So my plan is to bug in, I've heard loads of people say they are going to go live innawoods but do any of you really honestly believe you could survive with just your Bob indefinitely?

>>32963195
Bugging out is basically a meme. Unless your bugging out to a location already prepped, or say a natural disaster is inbound and you 'bug out' to a family member in another state or whatever.

Anyone who plans on bugging out with a bag for a prolonged situation will be dun goofed.

With that being said, I think it makes total sense to have a bag you COULD bug out with. On the off chance you have to leave your property or travel to a neighbors or family members house, I think it would be benefical to have it with you. For example my family members live in towns 30Min away, if I had to drive to them during a 'grid down' situation, I could just put my 'BOB' in my vehicle and that way god forbid something happened, id have it.

But honestly, like most SHTF its a meme. So me personally I have a bag that I keep all my camping/hiking stuff in, and thats my 'bob'. I just use it camping all the time.

I have family that have shit tons of food, water, and ammo stockpiled. They also got a small garden and greenhouse, and live decently out of town, so if anything happens relatively soon, I'll make my way back home. If something happens while I'm in Vegas, then I don't know what the fuck I'm gonna do.

Red Wings are baller as fuck. Maybe grab some 6" boots like Blacksmiths if the full size are too heavy?

I use Palladium full leather in the winter for around the city. Wouldn't take them innawoods tho.

Do LL Bean boots actually hold up or what? My friends wear them all the time and I can't tell if they're just /fa/ggots or if the things are worth the $130.

This, 6" Redwings are pretty fuckin comfy

>good resources
Not sure what consitiutes "good" sources online desu. Most of what you find online has already been traveled, sometimes heavily.
For example, many states have facebook groups for abandoned structures in their areas. A lot of people into urbex go there. But you can sometimes find places on youtube when you type in your state and or city with the word abandoned.

The best places will be found like this anon says >>32947995 and talking to people or doing research at your local library.

More places can be found at abnf.co and uer.ca but you don't always get great locations there.

Cut down the barrel and stock to get a nice HD gun.

Depends, are they newer or in good condition. Sell them if they are ageing and will loose much value, unless they are totally reliable and sentimental.
In the case of keeping them, put the car up on jack stands, change the oil and get a good cover for the car. You need to seal it pretty well otherwise U will have shit living inside your car eating all your wires, filters and shitting up everything. If you have family to take care of the car, keep a battery tender on it and whatnot go for it. make sure to add "Stabil" or a fuel stabilizer to the gas and run it so it gets into the system, or you will probably not be able to start it 9-12 months later.
There are TONS of details that go into keeping a car in storage, I'd personally fucking sell. But on car A the one with a loan, probably keep it.

Do you have any trusted and I do mean trusted friends or family that are close to you?

Every time I deployed I left my truck with my grandmother. All she did with it was start it up once a month and move it to the other side of the driveway.

If you really don't want both cars, I'd recommend selling one, making a fuck huge payment on the other and find a storage space or someone who is trustworthy to look over it.

hunting isnt /k/ related
>>>/out/

or even /pol/

>>32985062
the answer to your question is it'll work fine for anything from deer up to moose.

Try to avoid using surplus FMJ due to overpenetration and smaller wound channel.

It sits right between what historically have been the most popular hunting cartridges in North America 308 and 30.06

It's only a "would you" if I haven't already done it.

>>32983868
Didn't we do this last week?

Obligatory "Only if he's not white/European".

when pike and shot became standard

>>32983838
why not pike and crossbow?

>>32983824

depends on the crossbow I guess. Draw weight? Loading Mechanism? Range?

if an average conscript can't load and fire it as effectively as a musket then the musket wins.

other than that, probably in the 1850s/60s with the widespread use of "rifled muskets" (quotes because muskets are by design smoothbores and rifled muskets are just muzzle loading rifles)

rifled muskets pushed accurate fire out to ~200-300 yards
