Re: Walmart ammo

I keep my "sense of adventure" in a lockbox in the closet. It only comes out if the phrases/words "bodily harm", "suicide attempt", or "what were you thinking" are far, far away. I've never done the "hold my beer" thing cause I don't drink but in my ...

Re: What'd ya get/give for Christmas?

Re: Walmart ammo

I really hate that you posted this today. I would be tempted to go to my local Wally and give it a once over but for the next 4 days I would rather be beaten with barb wire than attempt a Wal-Mart run. :D :roll:

Re: Your choice(s) for SHTF weapons

I am of the opinion that it is best to fill particular categories of firearms. The following is based on someone not having any guns and looking for a starting point for building a minimal battery. And if I were starting from scratch again this would be my sequence. 1: Start with a full size centerf...

Re: Your advice to someone new to prepping

Start simple. Take stock of what you have-- food, water, first-aid, tools (inclusive of firearms), etc. Build up food supplies first. Pay attention to the deep wisdom that you can find on this board (not mine per se; mine is like splashing in the shallows) and others like it. Realize that preparing ...
