SHTF normally mainly focuses on short-term survival situations where after you're done feeling shocked, it's usually only days or hours before the before the situation is over.
However, not all collapses are temporary. How can a prepper know for certain that when the collapse takes place that it isn't permanent? You never know, a man-made or natural disaster could wipe out everything except for the people who have survived it thanks to their sturdy bunkers.
The potential of a long-term bug out situation is why preppers believe it's so important to understand the skills on how to make essential items such as weapons and specifically, gunpowder.
If a prepper is wise, they will have already been stocking up food to last them a while, however, when it's all used it they will need weapons to help them catch food. When ammunition is gone it's important to know how to make more of it.
On the next page, check out step-by-step instructions on how to make gunpowder for a long-term SHTF situation and add this essential skill to your survival expertise.

Can’t wait to sit outside and piss and$#%&!@*in a bucket for 10 months
I agree about the airguns!
It doesn’t matter if the wild game runs out. There will still be people to eat. Easy peasy problem solved.
a prepper wouldnt go around shooting everyone and everything. im sure 5000 rounds will last a LONG time.

Say again?

What ‘food’? They gonna hunt each other to eat?

Speak for yourself if I run out of ammo then I suck and need to rethink
And I’m going all Daryll and have 100 bolts for the cross bow and 2 dozen arrows for the bow
You won’t make it no matter how well you prep.. If the grid goes down and all infrastructure gives out it won’t be long till the whole Earth becomes poisoned with radiation.. Thank you nuclear power for killing the planet.
Who the hell would wanna survive that..l NOT ME!
Let me see if I remember the recipe again, isn’t it sulfuric/nitric and glycerin lol
Doesn’t take ammo to kill game. Ever here of traps, snares or a bow and arrow? But keep shooting that firearm… It will make you easier to find…
Potassium nitrate (salt peter) sulfur and charcoal. Black powder
Practice with a bow and arrow
Do you have any idea how much raw data is on wiki?
About 60 gigs but u will want to add wikihow and other data or trade files (porn, books, movies etc) as well as your own collections of photos etc I would say a TB would be plenty for most people.
Not if you use a bow
you can make it with wood and sulfure, the wood you can use to get potassium nitrate after you burn it, the ashes left over are salts.
Salt peter is KaNO3
Then sulphur you can get from some wells from ground water.
Charcoal you can make from wood too.
the main use of ammo during a doomsday scenario would be currency IMO.
I think most people will be so heavily armed, that we would all get along remarkably well, conflicts would be rare. people would learn to cooperate.
Then a knife goes into use
Make sure it’s a solid state drive. No moving parts
Also, a chromebook with no moving parts, my Lenovo 100s has flash HD. Get a solid case, and keep in Faraday with solar charger. You’ll have that info for the rest of your life.
If you run out of ammo, you didn’t “prep” correctly.
Who only had 1 or 2 rounds? Let’s talk 10’s of thousands in several different calibers. Let’s just say the gub mint thinks the same. …. they are in a world of hurt
If$#%&!@*went south I would first of all never use a single bullet to hunt food I’d use a trap or build a bow bullets should only be used for protection with lots of threat present to justify using ammo
That’s why I keep this along with black powder rifle I can manufacture every to keep reloading
Dixie Gun works has flint locks
We have black powder hunting seasons so rifles are abundant in RI. I deer hunt ever November with mine
You assume the likely hood of a dooms day event or even a what people on this forum are calling a SHTF moment couldn’t touch a bunker. That in itself is silly, good family friends and the ability to communicate after the power is off is king. I can think of many scenarios where ammunition would be scarce. One example is arming the non prepers of whom you trust that were not smart or able to do so before hand because like you said Rambo$#%&!@*doesn’t work. So with that being established, how many prepers live right next door to each other versus people who just have a couple of rifles in thier cabinets. Another scenario is keeping all the people you don’t want around you or family away. There would be gangs of dooms day retards trying to survive after resources became scare trying to steal and dominate, well idk about you but small proxy wars with thugs and bullys wherever you may be would go through rounds quite fast. I get what you are saying Billy but there is no math to the unknown. And sure as hell is there no absolute plan, so learn more absorb knowledge so that when SHTF so dumb all these acronyms, then you can say hey today I’ve got 1000rds, or perhaps the next day say hey I’ve got to fab up some arrows. A knife and bow will more effective at this point.
I think you mean guerrilla, not gorilla….
Shane Oster
Indeed.
You guys have some wild fantasies about this$#%&!@* You want a realistic view of how it would be, watch the movie The Road.
I’m astonished that people don’t understand the difference between a civil war and a revolution.
We don’t need a fucking civil war. Jesus…..
99.9% of you have never fired a shot downrange at a hostile enemy. Even in WW2, only roughly 10% of military personnel saw combat. Yet everyone on here talks they are the next Rambo when$#%&!@*hoes down..hahaha.
Andy Sims
Learn how to hunt with a bow and traps and save ammo for people
Just take am have and use it get more lol
Joseph Lecrenier check it out
While I can run out of ammo for my firearms I also train with and keep a bow
Figure out a way to make amlodipine, hydrochlorothiazide,and aspirin or I won’t last more than a couple of months.
Just remember that if you have an I an enemy combatant laying if front of you there will be ammo!
Good things to know just in case no matter what it is.. take knowledge learn it and teach others… it’s also good to know how to make non- gun weapons, bows, spears, arrows, traps can go along way to help… besides the loud bang of a gun can attrack others you might not want around
If I run out of 300, rounds and 280#s of powder I’m in some DEAP s**t
I love it when liberals try to tell me that the Democrats, “are not going after the Firearms”… this is one of the few true statements that is made by the Democrats; they’re no longer going after the firearms because of it that’s blatant disregard for the Second Amendment, they’ve chosen to go after the ammunition to include closing the last lead smelting plant in Illinois!
or they can just crack open the 100,000 rounds of .22 they have in their closet
also here’s a keen prep idea, educate people, break the media fear bullshit, stop living like a sheep.
