Are you going to stop and tell them you have it?

  That's what all of those FEMA caskets are for.

I already did.  Whatever microchip tracking device the Government is putting into us, is already deep inside my arm by this point.

  Cool.   I guess my second impression when looking at your load list was "Where are you getting home from with all of that?".  I stumbled across a reasonably good blog a while back, written by a former Marine, that has an article you might find helpful while sorting out your kit:  How To Survive It

Stick a lens-looking thing on one of these and strap it to the same place. Problem solved. ;)

Not the place for WTB ads.  Please upgrade to a Benefactor subscription and post this in the Trading Post.

  AK?

  They've always been pretty pragmatic.  Function over form.

Being in Franklin, you guys are almost guaranteed to run into Voldemort.  I wonder how he'll choose to be arrested.

I don't see a handgun and spare ammo in there.

  Indeed, I count myself fortunate.  This particular friend is a leatherneck too, so our conversations tend to be absolutely politically incorrect and some of the best.  :D

  Same here.

  Well he's out in California now.  Not sure if he started in Texas or maybe you're thinking about someone else.   I saw a post on their Facebook page earlier stating that they might have a line on a new shop facility to use.  I hope he can get back up and running soon for his own sanity's sake.  I'm sure it would be a bit of a welcomed distraction to start doing leatherwork again.

  I think you can option them with something other than the Dana 44 front and rear, but the 44 is actually a very strong axle.

What's up with all of the propaganda, Comrade?

  What the Titans need is a winning coaching staff.  They don't have it.

That would be an AEV Brute conversion.  They're hella nice but also about $60-75K depending on how the owner optioned it.

Let me preface this with the statement that when the SHTF and society collapses, alcohol as a beverage is very likely to once again become a form of currency just as it was in the old days.  Anyone who does even a casual bit of reading about the history of distilling spirits will quickly note how many ministers distilled bourbon and whiskey back in those times.  It was to keep their families financially solvent; no man needs that much whiskey for himself.  :)   So, framed in those terms, I'd absolutely become a student of how to distill my own alcohol for drinking and medicinal purposes also as a survival tool.  Learning doesn't have to mean doing either, and learning is still legal.   But back to your stated purposes... that's pretty cool.  :)

  If you could be encouraged to put an order in before they get up and running, I am certain every dollar will help them tremendously right now.  I am tempted to order another holster myself just because.

  Let us know when things aren't working!  :)

  I see you're still being monitored the old fashioned way.  The Jade Helm exercise was supposed to distribute nano-technology to all TGO members via jet airplane contrails, but some folks (like yourself) may have adequately tinfoiled their homes, keeping the nano-bots out.   You're going to just have to let Jared do his job.  Just don't let him near kids.  ;)

I know there are several other folks here who also use TT Gunleather holsters.  They have been a staple of mine for about 12 years now, and whenever I buy a handgun that I know I might carry, an order would go in to Tim Thurner for a new piece of leather to go on my hip.   I have an order pending with them right now that should be about to ship so I checked their web site to see what orders were completed and going out now, and learned that just this past week they lost everything to a wildfire that swept through the valley where their home and shop was.  The pictures of the devastation were horrible, as Tim and his family escaped with the clothes on their back and the family pets that they were able to quickly herd into the car.   They've posted that they will rebuild and be back in business, but for now they are having to pick up the pieces and try to reassemble their lives.   Terrible stuff.     http://www.ttgunleather.com/   https://www.facebook.com/TTGunLeather-192428270824098/timeline/      

  That doesn't seem easier than asking for help.  :)

A friend gave me one of those molds for Christmas last year and I'm sad to say I haven't used it yet. :( I do have this one that I do use though... http://amzn.to/1G8VEJG

  Lineage.  ;)
