HELP w/Bugging In in NYC

[BENESSE]

Are you going......? The agenda sounds like Saturday at the Alaskan Jamboree.

See, we know how to chillax and blow off some steam in a constructive way. Thought you might approve. Now all I gotta do is talk Mr. B into it.

Step one: Bullets down range.

Step two: Evaluate accuracy of shooting.

Step three: Consume a fine Scotch or Whiskey.

Step four: Re-evaluate accuracy of shooting. Some things just get better with age.

STEP FIVE: "Repeat steps 3 & 4"

By the end of the day there are probably a lot more "tack drivers" than at the start of the day.

The Firearms are put away after step #2 is completed, and before step #3 is started.

Yes he was AND a big campaign contributor.
Fortunately it was birdshot pellets only.

But STILL, He was a LAWYER..........

And Cheney was a Dick........

[Aurelius95]

And Cheney was a Dick........

That, there, is funny, I don't care who you are (or who you voted for)!

[AirborneEagles]

Cheney should have claimed it was self defense against a Lawyer.
His ratings would have gone up and nobody would have thought any different.

For bugging in remember this, If you bug in your reinforced door is only as strong as your walls. If you live in a apart ment and have a reinforced door, ya they may not be able to get in through the door but a good ax and sledge will break through that drywall, wall of yours real easy. As for a water supply get some 55gal barrels and fill them up. Remember to use water preservative so it stays good. I know NYC has laws even tighter then California for handguns. Get a good pump action 12gauge for defense. Also have a backup escape route. If you live on like a 10th story of a apartment building have a fast deploy rope off your balcony or out of a window to repel down if you had to leave due to a invasion or if the building caught fire(make sure rope is long enough ^^) Also try to get non thirst quenching foods so you can ration water. Also if you live in a apt. building and you have access to the basement see if their is a manhole cover in the basement to access the water tunnels/sewage if you had to get out quietly. Their is alot to bugging in and it can take weeks,months, even years to be 100% prepared. I am sure everyone on here is more than willing to help you prepare and to do it right.

Kosuki, Using the tunnels and sewers in NYC would be a bad idea as in a disaster where power is lost, they will flood quickly. The most important knowledge is to know your environment and all it's quirks.

I'm just glad I don't live in NYC.....great for some I suppose.....

Popping the cover on a manhole is not just a simple trick. There is often gasoline that has peculated into the manhole from nearby gas stations, it could be full of hydrogen sulfide, nasty stuff, or other unsavory chemicals. We were required to take measurements prior to popping the lid and then the first thing inside was a fresh air blower. After 10 minutes of that we would enter if it wasn't full of water.

Ok so water system is not a good idea in NYC... LOL

[BENESSE]

Crawling through the seweres of NYC wouldn't rank high on my list unless my life directly depended on it and the subway tunnels are dangerous unless you have a good sense of where you are and where the various exits are. If there is any electricity no matter how sporadic, you risk being electrocuted on the third rail. You risk flood, smoke, fire and the criminal element. I prefer the idea of sticking to rooftops, back alleys & fire escapes.

See, that's what I say about folks who go on multiple tours to Iraq & Afghanistan. I guess someone has to do it.

[hunter63]

Well, God bless you for putting up with it,.... and taking your time, to discuss your take on surviving the big city......a point of view and experiance that most of us would never have, if we should ever find ourselves in big cities.
