I know we mostly like to post memes and news articles lately, but with the confluence of things happening lately, I thought it a proper time to remind y'all to stock up on any essential goods, like food, water, water treatment, medication/medicine, batteries, candles, ammo, pet food, etc.


The economic collapse is looming, and we have conflicts escalating in the UK and the Middle East. I'm not sure if the UK stuff with peter out or spread (it certainly has the potential to, given what the West is facing), but the Iran/Lebanon vs Israel war will most likely spread, and make getting supplies harder. Also, the 2024 "election" will introduce its own problems. We all know from the Covid shenanigans how getting supplies can become nearly impossible for long stretches at a time (LOL toilet paper).


So, stock up, tribe, train, and God bless!

I'm still undecided on weapon mounted lights. What're your arguments for them? Do you think night time fighting would be common enough within illumination range of your weapon light? Or am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

I have lights on all my guns except my lightweight concealed (but I'm going to put a light and red dot on that too, since I carry it the most). I live in the country with coyotes, bears, mountain lions, etc. My dogs will go nuts periodically when a predator is around the livestock, and it's real nice to just grab my AR and have a light ready to go. Streamlight with a pressure switch for my support hand, then I'm able to locate, identify and neutralize in one fell swoop without having to look for a flashlight or have my support hand full with a flashlight. For the two-legged predators, most of my lights have a strobe function as well, which is incredibly disorienting. If someone means harm, they're not going to be able to get an accurate shot off with that shining in their face.


Either way, even handheld, a light is going to illuminate their intentions. You shine a light on somebody lurking around, there's no harm done to them, but then they have a choice to either show they're not a threat or they're going to attack you, and then you've got the jump on them. If I've got the light on my gun, they're gonna have a bad day. I'd suggest you check out Active Self Protection on YouTube as well. Those guys are legit and have some good advice.

Fair enough. I mostly prefer headlamps. It allows me to shine lights on things without flagging them with my weapon. It also frees my hands, being able to illuminate things without having to hold something, which is really handy in the bush at night.
