A while back some friends were talking about what rifle to buy for home defense in a SHTF scenario and were generally talking about AR variants. After listening for a while I jokingly said "For what you're going to spend on an AR I can buy 10 Mosin 91/30s and a case of ammo." That's enough rifles to make sure every house within a 3/4 mile radius of mine has one military caliber rifle and ammo. I'll use my neighbors for perimeter defense.

Won't that be a sight when you and all your neighbors decide to do a little neighborhood watch drill for trainng purposes.

I posted yesterday with the beginning of a minimalistic basis for getting by. Either as a survivor or refugee. I had not posted a firearm as one is not needed as of YET? Basis for one would be commonality of ammunition and iron sights, being able to scavenge ammunition would be nice
(but that could prove to be difficult!! 12 gauge? 22lr?)
You need to be able to stay warm,dry and have water.
Anyone hear of Hypothermia and hydration? fire steel/9volt battery and steel wool/cotton balls and petroleum jelly etc?
How about a clear and calm mind?
Good boots for? The best mode of transportation ever your own two legs
if you are not in good shape you will be!!
"Shelter" para-cord & Tarp=tent? A mid size tarp is very handy

"Were not our forefathers refugees?" Some of my forefathers were german mersanaries, they didn't get paid so we're still here. King George III was a jerk to friend and subject alike! My ansestors couldn't walk home after their side lost, so they had to live out of their packs and by their witts.

latest update. As of 6:30 this evening, which would be 42 1/2 hours, it was deader'n ary doornail. No sign of any glow. But, at ten years out of date it still put out light for more than 24 hours.

Not bad for a 12-hour stick.

Yes - my 30 minute stick lasted 12 hours easy at nearly max lumens. Seeing the 12 hour last double that at nearly max lumens after 10 years demonstrates excellent quality, manufacturing and etchnology from Cyalume technology sticks.

awesome
