i've always been a "survivalist" of sorts - by that i mean being prepared for whatever is thrown at me. no, i don't have a bunker or an uber-tactical bugout out vehicle, etc.
example: since we're on a well, i store some water. been without power before - those kind of things.
i am a gun nut but didn't really look at my guns as as survival tools outside of hunting, etc.
i have tried to standardize calibers somewhat - they've begun to figure out that controlling the ammo controls the guns. having very little of several different calibers just did not sem to be wise. i didn't thin out the inventory - just focused on stockpiling calibers i feel would be helpful in the event of "trouble". i don't think i'll need 1000 rounds to see me thru an event like hurricane katrina. i know men who didn't fire 1000 rounds in WW2. it depends on the scenario. but, the extra ammo insures i can practice, train my family and still be able to defend home if needed.
recently added an L1A1 frankenfal to the armory. already have a hunting rifle in .308 and its very accurate with ball ammo.
