Ive always had the itch to prep but i think it's only realistic at this point to prepare for the worst. I found this very video valuable in getting started on my prepping journey

You’re obviously not on gafs if you think you can’t get anything from your parts.

I started prepping with a quantity over quality mindset, wanting the ability to arm the adults in my family rather than die alone with a $2K gun. Now that I want to consolidate some, nothing is even worth selling. All tested, well-maintained and serviceable weapons, just none of them have any resale value. Definitely something to think about if you're considering a large investment for a group.

hey, i thought this was a gun channel, where gun?! 😅

If you can't afford to live you shouldn't spend the money on expensive AR-15s just to turn around and sell it because you don't have the money to get by.

Oof this is bad financial advice. A 40% loss of $500 sure beats a 10% of $3000. If you are in the position to have to sell guns you should have build a better emergency fund. Preparing for SHTF while your finances are already there.

Interesting video. It’d be interesting to hear your thought on crypto/finance.

One for the algorithms.

I love all you self proclaimed excepts on what to stock pile When it's simple you already own a gun that has a certain caliber. Just go buy that ammo.

Great content always. Thanks for all you do.

How about that, a list I won't be on. Who would have thought lol AI learned a lot from me and it is both confused and disgusted lol

Five things but you only held up three fingers… the far superior glove for cold

Sell it to me lol

2:08 national security? Its not my country neither of them are. Both violate the social contract but china gives me good deals so they violate it less

I have to disagree on some of this, primarily the ambi safety, the charging handle, and the trigger. Now I agree there are plenty of ways to waste money on these items by spending the most on Gucci items instead of just getting lower cost quality items or just polishing the trigger at home. I hunt with my ARs, and while this isn't a combat situation I feel that being out hunting either walking or sitting in a stand presents issues that people would actually face in a combat or SHTF situation. But specifically for the ambi safety I find that it is near impossible to switch the safety back on without first unshouldering the rifle and taking my rifle off target. So with the ambi I can keep my rifle on my target and just use my trigger finger to reengage the safety. The ambi charging handle is great because I can use my right hand to charge the rifle which actually creates less perceived motion by anything or anyone looking at me as I don't have to remove my hand from the foregrip to charge. Plus it's just an added hand to use if for some reason the left hand is not functioning or the left side of the rifle is not immediately accessible, for example of my left hand was injured or the rifle was laying on a surface and I wanted to charge it as it lay without flipping the whole thing over. The trigger should just go without saying. I'm a really good shot, but evenso I've missed a head shot from very close because of a milspec trigger. And while sitting at a bench and really concentrating on the trigger pull can yield good groups, if even the mild excitement of a hunt and those real-world conditions combined with a bad trigger can cause an easy shot to miss, then how much more a combat situation??? Bottom line is if you get even a baseline AR from PSA or Radical or whatever, you can make it an incredibly efficient hunting rifle just by adding a good trigger, an ambi-charging handle, and an ambi-safety. And if with that rifle you can sneak through the woods, navigate obstacles, and squirm around your tree stand to get perfectly placed shots under less than ideal shooting positions, then I think that rifle will operate exceptionally under high stress combat situations as well.

Great list. Unfortunately, those that are working to remove our rights don't care about the Constitution... They are throwing everything at the wall and waiting for the courts to determine legality.

@magicprepper, Sounds like you've read Chaos Agent by Mark Greaney. Entire series is amazing, highly recommend.

4:30. As far as AI job application screenings, the Veterans Administration does this for hiring. The trick is, when you write your cover letter for a position, you have to read the job description, and pull key, buzzwords out of the job description and weave them into your cover letter. Words like "fast-paced", "customer-service", "motivated", etc. If you don't do that, likely your application will automatically get kicked to the curb. Other companies use this technique as well.

