NATO is made up of a whole lot of folks in a lot of different countries. Many of those countries manufacture ammunition for their own armies. I am pretty sure Winchester isn’t going to provide it all.

Who else can we use? I didn't think USPS allowed it.
In the past I have shipped long guns to FFL holders out of state using the post office. You have to check the regulations and comply with the requirements wasn’t too difficult. Even when you know the regulation, it doesn’t mean the postal employee or even the supervisor will know it. I have gone to a post office with the regulation in hand and been turned away, only to drive 5 miles to the next post office and ship without a problem.
Used fedex to ship a pistol to a dealer years ago, it was expensive and the manager wasn’t happy about it.I have used UPS for long guns several years ago and it’s was easy,
looks like an individual can ship long guns to an FFL.UPS

Unsurprisingly, my daughter tested positive for COVID at the hospital. She's still in the ER waiting for a room. They put her on oxygen but told her they do not have enough of the machines, (I'm assuming respirators), that she needs, so she's waiting for someone that is on that machine to be moved to life support so she can use it. This is pretty alarming in and of itself, but really not that surprising considering what my wife and I saw in the ICU at St. Thomas of Murfreesboro when I was in there a couple of weeks ago. Both of my grandsons, (the sons of my disabled daughter), have COVID now as well. They are secluded in their room so hopefully they won't give it to my other granddaughter.
Prayers for your daughter, grandchildren, you and your family.

The Chinese ammo never came back.
I am surprised to see that Chinese made shotguns are being imported.

He has heart disease and some other issues that they haven't figured out. He's only 64 though. Young enough to help with drywall. We both hurt the next day.
Erik prayers for your dad’s speedy recovery!

I've had an original LCP for years. I often carry it as a backup for my primary carry. It has more value as a bug than the few dollars it would sell for.
I have given my LCP to my daughter, along with a Taurus pt 22(the older steel version) and ammo for both. My only remaining small gun is a vintage s&w mod 37.
I can’t decide yet whether to get the LCP max or opt for a pocket 9mm and eliminate .380 altogether. Even the LCP .22 might be a possibility.
The current ammo situation isn’t really favoring availability of .380. 9mm seems be more obtainable. -

I've had plant based burgers so good you couldn't tell they were not real meat.
It’s not the taste was bad it wasn’t, but the impossible burger upsets my stomach. I think my gut felt cheated!

The loss in grain production will be offset by the increased pressure from the greenies to reduce the public consumption of grain fed livestock. Better start liking that lab grown meat and veggie burgers.
I can’t stand beyond meat or impossible burgers. I will eat the occasional black bean burger. Chicken is already going up in price and supplies are not as plentiful in the store. Plus the hoarder buying is making it worse.

Was listening to a farm trade group this morning talking about the long term risks they see in a warming climate pushing yields way down. There were people in the group working on heat tolerant varieties - but then they were like, “but we can only do so much and expect yields to be impacted.”
It was also interesting to hear them talk about hot air being able to hold a lot more water - thus producing more events like the one this weekend in Waverly - and how that much rain is basically as bad as no rain in a growing season.
I’m just a data guy, but big agriculture is super interested in all this stuff.
I am not farmer or a numbers guy, but I can see the big picture and this isn’t looking good.

Basically the western drought has hammered grain farmers this year. In addition to the covid issues this does not bode well for grocery prices.

I can't get over the price of .22 LR. At least what I'm finding anyway. $10.00 to $11.00 for 50 rd. box. I didn't buy any.
Yup crazy prices for .22. Glad I bought it a while back when panic buying was cheap.
Wow that Tula went fast! Ain’t none nowhere’s now!

Got the flu shot last August a little too early, going to wait till closer to October this year. We always go to Publix our insurance covers and we like getting those $10 dollar gift cards.
I am due for the updated shingles stuff I think and the updated pneumonia shot.-

Same as
. You will suffer through tedious automated help responses that solve nothing. You can not speak to a human. Took me months to restore my account after I got locked out. Fees are high. I haven’t bought or sold anything since. And fraudulent buyers are or were a big problem.

As for the vaccine I told my wife I was getting it early on. She had reservations but she decided to get it after I did. The military had already given me every vaccine known to man, so what was one more. I always believed in being prepared.
Most of my immediate family have been vaccinated. we take precautions, we still mask indoors in public places and get snickered at for doing it.
The family hold outs are in Alabama and that whole group don’t believe nothing the guvmint says. And they get all their science from FB memes. They had at least 5 cases of covid, two hospitalized. They won’t listen to anything I say. I fear I will lose them, I fear for my grandchildren.

I got out of the Ascentian St. Thomas hospital in Murfreesboro yesterday after nearly dying from a large pulmonary embolism last Thursday. After they removed the clot, I was eventually moved to the ICU until it was safe to be moved to the cardiac floor on Saturday. I had to wait for a bed to come available in the ICU which took a few hours. Once I got up there I was struck by the amount of people hooked up to ventilators looking like dead bodies just waiting to die. It was easy to determine the COVID rooms because they had constructed what amounts to glass/lexan man traps between the hall and the patient doors. The staff were completely robed, gloved, shielded, and wearing what looked like active carbon respirators before entering the rooms. One of them mistakenly entered my room outfitted as such startling the
out of me. My wife, having walked slower past the rooms, got a better look and was shaken by the experience. She said it was like a floor of dead people that were waiting to officially die.
Folks, this
is no joke. It is a VERY lonely and terrible way to die. Please learn from Phil Valentine and get the damned shot. Many of you I consider friends that I haven't met. and I don't want to hear of you dying this way.
Glad you are out the hospital and ok! Thanks for your the update on your experience. Exactly what I thought was happening regarding ICU beds.

I have been thinking about and making kits and bags since I was a kid during the Cuban Missile Crisis. When they placed those hawk missile units just down the street from my house it definitely got me thinking.
I agree with all of the above
. I like to have some redundancy in my kits. More than one way to make fire, purify water etc. Map and compass.
Paper maps and lately I been adding digital as well.
https://www.avenzamaps.com/ this is a link to a nice digital map app that uses gps on your phone or tablet no cell signal required. A ton of free maps available.
Oh, I know electric devices require charging. If you are bugging out with a vehicle that’s covered, if not there are solar chargers. But definitely it’s just another layer, you need to have paper maps as primary.

You are correct, sir. I still have a stash of that delightful Norinco ammo. A dime a pop was all it costed, and it was good stuff.
I only have a little Norinco left, yes it is very good stuff.

Well that sucks! Not that I buy a lot of it anymore. I did buy a few boxes of Tula 9mm recently. I was surprised how much better it was compared to the old days. It was pretty clean burning decent range ammo.
Wasn’t it our old friend Bill Clinton that shut down China ammo and firearms?Those lucky Canadians still get it all!

Curtail conserve save supplies yes. Stop completely no.

They have talked about this theory before, long before the glaciers started turning into ice water.
It seems like it might be closer to reality now.This old earth has been through so many catastrophic changes. Life on earth has been nearly wiped out and started over more than once. We have only been here for the blink of eye. The earth will go through many more remakes, reformations.
Like the title says in the science fiction book by George R Stewart , “Earth Abides” .

That 6 inch model 19 is perfection! Had one when I was a young man. I foolishly traded it toward a Colt 1911 at the time. Sadly I don’t have either one now.
GLWS!
