keeerriist on a crutch , someone start a prepper type thread and I'll address some things. If you can't talk about it publicly then why ask privately? And do we really need another tangent in this thread?
Food for thought...............true survivalism is *** surviving*** , not indulging your fantasies from call of Duty or whatever.............look to what is going to FEED you and SHELTER you.
And yeah I'm a " gun nut"........so what? Beyond the FACT that maybe ya oughta listen when I tell you that the FIRST firearm you should buy if you don't have one is a .22 rifle , which will ***inargueably*** do more to feed you , store more ammo in less space cheaper , produce less noise etc.etc. than ANY other firearm...........PERIOD.
That's your *first* purchase firearms wise. Especially in the Lower 48. I'm tired of hearing about all the Quasi-Military weaponry and the fantasies surrounding it. And finicky Bench rifles are fine.............on the bench , and I own enough of 'em to know.
And while I'm gigging Sacred Cows , Bear Grylls is a pussy with about zero actual survival skills , Les Stroud is a bit better but still has his head thoroughly up his ass about Cold Country.
And another one that's popular with the PETA/Vegan/ LiberalBirkenstock crowd.......forget the Bear Spray........ANY Bear close enough to be hit by it should have been DEAD 20 feet ago. Don't even bother with an attempt to argue that one , I still have a cabin up off Larsens Bay and a great deal of Bush experience in other areas of the North and frankly most folks in the Lower 48 have NO idea about Bears and co-existing with the big bastards.
Gold and Silver.ROTFLMAO...............as " trade goods"? Puuuullllleeeeaaassse. Think about what a 2lb can of coffee would be worth in barter , a bottle of vitamins , a bottle of decent Scotch............seeds of ANY type , extra ammunition , fishing equipment etc.etc.
Precious metals and fiat currency would become essentially *worthless* in the event of a crash.
Acquire the OLD skills , how many of y'all can cut and beat out a servicable knife from a leaf spring? Dry meat and fish? Make Pemmican? Properly fell a tree and plank it out , hell how many folks here even know what a " Misery Whip" is any more?
And yet another Sacred Cow................LOSE the freaking GPS.......you will anyway if there is no power. Learn how to orienteer and use a compass , learn the skies so you'll know where you are.
And don't subscribe to the bullshit myths about where to find water in the Desert , you start in on that Barrel cactus and drinking the exudate and you'll give yourself Oaxalic acid poisoning , you're not likely to die but the cramps will make you wish you were dead.
Now if someone else wants to start a thread on this crap , fine , I t'ain't addressing it further in this one , I've likely pissed off enough folks about it with this diatribe as it is.
