Are you over prepared ?

[Hammer67]

True enough. This video isn't about prepping though. It's about not trying to load out like you're a Navy Seal when you're going to work. Or the mall.

Yeah, I know, but I feel like we already flogged that donkey into the afterlife and was trying to broaden the discussion a bit. And it's also still related - the wannabe operators focus on guns and gear to a ridiculous degree, and kind of miss the forest for the trees in the process.

Fair enough. Underground bunkers, alternative water and power sources, tripwires, kerosene and flamethrowers it is then.

Naw, I wasn't taking it to that extreme. Just common sense ways to be well prepared for feasible scenarios. Spare me the Apockylips.

That's all common sense Hammer. I have a lot of that covered now. Underground bunker in a flood way is throwing me off a bit.

I told my wife I wanted a Kore Battle Belt rig for Christmas. Showed her the pics on the website.

She starts laughing. I’m like WTF ?

She says: “ You want fries and a Big Gulp with that?”

WTF ?

Then she says: “remember you showed me the pic of the Fat Tactical guy with the Mcdonalds Gear. Meal Team something or other”

Ahhh man … thats just mean
She then says: “ you just said you want to lose some weight”
Then says she’s just giving me a hard time. I’m only a few lbs heavy and Order what I want on the belt.



I know better than to tell her to lose weight with me then

Women ….. in fairness, I’m only 20lbs too heavy

You can't be over-prepared for winters in the Northern Rockies.

My wife likes to poke fun too. She stopped when I started pointing out that she has 40 pairs of shoes, 3 iMacs, a MBP and a MBA. She also has 3 college degrees.

Also I bought her a spare house so she can shut it.

My eldest daughter has a new boyfriend who is a prepper and they are driving up today. My sons and I talked about meeting them elsewhere and baggibg him so he can't see the place and asking if he knows the password.

My Army and LE days are behind me. I have a “few things” to protect me and mine and to engage with a few of my neighbors to hold the home front secure.

Burning C4 takeoffs from the mortar pit will warm things up
