ladywolf 11 Report post Posted April 1, 2013 I recently added instant potatoes and milk to the larder. The potatoes are edible as a plain side dish would be better in something or with gravy as they are rather bland. The milk was bland also, but I added (a little too much) vanilla and 1-2 table spoons of surgar per quart which helped a lot. It also helped that I set it in the fridge for awhile to get cold. I didn't have a probelm drinking it straight, but then again I prefer soymilk to cow's milk in a glass. However, soymilk in my coffee that's just plain wrong. I try to watch the sodium content on the canned stuff I buy, so I hadn't gotten into the Dinty Moore beef stew to a few weeks ago. I was surprized that I liked it. It didn't taste too salty to me even though it boasts a whopping 600 mg per can. I have at times had to live off my larder some of my meals weren't real thrilling, but I was never hungry. The wallyworld near me has a few varities of Mountain house meals they are next of my list to try. As always buy what you eat and eat what you buy. 1 Brantfat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Major Krisis 10 Report post Posted April 2, 2013 I replaced the wood furniture on my AK-47 with more robust and lighter plastic furniture. My AK-47 is my go-to MBR for my bug out kit. Next step, an appropriate sling and flashlight for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Next step, an appropriate sling and flashlight for it. Just curious .... did the lighter weight plastic furniture alter the recoil or handling on the AK? Seems like there might be more felt recoil but I'm also curious about the weapon balance. Thanks. 1 Brantfat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TPSnodgrass 454 Report post Posted April 2, 2013 Before one of my adult children "appropriated" my AK, I had replaced all the furniture with "plastic/polymer" furniture, and did not notice an increase in recoil or a decrease in accuracy. Balance seemed a bit BETTER for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt Rob 10 Report post Posted April 3, 2013 1. Put away another 25 lbs. each of pinto beans and rice - there was a sale at Krogers. 2. Put away 10 cans of mixed fruit. 3. Put away 5 cans of spam – wife won’t touch it now but I’m betting she'll scarf it down if faced with starvation. 4. Put away 5 pounds of dry pasta - another Krogers sale. 5. Continued conversion of one of my horse run-ins to a chicken coop. Plan to move 4 week old chicks from brooder box I built into new coop in a week. 6. Planned out the garden for planting - but still have to wait that final frost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One thing is that not a single part is compatable to the AK rifle, but just looks like one. LOL. P210SIG, we had issued CZ 58's back when I was in army, we haven't do much of training with them, but even with little bit of that, those 58's were solid, simple and dependable with a lot of ammo available. That would be my primary weapon to choose after TEOTWAWKI. Nowadays 58's are being replaced with new type of weapons CZ 805 BREN A1, A2, a lot more modern type of weapons...... http://www.czub.cz/en/catalog/86-law-enforcement-military.aspx Here on you tube there is guy (hickok45) comparing these to together - AK-47 vs CZ SA vz.58 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TexeQ0QPFU If your not " Physically Fit ", then your just Food for the Zombies.LOL.

t2940 13 Report post Posted April 5, 2013 Bought various knifes and devices for popping windows and cutting seat belts. Wanted to test and view several for resale. I like the keychain type because if you ever run into a lake that one would be easiest to reach. As far as knives, there are so many good ones that depend on the application.
