow, we are all pretty much isolated...

Well said, gentlemen. Well said. All the beans, bandages, and bullets in the world won't help if you have no idea what to do with them.


A friend of mine discovered I have been working towards...

Ok, here goes.

This is the stuff that stays in my BOB. I should mention that I work some 35 miles from home, so I keep the pack in my truck,
and the plan( what there is of one) is for me to be...
