Do you think a high powered air rifle has a place in a shtf scenario as a quiet way to take small game or would it just be a waste of space?

Let's play a game. I've set up a stock investment simulator game for anyone here who would like to compete to see who can make the most money investing in the next 6 months. Winner gets bragging rights as the Survivalist Forum's Wisest Investor. Every player starts with $100,000 pretend cash...

I was reading an article, and couldn't help but laugh at the title. "Gun lobby tries to annex Ukraine." Which got me thinking, If pro gun people are trying to annex Ukraine by saying if "the protesters could protect themselves, things would be a lot different," then what has the Anti-gun lobby/...

So the alpha for the new Arma game is out. If you're like me and love military stuff but cant join because of tattoos, laziness and a bad attitude you've probably been playing it. Or you might have been playing just because you like the Arma games. Regardless, anybody got any thoughts on what...

My personal choice for an ideal SHTF weapon and tool is this: It's substantially capable of damage, even to large dangerous game. It's also fairly balanced. The blade runs all the way through the handle (few blades do this nowadays). Heavy cutting, chopping and batoning through wood (using...

Any recomendations for books to have for TEOTWAWKI? Ideally, stuff that would cover everything from medicine, farming, processing game, etc., that can be used to teach and would be light enough to include in a BOB.

hey evryone, I am looking for a .22 pistol or revolver for small game hunting while backpacking. my main concern is accuracy. So today at the local gun store I was looking at Browning Buckmarks, Ruger mk IIIs and a single lonely Smith and Wesson 22a. I asked the salesman which was the most...

Does any one still play tribes? or remember playing tribes back in the day. The game was apparently abandon, so a online community picked up the game and are keeping some servers running. If anyone is interested in playing check it out. Make sure after you download the full game to also...

I guess this counts as disaster-preparedness general discussion? Anyways this game is coming out soon and it looks incredible. The story is written by the same guy who did "Red Dawn" and should interest a lot of people on here! Check these out: (backstory) (first trailer) (walkthrough...

Greetings, I hope I am posting this in the correct forum section as I am looking for advice regarding a SHTF scenario. First some background. I am a lead game designer in a team of game developers in Europe that are working on a game that will feature a very strong survivalist element, we aim...

Found this Discovery Channel survival quiz. Not as easy as it seems: http://dsc.discovery.com/survival/games/games.html

Here’s a piece that cooks, fine diners, and hunters can find common ground on. The writer is Australian so there are a few references (like hunting and eating Cockatoos) that seem a little strange: Men who kill RICHARD CORNISH July 27, 2010 ON TOP of an old volcano, out west near...

How many of you have run into a snake or two while hiking or camping in the wilderness? It never fails that when I’m on or off the trail I usually run into one. I have me a corn snake I ate in the picture attached but I was curious as to how many others eat the snakes they find. Even if I am...

While doing the end of year cleaning I found these two plastic collapsible containers. Each closes with zippers. The plastic appears to be pretty thick. The containers are not water or air tight. The container on the right has two side pockets with zippers. The container on the left is about 2...

Okay, im kind of new at preserving small game pelts and i pretty much have the basic understanding of what you have to do. My dad neighbor and friends have told me that all you do is when you skin the squirrel make sure most of the fat is off and sprinkle a good layer of salt over it, then let...

Ever since .22s were manufactured decades ago, they have became a popular caliber, and good investment. Uses ranging from small game hunting, plinking, and varmint killing, have landed this caliber much respect. I personally love my Winchester Wildcat .22LR, and it has been a very reliable rifle...

I'm in the market for a nice little .22 and i don't have enough for a ruger 10/22. I want to know how accurate reliable and how overall fun these guns are to shoot. Also for the Marlin 60 i would like to know how many rounds it holds. The Marlin is a little more expensive but i'm willing to...
