When SHTF, what will be your rifle of choice?

[SpeedRacer]

I'll be the guy on the side of the road trading lemonade, Twinkies and oxygen tanks for sweet gear and guns.

And I will be the guy hoping you put a little extra sugar in the lemonade before giving you bullets and paracord!

I'll be your competition on the other side of the road trading straight black coffee to men with penises...for sweet gear and guns.

I don't know how many customers you will have unless people start taking penises as trophies.

So what all do you keep in your pack? And why are you skeptical of a pistol? I like how you are only talking about 3.5 miles a day. That is very realistic. A lot of people talk about how they are going to do ten plus miles a day with their gear and whatsoever. I just don't see that happening.

I have alot of little things: pretty solid first aid kit, fixed blade knife, folding knife, 5 days emergency rations, 3 mres, emergency blankets, tarp, hatchet, mulitool, sewing kit, altoids tin fishing kit, foldable elchepo saw, canteen, playing cards, 3 sources of fire, compass, T.P., toothbrush, unscented antiperspirant, mosquito spray, water purification tabs, flashlight, survival book, advil, tea candles, flask of whiskey, fresh socks, para cord, snare wire and a few other odds and ends. I have a coleman dual fuel camp stove ive been toying putting in it but its heavy.... Im still adding to the bag over time.

Im not sure of the pistol because I have a few to choose from, Ideally id like to carry the Beretta 9mm but that means ill have to carry a differnt ammo and the gun is on the heavy side, the .22 would fit the bill but its not the best for self defense and only has 6 shots. Sooo Im still thinking on that one.

Anyone who thinks they will walk more than 7 miles a day through the woods carrying 30+ pounds on there back while toting rifle in long pants in the louisiana 90 degree heat has never tried....there is people that CAN do it and more, but the average guy who sits at a computer for a living isnt gonna make 5 or more miles a day.

 

[mcinfantry]

my crew and I will all have AK-47's and belt fed saw's with 200 round drums. if the United States Marine Corps Force Recon can carry them in combat, then thats 'good enough for me' and i could always make a decent living assembling them post-apocalypse.

 

[Gator 45/70]

Wow, I carried a chain saw and cut sapling's and brush yesterday in the wood's for only 2 hr.'s.

I guess I'll have to stand on the side of the road like the rest of em' and sell lemonade and suck d#*k ?

Just remember to bring knee pads in your bug out bag. For the time being, you should just have your login changed to Gaytor 45/70.

 

[Dishonored]

Hopefully I can get on board a survival bus I hear about from time to time.

I'll vouch for you, but only if the women are good looking.

Only the finest. Upscale. What? You think I get em from the days inn or dry cleaners? Haha

I just know prairieville is pretty close to BR and BR is where STDs come from

Guess it might be a good idea to look at getting some penicillin preps going.

Haha. Would you rather the finest of the "big easy"?

I know a doctor that can hook up the penicillin but that don't cure all of it lmao.

Hell no, that's why I brought mine from Florida, you've gotta import quality.

 

[dbradgriffith]

Might have to update my original post here. Found a marlin 336 30-30 in need of some serious TLC, but mechanically sound for $130. So give me a couple months to break it down, refinish (wood and metal), and replace the sights. And I think that will become my new SHTF gun. I actually might paint that on the stock.

A lever action...?

 

[dbradgriffith]

A lever action...?

Yes sir, if the S has HTF I would imagine that means that whatever bullets I have will be just about all I'm gonna have. Marlin 336 was my first hunting rifle. Accurate and reliable, plus I am generally comfortable with it. So I think a lever action will suit me just fine. If I'm wrong guess I won't be around for all the lemonade and d**k sucking. Can't say I'd be really upset about that.

Hey, some of those zombie chicks are pretty smokin' hot on AMC's The Walking Dead. You just need to make sure they don't try to give you a hickey while you're taking care of business...
