Ok, ultimately the problem I have is I don't know how receptive any existing hams will be when I explain that the primary reason I'm interested in amateur radio is for communications and situational awareness during a disaster. I'm Old School in that I still believe survivalism continues to...
Well, a lot of the problem is we're not even sure what questions to ask. Basic radio use is one thing, but some of the equipment have so many options and capabilities that we're rather overwhelmed with what we want to ask.
That was one of the reasons we want to find someone down here. An...
Well, ultimately, there are a few of us who would like to add in Amateur Radio to our Preps. Would like to discuss with someone the best route to go. We understand we need to take the basic test(s) and all, but really have no idea what would be the best way to proceed after that.
We're not...
I have a trio of USP Pistols I'd like to have checked out, one with an actual "problem" (DA/SA is now reverting to DA-only) and a couple of basic modifications to the other two (mainly replacement of hammers).
Are there any QUALIFIED H&K Gunsmiths in Indiana who I can trust with the weapons...
I just found this thread, so forgive my tardiness.
I have a bit of experience with buried caches. Last year, I pulled up a cache I put on my parents' land over 25 years ago. Inside I had stored an AK, seven 30-rd mags, one 5-rd mag (fully loaded), 215 rounds of 7.62x39 ammo, mag pouches, and a...
With my luck, that 10 minutes would find me either sleeping, or taking a shower. Probably the latter, so I'd lose a few minutes to dressing (or maybe not, to the chagrin of the neighbors).
But, our preps are scaled. We have a large Load-out Bag that contains our BOB's, primary weapons...
So, I just googled the towns where Antifah is supposed to hold their big to-do's tomorrow and discovered that, according to the InfoWars <cough> website, Indianapolis is one of the towns.
Even better, the location for the rally is. . .yep, you guessed it. . .the Indiana State Fairgrounds...
The problem with EMP is not if your vehicle will start. Sorry guys, but nobody will know until it actually happens.
If your car still runs, great. . .that's not the real problem The real problem is that the grid will be down. No power means no production or distribution capabilities for...
I guess I'm too damn practical. Everyone wants a tacticool 'hawk whereas I have a hawk to use as a tool when I go deep in the woods (or backyard). I did a lot of research and eventually picked the basic, boring Trail Hawk from Cold Steel. I made a couple slight modifications to the handle...
I've heard rumor about a knifemaker here in South-Western Indiana in the Poseyville area. Yeah, it's a little in the sticks, but it turns out that a friend of mine wants a special knife and he wanted it from this particular knifemaker.
But, slap me on the ass and call me Francine if I can't...
My story is much more complicated. I hate posting when someone else posts the same info or response as what I would. In other words, I won't post a response if someone else has given one that's the same as mine. I could just post "ditto," but I find that redundant.
INGO is VERY active...
