To the survivalist scumfuck on a budget, older milsurp tends to be a godsend-cheap and durable enough to function. Maybe it isn't the lightest, most effective or most ergonomic, but it has that combination of dirt cheap and bombproof that means it isn't a total waste of money. I've always advocated older milsurp even now when the trend among preppers is a "grey" approach, for those very reasons. Top shelf civillian gear is light, rugged and 'low profile' but only like a quarter of my budget is for the bug out scenario, which is the least likely scenario given my AO and capabilities. So I have to have cheap and unbreakable, with other considerations falling by the wayside.
Yet here I am, anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Beez Combat Systems AK chest rig and my Tru-Spec 24/7 series tactical pants. Oh, yeah, sure, maybe I need a modern chest rig for a rifle class to replace the slightly above airsoft quality 'spetsnatz' LBV I have now. And maybe i need some BDUs where the goddamn crotch isn't always blowing out due to my enormous package and\or poor quality stitching. But really these are items for the lowest percentage scenario-the full on Mad Max SHTF where I need a rifle, five mags, and ninja pants-and I think the only real reason is because I want to see how the other half lives.
I'm no gear queer, but I suppose I might be a little gear bi curious.

Race Wars & Zombie Apocalypse
I placed the following response to a question on ZS for a GRE Article linked here. The question was, "Why are Gun Owners embracing the zombie metaphor?" My response follows:
I think the thing gun owners like about the zombie metaphor is the lack of moral ambiguity.
The various prep scenarios for which full battle rattle will be most important like Balkanization, ethnic conflict or dirty civil wars are rather ugly and no one wants to contemplate it too heavily. Thinking of it in terms of zombies means a clearly defined enemy with easily discernible characteristics that everyone will unite against regardless of ideology.
It is a fun thought excercise, rather than a depressing one where you may end up killing your friends and neighbors over petty differences-or worse, being killed by them for the same petty differences. With Z's, everyone gets to dress up in their mall ninja gear and fight for humanity without contemplating the heavy question of "Where do I stand in this conflict?"
I had flashbacks to making that post when I saw this and this.
So what does this mean? I mean, we're all survivalists or quasi survivalists here, we have all had a look at Matt Bracken's CW2 Cube. In times of great tension, people tend to split along racial lines. That is a historical & sociological fact, not speculation. You see it in the micro in maximum security lockdown; you see it in the macro when nations collapse. Racism is a an act of genetic insanity that defies logic, but when the Endarkenment continues people are going to clump together based on the most easily discernible characteristics-and if that ain't a heartbeat, it's gonna be skin color.
I'm going to be really sad if TEOTWAWKI is a race war instead of a zombie apocalypse. A zombie apocalypse is simple and clean in comparison.
It would prove beyond doubt that I am right; we haven't evolved one goddamn bit, have we?

More Bugout Planning
Working to set up our group's mock bugouts for the year, we are experimenting with a major paradigm shift.
It will be on the heels of a tough year. Last year was shit for preps; we did one bugout and had another bugout that got cancelled at the last minute. A lot of it was because we had to move-all of our shit ended up deep in storage and we have been drifting aimlessly in a cheap apartment trying hard not to descend to the level of primates. Apathy, laziness, rehab, incarceration, personal dramas and financial fuckery have all lined up to kick us in the balls over the past year and have dragged our preps into an all time low when I was hoping for an all time high. C'est la vie. We have to make what we can of it.
Anyway, we had been trying to cram everything into a weekend before-juxtaposing the combat training with the bushcraft and trying to do it all at once. Thinking on it now, that might have been a mistake-it seems to work okay for SF candidates doing Robin Sage but we are just a bunch of stoners and nerds in cheap web gear trying to survive the apocalypse, the whole idea was probably a bit ambitious. So we are going to split it up, do one wilderness survival event and then five or six one combat training events plus three or four general emergency preparedness drills for bugging in.
This years wilderness bugout is tentatively scheduled for late march to mid april. We are doing a minimal gear event, just knife, buttpack and water bottle. We'll build some shelters, try some primitive fires, maybe try to harvest some wild food. I don't know for sure if we are going to bug out at our usual location (some modest acreage in the southern part of the state) or if we will be trying something new. Either way we are going to focus on our bushcraft skills and save the Mall Ninja shit for another day.
