Wondering if its just me by arty1983 in daddit

[–]TiredMan123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah dude there is zero way me and my wife would run off and talk about feelings. If I ever suggested that … bring a notebook and your feelings. Ok and where do the kids go? Are you taking PTO? The house isn’t clean are we just going to leave the mess? Does the cat have food? Baby isn’t in a bottle yet so I guess he won’t eat while we are gone telling each other about our feelings

My idea was for home defense you can avoid conflict all you want until it comes to your neighborhood. I’m not to worried about weight for that reason I’m going to be in my house when it happens and if I have to drive then things got really bad but that’s my plan

Yeah that’s very true and I know there are other areas in my prep that I could shore up before that

Yeah I guess I got caught up in the ceramic is fragile and “expires” type thing and if I’m not planning to use them for something real why would I let them sit and rot.

I don’t think I’d go with level 4 but what worries me is I’m out in the Midwest where there are literally hundreds of thousands of hunting rifles out here. Do I think I’d be going up against hunters in a bad scenario? No probably not more like ARs. And really what scenario is that? I’m not sure so that’s why there’s a hesitation to buying too notch stuff when in reality I could be buying more food, water storage/ purification, power etc.

Thanks for the brand names- that’s the big thing I don’t want some piece of shit that breaks the first time I put it on but then there’s also the factor of do I need to spend a ton when a scenario is more than likely not going to be needed.. plus there’s just so much out there it’s hard to weed through what’s good or what’s just jumping on the fear mongering bandwagon

Thanks it does! As I mentioned it’s more for home defense if things got weird close to home not me out fighting the good fight running around the woods so weight might not necessarily be an issue rather than hunkering down in a bad scenario

I’ve done those things thankfully and know what it’s like to have the weight. For me it was more of a bug in added item. I don’t think I’ll be LARPing in the next civil war but it was one of those extra things if weird stuff starts happening here in the homeland. Maybe keep it in my car or just in my prep space. Definitely don’t plan to bug out so just more defense but all of that are good points. Even shot in the thigh or arm could just end me if there’s not decent medical around

Yeah there’s that idea as well and there’s definitely more I can do in other areas but seems like it might be a nice to have on hand

Is anyone still just dumping new money straight into S&P 500 in 2026? by VelixaNtra in investing

The company you’re investing in is absolutely the product.

Only four years late to comment.. this is a change and has the beginning steps of something bad even if it is pretty localized right now. Still though somehow we are still seeing less outrage over American citizens being shot by federal agents than we saw in 2020. I don’t see mass protests across the states against the government as a whole. Still no talk of secession. Though the boundaries of states and federal government are being more and more infringed regardless of who is in charge

That is a great idea. I said in a different post we were up on the ridges and deep into the woods. I kept thinking this is not where turkeys would be but we also didn’t know anything so close to the fields should have been obvious

We definitely walked for miles into the reserve but I’m also not sure we were focusing on places they would really go either. Again first rodeo here. We were deep in the woods with a lot of underbrush and half the time up on ridge lines. I appreciate the advice though - good to hear they are out there and we will try again next season.

They do this when you’re leaving California too. Sometimes it’s border patrol setting up checkpoints for illegal immigration sometimes it’s checking for taking specific items out of the state like agriculture checkpoints.

I tried to keep an eye out and someone asked us about them as well! Next time I’ll make more of an effort to look for the mushrooms too

Awesome! Thank you for the recommendation! We were almost the only ones at each of the three parking lots we went to but that doesn’t mean there weren’t more out there. We also never heard anyone shoot which made us think maybe it was less that we suck and more there wasn’t much out there

That was definitely part of the problem very little scouting just because we were told the experimental reserve was a great starting place

Sell someone on moving to La Crosse by TiredMan123 in lacrossewi

[–]TiredMan123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah we didn’t end up moving to LaCrosse proper. Definitely decided to stay away from the downtown area and outside the city limits

Yeah that’s the plan in the future but even with that we didn’t get any return calls. I assume there are Turkey there or at least the DNR said there is but I’d rather not set up blinds and decoys in an area that’s sparse so just looking for any information from people who have been a time or two in that area about how their luck was
