As far as range, i can clearly hear the county dispatch from my home. As the crow fly's this is nearly 12 miles away. Theoretically shouldn't i be able to transmit that far as well? When thinking of the whole state, the difference between 5 and 12 miles is trivial but if we could somehow...

These shoot well and can serve as a valuable piece of gear when in in the back country.

Anyone else feel like we (NY gun Forum members) should designate a HAM radio frequency for SHTF scenarios? Something that we could tune into if it all goes down to get some additional information from peers. I am just throwing this out there i have no idea of legalities or what this might entail.

What do you suggest for roof mounted unit?

Thanks, valuable input as always!

Last Bump, price lowered to $200

Willjr75, do you see any need to get one of these for the BF-F8HP? https://www.amazon.com/Authentic-NA-771-15-6-Inch-SMA-Female-BaoFeng/dp/B00KC4PWQQ/ref=pd_bxgy_107_2/156-4562530-6315718?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=QREDGYATDAK3T1BN32X8

Unless they are coming from Mexico that is....

Thank you I will look into this!

My BF-F8HP arrived in the mail yesterday, spent all night playing with it. Great recommendation I love it! I still need to get used to all the features but by the end of the night I was dialed into some great chatter. Thanks again!

Great thread, I am planning on making my first build an 7.62x39. Reason being is I already have an SKS and a Saiga 7.62 and plenty of ammo. Will be simpler on ammo acquisition. On a plain AR lower what upper do you all recommend? I was looking at an Olympic ARMs K16 (K30R16UR) for the upper...

Non taken, my apologies for the error.

Between Israel and Russia this week Obummer looks like a whiney brat taking the ball and going home. At least the world sees him for who he is a spiteful little man.

Bump, price lowered to $250!!...Also open to interesting trades...

That's what the throw away is for :)

That would work, but I don't want radioactive lib ashes all over WNY

Should build a wall around that cesspool, razor wire on the top, attack helicopter patrols. Leave the hoods and policy makers in there, they are both the problem, let them sort this out.

Scary idea, I lend myself the idea to Bug In rather than Bug out being that I live in a rural community. First would have to be safety of my immediate family make sure everyone is home and ok. I would then start security protocols around the home and begin to take and active inventory of what...

This is a good idea, I found this article...worth checking out. Prepper Problem Solving - Creating a Bug Out Bike and Trailer Rig - The Prepper Journal

A possible idea, rented storage unit near the river. EDC to your storage unit where your preps await and have the time and security to assemble and last minute game plan (gather Intel). Then move on to cross the river.

I wonder if perhaps an inflatable might work for crossing the Hudson...obviously would depend on the conditions and location. Inflatable Boats, Inflatable Kayaks, Inflatable SUPs and Inflatable Boat Accessories from SeaEagle.com These appear to be small enough to pack away and it states on the...

F/S Barely used Laserlyte Training gear for sale or interesting trade. Scoretyme trainer and Trainer Pistol Premium - LT-PRE (which is universal for all handguns) to be sold together. Everything works as should. MSRP on this is over $470...Will let it go for $300. Can ship if needed.

Not sure of the type of work you do Phautoe, but is bugging in an option? Hold up somewhere until the time is right to head home? Different kind of prep list with that situation.

I can't give to much advise as I have never lived in a large city or even been to NYC to be honest but I think the most important thing would to have a few designated routes out of there if SHTF. Survival chances go up exponentially further from huge population centers you are in a SHTF situation.

I was at the local truck stop exchanging step kids this weekend, It was amazing to see how few people are aware of their surroundings. These areas are a potential breeding ground for criminals and with all eyes focused on phones it is unfortunately rampant with easy prey.

This is an interesting concept. I do not live far from home but I am interested to see the input. A couple of questions. What hazards to you face on your commute? Urban route? Rural roads? How bad is the snow in your area? How many access points are there for crossing the river on your...

Thank you for your input, I think I will go with your recommendation.

That is a classic rifle!

I think most of us here believe that protection is responsibility of the individual and not the government. I fully support law enforcement as well but most of the time they play clean up crew and an investigative role. Stay vigilant.

I have just started looking into a radio addition, Does anyone have any recommendations? I have thinking either the BaoFeng BF-F8HP or the BaoFeng UV-5X3. I plan on just using this for scanning and monitoring. Transmitting in a SHTF situation. Possible license down the road.

Head in the sand Panthers... not much has changed. BTW the comments in this article are great!

I have seen this bow up close, its not pretty but is practical Compact Folding Takedown Bow | Survival Bow 50lb Weight | Primal Gear

We need to encourage innovation on this but definitely not for me. Might serve a good purpose as a hide away gun, or a back pack gun? Not really the best carry option.

In an effort to make cheaper electricity the utilities in this country over the last 20 years has automated may facets of the power grid, unfortunately this also leave all of us very vulnerable to outside attacks.
