Apropos Of Nothing In Particular...

If you think we'd be providing TPTB with an actual picture of our actual holdings
online, in front of God and Everybody, we have a bridge for sale cheap. Bring cash.











This weekend is herewith declared Gun Collection Cleaning Weekend.

Every last one, butts to barrels, including function testing. Normally, we just play with one or two a week, and call it even.

Without getting into details, we could outfit a couple of squads, including LBE, long since.

Our ultimate goal is a full platoon, small arms, sidearms, edged weapons and implements, basic load, and all LBE and field gear. (On the theory that If You Build It, They Will Come.) Even in Califrutopia, it ain't that hard a metric to meet a little bit at a time over the years.

It will be followed by Ammo Inventory Day.

Then Gear Loadout check.

Then we will be inventorying and cataloguing water, food, and medical supplies; then doing Generator, Solar panel, and battery Test Day, Comm Shack, Lights, and NVD Inventory, Kitchen Inventory Day, and finally House and Perimeter Check Day. 

FTR, we've already gotten all vehicles pretty well sorted out, and their basic loads await only a trunk re-pack, and a camper resort day.

Our Area Study was done years ago, and we only update it quarterly. And we know a small but formidable number of like-minded individuals.

Rancho Apocalypto? Maybe in retirement.

More likely, in the short-term: Regional warlord underground. Which is far likelier to be needful anytime in the next decade.

For now, we'll be off to the store presently to get another jug of CLP, and more rags and patches to replace the ones we expect to use up. Posting will be commensurately light this week.

You should probably be about something similar, don't you think?

  1. Being retired, all you mentioned is just routine around here.
    But thanks

  2. Inventory twice a year, guns quarterly for most, some more often. Inventory means tossing out things that ate (truly) outdated as well and replacing them. It gets expensive sometimes.

    Loadout is always ready, checked yearly. I've even practiced the logistics of loading the entire Bug-Out load onto the Truck and trailer (takes about 2 hours done right). Change the fuel twice a year.

    If you don't do what you are discussing, then yer just a warehouse for someone else.

  3. I don't own an AR15. Had enough fun with it and it's cousin the M16 on Uncle Sam's dime.

    Current weapon of choice is a Ruger Mini-30...because feral hogs, and because .223 is a bit light for feral hogs.

    But I do have a TEOTWAWKI gun. It's usually referred to as "The Right Arm of The Free World".

    It doesn't just kill goblins; with the proper bullets it kills vehicle engines.

  4. We kill a ton of feral hogs with our trusty old Ruger 10/22's every year.
    Shot placement drops em in their tracks with a few tremors but zero squeals. Hunting at night with night optics and suppressors. .22 LR is not our "Go To" home protection yet is highly useful/deadly and super affordable. Jed.
