The excrement just hit the fan, you have 5 minutes to grab your things and gtfo

Sorry if I find that claim a little incredulous. You just happen to be carrying a hammer with you and took a doe? I mean, I can see how, but the fact you had the tool....

I had my tool bag in my truck and had the doe land on the hood just around the corner from my mothers house while I was rolling up to make a turn. As a joke I went after it with the hammer but got serious when I realized that I would actually be able to get it. One hard hit and it did not even twitch after it fell. I even had my hunting license with me and tagged it within 10 minutes of killing it.

I was there, it was a long shot. The throw distance was about 70 yards and pow nailed right in the back of the head.

I do not use the type of spear that is thrown for hunting hogs. I have also killed hogs with a B.A.K.

Holy shit SVO... There's no words for how awesome you are! I think you should run for president!

Wait, what?

It can be done effectively. I just wouldn't store any weapons or ammo of significant value. Brass NATO spec ammo in new cans and make sure the seals are treated. Choose a weapon with good corrosion resistance like a glock or ar15, drench it in oil or dip it in cosmoline (seal gas tube on a gas gun), store in a high quality dessecant bag (multiple if you can), and the finally in a high quality aluminum or plastic air tight container. Be certain the housing is made of pure polyethylene or polypropylene plastic. Epoxy it closed, and then seal it in a 6 mil polyethylene bag, and bury 3 feet or deeper to avoid temperature changes. Don't forget where you buried your shit, and don't use landscape or trees as identifiers, take measurements from large rocks, or other relatively permanent markers, three of them at minimum. Also, don't bury near a tree, roots can wreck your plans.

I was wondering if they were worth a damn or just another thing to get people to buy.

Wait, what?

Which part?

[svauto-erotic855]

Fuck a compass. I use my sense of smell and make it to wherever I'm going every time! I can't even spell saxtent!

I need to take you out in the woods in middle PA at night when it is 15 below 0 and let you give that a shot; I can promise you that you will value a map and compass after that.

Then use a spear or a bow. I killed a
doe in Granbury with a blue point ball peen hammer in the fall of 99 while my sister and her friend (they were both 13 at the time) screamed at me. By the time we made it home they thought it was funny.

FYI: I kill hogs with a spear and they could not be killed any faster except with Thors hammer.

Wait, what?

GPS is for pussys dude. I am old school and use a compass & map and am pretty good with land navigation. I even know how to use a sextant. I don't have a smart phone either.

The problem with .22 is it isn't sealed, if it gets humid or wet for a prolonged time it's useless.

How about sealing it some way? Its so damn small that you might just be able seal it up some other way. Maybe get one of those hand pump low pressure containers, and seal it up that way. And just take out what you need a little at a time, in a SHTF scenario. That would keep the humidity and water out.

I wouldn't bury .22, just saying you can't have enough around. Mine stays in the safe with a dehumidifier running.

.22lr is so useful I don't think you can have enough. Plus in a shtf scenario, whether you bug in or bug out, food will need to be hunted eventually and with maybe no refrigeration, rabbits make way more sense than a deer to take.

someone tag that

[LANTIRN]

Might actually have its uses as a distraction



Maybe 10k of 22 as well. Somebody mentioned hunting food, you can kill a lot of rabbits and squirrels and birds with 22.
