I’ve been paying attention to many prepper groups on social media. It’s interesting how many of these groups have rules against politics, religion, and discussions of certain topics such cannibalism, prostitution, theft, and numerous others.

Although I have not been watching the NFL this year – my team is the New England Patriots. They will win the Super Bowl come February.

Jobless claims are at a 45 year low. This is great news for the economy and the American people.

Does it take money to be a prepper and prepare? Yes. The most important fundamental steps can be done fairly quickly and inexpensively. The three often mentioned “beans, bullets, and band-aids” can involve a little extra food & water, a pistol, and first aid kit. Expansion from there just continues the level of readiness.
Talking with a friend who is not a prepper they mentioned that there was a murder in their remote town not far from them. This is a very rare event that had many people scared. I mentioned that is the reason why I train and prepare. It’s not paranoia – it’s awareness.

Seems the 10mm is making a comeback. I’ve seen several pistols recently introduced in this expensive caliber. Remington has a longslide version of their 1911. Never had a 10mm but would like to get one someday.

Next month taking a jaunt several hours from here and will put together a kit to take with me. No issues with CWP reciprocity. Actually might do some shooting while I am away. Going to be gone for about 3 days. Good time to build a new pack and then leave intact for future trips.
I’ve always emphasized a lightweight GHB. Speed in transportation is the reason if on foot. On foot? That would suck.

I have a Glock 20 and an old Colt Delta Elite in 10mm. Maybe just me (comfortable with recoil), but don’t find either one more brutal than a .40 or .45. LOVE the caliber – only wish there was an available carbine…
Nice weapons. Which do you prefer – the G20 or the Delta?
The Delta is absolutely sweet. The Glock is good, as Glocks are – with the advantage of capacity. As a hunting back-up, Glock. For pure enjoyment, Colt. Couldn’t part with either.
Thanks David.
10-4. Welcome.
Funny you mentioned that about the groups today as the last one that I follow is a local state prepper site and there was a conversation going on that got out of hand and it just ruins it. I followed your site for a long while and whenever I would share something, someone would make it their mission to pick it apart and destroy it. So guess what, I don’t follow anything except family and your web site here, I just don’t need it my life anymore. The end result is the same for everyone, but I feel that social media was just made to divide people.
I see it all the time Hank. Appreciate your hanging out here.
Got here late for the party…heh.
I would agree with that Hank. We get a litte “fluffed” or hair raised sometimes, also, just my opinion, but the common ground here is civiliatily and restraint. Bascically, acting like mature adults and/or spurring one another to act respectfully to one another.
There are many different views and beliefts on this website. I’m commited to yous guys and Rourke on here. When he left his other site and created this one. Poof, I left the other and only stayed here. I’m to tired to deal with egos and with guys or gals trying to prove their manhood/womanhood.
My self-identity is not based on trying to convince people of anything. You know?
Oh,..oh..check this out. To funny. Got their tentacles into everything…lol
