Unless someone is poor and needs to raise funds, there is nothing wrong with having ONE. You just need to have more than one of other items. You don't necessarily need three water filters. You can also have a supply of powder bleach and a solar heater to pasteurize-three ways of doing the same thing, not necessarily three of the exact same tool. With a sweet FAL, just have a couple of back-up bolties in the same round. All my rimfire rifles are different brands/actions. No mags needed, so that simplifies.

One HB A2-klone is none? My factory FAL is a semi with precision of a boltie, but it is too easy to fire fast with a Harris bipod (3 hits in 5 seconds at 200M with peeps). Between the strong arms from carrying the 12 pound beast, and the pleasing .30 report, a person could get overly confident that that pile of corpses over there assures safety and good eating for the tribe. The Israeli and Belgian magazine collection is some scratch, too. Giving ground with fire with a lighter 10 round boltie is likely a better strategy. Fal ammo works in the current commercial bolt action, reducing the sell-buy losses on ammo. Uncle's 7.62MG ammo or brass from 240B or M60 are fine in a bolt rifle, with Lee loader. Just need to find a collector who loves pre-ban battle rifles with ALL of the evil features at collectable low-round-count prices. There might be junk acreage somewhere to trade straight across.

Anything else needed can be improvised with those. Though I do have other tools.<br /><br />I wanted to introduce you to a good YouTube channel if you haven't seen in yet. It's called "Survival Russia." The guys is from Denmark, ex military. His name is Lars. He married a Russian woman and moved to Siberia. He has good information on survival techniques, things like making alcohol, homemade medicine (salves, tonics), how to make a Siberian log fire to last all night, shelters, and just how they survive (including metal detecting for scrap iron to sell). Owns a lot of land. Because he has to deal with bear and moose, he always carries a rifle. (He calls it a "printing tool" so YT doesn't ban him.) He hunts and forages as well. <br /><br />When he's out on a winter hunt, he brings kasha (roasted buckwheat), dry soup mix, usually canned pig meat and a dense bread, but also hunks of fat that look like fatback. That list alone would would make great survival food to stow away.<br /><br />If you haven't watched him, give it a try. I've learned a lot from him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00219430852755819117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-77868371356476523222019-12-04T06:35:32.795-08:002019-12-04T06:35:32.795-08:00Good one, and can't say I've heard it befo...Good one, and can't say I've heard it before.

Downstream to and including davis dam will be wiped out which is upstream a bit of laughlin. So screwed. The power generation lost will probably brown out or shaft california utilities badly on their weak ass shit systems. The loss of the water available to all the state (S) and Millions of mouthbreathers would be biblically cataclysmic. And no it ain't silted, it holds back what was the largest man made resevoir in the western hemisphere, so... Hopefully they still have those Universal Soldiers (Jean Claude Vandaam) badasses at the damn for security detail.<br /><br /> Not much cheap land down there, all blm tied up. Cheap land is usually along the railroad corriders (granted land for building rail lines) or those checkerboard patterned zones on topographic maps, that shows private lands and blm shaded areas. <br /><br />Maybe with Trump moving interior department offices out of the swamp out west, they may get encouraged by some rough looking cowboys to sell off some of the bloated portfolio of holdings, thus juicing growth and expansion opportunities, for some red stater deplorable areas, that vote and donate, just saying. <br /><br />That last paragraph would be swell advice (hint, hint, take notes) to whomever is on duty in the Trump war room, monitoring the "Bison Prepper Blog" for saqe advice and strategy points.

Wild game of all types was so thick that it would make it appear that the ground was moving at a distance and the bird flocks were so dense they would darken the sky. Since the Gold Rush and pioneer days, the elevation of the Central Valley has dropped at least 100' from the groundwater being pumped.

Every couple weeks saying he was done with it and closing up shop due to some nincompoop talking shit in the comment section. I got real excited when he opened up under a new moniker (which escapes me now), but he very quickly went off the deep end, seemingly obsessed with racial garbage. Then quick as he started, he was gone again. I grew up without grandparents and his original blog was like a daily dose of Grandpa for me, I miss him being around. Jim, I find you more like the "crazy uncle" that I'm thrilled to have coming around, despite the objections from the "normal" side of the family! ;-)jlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662563822328082468noreply@blogger.com
