How do you acquire ammo?

As of right now I purchase my ammo, I've got a couple buddies into reloading something I'd like to start doing eventually but I've got my plate full for now.

Sadly we are not on our own land. We own a mobile home that is on someone else's lot- there are 6 of us who own and just rent the lot. And we don't have a great deal of space. We've considered the best way to do garden boxes and the only good place sun-wise is right where we have to drive and park. We are surrounded by pine trees and scrub oaks that completely shade anywhere else we could do it and we can't cut them down because it's not our property. I tried container veggies a couple of years ago and something just didn't turn out right because nothing happened of consequence. I wanted to try again last year but had major surgery in February that took me out of the game past the time to get things going. Maybe this year.


We do have a rain barrel that we've used mainly to water flowers, plants and the birdbath. It came in handy last weekend when we lost power due to snow and ice and I went outside and filled a bucket with water to flush the toilet because yellow is mellow but brown goes down. I do want to get a couple more barrels for sure.


My husband has the same mindset as you but only acquired it in the last year or so. He kicks himself in the butt mentally for not thinking about it before but he was a bachelor until we married and 40 so things like this just didn't ever occur to him. When we married I introduced him to a completely different way of seeing things and it still took him 3 years to figure it out. Lol. And yes- it all happens in steps. I don't know how old you are but it's good to know you are aware of this fact. Many are not and try to do everything at once.

Yea not owning land makes it hard. When we rented I used 5 gallon buckets to grow potoatoes, tomatoes and some berry bushes but land makes it all more permenant.


I'm 30 so I still have youth on my side kinda i could be in better shape.

Ha! Better work on that getting in better shape now. I swear when you hit 40 it all seems to hit the fan. Either that or I was just incredibly lucky to never have any chronic physical issues until I hit 40.

I reload but most of the time I end up just buying factory ammo.

Oh...well then never mind.

Okay, so how about this... Let's say a doomsday scenario does occur. What would you do? I'm sure many factors will determine the answer. Say if you had 10,000 acres in Montana an arsenal to your disposal, and mountains of stored food and such I imagine you stay put and hold your ground. But, for the rest of us less fortunate ones... I imagine most on here would either live in a neighborhood, apartment/condo, or something similar in close vicinity to many other people. I think Americus said she had family in CO with a cattle ranch. Do you head there? Can you even make it there? What would you do? (Everyone)


I'm not sure what I'd do. I'm not exactly prepared for it. I guess I'd take whatever supplies I can and head into the woods. At what point, if any do you start committing serious crimes to keep a ahead of others to make sure your family is safe? Would you trust anyone at all?

I recommend reading Lucifer's Hammer for what I believe to be pretty accurate insight into how society would react to an impending end-of-world scenario.

Well acreage or not, property lines aren't going to matter much. Hell, they don't matter much to most people now.


Even so, since I'm rural and live along a river I guess I'd stay put.

It just goes without saying.

What about adult magazines?  You know, in case there aren't any women survivors

I like that idea, better pack a couple of mirrors too.  Don't want to miss any of the action.

It's a nice thought if the only women left were from a miss universe pageant. My luck the only women left would be Rosie O'Donnel and Caitlyn Jenner.

I looked up that book. Sounds really good. I'll have to read that when I have time. Thanks.

I agree with you as far as the property lines goes. But if one had enough land I'm thinking you could always fight off intruders assuming you'd have less in the vicinity. Unlike in a suburban area it would be a madhouse.
