Could just be routine stuff, a "send out a leaflet like this out every 5 or 10 years thing I mean.
Could you link to an english version or sum up what it said?
Planning on moving to benisland in like 3-6 years, whats the prepper scene like there?
Yeah I know the language is supposed to be hard but I'm willing to learn the language as the host country (would be being hypocritical otherwise).
I also know about the finns being less tolerant to, gives me more hope that they might not end up like sweden (no offense intended to you)
Yeah that's what I've heard elsewhere sadly. Figured the conscription might offset the scene in the traditional sense though. Perhaps the camping/hiking scene could be a good place to look considering how harsh the climate there can be?
Aww fuck, I was hoping it would at least be better than this place. Mainly moving there for the climate tbh. I'm training for the vidya sector so finding work seems like it might be the biggest issue for me personally (language aside).
Some of what shes saying is valid, but keep in mind shes not talking about a shtf situation, so take what she says and run it through a filter. Some of it is common sense ofcourse.
Oh I totally know its a left as fuck country and all, but for the most part I don't mind aside from the rapefugees, as much as thats a sin to say around here. The cold weather is like %70 my reason for wanting to live there. Got at least another two years of uni, and could be doing a few years in Japan depending on how things go so its awhile off yet. Will definitely start learning the language in advance though.
that's pretty cool, would be nice to see a larger test group to prove their reliability. If they are, then armouring up a large number of people could be pretty cheap. Making custom armour for home defense could be good to, hell this stuff is pretty light right? Could even make shields and bullet resistant walls if you wanted perhaps?
>Criticising the girl and not the guy who posted an irrelevant video
Some of the shit she says is kinda relevant, everyone's situation is different so they will be relitive to some and not for others. Think of the two bug out pack extremes, the people who only need it to last a 3 day hike to a bug out location and the people with full I'm.Never.Coming.Home bags. The info is relevant to both.
Hell most of us are glorified backpackers until shit its the fan anyway so i'm sure a lot of us are falling into bad habits she addresses in the vid :v
>That skellington hand
Depending on how heavy they are inserts only need to give you the minimum from the sides, think slat shaped on the sides, perhaps making them a little thicker would protect from more than handgun rounds?
Sandbags are fine but these things take up less room if your walls aren't already hollow, but its still a good point, maybe use them on doors? I'm thinking more in a passive "If someone breaks into your house I don't want to shoot someone in the next room" kinda way. Sandbags can be pretty heavy to, wouldn't want them upstairs either.
as far as I know you aren't likely to be caught as long as you stay off important frequencies. I think its mainly for broadcasters? In any case getting a radio seams to be worth it just to receive news in a disaster when other stuff goes down. If you've got a group and you all have radios then it seams great. Smartphones might not work in an emergency ya'know?
Yeah I guess. Never heard about those vbieds, saved a bunch of the pics for design reference tho, so cheers.
If I run out of TP when camping I just find a bunch of smooth flat rocks and use those, y'know the kind you use for skipping across lakes? I imagine you could collect a bunch of those and wash them with boiling water if you have the luxury of time for it.

You should have all your other bases covered. You can store a few weeks worth of food in the fourm of canned meats and grains (like oatmeal and rice). Sort that shit out before worrying about armour.
If you are buying a helmet then buy one for protection, you can use a hat with a headlamp unless you have some special need for a FAST style helm. You can get bullet resistant ones to, like this one for example:
https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/pgd-arch-high-cut-helmet-nij-iiia/58107
Seriously cover your food, water, guns, and electricity stuff before dropping a lot of money on armour tho. You can buy a years worth of canned meat for the same cost as the helmet I linked, or like 100 days of meals in the form of canned meats, fruit, rice, and oatmeal.
See the MRE thing I posted here for how to make your own mre's if you want more mobile meals.
if unrest never comes then just rotate the used food out by eating it normally, and repeat.
A bong, bidets seam kinda dumb when you have showers with movable heads on a hose.
>>598372
But then you need to wash your hands with soap?
