That fifth one is always a good idea.

If you only have one thing to read, read something that will teach you new ideas every time.

indeed. it is one of the few heavy items I will carry despite SAWC.

AK over a muzzleloader tbh

Muzzleloaders are heavy, innacurite, powder gets wet and ruined, also large and inconvient

I don't see a point for a muzzleloader

Get a gun that has small ammo, so that you can carry more.

Hey, we started somewhere and that was Muzzleloaders

and we changed for a reason <:KEK:726877368601411624>

@CyberSpacePirate and @HUNTER4639 I chose a large caliber muzzle loader because it would be fine for any game available and I can also shoot shot for rabbits and birds. They are relatively light and reliable and I wouldnt need a rifle and shotgun.

Your going into the mountains to be a mountain man, not to hunt commies.

shotgun would be better....

And 2 guns to run around with is heavier by a factor of x2

ok so ditch the muzzleloader and go for a shotgun <:TrumpSmile:720121948088041513>

Just let me live out my Jeremiah Johnson fantasy will you?

Ya i would prob hunt both

Still AK more powerfull than high-cal muzzleloader

Energy its less but you do have follow up shots.

I aslo wouldn’t use 7.62x39 on elk

I would. You just gotta get close. 7.62 is pretty similar to 30-30 ballistically speaking, and people commonly use that for everything but grizzlies.

where I think 7.62 doesn't fit well in the mountain-man lifestyle is that if you can only have one gun, your limited to killing medium/big game.

AK also allows for follow up shots

Plus more ammo carrying ability

The Bible, at least 20 needles, a few gallons of Insulin, a shovel, flint and steel an axe, 1 or 2 Puuko(Finnish knife), knife sharpener, fishing rod, and Ima go to somewhere cold, live next to a lake.

Id definitly want my tomohawk and my Ka-Bar

With those anything is possible

True

Tomahawks are awesome

I got some misc stuff at dollar tree yesterday for my bugout bag

Matches, playing cards, lighters, pain killers, candles, and batteries

Do I post knives here? Not for prepping just edc

Yeah that works

some people post their knives in guns as well

My current EDC setup

nicee. that reminds me, I need to buy a new knife next pay check. I lost my griptillian on a run <:KEK:726877368601411624>

got a random question for you guys. Have ya'll given any though to an edc bag for college?

I have my current edc setup for high school running at around 30 pounds between books, our brick of a laptop the school issued us, food, water, booboo kit and meds, alternative cutting devices (just scissors and picks really), and usually a change of clothes. I want to refine my "system" for college though, as well as incorporate some level of ballistic protection.
