Zombie Squad

:oh: I would wonder why they want you in the basement? Concern about gunfire? That would be the first assumption. I've heard of the suggestion from police a few times in my life. I think I'd rather sandbag outer walls in a room three feet high "safe room" style than go into a crawl space for an und...

Wait, sorry, I forgot something: Obviously, you should dig a basement, and have a concealed entry from the crawlspace. Do it like that guy in--I think it was Detroit?--that just slowly hauled the dirt out so that no-one realized he had a whole bunker under his house. But make sure it's a properly pe...

Could you 'semi-finish' the crawlspace? Like buy/build/rent an earth tamper and level and harden the floor? Wouldn't need to be up to full rammed-earth standards, but probably help things along and make sleeping more comfortable. Maybe section off an area as a toilet, maybe just some hooks in the jo...

They have those, as well as a simplified version, splattered all over work. Aside from one haircut in like April, the riskiest thing I've done is go grocery shopping. However, given my shopping habits (I tend to go in only if there's basically no-one else there), I think I'm still in the low-risk gr...

Well, when the zombies come, just remember to shoot for the groin.

...so you'll headshot the one to the right.

My sister, nephew, and mother are coming down from DC to stay with me for a few days. I live down in southern maryland away from the city. I don't think much if anything is going to happen. But, always be prepared. A few gallons of gas is a perfectly reasonable cost, to be out of the area in case t...

Some of the other sites I visit, prepping related, are experiencing issues with the current Great Purge happening in the big tech world. I'm rather glad ZS is still up and active. And working hard towards becoming as "purge proof" as possible. 8-) arfcom got purged. Back up now, fortunately. The do...

Y'all should be keeping an eye on HR 127.

No details yet, but the title is pretty indicative.

That said the RE market in the area near my farm in rural MS has been booming even with new housing going up. I actually had someone (with a NY plate) drive down my driveway and offer to buy our place from my wife. She was neither pleased nor impressed with the intrusion. She also strongly suggeste...

Are we back?

I dunno...the current IP is in the New Jersey/New York area, rather than the Chicago area. What that actually means, I'm not sure; it could be an endpoint for NT2C's host, or it could be where Kyle lives.

Guess we'll just wait for an official update.

So what's the word on the JFPO ? Also, apparently Benelli's patent on their M4 shotgun expired recently and a clone has already popped up on the market. I got an email from Classic Firearms about the Panzer Arms M4 and it looks pretty good. I used to want a Benelli M4, but the cost was way out of m...

Okay, I've been talking with Kyle this morning and we're going to do the move later today (early evening on the US East Coast). You can expect the forums to be down for up to 24-36 hours but probably less than 12.

So...1-36 hours. That's some fine guesstimatin'.

For those who can't/won't connect with family tribe, there is always "tribe of choice." Results will likely vary, but that can be said of almost anything. ZS IS my tribe of choice. :awesome: So, whose basement are the wife and I moving into? Oh, and our three cats. :mrgreen: On the more serious sid...

I look forward to a range report, I don't like the open sights on my Rossi, but not sure what to upgrade to. I kept going back and forth between the model from Steve's Guns that replaces the safety lever on the bolt and the Skinner sights option that puts a peep or ghost ring where the rear sight a...

I can't say as I'm particularly familiar with mice, but a couple thoughts would be either a plastic tote or a metal cabinet. Plastic totes would be cheaper, and while not exceptionally mouse-proof combined with something unattractive-smelling might be enough to at least point them elsewhere. It'd be...

I think I'd trust random reloads I found on the floor at a gun range more than I trust the media these days. As for the NRA, the big problem a lot of folks have with the organization all stems from Wayne LaPierre and his cronies basically using the NRA as their own personal spending account. Agree ...

After I get the hang of putting it on my own windows, I'll come over and help you with yours. Then throw rocks at your windows. But only for science. Not cause I'm a lunatic influenced far too much by Calvin and Hobbes in my adolescence. It's purely for science and the betterment of this forum. I'l...

We sold our rural property in Utah last summer. Our rural property in KS has just been sold. We got tired of our 'good neighbors' stealing everything not set in concrete, quite literally soon after each visit. You leave preps at a site unattended, count on them being gone - sooner or later. The boo...

Out of 6.5 Creedmoor I was getting 1800 fps with a 90 grain bullet in a 20" barrel, super pleasant to shoot.

That sounds fun, and as the shiny new owner of a 6.5CM I'll have to make a note of that.

Not sure what use I might have for the load, but never know when I'll find one.

I've a couple of their pistol cases. They're actually pretty impressive for their price, and perfectly suitable to my needs.

Picked up an inch-pound torque wrench and scope leveling doodad . The results from the torque wrench were interesting, turns out I have no idea what 18 ft-lbs is; all of my scopes were torqued to maybe 12-14. (I'd actually expected I was over-torquing) Went through and retorqued all my scopes. The ...
