Springfield M14 with the Cherry wood stock. Its by far the nicest gun i have. plus the attached scope mount and scope

My advice to you is to stick close to your family always. They seem to really love you and thats where you belong.

And i will need you to have them sign and return my adoption papers.....

Damn. The one thing i was forgetting for the zombie apocalypse.....clean up gear.

Nobody wants the stench of zombie juice left over in the carpet.

HEY, every survival pad needs clean carpets. Don’t want to live in a post SHTF world with dirty carpets now do we. lol

you guys,

I bought myself a welder for Christmas. This weekend a friend and myself have plans to build our first Wood Gas Generator a.k.a. Biomass Generator. Wish us luck.

Here is an example of one if you don't know.

Thats sweet! not trying to make a joke but be careful and try not to blow yourself up. Those gas-a-firers can get unstable if you dont do it right.

all in all its a great idea to get off the grid!

I appreciate your concern and will try and be careful. That's why you always do these type of projects with at least one crazy friend. He is the one you hand the lighter to.

A coffee maker.

oh right i did not even think of that i could trade spirts for weapons or food

Crank flashlight, does not need batteries. I gave it to myself and 5 others. The only thing I got from anybody was a candy cane.

Flannel Pajamas. They're warm and will last for several years. Also as they get older you can make quilts or blankets from them. I also got a big bag of tea light candles which I asked for. They're convenient to use and small enough to be easy to carry.

I bought it for myself. Emergency Essentials... I've tried it out twice already. Pretty nifty.

Erm........Jealous much of that M14.

I bought myself a 40l dry bag by Eurohike, Gorilla Duct Tape, Gorilla Glue, Gorilla Super Glue and a Leatherman Wave I picked up brand new for £35(with a free LED torch...bonus!).
(my family did a secret satan so thats why I bought myself so much)

I recieved a Eurohike Down 500 4 Season Mummy Bag with a -21 Extreme rating from the old mother, A Cougar extendable and magnetic LED torch for my secret satan, a DD 3.5x4.5 metre Tarpaulin/Basha from the old man and finally some Jif Extra Crunchy Peanut butter and Chilli jam from my sister......yum.

none of those weapons will do you any good.

PResident Obama sold China the military's LRAD sound weapon.

They now can subdue you long before they are in range of your rifle. Firearms are now obsolete self defense weapons.


President Clinton put sanctions on China for selling military arms to Iran. America couldn't sell military arms to China after those sanctions. PResident Obama had the State Department declare the LRAD weapon "not a weapon" so it could be exported to China.

Riiiight.....think the Federal Government will let you buy the LRAD sound weapon then?....not a chance.

Can't say I received much in terms of survival gear but I did get a few items. A dozen carbon fibre arrow shafts, a Gerber fixed blade 4" hunting knife, and a dozen broadhead arrow heads. Not much but it's a huge help in case something comes along lol