So how about it, Internet? What are you plans for bugging out this year?

State of the Drug Culture Address 2012
A lot of time I see drug law reform tossed aside as a "Minor" issue, a "fringe" issue that no one sensible cares about. From the content of this blog, you probably assume that I think it is not a minor issue, and you are motherfucking correct; violent coercion in the name of public health is not a minor issue. But we, the drug using cultures of America, are partially responsible for this attitude because we are the ones who are voting to put a goddamn rope around our own necks.
I concur that it isn't as important as a sound economy, which no one is giving us, and full respect to individual civil liberties, which no one is giving us, or even a secure border, which no one is giving us. But folks, we have fucked ourselves over in the drug culture in several ways. I'll be listing those ways now and telling you what I think some mitigating steps might be.
1) Framing the issue as "Marijuana Legalization" - Folks, the Reefer is my drug of choice too. It is healthier, safer, more fun and more convenient than any other drug. It is a sacred herb for the Healing of the I, a gift from God Almighty to keep Chris By-The-Throat from killing a man a day. But by framing the issue as marijuana legalization only, we are shooting outselves in the foot. Fact is, bad side effects or the lack thereof is not a valid reason to cede control of our dietary intake to a government body. If the effects are predictable, the drug should be on the open market. The choice is yours, not some politician's, but we have shown ourselves willing to cede that choice to them if they'll just let us have our reefer.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP: Stop making it about reefer and make it about your sovreign rights as a human. Don't compromise. Don't be content with scraps. Don't even frame the issue as relating to drugs-make it about cyberware.
2) Pretending that drug kingpins are heroes - Look, folks, I admire Tony Montana as much as any wannabe rebel fratboy, or maybe less, but we need to stop acting like these men are our friends. They pour shitloads of money into keeping the product illegal to protect their profit margin, and we act like these assholes are robin hood whenever they buy a local family a turkey for Thanksgiving. These are dangerous, ruthless men, and WHEN drug law reform happens, they are going to cause big trouble for us, of the buckets of gore variety.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP: Grow\cook your own and get ready for war, because these men will make war on you to keep you in their power.
3) Refusing to support the candidate that promises to enact drug law reform due to ideological purity - Right now, this means Ron Paul in the mainstream political arena. You'd be amazed at how many people on various Weed Legalization forums hiss like wet cats when they see an R after someone's name by instinct, and then when you call them on it, they go 'Pffft, if weed was the only thing that mattered.' You stupid motherfucker, weed doesn't matter, but an endless cycle of incarceration and murder to fight the devil weed does matter. It matters a lot, and in case you haven't noticed, our people are being killed.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP: Swallow your 'Republicans are t3h icky' bias and vote for the candidates that will enact reform. Pick your nits carefully when it comes to what you won't support; remember that the President cannot declare all the things that you hate to be law by kingly decree.
4) Accepting the legitimacy of ill conceived laws - The most maddening thing about drug law in this country is how easy it makes you submit. I mean, first offenses for weed are usually slaps on the wrist if you happen to be white and middle class, so there is no reason to kick up a fuss, no reason to make yourself appear dangerous-just assume the position, ride in the squad car, post your bail and go home. Of course, they can kill you at any time, the threat of murder is always present, but it just feels so formalized, so like a ritual song and dance number, that you don't even have a chance to react when they decide to Jose Guerena your ass into a pulverized sack of lead and bone chips. I'm not saying 'fuck the police comin' straight from the underground' but this law abiding citizen schtick has gotten us nowhere.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP: Google 'Jury Nullification' and while you are at it, start getting all militant and scary. There is no reason to legitimize the abuses our people are suffering. They should live in fear, not us.
5) Staying at home on the couch - You know who you are, you slack ass stoner. We can't expect the heroin users to get up and do anything, but our substance isn't nearly as crippling and we need to be OUT THERE, KICKING UP A FUSS. Too many of us are afraid to step up, afraid to go to the marches, afraid to go to the protests, maybe because we don't want to lose our jobs, maybe because we don't want to get on the watch list. Fuck that. Get loud. You can't hardly meet a person who thinks drug laws are perfect the way they are yet somehow we are the marginalized minority who gets murdered at will. This is not acceptable.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP: Set your alarm and go to the protests. Network. Organize. Resist.
