The old B.S. Handbook was chock full of woodcraft info I havent seen anywhere else- mine disappeared for parts unknown at some point in my life... Tappan was useful in picking a good rifle and stocking up on foods and other supplies we don't usually think about in our day to day lives- like...

The Boy Scout "Handbook For Boys"- early edition, probably later 1940's... I about wore my old copy out growing up. Later the Mel Tappan "Tappan On Survival", along with other of his writings... Tappan had a great effect on my prepping ideas and activities. Another book, a novel, was "Farnham's...

Useful choices in that environment!

Excellent advice^^^^^ Even a .22 rifle with that brick of 500 .22LR cartridges could make a difference. Even a functioning .22 pistol. Some suggest a .22Magnum, but at the cost of the rifle and ammo you would be close to what a 5.56 AR would cost... Anyway even a .22LR could make all the difference.

I've pondered the 10mm- Glock, HiPoint, or XDm... cash outlay for ammo has put that off indefinitely, besides I'm into .40S&W pretty deep.

What's not to like about the XDm 10mm?

Isnt it illegal to shoot at drones, even private ones? Something about FAA rules IIRC?

A bad ass blade, no doubt. Worthy of work in Afrika!

A fun (hopefully) thought-provoking thread- Left in a survival situation of your choice- arctic, swamp, jungle, bush, mtns- and allowed two edged weapons- what would your personal choice be? My own is rather simple- a Nepalese Khukri, 12", and a smaller blade like my Master Hunter or possibly...

I've given this some thought the last few days (too much time on my hands). Considering it's only 1 pistol.. I would carry either an N-frame .357 4" or Redhawk 5.5" stainless .44mag. I own these and it would be a difficult choice leaving the various Glocks behind, but I wouldnt want to mess with...

ABSOLUTELY! Detect, detain, deport!

Long story short, HELL NO! Don't come to my country as a non-citizen and try to tell me what to do. That's just wrong.

I carry a .40 Glock 23 these days. I'm looking for snake🐍shot cartridges for my outdoor adventures.. CCI makes 'em, does anyone else? I'm particularly interested in something that will CYCLE the .40 S&W pistol. Is this possible? Suggestions would be appreciated. I do have .357 and .44mag...

That's my kinda shottie, right there! One can do a heckovalot with that with practice. Will it take spare barrels?

I remember some of those Pilot knives.. Camillus and KaBar IIRC. I was hot to have one back in the day- '71-'72- but went with a KaBar USMC I found in a shop, with a chromed blade of all things. Wish I'da kept it but had to get the Buck 120 General dontcha know... I've never seen another chromed...

I too live in the Colorado Rockies. While I also own and sometimes carry a G19-5 it wouldnt be my first choice as a WOODS gun... I'd carry a 10mm G20 but since finding one for sale has here-to-fore eluded me, my carry in the hills here-abouts usually is a .357 S&W 28 4". Works with 110-160gr and...

Yep. Aesthetics matter...

Turkish firearms are fine and Turk military products are getting better all the time. NATO membership and quailty demands are as responsible as much as anything else.

What, no pistol?

It's a case of "DunRanull's Law"- 'If one is good, THREE is mo bettah'..... hardly a 'waste'....