USC Title 18 sections 241-242 says government isn't allowed to have weapons let alone use them on The People. They don't care what you know as long as the majority have gone through government indoctrination camps and don't look/critically think much further than that. Not trying to deter, but you're gonna need to work on the The People as much, if not more, than you work on yourself.

Which shoes go with my Tech N9ne?

Pistol with 2-3 mags, plus a knife, always.

Ramen noodles are $0.00081 per calorie if you're paying $0.30 per pack. You can often get them cheaper if you buy them in the cases of 12.

I recommend welding as a skill to learn. Braising and soldering which is much easier and still works to hold metal together if needed

I don't like the AI thing, its scary to me, very terminator -ish 😵‍💫

Buy Bitcoin/BTC.

I run x39 in the AR platform. 30 cal always beats 22. Greetings from Alaska.

Just got the Leupold Patrol 1-6 and have been recording my thoughts along the way for a future review on not just it, but the compromises I've found of LPVO's in general along my journey. My observations have been almost a 1:1 copy & paste of your same findings here. I think I'm going to make a swap also!

Weight. Weight is everything.

Holy sh*t. And greetings from Alaska.

For some reason when I think about A.I. all I can see it the Terminator movies. Skynet takes over and we are fighting some I-Robot armies of T1000's

My sense of despair is getting near-crippling. Trump 2.0 has been just about the only bright point.

Highly recommended ; Constitution 101 course is free at Hillsdale college , great people over there .

So your "Primary" is essentially the first thing you're going to reach for hence why a pistol is most people's actual primaries and why a lot of dudes have been in combat kinda look at the whole to get to my rigle thing as a joke. My general rule of thumb is stockpiling ball ammo is fine, just make sure it's worth it. You should realistically unless you're rich or shooting a shit ton only have about 6 mags worth of defensive JHP's. You bulk should be good ball ammo like some higher grain ball ammo from someone with a good track record like federal. Take you main carry mag to the range and dump those out just to make sure you're not getting stuck with a bad load. If you have enough money to stock 3k+ rounds make sure they're higher quality like federal ball, and don't bulk but blazer unless its solely range ammo. Same applies to all calibers. Make sure to at least shoot some of your stock every 6-9 months. A lot of people have a shit ton of Winchester white box 5.56 ammo bulk stocked and the quality has gone down a lot so the may not even be able to trust the several thousand rounds they have stocked.

Those magizes are terrible

Logically, half of the population is dumber than the "average" citizen. That dumber half is this community.

The only technology I master was rubbing two sticks together to make fire 🔥.

I know stop voting for traitors that try to over throw our constitution, and on top of that attack the disabled, the poor, military vets and the elderly buy stopping snap and medical. To late.

I'll take my piece of mind at least on my fighting rifle

In 2025 and you don’t know this, that just proves the lack of intelligence in America.

Great info MP. Very appreciated all that you do for us.

Regarding the US Constitution, check out Hillsdale College courses... often free. Guaranteed best source.

A 1911 still has a half-cock notch to catch the hammer if the sear fails.

The P320 is a horrible design and Sig is a flat out toxic company that needs a massive leadership purge.

Does any one else think this concern of Chinas' Deep Seek AI program is just Americas justification for 500 billion dollars of taxpayers money being given to Tech Companies to develop AI programs.

Ambidextrous safety is truly useful; "thumb" it off from the left side, and "knuckle" it on from the right side. Agree, however, that it is certainly possible to pay too much for your parts. 😎 Get a pistol-sized red dot sight for the same money as backup irons. Get a wonderful LaRue MBT trigger upgrade on sale for $80 or Schmidt (also source for ambi safety). Aero Precision BREACH charging handle for $85 is, admittedly, a luxury but slightly larger size is great.

I'm expanding my brewing knowledge and picking up distillation. Growing single row barley, tobacco, and psilocybin. Vices are not going away

Always wanted a m&p 10mm. But have held off because of the issues.

Thanks MP.

Hillsdale college ust to hae a free course on the constitution
