If you were limited to one item to bug out with for cutting wood or other heavy work what would you chose? Saw,axe,hatchet or hawk,large knife or machete? Since no one item is perfect,what would you choose?
I have at least one of each.But my opinion of what to take changes every so often. At this point my bob includes small skinning knife cold steel (Pendelton skinner) large knife Randall RTAK II more like Huge! Cold steel shovel which has been sharpened on edges. Leatherman multi on hip.Still haven't made up my mind on saws? I have one bow one buck saw. Perhaps I will take just a blade and improvise saw frame on site?
Since shovel doubles as small axe, I am not packing that weight! Although I still haven't totally ruled one out. The Estwing solid steel handled one looks good. Don't know about you but I have been know to break a handle every now and then!
I have two machetes I like as well! But you can't take it all with ya. Compromises compromises.
What are your thoughts Saw,Ax,Big knife,machete,trapper belt ax or hawk?
Be Prepared!

Buy food Buy ammo!
Folks I know we are all saying it,but get your food and security supplies squared away! I am wondering now if the U.N. is not the PTB's plan to do what they want done? If you have access to Dec 2010 American Rifleman pg 12 please read it and pass the info,most knew this was the plan,but its looking like this spring we find out if Soros and crew are ready to take on America?
If they don't collapse the dollar first!

Priotizing ,or Too many guns?
I like many have way more guns than other preps.And I am not done... I have had an AR on my mind for a while now. Since many know this is not my favorite Why? well I have a good supply of.223 several guns to shoot em.If I purchase a reasonable priced AR in .223 , And an upper in 7.62 x 39 that would be a very effective CQB arm up to med long range. Also on want list is .300 win mag bolt action seen a savage bolt recently for $ 4oo . Also I sold my favorite pistol of all time some years back Ruger single six so ya know I gotta have one of those.
Now for reality,I way more arms than food and equipment. In fact I have enough to arm my family and a friend or two. Not really the best arm for every situation but armed none the less.
Now since I need much more food and supplies common sense would dictate where to spend money!
Decisions Decisions.
Since I have never had good impulse control I think I will compromise. One gun then more supplies.
I hope no collapse until after holidays. No gun until X-mas is squared away for grand kids. I hate holidays always have. But I do like seeing the little ones lite up when Santa comes.
Be Prepared !

Live like the SHTF everyday!
On any given day the Sh** could hit the fan. On any given day someone you love could die! We all worry and stress over things that in the end probably really don't matter much. If you have people that matter and you care about, Tell em while you can! A little kindness can go a long way! If you knew for sure tomorrow was your or someone you care about's last day you would probably act much different. Why wait till its too late?

Main Stream media vs Celente, HPH,NIA.
Listening to main stream media we added a few jobs so they are all getting off talking the recovery is under way,stock market goes up on the (good) news!
Personally I am not seeing it!
On the other hand you have Gerald Celente predicting bad things, Cliff at half past human predicting bad things,NIA national inflation assoc is predicting bad things!
I usually like to look at the angles. What is there angle? MSM rarely reports the truth,it is in there interest to keep us spending and consuming.
Celente reports trends, do they have to be bad trends? No.
NIA citizens who do the math.Their math doesn't match Obama's math. Angle um lets see we don't watch their free videos.
Cliff High from Half past Human if you don't know about Cliff and the bots do a check! Cliff runs a program that determines the future from linguistics. Fairly accurate only the timing is sometimes hard to get right!
All three are predicting bad things! I mean scary bad.No food,no money,No Obammy help bad for the unprepared.
Do I know whats coming? Nope wish I did! But I am preparing best I can with what I can! I hope you are too!
Be Prepared!
