Re: Two way radio batterys
If legalities are a worry them remember PMR is restricted to 500 mw (Half a watt). Now if I was not bound by licence I would buy a few UV-5r radios and use them on the PMR section of the 70cms band, 16 channels now Ofcom have allocated another 8 channels. I doubt the radios used on the lower power s...

Re: Advice Needed - Air Rifle
Three air rifles is hillbilly heaven? Here's you some hillbilly heaven. Knob Creek is just down the road from the house. They hold this shoot twice each year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MBf_LvqUsQ Mortblanc, With our gun laws it's a close to hillbilly heaven as we get sadly. I got a Survivali...

Re: Advice Needed - Air Rifle
Preparedsurrey, We started our 6 year old grandson off with target shooting with a £20 unlta-low power toy crossbow so he could learn to aim. 3 years on my son bought a .22 off his hobbyist gunsmith workmate and the guy made the grandson a custom short stock for the rifle. The lad loves it and when ...

Re: Looking for CB Beginner info
Sion, If you want an easy to hide CB for not a fortune then I'd go to Amazon and take a look at the Albrecht AE-6110. Basically it's AM/FM and so very small, it also comes in just under £50. I've seen the test equipment video of this radio and it's very very good. Apparently it has a very clean rece...

Re: Advice Needed - Air Rifle
My son's workmate is a air gun collector who custom makes rifle furniture also. My lad bought another two air rifles off him this very day. His friend brought them to work where my son had his large gun bag with the padlock ready to snap on when my son traveled back on the underground then overgroun...

Re: Looking for CB Beginner info
I'm 54 and back in the day I think we got our inspiration from this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVh179oXFao Only speaking with a American survivalist friend of mine two days ago about this, he reliably tells me they still talk like that on CB in bama. If I were you and I wasn't bothered about t...

Re: Cut test with one of my own forged swords
I was really impressed with the quality and functionality of the sword you forged very cool. I've always been a fan of all kinds of edged weapons and are always in awe of those that create them. Thanks for sharing buddy. Thank you for liking my work, I've quite a few others and the odd Northern Ger...

Re: Cut test with one of my own forged swords
When looking at the number of swords remaining for study are you considering the fact that at the end of ww2 all of the katanas were turned in to allied troops for destruction? The only exceptions were those in museums or shrines. Thousands of katanas were melted down for scrap. Yes, I know many, m...

Re: Cut test with one of my own forged swords
Its nice to see Long Steel on a survivalist/prepper forum that isn't bent in the middle ;) The Japanese make swords to defeat Japanese armour. The Germanic and Norse peoples wore different armour and therefore made different swords (not worse or better, just different) Swords are for speed, Axes fo...
