Apocalypse , how long would you survive

[ralph]

'you gov' survey . Kinda similar to the electric grid going down , I just like these polls and surveys , something to think about , maybe prepare for ! --- https://today.yougov.com/news/2015/03/0 ... pocalypse/ ---

My survival plan is based upon being better armed than most people around here.

[ralph]

good PART of the plan . There are other things to consider though but you are off to a good start in my opinion and I'm no expert . As a conservative it looks like your mind set is correct .

[planosteve]

You think you are better armed that roving gangs of looters? Good luck with that.

[GFB]

Roving gangs around here will be armed with recyclables.

A well fed belt fed keeps a secure homestead.

We have food for 4 months, enough ammo, vehicles are never allowed to be under half, wood for cooking,emergency generator, clean water is my weak point ,but I am within 5 miles of a large lake.

Ranch is remote enough to hold out for some time. Welder will run the well, plenty of wood to cook and stay warm, ammo and a 12 volt fuel pump, if it really gets bad. You could fuel from the underground tanks.

do you still have STEVENSONS gun shop in your town Greg , think it was Stevensons . And then right over in Glendale you had Kings , are they still there !!

[BillB]

We always have FEMA.

[jellowrestling]

We store food, water, guns and ammo, batteries. I need to get a generator.

Yes..and there are two other competitors now..within a few blocks, on the same street.

Stevensons, Gun World (the biggest one) and Guns Direct..all are within walking distance of me.

yeah , Stevensons , I was in there but it was a long time ago . Bought an old 12 gauge Winchester pump off them . Good to see that they are still there . You ever check out Martin Retiegs [sp] in Culver City . They were a good store .

Don't know that one. The big stores around here are the "Ammo Brothers"..that's where I bought my Smith and Wesson AR 15 a while back.

check it out , good for current , exotic and edged weapons , antiques , pretty neat place , REDSTAR used to be right across the street but they went to Idaho I think . --- http://retting.com/ ---

Looks like a great place..I'm not interested in antiques or collectibles though..not a collector.

..and I don't hunt. My guns are for shooting humans.

I like all hardware , he had very expensive CLAIMED original muskets from the early 1700s . Same for swords , knives when I was in there maybe 10 - 12 years ago . I like the history plus he has / had nice affordable modern guns at the time . Same thing with 'REDSTAR' when it was across the street . Another good place was PONY EXPRESS somewhere , think it was VAN NUYS but that was a long time 10 - 12 years ago and I think that they were closed down .
