I am highly amused at the various flavors of Zombie Squad Postal Matches. I esp. love the postal match using your bugout gun.

How to make a pull-ring smoke grenade

Goes great with the previously posted video about how to make a smoke bomb.

Im gonna avoid hotlinking the image but if someone else wants to host it, more power to you:

Here’s everything you need to know about Guliani and the 2nd Amendment.
Note the jackale in the background. Which one, you ask? Why, good ‘ol “Never Met A Camera He Didnt Like” Chcuky Schumer.
Remember the whole ‘enemy of my enemy is my friend’ thing? Yeah, well the friend of my enemy….

Buy, Buy, Buy…..

Rudy Gulliani is now trying to paint himself as a moderate supporter of the 2nd Amendment. Read it here.
Remember the old saying about how Musolini made the trains run on time? Well, Giuliani did bring NYC crime levels down but at the expense of civil liberties. However, many New Yorkers didn’t care that people were being denied rights as long as it made the streets safer. My point is that Giuliani is probably a better choice than Obama and Hillary but he is no friend of your gun rights. Make no mistake, people – there is NO candidate running right now (except possibly Ron Paul) who can be considered ‘gun friendly’.

No matter who gets elected, they will not be your friend on the issue of guns. They’ll re-authorize magazine bans, assault weapon bans, etc, etc.

You’ve got approx. six months left to buy the things you need before everyone else reads the handwriting on the wall and prices skyrocket.

Here’s your shopping list: 10/22 mags, Glock mags, SIG mags, CZ mags, ParaOrd mags, HK mags, AR mags and receivers, .50 BMG ammo, .50 BMG guns, 8# kegs of powder, 5k pc. Sleeves of primers, etc.

Personally, I’ve done all I can – I’ve given you guys good deals on AR receivers and AR mags but the rest is up to you.

So Im puttering around in the bunker and while I haven’t reached the perfect quantity on some things I have achieved a Very Comfortable Level on all of them. I don’t have as much ammo as Id like (hey, who does) but I have plenty for pretty much any situation…same for food. So once the guns and butter are done whats left? Well, sadly, the truly expensive stuff –
Backup power for the home
Reliable and durable dedicated vehicle
Secondary Location (i.e. A Chunk Of Nowhere)

Oh sure, I can always use another dozen Glock mags, another case of MRE’s, another package of Duracells, and that sort of thing…but realistically, Im OK on those things for now (actually, a bit beyond OK) so its time to focus on a few other necessities. Unfortunately, as I said, the cheap preps are pretty much done. All that’s left is the expensive ones.

I’m taking the fuel cans that I am keeping to the local carwash this weekend. I figure I’ll dump a few bucks in quarters into the machine, grab the wand and soap up and wash out the fuel cans in case theres any residue of anything ungasolinelike. Once that’s done, I’ll let them dry thoroughly, rinse them out again with some gas, and then fill ‘em up. After that I’ll wipe down the exteriors with some WD40 and put ‘em away for that Rainy Day.

Winter approacheth! The mornings and nights are getting cold so its going to be time to break out the uber awesome fabulous flectarn parka. Also time to put the Cold Weather module into my Everyday Bag. And, if the gods permit it, go hunting this season.

Any post that starts off with “One of my vendors…” must be an interesting one.

One of my vendors has used Euro-style Jerry cans on sale. Also has used military (appear to be Brit military) water cans as well. The fuel cans are the usual European ‘Jerry can’ style…in fact, they’re German made so they really are Jerry. They take the clamp-on nozzles. These cans do not come with nozzles, although they are easily available from pretty much everywhere. Personally, I use a $2.00 longneck funnel for fueling. Anyway, condition is good used. Interiors are all fine. Exteriors have paint worn at the high spots with a touch of surface rust here and there. Mostly cosmetic. Nothing that compromises the integrity of the cans. Gaskets/seals appear great. Keep in mind that if you’re gonna store fuel in these things you’re s’posed to paint them red (for gas) or yellow (for diesel). They are currently a lovely shade of OD. Far as I’m concerned, they can stay OD….far more practical.

Water cans are in black or OD. Pour cap and vent cap are both equipped with keeper chains to keep ‘em from getting lost. Heavy duty plastic very much like the Scepter cans. Condition is good but there’s scuffing and scratches on the exterior. Five minutes with some ArmorAll and I’ll bet they’ll look great.

Obviously I wouldn’t sell either of these if there were any flaws with them that would keep them from performing their duties.

Sadly, because of their bulk and weight (16# fuel, 6# water) these are pretty much local sales only. I’ll ship ‘em if you want but they aint gonna be cheap to ship. Quantities are limited.

Fuel can: $25 or 2/$45
Water: $25/2 sold in pairs

So…any local LMI that want some of these, c’mon by during the day between noon-5pm and see if these are something you’re interested in.

And, of course……..

Well..this should be interesting.
Anyone local who wants to stop by for water jerrycans (shown in pic) and euro 5-gal. cas can. (not shown…yet) should do so over the next few days.

Got a letter from the folks at Mountain Housetoday. They say that in an effort to ‘protect the Mountain House brand’they are now setting up a policy where dealers cannot sell the #10 canproducts for an amount less than 80% of MSRP. In short, your MountainHouse dealer, if he wishes to remain a dealer, cant discount the stuffmore than 20%. So…if you havent gotten yours yet, you might wannahunt some down before the various vendors raise their prices.

Moral: buy ’em now while you can get them at good prices.

Living off the land..in Brooklyn NY.

Howard figured his farm could provide him enough food for amonth late in the summer and began preparing in March. He builta chicken coop, dug a drainage system to water his crops, spentthousands of dollars on topsoil to cover his yard’s lead-rich,nutrient-poor clay and bought rabbits, ducks and 25 chicks.

He soon learned it was hard work — seven days a week, sixto 16 hours a day, tending his farm nearly every day until theexperiment of eating his food began in mid-August.

When I grew up in Brooklyn you would be amazed how many families, esp. the Italian ones, had intensive gardens on tiny plots of backyard. Tomatoes were the big grower although I recall seing guys growing corn on the edges of parking lots. And tehres always stories of people raising chickens in apartments in the poorer neighborhoods.

In Zimbabwe, the hits just keep on coming:

Pets slaughtered for food

Time to go inventory my freezedrieds and MRE’s. If you need me, I’ll be in the bunker feeling smug.
