Any fellow survivalists utilize their truck?

True, but you'd think that a company like Husky, who've built a reputation for making high-quality, rugged, durable products would have gone with a rigid plastic divider instead of something as brittle or flexible (depending on configuration) as foam.



But, we'd also think that a company like Toyota would have figured out frames that don't rust, too, so...

 

Did you end up getting these?

 

It is illegal to build a hidden compartment in a vehicle in Ohio. The law states that if the compartment is used for trafficking controlled substances it is illegal. But if no such substances are present then it is a judgment call. Also if they find it, you didn't do a very good job Just be careful with what your building and how it can be viewed. (Paranoid lawmakers)

 

Technically he's not building it; just buying it!

 

No I haven't. Not really high on the priority list

 

Fair enough, probably after the holidays, right?
I was just curious to see how you liked them.

 

Eh, not sure. Got a tonneau cover and my tailgate locks with the key fob so anything I put under the cover will be locked and anything I'm that worried about being stolen will stay in the cab under the rear seat. Only reason I was even going to get the under-seat box was to keep things like jumper cables or gloves from getting the carpet dirty. So with them in the bed I don't have to worry about that now.

 

i have a gun safe for sale

 

Thats the dumbest law ever. I think trafficking in control substances is illegal with or without the hidden box. Apparently Ohio is a state run by cretins.

 

Lots of states have similar laws. The 80's were a very tough time for personal freedoms.

After getting laughed at for 8 years by some of my friends, I wonder if they'll see some wisdom in prepping now.

 

My wife did not like guns. But education and current events has changed her mind she now has her own gun and loves it. Next step... CCW (hopefully)

 

My girlfriends the same but carries pepper spray, not quite as effective but as long as she keeps it accessible I've kinda settled with that if it's what she's more comfortable using. Doesn't hate guns just isn't familiar enough (yet)

 

Over the years, I have taught or assisted with the teaching of many women to shoot. Most really wanted to learn. Some were hesitant - at first.

Almost all of the hesitant ones, by the end of the day, did not want to put the guns down and go home!

I suggest looking into an NRA Women on Target class for the ladies unfamiliar with firearms. These day long classes are a great environment for women to learn - no male "overlookers" (no husbands or boyfriends allowed)

 

I've already "Bugged Out" to where I live now. 3 miles from the nearest pavement, back in the hills in Kentucky...

 

Got a warm and fuzzy feeling when I slipped a pair of these into each vehicles tool bag. Completely took free replacement valve stems.

 

Looks like I'm talking to myself but tonight I found the latest tool that will go into my truck. Being an avid bowhunter I carry my compound bow with me regularly and I get target practice in as much as possible with it. The problem with that is that the bow takes up heaps of space and the protective case takes up even more. Meet my new bow.

The Bear "Takedown" Kodiak traditional bow is a completely tool free take down bow that can be fitted with multiple length limbs and assembles by hand. I played with one tonight while at a local archery shop and fell in love with it. It feels really solid in my hand and aiming it feels very natural. Going to get some cash together and order it next month.

 

Have you ever checked out a Slingbow? I've heard of people taking down big game with slingbows.

 

Still are tough times for 2A freedoms in the Socialist Republic of Maryland. I've got about 8 more years here before I can fold up my tent and move. Partly due to the high cost of living but mostly because of b.s. gun laws that deprive law abiding citizens the right to exercise fully their constitutional rights. The 2A is the only amendment in the Constitution that you need a license to exercise. Sorry, rant over...
