My thought is that people are stocking up for the possibility of election violence. I have not heard of transport disruptions (other than the hurricanes in my AO) in a couple of months.

From NPR : A Crisis Within A Crisis: Food Insecurity And COVID-19 - 49 minutes of audio at the webpage along with 4 links to related COVID food insecurity stories. I'm good on food/water & I hope everyone else is also. Good luck & GOD Bless. About a 30-45 day supply of basic staples here, which is ...

So where CAN I get the OFFICIAL ZS stickers? I'm having a little trouble navigating the site. Unfortunately, unless you find a member with a stash and willing to share you can't. The ZS store is closed until further notice and may or may not reopen. It's up to the ZS BoD and our current sysadmin (w...

[Edited for commentary] The whole Kyle Rittenhouse issue is a great example of what can happen if you execute your right to self defense. Because Kyle put himself in a position where he felt his life was in danger and reacted with deadly force, he was arrested, charged and that moment will flavor h...

A lot of the items I've had on Amazon's "Subscribe & Save" are coming up as unavailable. Everything from women's vitamins to my preferred ice tea mix. No real rhyme or reason for it that I can see. UHT milk is unavailable for 2% one week but I can get 2% lactose-free, skim, and whole, then next time...

Awareness that we as a country still have enemies out there who are plotting and working towards our downfall isn't a joking matter. In all likelyhood, this was another sting set up on hapless idiots by the FBI. In nearly all of these advertised "terror attack thwarted" stories, the actors have no ...

Acquired a couple more big rocks/small boulders to line the sides of the driveway. Our dirt driveway is about 100 yards long with 60 yards of that through woods, the rocks are for decoration (not all that uncommon around here) now but have the added function of blocking car/truck access if rolled i...

Brain-eating amoeba in water supply spurs Texas city to declare disaster

Okay, it's an amoeba, but it eats brains and is genuinely deadly so close enough.

They'll be getting a C&D letter.

Crimson Trace CWL 202 Weapon Light LED with Remote Switch with 2 CR123A Batteries Aluminum Black I needed a light on my AR but not the Olight PL-2 Valkyrie I stuck on it for the time being. I wanted something with a remote switch, not too expensive and not junk either. And I had a budget of $80 to ...

You're perfectly right, Fox News continues to be an ongoing threat, like most news stations.

Awareness that we as a country still have enemies out there who are plotting and working towards our downfall isn't a joking matter.

Coronavirus mutation emerges that may bypass mask-wearing, hand-washing protections

Clever girl...

This is just a reminder not to forget that, amid all the current turmoil taking place around the country, civil unrest isn't the only threat we need to prep for and be aware of.

Two men arrested after allegedly planning ‘Netflix worthy’ terrorist attack on US in support of ISIS

I found this link on the othernet web site (in the wiki) which gives a good explanation of what this does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCewB_PuvDk&feature=youtu.be Perhaps the answer to raptor's question is that the setup costs are very low and running costs are zero. Yes that makes more sense ...

Welcome back. What was your forum name in your first ZS incarnation? I bet one of the mods could resurrect your old account.

You wager correctly.

I don't like the new ones, designs are too busy, don't get to the point.

Where are you seeing new ones?

Greetings all, I hope everyone is healthy and safe. For those interested in an off-grid receiver project, take a look at www.othernet.is . I've got to tinker with getting my connected to the satellite since I just got it, but it uses a 10kbps satellite link to download news, radio, aprs, and weathe...

Added 400 IU of vitamin E to my daily meds now. For a guy who hates taking meds and pills I sure take a bunch of 'em these days. 200 mg Lyrica every 8 hours 60 mg propranolol every 12 hours 10 mg ezetimibe daily 50 mg losartan pot. daily 12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide daily 81 mg aspirin daily 5,000 IU...

[Edit: looks like NIJ does not certify Lvl III for any 5.56 threat, but suggests it is fine for .223 hunting ammo, and recommends Lvl IV for 5.56] I've seen video (scouring my YouTube history for it at the moment) of both XM855 and XM193 going through Level III+ plates. http://www.youtube.com/watch...

And just as a fun fact, an old friend of mine from when I lived in NYC, his father was one of the engineers who developed DTMF back in the day. I thought that was a pretty cool thing when I found out.

The stun, kill, and revive functions, at least, falls under telecommand, and the auxiliary and remote station rules, and is allowed under the regs. From http://www.arrl.org/auxiliary-station-faq : "Telecommand is defined by the FCC as a one-way transmission to initiate, modify or terminate function...

One of the things I hope are being realistically considered and plans drawn up to prevent, is mob attacks against election ballot counting locations and polling places. I think such attacks are a distinct possibility as the more doubt and turmoil that can be sown the less likely it is all going to b...

So looks like Palmetto State Armory is buying Remington. I didn't see that coming.

Makes good sense for them though.
