I perfectly understand the point of defense against raiders,and in general terms of security,but where do zombies fit into the picture?
I mean,they will generally NOT be aiming for biting the center-mass until the targets is down,usually with a bite to the neck or a limb,as those are more accesible.You could create pads to fit around your neck(which would be rather uncomfortable) and wrap around your wrist,but would that be enough to buy you time(your not going to stick around being bitten all day,are you).Of course you could go for the extreme options such as wearing an NBC class EOD battlesuit,but that is probably not accesible to most people. I have a Class II-A Kevlar Vest,I brought off tradme second hand for around about NZ$299.00 with little wear and tare,but it is said to only be effective against handgun ammunition,but you should be taking cover if engaging in a firefight.One word of advice,DO NOT get a false sense of indestructability from these products.

Yes, in June my family is moving out of Queens, NY! We are moving to Homer Georgia, Northeast of Atlanta. My mom got a superintendent job for the school there. I have found a trade school for diesel and truck mechanics fairly near by (an hour drive each way), and have gotten accepted for the fall semester.
I love the idea of getting out of New York with it's smog, crime, and gun laws.

Jeez, it seems that everybody just went "Poof!" and disappeared faster than the support necessary to pass more gun control! I kid, let's not open that box up, but for real --- where is everyone? Is anybody still out there?

Ive been packing to move into my new house and as I was packing the closet I found a handheld CB radio I havent used in years. I bought it from a coworker for around $50, took it home used it a little and stored it. He was a hobbyist CB radio operator/repairman/tweeker. He has this think cranked up a little.
Tonight I was playing with it in the yard trying to find a skip. Anyhow, anyone here use CB radio or plan to use it SHTF? I have alot of questions lol

Well, I'm sad to say that real life finally happened to me. I had to trade in the Hummer for something *sob* more practical. We needed less debt to help with our upcoming mortgage so I picked up a Pathfinder.
Now as a former Nissan Xterra owner I've got a good idea as to what I'm getting into here. I will say this though, wow. These people sure know how to put more gadgets into a vehicle than I've ever seen before. There's cameras and dvd players, and and all sorts of switches and buttons I haven't even tried yet so that's kind of exciting. I'm also looking into lift kits and larger tires and of course one of my custom light bars (check my profile for the xterra light bar) but otherwise I'll leave it pretty much as is. Better make a point to this thread or it's going to seem like rambling so..... as far as survival goes have you ever thought about how much more or less your vehicle is going to make you prone to looting? Kind of like having a BOB that screams militant, having a vehicle that seems uber capable might make the neighbors remember you come an apoc situation. Just a thought.

As you are all aware my emergency plans involve holing up on my families farm. It has goats, chickens and alpacas, a few fruit trees, greenhouses, a generator and a acre of 4 foot high hard fencing around a pasture. It has 14 acres, 3 wells including a old stone well with a solar panel pumping water into a automatic water, a 33 Horse Massey Ferguson tractor. It's pretty well equipped I personally believe. My only concern is That I-84 runs through at the CT/Massachusetts border about 2 miles away from the farm. I'm located in the small pocket of small hilltowns in Western Mass and border the-smallest town in Connecticut (Union Ct has a population of 800 and none of the immediately surrounding towns has over 5000 people. Do I need to be concerned about potential traffic jams on i84? It's a pretty lonely and abandoned stretch of road but it is the major highway connecting between Hartford and Boston/Massachusetts.

I knew there were people from all over the spectrum here, but I would have guessed most would be more conservative. There are way more people leaning to the left and libertarian (bottom). Very informative. Good job Pedro.

i was watching doomsday prepper and it seems that the only people who get an acceptable score are those who are rich or have lots of money. the show has given people who have an insane amount of survival skills a score of 30-40(3-4 month before you die) and those who have such great gear and underground bunkers yet show no actual survival talent a score of 80-90(17-20 months before you die). do you guys think this is true that the wealthy will survive and the poor wont.

I'm watching a new show on Discovery (HD I think) channel called "Surviving Zombies" and although this program is chock full of good info, the location is Montana and the 3 guys on the show really do not have the appearance of 'mainstream' average person. Previous to this show, something called bunkers was on and the same thing: the 'preppers' while average people, kinda were made to appear on the extreme.
These guys are using plenty of ideas, quotes and thoughts we've used here often. Makes me wonder if we were a source for anything.

So, what do you think? Will it take down a grizzly bear? I've been in the market for a .22lr handgun for a while now and finally dropped some money on this little honey. I was more interested in a .22 revolver and will most likely be purchasing one in the future but I thought I'd give this Browning a try. I don't really expect to do much hunting with it. I'm thinking of putting a red dot up top and using it for some plinking fun. What I want to know is if any of you think a .22lr handgun is a good choice for a backpack gun? Would it be worth adding the extra weight or would the space and weight you'd use up be better spent on extra ammo for your primary sidearm or other gear?

They say that a B.O.B should be 25% of your weight so for a 200lb male that'd be 50lbs. To me that's too heavy. Unless you're used to packing 50lbs on your back in your day to day life it'll slow you down and maybe even put you in a situation you don't want to be in.
Not all of us but many of us are working jobs that don't require a lot of intense physical labor. We veg out on computers when we're at home and there a whole lot of channels on cable. Video games have made us a seditary society too. Ever look around at people these days? Eyes are glued to iphones at all times. I think that it's time for me to stick to the bare bones basics now that I'm looking to do a "do over" on my pack. I'm packing for my wife and kids too. We don't need a lot that I've planned. I can't expect them to cover miles of ground with what I've packed them. It's un-realistic. This is a hard thing to admit but when it comes to prepping something I've learned, re-learned and re-re-learned is this. You never stop learning. So what's an honest assessment of your bag? Are you where you want to be or are there some things you believe you need to re-think?

I have been plotting ever so slowly to have multiple bug out locations, run by members of my group to fall back upon. Every person's home is a mini fortress, food, weapons, medical equipment etc etc. My own personal goal is 30 days worth of food for 12 people and 14 days worth of water. I have the firepower to equip a fireteam. I am going to help my brother by selling him one of my AR's for cheap, so he would then have two long guns at his house, I am encourging him to get a tactical shotgun and another pistol. He is also working on his own food stockpile as well. I have a friend who is starting to get into the idea of being a prepper and I hope in about two to three years of encouragement he will also be fully in the fold.
My long term goal is to have 4-5 locations that are friendly to each other and would take each other in, and help each other out in the event of a crisis. Strength in numbers and multiple locations to fall back upon are the course I am plotting for my group. So what are your Strategic plans?

I've resently taken a shine to my fathers old crosman 781 and i was wondering if any-one could tell me rather the .177 would be a suitable small game and pest control gun.
Of course i've tried getting a real gun but the gun-laws in Belgium are like Obama's wet dream, i'd have to jump trough hoops and wait for six moths just to own a single-shot .22lr at 20 times the production price. So crossbows and airguns it is. A few questions; - Would a pellet at 400 fps to the face be enough to stop an average person from attacking, what about a whole 8 shot clip? What about at 625 or 750fps. -Is it possible to get crosman weapons and accessories from there site shipped to coutries outside of the united states? I could order a rifle and only a rifle at the local store with 3 months wait and triple the price but, you know. -Whats your favorite pellet and why?

These are 2 terms I learned today while looking through youtube vids. Now I'm sure most of you know what these terms mean but after listening to the guy explain them I realized I'm more of a greyman. So my question to you is which do you consider yourselves?
