Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire SHTF firearm conversation

And of course beyond on our respective (local)communities lies this wonderful place.

It will be over for half or more of the population in the first week, cops, blm and antifa included, when the diabetes, cardiac and copd drug supply dries up.

Who the fugk wants to live in post apocalyptic America. You really want to shoot a 12yo in the face for a can of Vienna sausages? JFC, be a man and put a 45 in your brain pan.

If you live in a subdivision, better make that sooner than later.
If not, make sure you have a defendable location with access to freshwater. I do.

You mean.. Chinese?

That's why I'm partying my ass off right now.



Fuuck it.

I watched part of the Johnny Depp trial(woman had it on TV...) and started thinking to myself...


WTF are you doing Sam?


Party now and die later.

Can you imagine what it will be like when the anti depressants and anti anxiety drugs run out? Yikes!

Many Karen's will freak the fugk out....

I thought the OP was thinking like Slumlord, then find out Slumlord already considered that plan!

What would Zelenskyy do?

Yeah, from the mouth of my friends that just got home from Ukraine (they are going back in two weeks), the "urban combat" that is happening is being shelled from 3-4 miles out with the occasional plain-clothes Russian sneaking up on their compound throwing in a hand grenade through the foyer door, or trying to sneak into the premises to murder people at night with their knife.

As far as the small arms fire, most of the gunshots they hear are NDs from citizen/militia dudes that are trying to get trained up just in case.

Point of reference is Kiev. They got home last Thursday, which its a three day trip.

If I'm part of a larger group of people, I'd carry whatever they have to share ammunition and magazines. If I'm on my own going through things day to day staying as gray as possible in a populated area, a Glock 19 and two to three extra mags are what I want and I'll keep it concealed. If I'm in a sparsely populated area with the potential for shots out to about 600 yards ala our farm, a suppressed RECCE style rifle with a 1-6x is what I'll have. And to be honest, I'll try not to be seen as much as possible.

Frankly, SHTF you're better off being lucky than good. You're better off being dismissed than thinking you're Jason Bourne. While the rest of society will see organization fail, organized crime will still be organized. They've been doing so covertly for decades and maintaining their strength. They are already better at this stuff than you are. That's not going to change. You'd better just get on your knees and pray. You're not prepared or cut out for this stuff.

Always enjoyed the Ferfal blogspot. He describes living in Argentina with the world around him headed to the sewers... A lot of what he saw is possible here IMO. Lots of ideas about firearms and what is useful to have around...Personally I'm a fan of 22 magnum, 5.56, 9mm and 7.62..... 12 gauge to round it out.

👆 Wise words.

Conundrum resolved.

That pretty much covers it if you have been paying attention.

Seems to be a lot sitting around the old campfire, who plan to surrender. That's just not in my nature.

SHTF can be a lot of different things.

I would never seek a decisive engagement against a superior force, that would be foolish. If ya don't believe me, ask Sun Tzu.

However, in situations of civil disorder, simply defending yourself, loved ones, and property could require the use of force. Having a sensible stock of weapons and ammo that can be replenished if needed, is not a horrible part of an overall survival strategy.

Going to need to keep a can of Aqua Net and a spare piezo BBQ lighter in your preps

Gotta have your priorities right. If you die now, you can’t party later 😁
