Glad to hear this - it was 9:00pm, after a full day of work, and I just couldn't make myself get up, get in the car, and drive 1/2 an hour to the meeting - then get back at 11:30. Maybe I'll be more motivated next time - I start to shut down once it gets dark out! :n00b:
The $500 / $1200 thing came from one of the 3 solicitations they sent me last week! If I get that many pleas for money from them with an annual membership, I shudder to think what it will be like with a life membership! It is however for a good cause. I wish they would let you opt out of all...
FYI - I've been an NRA annual member for years. A recent letter from the NRA says the price of their life membership is set to increase after Mar 31, 2010 from $500 now to $1200 thereafter. I've been thinking about taking the plunge for a couple of years, and this was enough to get me off the...
There's something I'm confused about - I swear I remember the guy walking around and shooting the video as having more gray hair than the fella in Fenway's sig pic. Could it have been his Dad? :naughty:
Enjoyed meeting several of you and putting names with faces. I'm now scouting the Internets with my wish list of AR goodies in hand. This event is going to end up costing me some serious $!
All due respect here, but do you really think your EX WIFE is going to let you take off WALKING with her (and your) 4 year old on a 15 mile "hike" in a serious SHTF situation? I mean seriously, no one knows for sure what's really going on, or how dangerous the situation really is (lack of...
I'm with you 100% on this. I'm a little late to the thread, but I've never put any faith in gold. It's only worth as much as someone wants to pay for it. If everyone's hungry and scared, they will have their minds on other things like food and protection. Simple as that.
I'm currently building a small 500 amp hour inverter setup for backup during power outages. I plan on running an 1800W inverter/charger for low load conditions like a fan at night, reading lights, and maybe the laptop. When we hunker down, we don't need much in the evening - running our 5kW...
A couple thoughts on OO buck.
OO is .33 cal. In the 12 gauge shell, due to case geometry, you can only fit 9 pellets of OO in. I would recommend you consider #1 buck. At .30 cal. you really aren't giving up much in size, however you gain majorly in payload - you can fit in 15 pellets. The...
Definitely enjoy my time on whenshtf! Inevitably I will see a post that gets me to thinking of something else I need to do with my preps. I'm looking forward to talking to like-minded individuals a little closer to home!
Looking forward to attending! My AR15 is a heavy barrel target model - not interested in carrying that thing all day, so I'll probably just be looking at everyone else's toys.
Hilarious! Love that British humor! Noticed that since their Nanny State has confiscated all of their guns, they're reduced to fighting their zombies with sticks and such. I kept thinking "just shoot 'em"!
Longbow - Tried to PM ya, but it won't let me until I have 10 posts! Never heard of that one before! Seems to work against those of us who prefer to listen more than we talk! Anyway, I'll try to get my post count up and then contact you.
Another comment on diesels - I have a Cummins 12 valve Dodge. No electronic ignition, mechanical fuel pump, so this is good. However, the fuel shutoff solenoid is located underneath and to the rear of the injector pump - turns fuel on and off to the pump when you turn the ignition on/off. If...
New to the site, but I've been lurking for a couple weeks. I believe I'd be in area 3, Bloomington. Tyler and Longbow, we're probably pretty close to each other! Have I missed anything big, MSG-wise?
