I'll take the flu, thanks. And anyone who tries to force me to take the shot, will take a shot of their own. :wink: --Hatch Hatch, regardless of your feelings on the vaccine, we don't talk about shooting healthcare workers on ZS, even with a :wink: smilie...consider this an official warning...we ca...

For everyone who says, "sure, I'll take it," you might want to Google "1976 swine flu vaccine." The scare and media hype around the 1976 swine flu was pretty much the same as what we're seeing now with this latest manbearpig flu. That 1976 flu epidemic killed exactly one person in the U.S., but 40 m...

This guy might just as well have sent a letter to the ATF requesting to be arrested. Note the picture of the items for sale. Could any reasonable person describe this as anything but an SBR kit? Also, note the incriminating VFG cutout in the case. It's highly likely that the weapon was once in an AO...

If riot control agents become a concern, 2 or 3 bandanas and a pair of swim goggles would hold you. Not as good as a gas mask but it would be better than nothing. Keep a bandana in a plastic bag with half a lime. Obviously you can't just leave a half a lime sitting around in plastic bag or it will ...

In the State of North Carolina, buying a crossbow requires a handgun purchase permit, issued by your county sheriff. Legally, a crossbow is treated the same as a handgun. You even have to fill out a 4473 when buying one, silly as that may sound. But ironically, you can buy a muzzle-loading black po...

My current job field is IT, but my actual job for the last 20 years or so has always been Fixer of Problems, in one form or another. I imagine there will be no shortage of problems in the scenario described, so expect I'd have no problem finding work.

Good post, Dog Off Leash ! I agree with all of your points, but I can definitely concur on points #4 and #6. My wife and I got our GSD from a very reputable breeder that works only with German working dog bloodlines. Not only was the dog very expensive, but the closest reputable breeder of that sort...

fair enough... where I am, the g/f being in the sleeping bag is more than sufficient for the coldest of nights and that only lasts a few weeks like our extreme heat of ... high 80's and low 90s lol ;) before you get angry, I spent 30 years in Phoenix so I know the heat! and the desert cold... ;) Ok...

Could someone break down all the ratings that are avail. such as NBC? I know what an NBC filter does but what do the others use? Im guessing silicon is best since it wont melt off me?

Were you intentionally trying to sound like Master Tatsu (Shredder's right hand man in the original TMNT movie)? Uhhh... probably not, because I don't know wtf you're talking about. :lol: --Hatch :? -1 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles= TMNT, you have seen the movie, right? Nope, sorry. Didn't know it w...

Apparently, it depends on who you ask.

Thanks for understanding! That is an excellent idea. I think I will try to snaggle a copy of the green sheet. Problem is, they ask for it back... I might have to just run out the store with it. "Let's see here, I'll just fill out this green form... ladee da... HOLY CRAP!! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT C...

If someone here, or even at another non-aggressive (sorry, don't like using variants of the word "militia" since the meaning of the word has changed over the past century), were to get arrested/detained/questioned/disappeared/thrown on a watch list for any reason related to prepping (doesn't matter...

QFT. That particular case makes me very nervous about the direction we're headed in.

That's why I said your previous post was about spot on (target). :D I'd still say that in priority commo equipment (and practice with it) falls behind your food supplies (and practicing growing your food), your first aid/medical equipment (and education), your defensive/hunting weapons (and practic...

Look at ZS through the eyes of the "average" American. We're fucking scary. Take the photos from the Hot or Not Mall Ninja thread and show them on the news out of context. Most of your city-dwelling intellectuals are going to say, "somebody needs to do something about those crazies!" I can hear the ...

LowKey - I wouldn't argue that having some comm equipment now, even if you don't have a license, is necessarily a bad thing. And I'm not pushing you or anyone to get a license just to have the piece of paper. I'm only saying that you might not realize the full value and potential of that equipment y...

Did some quick research on the dry ice + pool water thing, and it doesn't appear as though a chemical reaction would take place when dry ice is added to the treated water. Keep in mind that CO2 is pretty inert. HOWEVER, I did find a reference that said that CO2 bubbling in the water would make it sl...

Hatch, I did exactly what you suggested. I wrote down the employees name, and mentioned it in the letter. I was so pissed off I couldn't even speak. My son was with me, and I don't like to ever loose my temper around him. If I had complained to the manager, it would've been pretty heated. BTW, the ...

I read the SPLC report this afternoon. Load of shit. Using the metrics applied in the report, anyone who owns a set of cammie jammies, a gun, more than a week's worth of food, and thinks that the U.S. Constitution is a pretty good foundation for running a country - is a militia member. And then, any...

Just to play devil's advocate here, there is one aspect to this issue that seems to have been overlooked in the discussion so far: "communication" requires two or more parties. One could say, "well, I don't see the point of having a license, I'll just use my comms equipment after the SHTF and figure...