A year's worth might be excessive in your case, but you can buy a lot for cheap. In a major emergency you will still need a decent amount, just plan and spread the stock around if you are going to be mobile. At Least out some thought into it. Bugging in is always better than bugging out if you can.
You can store a lot of food if you have access to clean water to prepare it with (thinking rice and oatmeal in particular). But like the other anon said you will need a long term way of producing it.
Its actually referred to as the boiling vessel licence and is just comes out as tax instead because they assume everyone needs to boil water :v
Anyway anyone know if horse riding boots would be any good as outdoor footwear? I already wear something similar but want something I could wear in normal civilian life to. Means I can drop more money on them to I guess.
I figure a pair without the zipper down the side would be best since the zipper could lelt in water, and since repairing them in a shtf situation could be impossible.
Pic related, similar to what i'm currently wearing, but twice as tall, I wouldn't trust them for proper outdoor use :s
I was joking :v
The licence stuff only really applies to firearms, just most other European countries. Mock Asian countries instead :v
Jackboots seam close to what I was thinking about, but fuck hobnails and iron heals. they're shit on pavement and make a fuck load of noise. I was thinking horse riding boots would be better since they tend to be taller, and easier to get than jackboots, whilst still being designed to be hard wearing? Or am I putting to much faith in the industry?
Varusteleka is the only place I've seen "modern" jackboots for sale, but their stock is sporadic and not being able to try them on in person means its costly to exchange them if they don't fit right.

They also sell these but i'm thinking a taller boot would be better for moving through water or walking through mud?
https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-biker-boots-black/57091
Is reenactment gear up to scratch though? I know varusteleka have their own modern copy of the corcoran boots but i'm looking for higher leg ones if that's a possibility. Again, these are mostly going to be used in civilian life unless an INCH situation happens, in which case I want boots that can last. I just don't want to spend £££ on a pair that I will only use when hiking and camping otherwise.
Just checked the riding boots I was looking at getting but didn't realise how thin the soles were,you've probably saved my ass pointing out how quickly they would wear. I could maybe get a Cobbler to resole a pair but that seems extreme if what I'm looking for exists. Jackboots seam pretty close to what I want, but to short with all the ones I've seen, and lacking adjustment straps like the boot in the image of >>600706
Engineer boots seem to be exactly what i'm looking for as long as they aren't "fashion" shoes. Cheers dude ^_^
Anecdotal but
The poles here (South Wales) seam to at least be good workers, at least compared to the muds. Not that this place isn't going downhill with our authoritarian government and all~
>Limiting gun ownership in the name of freedom
It almost seems like they want people to call out a contradiction.
Boxers a shit. Get the tighter kind. That's it.
Being expensive seams to defeat the point. The engineer/biker boots >>600784 mentioned seam to be the evolution of jackboots, and come in the long but adjustable length i need ;w;
Plenty of places seem to be selling them in longer lengths. As for cost £100-300 seams to be decent, considering I've been paying around £50 for boots that last a year otherwise.
You might as well just use an adjustable optic (assuming you are using a rifle) if you aren't going to bother with binoculars. The main downside between using monos and bi's are that bi's tend to be much longer range from what I've heard.
Does NIR compliant matter much? I'm thinking about switching to Finlands M05 as my concealment pattern and have the option of getting most of it in NIR compliant materials if I want. Is it something to worry about?
Oh is it only Nylon that glows? Is regular cotton and wool fine?
The rucksack I got just happens to be nir compliant, so I figure I just need an NIR compliant poncho (which also acts as my camo) and i'm suddenly fine.
I'm more thinking if it's really worth it, like how likely are enemies (weather military or civilian) to have them?
Pretty much won't be washing the stuff since its only my rucksack and poncho that are going to be visible (as a top layer) in theory. Good to know on the off chance I get other NIR stuff though :o
Ah yes I've heard of those before. Was already planning on using them as a top layer with more comfortable socks underneath :)
Trying to figure out if it would be better to make my own footwraps, or just wait until Varusteleka gets some Finnish/NVA ones back in stock.
I'm hoping to get a pair that ends just above my calf that closes with a buckle so that they don't sag down.
Good channel by the way, Lars seams like a cool dude.
