Carry/Preparedness = More or Less Freedom?

[cigars]

Sexual altoid boxes are necessary, no matter the situation.

Oh, so that's where we're supposed to put the blue pills....

 

[L84Cabo]

That's stuff people would have a high likelihood of using. I'm talking stuff like rifles, plate carriers, multiple magazines, sexual altoid boxes, etc.

I'm probably going to regret this. But what the hell. What the heck is a "sexual altoid box?"

Only on very rare occasions will I throw a rifle in the truck. Too many issues with theft for keeping one in there full time. If any of you carry a rifle in your rig full-time, how do you secure it?

Bazooka.
Don't leave home without it.

Worst bubblegum ever.

Since you asked....

Pocket survival kit: urban vs wilderness....which is more practical?

We've all seen the pocket survival kits using an Altoid tin that usually includes a lighter, button compass, fishing line, hooks and weights, fire starter tinder, etc. I wonder HOW practical that is as an every day carry. I have carried one for a while...but I'm thinking of going a different...

Ah...got it! I think I like "Boner Tin" better.

Not to mention, if the zombies really do come, you're not going to be needing condoms. I mean if you're still alive, it's going to fall to you to repopulate the planet...once you kill the zombies of course.

Probably the odd man out here but what the hell, seems like I have been like that all my life so why change now?
I almost always have a long gun with me. Don't worry about it at work. Rest of the time all my vehicles are "plain Jane. Nothing attractive looking for the crack heads. Not to mention we pretty much long ago stopped going to malls and such. While I am sure I will never need it, does make me "feel better" knowing its there. One night I got distracted leaving for work and remembered after I left that I forgot it. Did think about it a couple times that shift. This is the big reason I still like the one rifle that folds in half. Cheap, works, easy to stash. If I ever manage to wear it out I will buy another.
For decades I used to keep a short shoty for this. Had over the many years come up with some rather inventive ways to store one this way. The folder is of course FAR easier.

I was wondering if the original thread would pop up.
I use one of those tins for speed strips. Not anti diarrhea pills and condoms, which is a weird combo to begin with.

I tried to chill out on my last couple trips.

Went on a cruise to Alaska, packed a couple flashlights and a knife or 2 (okay more like 4).

Flew to Maui and took more or less the same in checked bags. Spent most of the trip in trunks and flip flops so I carried folder in waistband.

Oh , and a monkey fist -both trips.

There's some good juice squeezins in a monkey fist.

Yeahbutt ya gotta keep 'em shaved..... floss in the squeezin's is a real mood killer.

In regards to owning items....

It is wise to make sure what you own....doesn't own you.

More to the point of the OP....

Carry / bring / prepare what you like.
I would also suggest that one is flexible with their loadout..
As in packing what is most likely to be helpful in your everyday circumstances , as well as for a "realistic SHTF scenario " ....and not packing for anything and everything.

So what you're saying is you don't need to carry enough kit to kill two of everything in case another biblical flood should happen hit?

Oh my word! How did I miss that thread??? It is NWF gold!

 

[The Heretic]

Been carrying a GHB/etc. for years in my vehicles.

Only time I feel "burdened" by it is when I have to load other bulky items into the vehicle and there isn't enough room due to the prep supplies. Most of the time that isn't an issue, and the few times it is then I will usually know ahead of time and unload the GHB/et. al. for that trip.

More often than me, the "kids" have used items from their GHB/etc. in their vehicles. Problem is, they have sometimes neglected to replace those items.

My grandpa carried a rebuild the world kit in the trunk of his LTD.
He was a pilot and owned a filling station/garage in St. Johns.

Hell, you could carry around half the residents of North Portland in the trunk of an LTD!






And not even have to chop them all up to make them fit!

Fit a machine shop in there...

Yep, that's it, same green too.
I remember asking him once, "what was your favorite car you've owned?" and of course he said the LTD. He had it til his eyes gave out. When they came out to the farm we kids would marvel at all the stuff in dat fat as trunk.

Nowadays a 492ci will cost you $4.92 in gasoline just backing out of the driveway, LOL!

LOL, when I was a kid those LTD's and other "boats" were common for kids. Lots of them that were parents or old enough to be bought by one of us. Then the great gas shortage hit. Lot of them sat parked and gathering dust after that as even after the gas came back we could not afford to drive them. New a couple guys with what was in those days big bucks who had something with dual quads (two 4 barrel carbs) and damn they were fast but, soon they too could seldom be driven as it cost too much Those were the days
