Nice scores ! My LGS had a tent sale this weekend and I picked up 5 boxes of each... Stingers for $6... Fiocchi 40 grain 22WMR for $13... and Ammo Inc 380 100 grain at $16....so decent prices without having to buy full cases... They also had a tent sale in spring and I scored a half a case of Sellier & Bellet 7.62x39 for $10 a box, which was a steal... 🤠👍 Thanks for sharing n' God bless
Never stop learning. Gain skills. It is what separates us from the animals. Many animals can hoard for the future. Do more than that. How about starting a garden before SHTF, or raising small food animals or tending a grape vine or making wine or learning to sew cloth or stitch leather. Guns are good, but there are a lot of other skills to learn. Heck, about half of Americans can barely cook, and even less can bake bread. Oh, and while stocking up on ammo, stock up on lubricants, springs, pins, and other small parts that your heirs will need to fire those guns and use up all that ammo you have stockpiled. Wife and I, on a half acre we have 1,700 square feet of garden plus 20 berry bushes, 14 fruit trees, a grape vine and a nut tree. We both can cook and bake from scratch, we can, dehydrate, freeze, ferment, make jams, and cold store our produce and some meat. Other skills in the house include reloading brass and shotshells, first aid, bicycle maintenance, drywall install, repair and texture, interior and exterior painting, bricklaying, some carpentry, some electrical, some plumbing, some leather working, sewing, first aid (one of us was an EMT), project planning, technical writing, engineering spreadsheets, fishing, filleting fish, tying flies, felling trees, meat cutting, small animal butchering, knife and tool sharpening, small engine carburetor rebuilding and other mechanical. We've stockpiled raw materials and have tools. It has saved us a lot of money in addition to being ready for lots of things. Other non-life-support or job skills include playing mandolin, harmonica, hammer dulcimer and lapidary arts. We have primitive camped in the dead of winter, through a tropical storm, and most other weather. Besides the garden foods in the pantry it also includes the usual, beans, rice, flour, sugar, yeast, baking soda, baking powder, spices, condiments, canned meats, dehydrated milk, all the foods we usually eat, then there's about a year's worth of household chemicals, detergents, lubricants, adhesives, tape, and the emergency stuff, tarps, hardware, rope, chain, wire, pvc pipe, locks, 45 gallons of fuel that is used FIFO regularly, 3 extra full propane tanks, sewing materials, cord, additional fence for expanding the garden again, chain saw lube, two stroke oil, furnace filters, paper goods, two generators, extension cords, additional fishing tackle and line, We've also been assisting our community in becoming more prepared since 2020. We've helped with gardens including tilling and care, given some fruit trees, taken people to the shooting range, and introduced people to home canning. Oh, and our ammo stockpile, including reloading components about 5 years of typical use with 760 rounds worth of magazines and speed loaders. Another thing to do is exercise. Besides the chores around the house and garden I've been walking the dog while carrying a 20-27 pound pack for the past 50 months. We recently passed 3,700 miles since we started. Last year we only missed 3 days, and got over 1,100 miles. This year we will probably walk 950 miles and take 9 days off. Besides former EMT, we also had the following jobs, chef, restaurant and bakery manager, chemical process engineer, quality engineer, auditor, dialysis technician, truck driver, hospice caregiver, wastewater technician and foreman, lab technician, CNC mill operator, school teacher, Girl Scout leader and officer in the South Carolina State Militia. I'd like to learn some other skills, as much as I'd like to, black smithing is out, the shoulder won't do it, I may try growing wheat and turning it into flour or build a chicken coop. Or maybe get enough bricks and mortar to make a smoker and outdoor kitchen.
Thanks for the advice- I know how to garden, cook, survive with basic skills (though I do need to learn how to clean animals), have go-bags, have basic first aid in vehicles and tools, I can’t say I’m prepared for everything, but I’m prepared for a lot. Guns are a hobby and tools, and you need ammo to feed them and practice
@@crankygunreviews How about a series of videos about other skills that people need these days. So many people are so one or at most two dimensional about prepping, stockpiling and so on. Explain that guns and a few months of supplies may not be enough. Oh, practice, I understand believe me, some years my wife and I go through about 6k rounds. Pistol, carbine, rifle, shotgun. But someone in this community, the gun community, the prepper community, they intersect, someone has to start preaching add some skills. All I see is stockpiles of food, ammo, five favorite guns for SHTF, best ammo for SHTF and so on. Maybe a second channel. Maybe with guests for specific skills. The Cranky Gun Reviews Other Skills Channel? Talk the idea over with some close friends, please. We need this voice.
@@phild8095 there is a lot of that out there. I’m not sure I want to touch on it, but I’ll think about it. Paul Harrell did some 3 day pack videos, I’ve seen some stuff on Sootch00 channel about prepping but yeah I’m not sure about the long term… I have tons of veggie seeds vacuum packed (actually not sure they’ll be good indefinitely though), have garden tractors and tools for turning dirt and gardening, I could turn my whole yard into a garden if I wanted too. Course my house is on a busy street so it would be an easy target… I’ve actually though about this quite a bit, but there are some holes in my plans I need to work out
That’s a great price on the 5.56.
Yeah- I tried to buy 20 boxes, but they limited it to 5 per customer.

Academy has good deals regularly and a special veteran/first responder discount
@@itsnodawayitustabe5654 no academy’s near me and they won’t ship to Mass.
I like to replenish what I shoot , but I haven't had the time and the weather has been to nasty. Hope to go soon
@@JG-xt9io I need to go to the range a lot more frequently
The New Republic ammo is manufactured in Hungary.
@@JohnJones-oy3md been good stuff for me
Good video

Running out of ammo can cause one to get cranky.
I hope I never run out, but getting below my comfort zone does make me cranky
@@crankygunreviews Same here bro
