Zombie Squad

So I guess this is the right forum to put this in. We're looking to add a K98 Israeli conversion rifle to our collection. Something in my searches seems odd to me. Are fakes a common thing to be concerned about? I've read that most of these are going to be REALLY beat up from all the history they've...

Have a 10/22. It has a wood stock (Boyds). Currently, the 10 rd mags insert and drop freely.... but I think if I beveled the inside edges of the wood of the magwell with a dremel just a little it would help give me a wider target and help guide mags in without having to look or fumble so much. Not t...

Just because they're red doesn't mean they're anywhere near ripe. The "dryness" you taste is astringency..... the taste of an unripe apple. The solution to your problem is to wait, nothing more. Taste one every week. You'll notice a gradual change. Since you don't know what varieties these are, you ...

Apparently, StarKist was under filling their 5 ounce tuna cans for a very long time. If you bought any of their affected products between February 9, 2009 and October 31, 2014 you can fill out a form for compensation. You don't have to have a receipt, but you do have to swear under threat of perjury...

Thank you for telling us so many of your stories. I'm not kidding when I say you've lead a truly amazing life. The places you've been and the things you've done! If I live to a hundred I'll be lucky to have half as many stories to tell. Keep fighting, but if you have to go, I hope you go with a grin...

Alright, this looks like a good thread to necro on the topic. When it comes to the AR500 plate, Is the optional "extra thick" coating of anti spalling material really necessary or is it just an opportunity for an added charge? If it was necessary, why wouldn't it be standard? Sorry if this has been ...

Skimmed the other posts, sorry if this is a repeat. Neighbors. If you find a house you think you like, go over and knock on some neighbors doors. Tell them you're looking at buying the house and ask them what they think about the neighborhood and the house.... they may volunteer useful info about th...

Well that was much better, had me worried for a moment. Now we all know this will not work out. The question is how is this going to go South on the group. -We already had the mad tyrant. -Cannibals have been done. What is it going to be? Go... My guess is everything is fine with the other group. H...

Alright, so pardon the dumb question. Is m855 somehow "better" ammunition to use in a hypothetical self defense situation involving SHTF or zombies? I thought soft body armor wouldn't stand a chance against "regular" OR m855 ammo... because soft armor is made to stop pistol ammo, not rifle ammo. I u...

If I found out today? Bug IN! We've got nowhere better to go than here (in this situation) I'd need to get more gas for my generator. I only have 10 gallons in reserve. I'd need to get more potable water as well. I have over 30 days worth, but not 60 and I don't want to have to haul any more water o...

Figured it out. Thanks anyway.

This is a great thread. I hate to see it die. I like reading about peoples victories and it's good encouragement! It seems the general economy is improving somewhat now. It's a long slow crawl back up but I get the feeling we are headed in the right direction. Now is not the time to get complacent o...

FYI for anyone who reads this thread thinking they can live off the land come SHTF. Get used to eating bugs. Seriously . Don't expect to eat mammals, birds, and fish. Expect 99% of your meat diet will be bugs. Learn what bugs are edible in your area and which are toxic. Of the edible ones find out ...

Although I have fermented this to get the carbonation instead of forcing with co2..... This guy has a great recipe for ginger beer (soda). Add lime juice and dark rum to your finished ginger beer (soda) and you have a dark and stormy, and that WILL get you drunk. =) http://www.jeffreymorgenthaler.co...

I figure the most people who would be interested in something like this would be in this forum so I'm posting it here. My mom is writing a book about Organic Gardening for Beginners and I told her I would help her out. She is trying to figure out what subjects she needs to cover. So if you wanted t...

Got a mate who has a propane shower set up. I will have to look into how that works. It looks fairly set and forget. This sort of thing. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l41Ik9b8PK0 This one looks dodgy but cheap. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aI9YlsyX57w Looks like it requires a running faucet to hook ...

We had a nasty storm this week. 8o mile an hour straight line winds. Lots of rain, thunder and lightening. Trees are down EVERYWHERE. Every house on my street has broken limbs or whole trees blown over. Some are on houses and cars, others took out power lines. My 5 year old fruit trees are permanent...

I saw this article on FB and it got me thinking. I think I handle firearms responsibly but I need to pay attention and see if I do some of these things. https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/tune-up-your-gun-handling/ Thought you folks might appreciate the read. The Gut Racker This error most commonly o...

You know I never thought about putting matzoh in our preps. I grabbed a bunch of those big cases of Shabbaot candles when they were on sale and I got some gefelte fish.... no matzoh. Thanks for the idea! Just make sure you're getting enough fiber if you are going to be living on it for a while. Matz...

Dead Island for 360. It starts slow, but I'm half way through it now and it's pretty good.

Loved the fallout series, Halo back in the day, Torchlight, Diablo 3, Portal...

Zombies have calcium depletion and have softer bones for whatever reason, thus these skull piercings scenes are so easy to do. I know, right? Watermelons are harder to crack than zombie heads. It seems to be getting worse as the series goes on. At this rate, they'll be poking through mushy zombie h...

Definitely look into permaculture. Also look into garden space. (how large is large? Is it enough to grow adequate food? )You need good sunlight to grow veggies and that might require removing a handful of trees if you need a little more space. Gardens done right aren't as much work as you think. Mu...

Good stories guys (both good/bad...no ugly..yet...). A lesson learned, keep some of the gas on-hand, and write the date on the outside of the can (with a grease pencil, etc.). If nothing happens in 6-8 months, put it in yer car, and just refill the cans. But, those 6-8 months, you not only have emr...