6) Focusing on the national level - The sytem is much more malleable at the local level. Letter writing and petitions are much more relevant to the local lawmaker, and of course the local lawmaker is a much softer target for assassination, so these folks will listen to you much more attentively than anyone in Washington. Use that. If you can't go to the national march, go to the local march. If you can't make the local march on time, network and create a new one. The individual has greater power the further down the bureacratic pyramid you go, and if the states have the sack to stick with their 10th amendment related legislation, you may have a fighting chance to avoid persecution.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP: Write letters, sing kumbayah, all that good shit-but think globally and act locally. Go in for face to face meetings with your state legislature. A libertarian president would be nice, but a libertarian mayor and county sheriff can do a lot to make your life easier.
Remember, Mr and Mrs American Drug User, no other minority group in the country faces institutionalized prosectuion and murder, yet somehow our complaints are whining and our visions are pipe dreams. Our parents and grandparents allowed these rights to circle the drain along with a lot of other rights, but this might be the year we can take them back.
The forces against us are many. The current administration has made it clear that the cartels are necessary, even to the point of arming them and has thus made it clear that legalization is not on the table. The cartels have unlimited money and plenty of politicians in their pockets whose minds won't change no matter how good our arguments are. The vast majority of police view us as spoiled, entitled children whining for a pacifier while they shoot us in the face. And the greater public pays no attention to our murders when they do happen, or chalk it up as inconsequential and to be expected.
Those forces are many, but they are not infinite. We have a lot of work to do-but what alternative do we have?
Good luck, everyone, and Jah blessings.

My 5 Gun Fantasy
Granted, filling this list has about the same odds as my 5 Celebrities I'd Like to Have As Sex Slaves list, but what the hell. I'd give you both lists, but I don't want these celebrities stepping up their security at inopportune times. The gun list, though, is easy.
1. A Transferable AKM - I am willing to concede that a lot of the point of the AK is lost when you make it semi auto. Apparently there are 3 or 4 registered, transferable AK's in the country, all of which would probably cost more than my future house. Fuck paying for it, but I'd love to have one. I think this is the only practical item on the list as I would make this my bugout carbine. A to the motha fuckin' K homeboy.
2 A. Freedom Arms Model 83 Premier Grade in .454 Casul - I have always wanted a very big bore, sexified single action revolver as a sort of dress up gun. I can picture this gun in my head, all engraved with elaborate curliques like a +5 magic item, with Mammoth ivory grips, an Enfield style peep sight, and a stylized skull-and-bong logo on the cylinder. Mmmm...I'll be in my bunk.
3. An original Winchester 1897 Model Shotgun - The very gun that made the Kaiser cry like a sausage eating bitch. There are a lot of weapons I like for their history, and though in general I'm not a shotgun guy, I love the idea of owning this gun specifically because it made America's enemies howl in frustration, and because it is sort of like John Moses Browning's lost bastard child.
4. An Anzio Ironworks Mag Fed 20mm Rifle - I just want a stupidly large bore gun for no other reason than because I can have it. Granted, in the full on Mad Max scenario it might have some use in stopping hard targets...but that isn't why I want it because I have no intention of humping that big bastard on a bugout. I just want a stupidly large rifle that shoots stupidly large rounds. I could call it the Dominatrix because no matter how much it punishes me, I would keep going back to it. (I'm kind of a recoil junkie and I hear 20mm is like spiking right into your neck compared to other calibers.)
5. A Russian PKM - Either full auto or semi auto with a crank fire type adapter, for mounting to the sidecar of my (future) Ural. I also have a perverse urge to throw pink Hello Kitty Furniture on it. I just want to do drivebys with Gracie in the side car plugging away at Zombie targets as we rush by. I could really be happy with any beltfed in this position, but the PKM is ideal. Still, I wouldn't say no to an MG34 or even something older and water cooled like a Vickers. The equation is simple-beltfed mounted on sidecar = Happiness.

Femslash Friday - Tinkerbell x Vidia
I realized today that some time ago I promised all you sick fucks a discussion on the frenemy \ girl crush themes between Tinkerbell and Vidia in the CGI Disney Fairies line. I never really delivered on that before, but let it never be said that Chris By-The-Throat is kidding around when it comes to Disney Girl On Girl.
