Good items to keep for WW3

[Davidlastink]

@ Iskander , is your name a reference to Alexander the great?

Lead. People always overlook lead. If nothing else it makes for good paint.

[Iskander]

But in all honesty I don't know what the copper:zinc ratio needs to be to make a battery (the important question is do you know how to make a fully functioning battery like this?). In 1982 they changed the makeup of pennies (again) to be copper plated zinc. So you got like 95% zinc, the rest copper. Why not just buy copper since it's currently less than $3 a pound? Zinc is presumably even cheaper, otherwise the penny composition would probably be reversed. Sounds like a better idea than stacking tiny pennies that have only tiny amounts of copper in them.

EDIT: did me some research. It would cost roughly one dollar more to buy a pound of pennies than to just buy a pound of copper. Zinc is less than a dollar a pound (remember if you bought a pound of pennies 95% of that pound is zinc). In conclusion, saving pennies to use their metal composition is literally not worth it.

Yes it is David Don't know much about lead other than how dangerous it is. Can it be used in the same way?

Lead can be very dangerous and induce a "sudden illness" at 800 ft. per second and up.....

You must realize that if a force ever does attack the US mainland they will be pretty equipped. NVGs, thermal imaging, top notch comms, and better weapons. Not including man power and air. If you think going out in the woods and hiding will save you realize that the enemy has the training and tech to find you. If you want to survive then submit yourself to the possibility of refugee camps or if you want to be part of the resistance then better get with a group. Whatever your choices make sure your positive of what it is you're getting into cause there won't be a chance to change your mind.

Too this day I do not believe there is a first world nation that would have technology of this nature that could equip, transport and execute and invasion across either ocean barrier bordering the US with any element of surprise. Without the element of surprise tactical nukes or conventional weapons could be used to eliminate them mid ocean.

My biggest worry is the Damn Yankees coming back after the second succession!

Hunter you should probably make the switch to silver bullets. Everyone talks about the zombie apocalypse, but the experts all agree a werewolf apocalypse is much more likely.

Got it covered...silver tipped bullets.
Problem is, when you shoot a werewolf, they change back......most seem to be people I know ...that owe me money.....

[Iskander]

Shooting silver into people that owe you money definitely doesn't make sense either. I don't know what to tell ya man!

[natertot]

I personally believe that we will experience a civil war in our country before we experience a world war 3. Either way, the preparedness should be the same.

as far as sex toys go, mine is always attached and requires no batteries!

[oldsoldier]

"sex toys" ...... Seriously?

I think after the first two or three items my mind kinda turned off! Had to go back and read the list to see where I moissed that one. LOL

[oldsoldier]

Me and my buddies are gonna go all "Red Dawn", the senior version on 'em!

Come on up if ya want to and group up with my bunch of old farts!

[Iskander]

Did it get turned on after going back and seeing that?

[hunter63]

Bunch of old guy probably need the sex toys...or meds....

"Here they come, shake your rubber Richard at them"....that outa scare off any one......

Yes, it certainly is...

But in all seriousness, if he really wants to store metals for WWIII, I think a muzzleloader, several pounds of powder, and a bullet mold would be a good addition. I don't know how well a copper bullet will work, but it may be worth a shot. Like somebody else said, lead would be good too. As long as you have something to make bullets out of, powder, and flints or primers, you've got the potential to take game and if you play your cards like a pro, maybe even defend yourself against a single attacker...

Now that I think about it though, you could get a bow and skip a lot of the trouble...

I agree. The US is too advanced and strong to be invaded overnight. And on top of that I believe it's around 88 of 100 Americans own firearms. And we all know that we Americans are born with the passion to protect what's ours. I'm just making a note that if a "RedDawn" scenario arises you won't do like the movie and head a revolt.

And I too am more afraid of the yellow belly Yankees and libs trying to ruin my way of life!

[kyratshooter]

If I don't head the revolt who's going too?

These young whipper-snappers of today don't know crap about fighting a guerilla war!

!!!! WOLVERINES !!!!

[Iskander]

Not that I'd like to take a muzzleloader to a gunfight, mostly because I don't want to even engage in a gunfight, but at least it's better than a fistfight...

Now that I think about it though, you could get a bow and skip a lot of the trouble...

Bowfight could be interesting. Why do you say a gunfight is better than a fistfight? You're much more likely to die in the former. But in this imagined doomsday/WW3 world if you get in a fight (unless it's just a scuffle with someone in your group) it's probably going to be to the death. So fists, guns, a rolled up magazine, whatever you can do to mean you being alive and your attacker not. But I'd rather be the one with a gun not a magazine..that would be OP. He's going all out with sex toys so I'm assuming he's at least got some nudey mags in that essentials list too. You could offer a deal, like throw in a Penthouse for each one of your customers that buys a pocket pussy or whatever.

[Davidlastink]

Copper wire and magnets.

As far as WW3 numbers can beat tech. Northern invasion, dem Can-indians with their maple syrup are just sleeping, they provide the foothold and the Chinese can roll over a big chunk of wash/northwest, including alaska.

Its hard to see Canada as a threat but they are if they care to try.

[xjosh40x]

Ha I served with some Canadians overseas. Good guys but it's true, they are extremely apologetic haha. They would attack then apologize.

Seriously, I could see an invasion. But not a mass invasion. The American military is a lot stronger than the public realizes. Our leaders....eh I'd rather keep my mouth shut. But the individual troop will fight to the last breathe and be thankful for the chance. I could see a sneak invasion of a large terriorist cell sneaking across the Mexican border cause we all know with the new administration how relaxed it had gotten.

The Second War of Northern Aggression...
