Indeed. I have acquaintances who absolutely refuse to come to terms with the "logistics nightmare" of their firearms/ammunition. These guys have put considerable thought into what they are doing from all sorts of angles, but how they intend to haul so much stuff for even a short distance is not really clear.
Unless they "fort up," they are screwed... and a couple of them dwell in what would make mighty bad "forts."
Exactly. It’s not about what you have in the basement or garage. It’s what you can carry on foot that counts. Try loading up with basic survival gear including three days rations and water plus a rifle and just 60 rounds of .308 in loaded magazines and see how far you can walk in a morning. (Don’t over do it)
When I was 18 it was hard and I was grateful when I was given the little plastic rifle. Sure, it would break in half if you tried a butt stroke with it or used the stock to break your fall like they taught you with the M14, but you could carry 20 loaded magazines easily and the rifle felt light as a feather...at first.
