A True Doomsday Prepper
yeah.i figure no chain saw in such a small enclosed area.but thats the 1st thing that came to mind..and it stayed..
I usually just make most things like the shelving, but had to do something different in this case. Those barrels were a great find though! There #2plastic, which is food grade, and have lids with bands that seal up good. The only thing that worries me with them, is you don't really know what they were filled with. They can ship anything in them, and I'm a little cautious of what chemical residue could be in it. Oh well, I scrubbed them well at least! I really wish I could find some new ones.I got a few of those blue barrels myself. We keep feed for the critters in them and I also have those metal type shelves, but only a couple. One stationary like you and the other with wheels. Both in my stock room and I love them for storage.
I paid thirty each for them, but think you can get them new for around 70 plus freight. My guy said hey had baking soda in them, but the labels had been peeled off, so who really knows. I feel that when a salesmans lips are moving, be wary .Hunny found ours from somewhere online. They shipped some sort of peppers in them or at least that is what ours were labeled
It never ceases to amaze me how little your rights are on your own property!Oddly enough I once met a couple who lived outside Liberal in Kansas who upon first glance lived in a big mobile home and had a storm shelter built into a berm to protect from tornadoes, But the inside of the shelter was as big as the inside of the mobile home and far better fitted out. They lived more underground because it was cooler in summer and warmer in winter but was not quite legal due to local laws, so they kept a basically fitted out mobile home on top to keep the authorities happy
One thing I am certain of, if someone is bad enough that I need to shoot them, I'm not going to stop till the clip is empty. There is no way I am going to give someone the chance to sue me over some lawyers technicals loopholes. I hope I never need to shoot anyone, but if pressed in a corner I plan to come out on top.Quote>>""It never ceases to amaze me how little your rights are on your own property!""
Back in 1988 when I was still in San Jose our neighbor in front of a duplex was found to be the person who was leaving notes to my wife and black roses in the mailbox. She was scared and I was pissed and eventually caught him in the yard one night. I pounded and stunned the guy with 990k volts and held him til the cops arrived. They arrested him for trespassing and later evidence and another witness connected him to several incidents of the same to other married women. I remember the officer telling me after I told him I was going to shoot the guy, he told me privately to make sure I lured him inside first or I was to pull him inside after, basically saying to me, it's not what it is but rather what I could make it look like. Even though I had gates that were locked everything from the street right up to my door was public access, even to strangers. when I moved to the Fresno area, sierra nevada foothills near Sequoia Nat'l park, 3k feet I thought things would be different. I'm on 5 acres and the house is right in the middle. here it's still the same laws as San Jose, everything from the street right up to my door is public access and you don't have rights to shoot someone on public access so here's where you have to be creative. If the person really deserves it you have to make it look legit in order to protect yourself. Why shouldn't we be able to do this when law enforcement does it all the time. Many agencies do it and i've heard that quote many times. "It's not what it is, it's what it can be made to look like". Shouldn't be that way, you should have the right to shoot and kill someone who has come to your house to do you harm or worse. Obviously if the person is in your driveway (public access) and starts to point a gun at you then you have to do what you have to do. This public access rule/law does not protect a home owner but protects criminals more and in some cases they can file a law suit against you and possibly win. Even breaking in to your home and they fall and hurt themselves, they can sue you. I say get crafty, be smart and make it look like what you want to protect yourself and your family.
This is only true IF you also own the mineral rights to the land. Just because you own a property doesn't mean that you automatically own the mineral rights too. Many people who have inherited land have found out the hard way that their great grandfather sold the mineral rights years before. Before buying any land always check to see who owns the mineral rights. Now days it is unusual that any land, in potentially mineral rich areas, will include the mineral rights. Fyi, most areas of the US also require a license or permit for drilling a water well too. I had to file a water right on a spring on my property in order to keep someone else from claiming it. Years ago the "Colonies" fought a war against England for independence, only to become very much like England today.Least you chaps in the former colonies own what is under your feet, if you find oil, gas, water, coal , diamonds etc they are yours, in the UK its all owned by the state if its underground. Even drilling a bore hole for water requires licencing.
Law makers are also trying to pass a law that everyone has to use propane and cannot use firewood in wood burning stoves. BS, I can't afford to use propane to heat my home..
