Re: Homemade Thermoelectric Plate ~(o)~

Re: Spring V CO2 Air Pistol

I agree with most of you, PCP and CO2 will struggle post SHTF, upkeep, seals and gas will be major problems. I have a .177 Weinrauch Hw97K that is almost bulletproof as my choice. I do have PCP and CO2 guns as well, but the 97K has never let me down.

Re: Realistic BOV choices

My thinking is a BOV is just that, bug out. Once in position you are only going to use it if you become compromised or as a standby generator for charging kit. I like the idea of a trailer as some of the guys on YouTube have, just so it can be kept loaded with some kit. My Range Rover is in use as m...

Re: Realistic BOV choices

I have just picked up a cheap P38a Range Rover, needs work but will run on Veg oil, plus is big enough to sleep in. Just got to fit it out on the cheap now.

Re: Medical scenario 1

Many thanks for the correction, I thought it was a bit excessive. It just goes to show we live and learn.

Re: USMC Kabar Knife

I got given an M9 bayonet a couple of years ago, excellent bit of kit, even down to the bayonet/scabbard wire cutting combo, much better than the UK SA80 version. I can't find a molle sheath for it though, so may have to manufacture something.

I was at the shot show in Vegas a couple of years ago, that was huge. When the Yanks do a show, they DO a show.