Go ahead, peruse Fairypedia for background info if you need to. I'll wait. Ya sick bastards. If you just stumbled across here using that search keyword and have no interest in the ramblings of a stoned libertarian gun blogger, head on over to ImageFap and type "Ultimate Tink" into the search bar; you'll find all the Tink porn your pervy little heart could ever desire. Think happy thoughts.
So yeah. Tinkerbell x Vidia. The stuff of slash fiction wet dreams, these two rivals are always engaging in intense staredowns and snarky back-and-forths. Functionally, Tinkerbell is the Harley Quinn and Vidia is the Poison Ivy. Tink is sparkling and trusting and innocent, and Vidia is crass and jaded and rather manipulative. It works (in my head-remember that you are all knee deep in my brain meat on this blog) and it works better if you watch the Great Fairy Rescue because you can see how stressed Vidia is when Tink gets kidnapped. The snarky bitch cares, and is actually a little possessive.
Sometimes the touches are smaller than that, though. Here, pervs, sometimes the content just generates itself. Just watch it; you knew you were going to when you came here and didn't back away immediately.
Would I care to contemplate the psychospiritual ramifications of me contemplating lesbian relationships between Disney Fairies? No. No, I would not care to do that at all.

The SHTF Folder
People love to talk about their sexy gear and guns on survivalism board but no one ever talks about the planning and skull sweat that goes into managing a SHTF group. I've been as guilty of Walter Mitty Mall Ninja-ry as anyone, but today I'd like to point out something that I have that the other "SKS + Full Spam Can + Head Colander = Preparedness" types do not have.
You can just walk on if you want a long list of my high speed low drag qualifications; my sole experience has been acquired in organizing our group for mock bugouts and thus is strictly non professional. But over the years I've put together a pretty good group and we have a couple of solid plans in place for disaster preparation. So I'd like to post about the SHTF Folder today and describe what it is and what we do with it. I'll start by listing the Table of Contents, verbatim, and I'll talk about each chapter.
Preface
(This is my special, uplifting message to group members who are opening the folder.)
Chapter 1 (Personnel) : Contact Lists, Qualification Tracker, Area Breakdown, Command Structure
(This is the business end of our preps though it is one of the shortest chapters. I find that when you have to keep track of 25+ people it requires a fair bit of paperwork and I prefer to keep updated contacts, and I have a very simple command structure revolving around the Household as the basic unit. It isn't complicated or pompous like your average militia "colonel's" might be but it does put a command structure in place for when we need it.)
Chapter 2 (Communications) : Phone Tree Protocol, COMSEC Procedures, Signals Chart
(Communications is one of the most important things we will be doing; things like our Phone Tree ensure that news reaches everyone and the protocol also allows for intelligence to be fed back up the chain to the command staff. It also outlines security procedures for radio comms in the field and provides a frequency chart with code words)
Chapter 3 (Operations) : States of Readiness, Rally Points, Procedures for Bug In\Bug Out\Fireteam
(This is the meat and potatoes of the manual and it contains our various SOPs when a disaster is occurring, depending on what the plan is. It also designates rally points and the expectations of members in various positions.)
Chapter 4 (Intelligence) : Risk Assessment, Maps & Topography, Scenario Outlines, Local Hazard Tracker
(This section contains all of our map data making it uber critical; it also contains addendum to bugout procedure based on the type of disaster and a section on risk assessment and intelligence reporting. It also provides a form to track potential dangers.)
Chapter 5 (Resource Management) - Inventory Tracker(Food, Ammo, Other) Cache Management System, Group Funding Records
(This chapter is all about piles of stuff. It provides blank sheets for keeping inventory of supplies as well as protocols and systems for managing caches, not that we have any respectable caches yet. It also contains a place for record keeping of group funds.)
Appendix 1: Useful Miscellany
(This section is mostly for cut and paste info that I found useful or relevant; about 50% of it is from Survivablog or Zombie Squad)
Appendix 2: Addendum for Command Staff
(This contains information just for area commanders and AXOs. This is not with every folder and contains a fair bit of info on how I believe this group should be led.)
Anyway, there you have it. As I always say-you can bug out without a rifle, you can bug out without food or water, you can bug out without a shelter or a knife or a bag...but you should never bug out without a plan.
How is your plan looking, folks? What goes in your SHTF folder?
