I ordered a 250th Anniversary ASHBM ' i just HAD to buy one !

Must be nice to be rich.

Anybody who can afford Benchmade knives must be even richer.

My last Benchmade cost me $30.00.

That's because you are a Pirate Skunk.

No, I’m a THRIFTY Skunk.

I picked up a 55 gallon food safe water drum and ordered a rotary pump and a roller cage. The city's water supply has been spotty at best. We have had 3 interruptions in service since Tuesday. I think we got caught up in the cyber attack on water systems.

I'm just going to set it in my garage and fill it as a precaution.

Times are definately getting interesting.

Wise move M/B. I really believe in having preps / supplies on hand in case surprise events should occur.

I agree. Things are being tested at best by those who would change our system. At worst, implementation is about to start.

Remember the Scout motto ; "be prepared".

At our age and physicality, along with a lack of real world “combat” experience, I’ve been concentrating more on the “reactive” side of the house. I’ve not ignored the “food and water” aspects, as we have “a bit” put back.

But I’m concentrating more on the ability to deny the “purge supporters” as much as possible. Face facts, how much can a 72 year old man and 70 year old woman in Failing health actually do to stop an “invasion” of our home. Not really that much in the overall scheme of things. BUT for every one we can stop means one less others have to contend with. Just my personal take on things if it all goes south.

Plan to stay below the radar but have the ability to deliver a scorched earth response as much as possible, so you can maintain what you’ve got as long as possible.

Good plan. and remember that a shotgun can take out several at once, buying time for the AR or whatever.
