      Which to stock up on, FMJ or JHP??

      I lucked across a deal on a few cases of Winchester Ranger 147g JHP a while back that we keep for PDAmmo. My reasoning is that we use the cheaper FMJ for training and keep the the rifle, handgun knife order of battle in tact. We've standardized on 9mm and if I get to the point of having to draw...

      The Unrealistic Mentality of the Modern Survivalist

      I think this is spot on and something we have always struggled with in finding like minded people to band together. When I read the OP and subsequent comments, this post over on survivalblog came to mind, its something that's always stuck with me. I think the biggest threat after the golden...

      Machines vs 9mm

      Looking through the site I'd say, shotgun for the small ones. I saw video of the cheetah once, I'd think a bundle of high tensile fence wire would ruin its day. No need for high tech, like the man said a nice hole in the ground would stop most of these. A deadfall, tripwires in the woods the a...

      Get Rich During SHTF

      A quick reply here after reading the thread. IMO Your metals are going to be worthless for a long time to come. And as far as things returning to normal, whats that exactly? The somalia example is a good one, where is the government? I think they were called technicals. Those folks will eat you...

      Propane

      Propane is excellent to store, I have 16 20lb tanks, wife thinks I'm nuts. Collected them over the years, freecycle etc. once the tank hits it's test date just exchange it at lowes for a new one. I have a gas grill, smoker and camp chef stove plus a tabletop propane for regular cooking. Get one...

      Handheld Inventory App?

      I have one I got at Walmart. It's made by Composition and it costs about 99 cents. Best of all its solar powered, I sit in the sun and write in it. :D

      My take on GHBs, BOBs, EDC, and other types of bagged preparedness.

      That is the best damn stuff in the world. This has been a good thread, what the critics don't get is that in a get home situation SHTF situation something like a 0.5 oz toothbrush and a face wash with some water can refresh and refocus a mind like nothing else.

      Anyone here have any experience with building a green house?

      Ana White | Build a Barn Greenhouse | Free and Easy DIY Project and Furniture Plans Pretty straight forward. This is what I'm building. I live next to a guy that sells pipe. I have almost all the lumber scavenged. Pretty much my only expense will be the roof nd side material. Remember you...

      Steel vs. Brass

      Both the 193 and 855 runs fine in my AR, I have a Spikes Midlength. This is the lake city ammo. Mil surplus-ish. I would imagine any 45 would start to fall off at 50 yards.

      Steel vs. Brass

      For my AR I am shooting and stockpiling brass. Its not the steel casings that causes fouling from the steel ammo its the powder. Both combine to make a less expensive round. But I'm finding it just as cost effective to buy my 5.56 in bulk brass i.e Federal surpus as anything else. The Privi has...

      chrome lined barrel in SHTF?

      for a few bucks more I got one of these: ST-15 16 Mid-Length LE Carbine [STR5035-MLS] - $859.95 : Spikes Tactical Very highly rated, solid rifle. I'd say a search on the boards will pan that out.
