Having actually been in that situation with about a foot of snow on the ground and freezing temp because of a defective def system and supervisor that totally forgot about us after we called in saying were broke down, come get us with one of the SUVs, I can say keep your linen cabinet full of...
I've never been a fan of the hot hands for long term "just in case." I've had a couple of times when I've opened them and nothing. I don't know if the factory didn't seal them correctly or if they were just too old. I keep two zippo refillable hand warmers in my bag with some fuel in a sealed...
Remember several years back? People we stuck in thier car overnight. I believe it was Dec of 2016. There was one video of firefighters having to sit down and slide across the ice because it was so bad. I believe it was Greenwood Fire...
I found a pdf copy of the book a couple of days ago. After scanning through it, I'm glad I didn't pay for it. I've found better information on this site and from the free books on Amazon.
Y'all keep talking about getting shot. You're not supposed to get shot and armor is there should you make a mistake and catch A round. I'm thinking if you're standing still long enough to let them shoot you multiple times in the same place, you weren't ment to survive a shtf event.
One of the news reports I watched that involved the Fire Chief, they said it was mostly "home goods" in that building. So unless everyone has a sudden urge to replace all of their home furnishings, I wouldn't worry about empty shelves from the fire.
I don't want to pay the panic markup right now. The handgun I'm looking to trade sells about the same (depending on the shop) as what I'm wanting to get.
Indiana Firearms in Lebanon, IN did a transfer for me that went very smooth. Parabellum in Avon I believe transfers firearms also. I haven't used them for a transfer but they've also been good to me everytime I've bought something or used their range.
You and I are on the same page. I've been through low light training twice (1998 & 2016) and I have night sites along with weapon lights on most of my handguns and riles. If I'm going to buy a handgun, it must have night sites on it already and a weapon light available for it unless I'm buying...
Because I know a few of you IRL, KEEP YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER.
If you're really concerned with your light giving you away, get some Tactical Balls. Throw one in the general area you want to light up and another where you think someone may be hiding. You may or may not scare them from a...
^^^THIS^^^ One of the things I miss from working in EMS, taking home the stuff that was going to be thrown out. Yes, My Med 1 and Med 2 gave me permission.
Seriously though, if you think about it, what expires in wound packing gauze, NP/OPs, needle, syringes, or tourniquets if the seal is...
Personally I would check WalMart first just because something are cheaper there but I don't know what's in your area. Dollar stores are a good place to look for preps just for the simple fact some people think they're too "good" to shop there. Personally, if I need it, I don't care where I buy...
Just personal opinion based off some of the "scuffles" I was in as a Police officer, don't strap a handgun to the carrier. It just may be I haven't really looked for one but I haven't seen any holsters meant for a carrier that have decent retention on them. I don't want to be rolling around on...
If you're dead set on trauma pads, I would put them dead last on the list of things to buy since you went with the stronger steel plate. I have two of the Testudo Gen 2 carriers. I ordered the trauma pads with my first carrier. After seeing how thick the carrier padding was VS the trauma pad...
