Oh I would also recommend a bowie knife lol. I've gotten a pretty nice Elk Ridge one from Big 5 for 10 dollars when it was on sale

Normally $30 ?

So that was a steal

I got blades, guns and ammo covered

Oh cool cool

I have a sog tech bowie as a primary knife

I have blades covered but not ammo or guns lol

Oh nice

It's like .240 think

Dannnng 😅

I've beaten that thing through more logs than I care to remember

Lol out of my budget rn

I've got $60 to my name

Yeah they're expensive. A bit too expensive for the alloy of choice

Yeah lol

But fuck, thats a good knife

Yeah I'll bet

You're paying like 120, 130 for what should be a 90 dollar knife but it's solid

😅

Once my family moves to Idaho it will be easier for me to stock up on everything

No background checks for ammo

Guns are faster acquired because of no 10 day waiting period

I've got a 10/22

But that's it

I bought a lot of cool shit before they started instituting a lot more in the way of restrictions over the last 2, 3 years

My rifle, I got very lucky with

What caliber?

7.62x39

Cool cool

Question, has anyone here added a lockpick set to their bugout bag? Nothing fancy, just a few rakes and shims to get past most standard locks.

I haven't

I suppose it all depends on local laws concerning lock picks, here they're only a problem if you get caught in the commission of a crime and have them with you, then they get added on to the charges as being in possession of burglary tools.

i'm trying to check 'dual band handheld radios' off my never ending list of SHTF gear. i'll probably play with them a bit(no transmissions, i know),, then put them up incase of emergencies unless i enjoy it as hobby and decide to get license, etc. i figured baofengs would be fine for me. I've been looking at UV-5's and UV-82's.. I've looked Yaesu's but don't want to spend that much really. could upgrade later if its something i enjoy doing. will probably upgrade antennas and get p-t-t system with port for ear piece and mic. was curious if anyone here knows about this stuff and if they have any recommendations/advice.

decided on BF8HP.

@Scott_Cole yes I have a small lock pick set in my bob.

I practice with it as much as I can. I can do master locks and other pad locks pretty easily. But door locks are a bit harder

@[TDE] Smokie Likewise, I can get a padlock open pretty quick, but I got some practice locks to work on to get better with doors.

Yeah. I need practice locks for doors

I have multiple pad locks

0 door locks. Lol
