Or have one that isn't painfully obvious. In case I have to leave my house, the Z is probably staying in the garage. Easier to blend in with the common everyday Honda or Ford.....


Besides, the Z can't handle all the ammo..... :wtf2:

Just offering an alternative. I can see where the metal cans could be the best choice for some people.

But I'm just preparing for the aftermath of a relatively short-term disaster. I'm assuming that said disaster will only last 2-3 weeks (maybe months) before some semblance of normalcy returns.
I'm too old and my health is too bad for me to worry about a real SHTF situation. :)

+1. A can opener is a must-have. I keep at least three hand-crank can openers on hand. I can find them at garage sales for 10-50 cents.

I used to have several P38s but I've somehow managed to misplace them. Need to get some more.

Yeah, I have a bunch at home. Just not on my keychain..lol

While searching for some other stuff, I ran across this prepping site. Haven't made it past the page posted below but what I'm reading makes a lot of sense for those who, like me, aren't preparing for SHTF. We just want to be ready for "normal" emergencies that will only last a few weeks.

Get some books on first aid, prepping, survival, and food. The Boy Scout Hand book and Field Books are really good. You want books, not on-line reading. Because when the power goes out. You'll have something to read, and you can write notes in the books too.

Lots of good, common sense type of stuff with links to more detailed information. Thanks SouthArk. :tup:

Don't rely on Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. Because when the power and internet goes out. How are you going to get it?

Being a trained first responder, and hazmat tech. If there is a spill or a release of anything toxic. Remember to go uphill, up steam, and up wind. Some stuff will have a 10ft safety radius. Others will have a 5 mile safety radius.

Cash is king... but if SReallyHTF, cash is worthless... gold and silver.

I still have both and I have an old Air Force Survival manual that my uncle gave to me. Only challenge is that it's a heavy sumbitch.... :icon14:

menhhh.......i take lead any day. I cast my own bullets. :tup:

..............wait.

the coronavirus is like the flu. why are we prepping like it's the end of the world?

:facepalm:

The service training books are a good read too. :tup:

I get one magazine. That is OffGrid. Lots of good articles in it. :tup:

:iagree:

Excellent choice. After a certain year, they dropped a lot of the info. :( IIRC, it was some time in the late-80s maybe early-90s, possibly with the 10th edition, but wouldn't swear to that.
