How is it that RiM and his family got pushed out of the group?
How is it that RiM and his family got pushed out of the group?
I was wondering? have to be a monster coffee can.LOL.
When you go into town, dig up a few tire tubes. I have about 3 large cans of pvc glue and primier that will work for patching tubes and plugging tires.
They did not get pushed out, but rather chose to go up to the lake.
Works fine as friendlys behind ya, friendlys in front of ya, makes for good security if anything major arises.
not the whole snapper, just the head. I am out. i am not supposed to be here anyway.....Originally Posted by spiritman
FVR on radio silence, guard duty.
oh ok, I would be glad to learn before you toddle off
Before we bury the bus
Hey before we bury that bus let me get the parts I need for my stillHey RIM perhaps we can work out a little bury the hatchet ceremony when I get the first pot of sour mash through that still? Just because civilization has collapsed doesn't mean we can't be civilized right? There's an idea why don't we all get together real neighbor like once we get our food stocked and shelters done. All work and no play blows. Tell you what RIM how about if you let me cull a few geese out of the flocks you got up on that lake (mmmmmmm geese) I'll bring a little nip of some home brew I got in the ruck sack. Any one here play an instrument of some kind nothing soothes the soul like a good ho down. Hey owl girl do you think you can find some sugar beets? I'll give you first nip if you find some
OK well back to sentry duty I'll work on the still later.
We can talk about this when we meet. I am all for trading and I would love a little hooch around camp.Hey before we bury that bus let me get the parts I need for my still
hopefully this works. kind of crappy but oh well

So the guys went to the gas station yesterday. Not much left. There is some gas left imagine that. And the power is on. Got some tea and what ever odds and ends were left. Not a soul in sight they said. So that’s good. Hid the trucks better and got the rest of our stuff.
Our cabin is just about done except for a few details. Put the wood stove from the tent in there. Should keep it nice and toasty. There were some empty drums at the gas station. You guys could use one to build a wood stove. Up to you. Anyway we got it done fairly quickly because we have not really worried about security with an outfit like you guys between us and the road. That being said I would like to loan you 2 of our chains saws and a four wheeler or 2 to use when building your permanent camp.
the loging road is not showing up. it is parelel to the stream to the east of it.
Don't forget, 6 miles south of camp towards RIM's trucks is my truck. It's about a 1/2 mile west of the trail coming in.
Sarge, I have cached a 12 ga pump, with 100 assort. rounds, buck, slugs, and 6 shot. It located buried in front of the truck, there is a small hickory tree, (good bow tree), 5' straght forward under the rotting pine, about a foot down in a cheap case.
Just did not want to carry it.
Paint is going further than I expected.
Latrines about done.
I have to start on these hides are they are going to be really rank. Let me know how many you want with hair on and hair off.
Oh yeh, anyone have a bar of soap, gonna need it after this hide work is done.
No smartass comments like "oh, that's not the latrine, FVR is 50 yards over there" hahaha.
Yea I got a bar of soap and Instant hand sanitizer
might i sudjest you take one of those bus tires and put it wherever your fall back point is. It can be lit when you are in real trouble. We will see it and bring firepower. It is in our best intrest you all survive and if they came from the road the might not be expecting extra AR fire from the woods..
Just a thought your camp is 15 miles from me and I can get there in probably less then 30 min. Stop just short and hiking the rest. At the very least the last one standing please set something one fire as I would like to know it is going down and the next poeple into my camp get shot on sight. (besides your crew) Might want to keep and I eye on DEET. I met him at the meeting place. Shared some fish and talked shop. Let trax know we have agreed to leave a hidden Ammo box which we can leave messages for each other about game, the goings on, and next meeting plans. I think it will take the mil. a while to even know we are here. The guys saw nothing and no one on teh way to and from the gas station. I think the mil. has already swept through..
Guard Duty times revised. Again.
2100 to 2400 Trax and WE
2400 to 0200 FVR & Foggy
0200 to 0500 SM and VW
0500 to 0800 Owl-Girl and Nell
0800 to 1100 Lumpy
1100 to 1300 Deet
1300 to 1600 Spiritman
1600 to 1900 Marscroft
1900 to 2100 Sarge After dinner.
VW,
No, I did not touch the corpe's. Wrapped bandanna around my nose and mouth as the place stunk. I carry nitrile gloves in my pack for cleaning and dressing game, and burying dead people.
I will keep in check with my health. If I notice anything out of the ordinary, I will just leave a note, then up and leave. No good byes.
Now we need to find out about that goose and mallard I brought into camp yesterday. The goose was small, but looked healthy. The flocks, both goose and mallards looked fine feeding in the shallows.
Ask RiM to keep an eye on the flocks up there at the lake. I don't expect a problem as the mallards don't migrate and the geese up there seem to be hanging around.
May want to hold off on anymore birds.
WE, may want to do a little sneak preview on that RV he mentioned a few days ago. Eyeball from a distance.

As ya'll have seen, picked up the tepee today. If'n the ladies want their own housing, they can have it. With the rest of the paint, and cover it should be very concealed.
Sarge, if you don't want that shotgun, may just want to leave it there. I almost forgot about it when leaving the truck. Use to stick it under the seat. Well, we can leave it for emerg. sit. if needed.
We need to have a sit down. If for some reason we are attacked, we need two rear exit points and a rendezvous point, a fare piece away. At that point we need to have a cache of guns, ammo, food, and water.
We all need to agree, that if we are emerg. exiting out of our camp, and we "know" we are being tailed, or even think we are, DON'T GO STRAIGHT TO THE RENDEZVOUS SITE!
I suck at booby traps, anyone good at them?
Whatever we do, we need to let RiM and his group know. This is paramount as we don't want any friendly kills.
Uh, excuse me!
Has anybody here ever handled a bus tire before? They're tall & heavy, around 100 lbs. and held down with some really large Lug nuts...about 9 of 'em. They're 22 ply which means you can drive them till the treads gone, re-grove them and drive a whole lot more. This ain't yer Granny's Buick, OK? It takes two mechanics with a really long super heavy-duty floor jack just to change them...good luck, I'll be makin' coffee.

Game Plan
I recommend we build an algonquin (sp?) style long house for ease of building compared to strength and it's easy to keep warm. Also I'll keep my FAL up in the birds nest, also if it's okay with VW I'd prefer to have the birds nest if a fire fight ensues, I feel I can better protect the group from there. Need to sit down with everyone and review proper handling and use of our fire arms, if I go down someone needs to be able to take my position in long range diplomacy. VW I feel fine no cough or anything, also given the state we are in I won't be building the still it's too easy to smell it and find our camp. I'll adjust the modulator on my dynamo powered ham radio to match the frequency of the walkies, we'll use that for the base radio since it has a longer range than the walkies and it's a little heavier that will free up one of the walkies. If noone minds I'd like to take some parts from the bus and the trucks to make 2 medium range tarnsmitter/recievers. One for our camp and one for RIMs. If the SHTF we can communicate with RIM without any visible or audible signal, should help his response time to us considerably. Hey RIM does anyone in your party know morris code? By the way my civilian job is an electronics tech so I'm pretty good at playing with the radios. We're gonna have to hold off on the ho down for now Rim, maybe once all this settles down a bit. What kind of booby traps do we want? Anti personnel or signaling I'm good at both.
