  1. I really haven't seen the gun industry jacking up prices over this at all. At least not the places I frequently visit locally and online.

    You just can't find anything out there. Nearly all ammo, mags and rifles are gone. If you were to just now become a shooter you would think this type of atmosphere for these products was normal, the sad part is that it truly is normal now. It's something to get used to.

  2. Went out and shot my m4 at my sisters today...very nice!

    You picked up a DDM4V1?

    I ordered an extra one of these and am waiting for it to come in to get rid of it.

    I have a DD barrel on my build and it really likes .223 Hornady Tap LE 75gr. Sub MOA groups out of my DD barrel with it.

  3. I don't own a shotgun, but if I did own one for home defense it would be for the safety of nothing leaving my house and hitting a civilian outside of my home if I did have to fire upon an intruder. A handgun round will make it through your walls and keep going if you miss your intruder.

  4. Going to get me a cz75 for xmas finally

    Nice pistol. I love my BD.

    Where are you ordering from? If you haven't ordered yet and are thinking about doing any modifications look at CZcustom. If you order from there and have any work done to it before you get it you'll save some money on shipping. Short Reset Trigger system is something to look into.

    Also, look into the meprolight night sights. They cost a few dollars less and supposedly last longer than Triji. The only negative is they don't offer any color combos if that's something you'd want.

    Mec Gar mags are definitely a quality mag and can normally be found cheaper than CZ mags too for when you do purchase more.

  5. Do you want something with variable?

    I have no experience with what's mentioned above or what you're looking at.

    Maybe take a look at the Leupold Mark 4 CQ/T.

    I'm using a Burris MTac 1-4 on my AR now and want to get the Burris XTR. I'm more than happy with my MTac and the glass clarity but the XTR offers a better reticle IMO and is a more sturdy built optic.

    Also, I think the Aimpoint PRO would be worth looking at as well. I've heard nothing but great reviews about them and they can be had for 400.

  6. Sportsmans guide is an awesome site that normally has the best deals on ammo online. I'm a part of the members club. They ship super fast and have great pricing. I always check there first to order anything.

  7. Will have a .22 pistol and ammo, but will also have the AR. Yeah dried foods seems to be the way to go for reducing weight, and jerky is always good. Real good idea about the water too, and I would like a GI style canteen as well.

    Look at the Nalgene bottles. They have a canteen shape bottle. I know they sell them at Target and they have combo deals online that include free shipping.

    I've been looking into the Katadyn pocket filter to go with it but need to do more research on the filtering system.

  8. bob's bar in clintonville. Right near the intersection of morse and high. Hands down the best.

    Definitely a good place. It's small but the place focuses on having good beer on tap.

    Elevator is good too but they only serve their brew.

    An Alice pack is an inexpensive route to go for anyone looking at bags. I started with one I got on Ebay for 30 dollars that had upgraded straps which came in woodland. They're a little longer and thicker than the regular ones. (Shown on the left)

    I ended up ordering another frame with the Hellcat mods which are molle compatible straps and molle waist strap. This set up is much more comfortable IMO and offers you to fit your gear to your pack to tailor your needs or set up.

    It's an affordable pack set up.

  10. I have an Alice Pack with the hellcat mods (upgraded belt and straps). 32 oz Nalgene bottle in a carrier. I plan on purchasing a Katadyn Pocket filter next week but need to do some more reading and research on water filtration devices.

    I have a SOG tactical tomahawk for my tool.

    3 days of water and food. Plenty of paracord, fresh socks and underwear. 1 set of regular clothes and 2 sets of camo.

    An aeropress coffee maker.

    Dryer flint (Makes for easy fire starting.)

    Lighters

    batteries

    matches

    Basic first aide kit with a few rolls of gauze

    Tobacco and pipe

    A few other things.

    You need to make sure that you have good clothing and good footwear. Socks and undies are probably one of your most important items.

    I still have some items that I need to add but feel I have a lot of my basics covered.
