only if you want to stay alive when the SHTF, and need to fight, fend for or eat.

sad to say but yes what you have is what some one would kill you for, there would be no asking, to many selfish people out there, yes there will be some that what to make a town or a fort, were everyone shares what they have as a community, food, supplies, and aid, need to see water world and the road warrior to see what i am talking about.

We have blowguns (wicked darts!), machetes, slingshots w/ballbearings, crossbows and compound bows, and plenty of redneck ingenuity!!

how true, but greed is an other, so is the lack of know how, i have asked a lot of people about the SHTF time and i was shocked, stunned as to the reply's i got from not wanting to see the end days as to doing them self in, to killing for the sake of killing, this guy did me wrong so who will stop me if he is not dead yet and if he is then i might kill him again, to i will kill to get me by, take from you them by any means, i my self am not looking for the SHTF days but sad to say we are close, just a matter of when. it will be sad days.

177 to 25 cal slugs work better, thought i should let you know, if your going to do it do it right. I would not say redneck but the will to make do with what you have. and know how to make use them.

Rope and a small handsaw or axe.. that's it... with either of those three I can rule the world... well if the SHTF and I'm the last to run out of ammo. With the rope and either of those tools I can make any melee weapon out there. And with just a handsaw/axe I can begin the process of building just about any kind of melee weapon. Hell with either or I don't even need a pocket knife...

BTW you wanna live in the lap of luxury and build your own kingdom if/when the SHTF... steam engine! That's right, it can power a generator non stop, they're easy to build and the world anit never gonna run out of wood and water. The only bad news is the belts that would be required... But if you can find something to kill and salt their skin... you have unlimited belts.... Seriously... steam engine for when you run out of gasoline will be the only true miracle that allows mankind to maintain some semblance of normalcy if things ever turn ugly.

And work together for the common good... duh


Well, obviously if we were able to do that, we wouldn't be here discussing what to do when TSHTF!

It's a sad state we are in, no?

I can tell that you have never lived in rural Louisiana!

I'm a girl, and I can guaran-dang-tee you that I have used all of the weapons that I have listed, many times. When you grow up out in the country on a working farm, you learn to do ALL kinds of thing! It's great!

Please elaborate, I'm I missing something. Or is it just an American thing?
To my knowledge the excreta has been hitting the fan since the dawn of man. in one way or another.
