Quote HistoryQuoted: You need a rad source to test them. If the detector is bad, they may be worthless. I have a couple bad ones on my workbench right now. well lets presume they work, would it be something you guys think I should keep? |

Are you near a nuclear reactor, or a military base? definitely having a detector is good, for knowing when it's time to come out of the shelter. Do you have a fallout shelter?
If you've never been in MOPP gear, you're in for a treat. They work like a thermos. Keeps hot stuff hot, and cool stuff cool. You might probably still need rubber gloves, cotton inserts, and rubber booties. They will keep you safe from nerve agent for a period of time. They're only good for 30 days, and you cannot get them wet. Other than that, they're probably worthless. |

Tough to estimate best options for you.
What volume of stuff are you talking about? A few boxes or a few garages full? Are you into being prepared? Yes, Do you have the space to add to your preps? No, do you want to do a ton of learning and stock stuff you may or may not use? Bill I might add the best option is to do a quick SleazyBay search on whatever you do not want to keep and post it for less than current auctions are so it moves fast. Bottom line is you can post pics here and we'll help whenever we can. |

Yes of course I am into being prepared. :)
I'm talking garage full of stuff to go through and more to come. So the chemical suits and such, just try and sell them maybe? I never figured there would be a real use, I think my dad feared some chemical attack of some sort. But sometimes there are uses I may not have thought of. How about HAM radios? He even has the tower you would install an antenna on. Gas masks? I have at least 10 that are Russian i think, 4 from Israel in cardboard boxes (new in box) and he has what I think are canned gas masks as well. These:  and these: link |

Ham towers are tough to get rid of. Is it standing or in pieces on the ground? Set up with antennas on it, you can offer it for free on Arfcom Ham Radio Forum if they take it down.
Laying on the ground in pieces you can offer it for sale on Arfcom Ham Radio Forum, craigslist or SleazyBay. (Local pick up). All my Rohn 25 tower sections were free for the taking! Ham radios, amplifiers and test equipment usually sell easily. All the extraneous wires, connectors, accessories and all that other junk that Hams tend to collect are not so easy to get rid of. If you find a local ham club that holds ham fests you can rent a table and accept offers on anything you have. |

I figure i need to do something with it or it will get stolen. |

All the gas masks, unless very new, are probably outdated, and most likely unsafe for use in hazardous environments. Russki masks are a joke, and the USGI mask in the pic has an uncommon 60mm filter which some claim to be intrinsically hazardous. There are 60mm to 40mm gas mask filter adaptors, for use with a new filter, but not at all sure I'd trust the mask, even if canned for decades. Definitely would not trust the filter.

Well Ive not found a whole lot more. Ive been trying to go through ammo and reloading supplies.
Ive got a TON of powder, primers but no projectiles. So my sister and I have been trying to figure out what to do, sell the supplies or get projectiles? He did have a lead melting pot NIB, ton of lead and some bullet molds so I might grab a 223/556/9mm bullet mold and get his single stage presses and try and figure it all out. I guess im going to need to buy a 30-06 because there is so much of it I dont know what to do with it all.  I was looking at the browning x bolt, I want something with a magazine (could maybe 3d print more down the road) |

Ok going through more rounds.
He has 30-06 in individual containers (baggies, boxes, etc) each labelled with all the reloading details. What's the best way to attempt to store all of it? Think bags of 8 rounds, 10, 30 stuffed everywhere. One big ammo can I guess? |

You might could test the survey meters with a Coleman lantern mantle. The original mantles were an “alpha” particle emitter that would register on a meter. Can’t speak for the new/modern ones. The mantle packaging had/has a cautionary statement that says NOT to “ignite (or use) in a enclosed area”. Originally this was to avoid an uptake of the smoke containing the alpha particle. IMO this was only a significant “issue” during the initial mantle lighting, not during subsequent lightings.
ETA: I do believe what I said above does not apply for your meter. Your survey meter measures expose rates in Rems, not counts per minute of activity which is what I was referring too. It is highly unlikely you will see any measurable rate of exposure from a lantern mantle. Also, be advised that the Rem unit of exposure is “old school”. The modern measure of exposure is now in Sieverts. Good news is that Rem can easily be converted to Sievert. Having said all that BS, it’s all relevant. If when you turn the meter ON you see a deflection of the needle on the lowest range..... it’s working at some level. |

If you do not have a 30-06, you may consider selling them as a lot. You may have a hard time finding someone willing to try an unknown reload. Not saying they are bad reloads, just saying a lot of people are extremely cautious with shooting reloads. Then again, with the current ammo situation there may be tons of people to buy anything they can get their hands on, so now may be the best time to sell reloads! Bill |

Bill Ive filled up a few ammo cans so far, the problem is should I keep them in some sort of organized formation? example: Ziplock bag #1 8 total reloads with the powder #, grain, bullet type, case etc written on a sheet of paper. Zipock bag #2 15 total reloads with same meticulous writting. Ziplock bag #2 only 2 reloads, all same info. repeat all that 30x It is very strange because I never once saw him EVER shoot the one 30-06 he had. |
