WTSHTF News Excerpt:
I’m compiling a list on firearms to get for SHTF situations. I’m going for one pistol, one smg, one rifle, one shotgun and one sniper rifle.
Ok, we’ll bite here:
• Pistol – Glock 23
• Sub-Machine Gun (SMG) – Skip This
• Rifle – LMT MWS
• Shotgun – Mossberg 590
• Sniper Rifle – Savage FCP-K
You have to read this true, real life SHTF experience now. Are you prepared for this?

OK, i wanna share with you my own experience. (be patient with my English, i am from far away )

A well-prepared post from Survivalist Boards on picking a survival rifle by caliber.
WTSHTF News Excerpt:
This is where calibers like the 30-30 and the 308 come in. Ammunition is cheap, neither caliber has excessive recoil and ammunition is readily available.
Keep in mind that the ’06 is the largest caliber that most people can shoot accurately. The recoil is the main reason why I do not suggest the ’06 unless you need that much firepower.
As always, our advice is to focus on .22LR, .40S&W, .308 and 12 Gauge.

TEOTWAWKI News Excerpt:
My EDC torch is a Surefire 6P clone: The body is bored for 18mm cells so I use 18650 Li-Ion cells in it. The LED module is Malkoff M61, 260 lumens for 2 hours. It’s compact and is actually shorter than the Mini Maglite.
