Good news, last night’s speech by Mr. Trump has helped him win the White House .
Ms. Hillary is finished.

[Sasparilla]

Whoever has a stockpile of TP and Kotex will be King of the World.

[Minutemen]

“Bigger Than (TR)”

You don’t say?

Leaves and ferns are fine - if you can distinguish between poison oak, sumac and ivy

Have a handy reference for fauna

Read what Ferfal said happened to rural folk. Horrifying.

If you might have to travel to get back home in a SHTF scenario here are a couple items that might work for you:

1. - 4-way Sillcock Key (aka 4-way water key)

Used to open handleless outside sillcock faucets on commercial buildings, government buildings, etc.

Fits 4 most common size sillcocks.

Costs about $5 - $10 at hardware stores, Loews, Amazon.

Even with power off and no water pressure you should still be able to get clean water from a multi story building until the pipes run dry.

2. Rig basic trip-wire warning devices with party poppers and fishing line or twine.

Not very loud but enough to provide an early warning at night for an overnight camp site.

Make sure you can get a string or line tied to to the pull cord before you need them. On some you might need to glue a small loop or use a piece of duct tape.

If you are not eating much you don’t need much TP.

Great Ideas,
Thanks.

"If you can change a tire, you can build an AR-15."

Only if you can acquire the parts.

When the American economy collapses so does the rest of the world so gold and silver will be useless. A fifth of anything will get you more bargaining wise.

The purpose for investing in precious metals is to transfer a block of wealth from now into MANY YEARS AFTER THE WORLD HAS FINISHED RECOVERING FROM TEOTWAWKI. Possession of precious metals DURING the siege is a detriment as others will vie to steal it. Precious metals are a time teleportation strategy to re-establish a degree of societal position based on level of wealth.

If Hillary wins in November, Firearms Dealers will have the best Christmas Shopping Season EVER! No brag, just fact.

The brag will be she got the economy moving. Then she'll have created jobs confiscating guns.

if you have a honest one year supply of food, preferably two years, and a good core position in physical precious metals that you hold at home… hidden… not in

What a joke

Yeah right people starving but you have your food and gold

SHTF it is over for modern civilization with no recovery

Massive riots starvation and then plague etc etc as medical supplies become non existent

Modern society is too complex with interlinking factors that affect all facets of life

Most everyone has some number of firearms. Ammunition, ammunition, ammunition, the coin of the realm in such a circumstance.

If Hitlery gets elected it will be the easiest thing for her to tax and regulate into oblivion. Prices are very reasonable now. If Trump wins, what the heck, you can never have too much ammo. Put it in usgi ammo cans and wait for the zombie apocalypse.

Gems are better than precious metals for alternative currency. From a practical standpoint, they are easier to transport and cannot be detected with a metal detector. The biggest downside is they aren’t fungible. PMs can be cut up without loss of value ; gemstones lose value if cut, so you must denominate them by size and grade.

Before everyone starts yelling. Yes, any investment should be after you have your store in order. You can’t eat or shoot gems or gold.

A good stock of wipes, can extend the tp supply. Corn cobs will be in short supply during a shtf situation.

There is a lot more to prepping than stocking up on firearms & ammo. Look to water supply/s & long term food supply, shelter, safety, ect...Having lots of firearms is not the answer. Having a small community around of like minded folks will go a very long way to surviving any major disaster.

A cold frame for starting garden plants is good too.

Or just place them by sunny windows inside your house.

Having built many ARs, I would analogize it to changing out the garbage disposal under the sink. It is not as simple as changing a tire, and there are basic pieces of specialized equipment needed to do the job accurately so that the finished tool works reliably over the long haul. [ That is why I prefer the Osprey Defense piston system over the other piston systems, and why the impingement system is the simplest reliable method for running the AR ... the guy who designed the system was a lot more of a genius than me! ]

That said, once you acquire the basic equipment and build your first one, the rest are almost as simple as changing a tire.
