You would be correct that knife resides in my bug out kit….I already have well used skinning knifes used in trapping….thought about a large Kukuri…..never know when you might need to take the top of a zombie skull off 🤔. Have a butchering “ax” ….never need an excuse to get a nice knife

Bug out kit knifes

My personal favorite is a buck 119……looking to add a larger quality knife

What would you do? Your well armed neighbor doesn’t need anything when he can take yours…big city folks will be desperate plastic money is worthless if you can’t access it…can’t google what that mushroom or plant is..pretty quick you find out dandelion and Rollie pollies and a stray cricket isn’t enough to offset the calories you expend vs what your body needs…soon too weak your a casualty….worse you let your family become casualties…..if you kill a deer the most nutritious part is in bone marrow…familiar critters will get gone fas as the trout at roaring river during the shut down….

We dodged a bullet with the Ebola outbreak of a few years ago

The Carrington event

You might remember this guy

Unsure where to post this but most here have skill sets beyond what the general public has…hunting, fishing and gathering wild foods and medicinal plants…but do you have everything you need when the 💩hits the fan.? from hard core preppers to just an emergency bug out bag…thought I’d start a conversation on tips and ideas this is a trailer for a show I think was on the history of discovery channel several years ago that gave rise to the modern prepper movement…the recent pandemic shutdowns gave many a taste of their own personal vulnerabilities here is the trailer

Catching them is rare….think about tournaments that allow trailering those are rife with cheating

This stuff goes on all the time….if $ involved cheating is too…..sad but true….kids learned it from someone

Here is someone winning a contender boat…..lots of money payed out https://fb.watch/elG6T_7Y07/?fs=e&s=cl

As a kid this was pard of our lives…moved to Missouri when I was driving age….dad always sent me letters and clippings from the paper during the rodeos…all pre internet days

This was taken by a person near eagle rock…….😬😬😬

Before I jumped to what this seems to be,…..I did a little research…….found this is….interesting “In the background section of his press release detailing the bill, Clyde indicates that “Currently, an excise tax is applied at the manufacturer level for every firearm and all ammunition sold in the United States that is purchased by anyone other than the Department of Defense and state/local law enforcement. This tax infringes on Americans' ability to exercise their Second Amendment rights and creates a dangerous opportunity for the government to weaponize taxation to price this unalienable right out of reach for most Americans—a threat that is materializing by the day. Recently, Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA) introduced the Assault Weapons Excise Act, which would impose a 1,000% tax on semi-automatic weapons.” this is a move to stop a US style 1996 National Firearms Agreement in Australia the NFA Ban on importation, ownership, sale, resale, transfer, possession, manufacture, or use of all self-loading center rifles, all self-loading and pump action shotguns, and all self-loading rimfire rifles (some exemptions allowable to primary producers and clay target shooters) Compensatory buyback scheme through which firearm owners would be paid the market value for prohibited firearms handed in during a 12-month amnesty Registration of all firearms as part of integrated shooter licensing scheme Shooter licensing based on requirement to prove “genuine reason” for owning a firearm, including occupational use, demonstrated membership of an authorized target shooting club, or hunting (with proof of permission from a rural landowner) Licensing scheme based on five categories of firearms, minimum age of 18 years, and criteria for a “fit and proper person” New license applicant required to undertake accredited training course in firearm safety As well as license to own a firearm, separate permit required for each purchase of a firearm subject to a 28-day waiting period Uniform and strict firearm storage requirements Firearms sales to be conducted only through licensed firearm dealers and all records of sale to be provided to the police Sale of ammunition only for firearms for which purchaser is licensed and limitations on quantities purchased within time period. “we Reducing overall firearm ownership was not an explicit goal of the NFA, but that result appears to have followed. According to the International Crime Victim Survey (van Dijk, van Kesteren, and Smit, 2007, p. 279), the household firearm ownership rate around the time of the legislation (1995–1998) was 15.3 percent, which decreased to 8.7 percent in 1999–2003 and 6.2 percent in 2004–2005. The decrease in handgun ownership specifically over this period was more dramatic. The rate was 8.1 percent in 1995–1998 but then fell to 1.1 percent in 1999–2003 and 0.3 percent in 2004–2005. Alpers and Picard (2020) provide additional data compiled from multiple sources and show that the percentage of Australian residents who were licensed firearm owners decreased from 6.52 percent in 1997 to 3.55 percent in 2016 and that the percentage of registered firearms per population decreased from 17.59 percent in 1996 to 12.57 percent in 2016. The number of registered firearms decreased from 3.2 million in 1996 to 2.2 million in 2001 before rising again in 2017 when it was estimated to again be 3.2 million.” its not the mean old Republicans just want a free hand to combat greens in the name of corporate abusers ( sometimes that seems to happen) but progressives have long sought to duplicate Australian success in getting guns out of the public hands….PR has been great for outdoorsmen, but if you haven’t noticed the weaponization of all things federal….they seem to think people in fly overstates can be fed disinformation as fact…and it seems PR might be a casualty…..don’t have an answer it’s lose lose….

I have been under care since April 2years ago….( Covid-19’s complications) the lack of sufficient medical staff complicates my situation not to go into detail but it’s been a nightmare….the things I have seen through all this

Not after carp in this case…just want to relive my youth

My health is bad

Flint creek has monster bluegills, warmouth and crappies…think they have cabins but the campground is wonderful, spent many a day fishing and camping there
