Lets consider the fact that PBE has all of eternity to dig a tunnel deep enough to evade sensors (I suggest we start the tunnel in Australia) and that several PBE operators are neets with no life. With determination, decades and enough funding for ramen & shovels it could happen. Of course the FBI is reading this and specifically its probably my boss reading it checking up to see that I'm on the job. Not that I am, but I'd lie about that if I was.

>not monitoring for FOD as a matter of course

I've seriously considered moving from FL to a state where the cost of living is lower, like AL even. Maybe close to the state line where we could still work in FL.

Ideally we'd homestead on a few acres, so light livestock and gardening, composting, recycled rain water for toilets or irrigation, solar panels, well insulated home, the whole nine yards.

No idea where this came from, but for home defense I think the most ridiculous/outlandish thing I've come up with were drop down or pop up heavy steel gauge panels in entrance ways with gun ports, or embrasures on parts of the home. Honestly though, they'd be impractical as hell and probably as useful as czech hedgehogs or faraday cages (where's the reynolds wrap!?).

Mixed feelings about a saferoom, but a bunker could serve multiple purposes... right? Right?!

Fortunately in this day in age there is so much material on homesteading that the groundwork is mostly laid out for you with a little research. Now I would like to have a garage separate from the home, complete with a forge, to work on knives and what have you. I wouldn't want to go too primitive there though.

A barn would be nice for livestock, but I doubt we'd raise that much, and a chicken coop and a few goats would probably do us just fine.

How I structured the layout would depend on the land. I'd try to work with it to get the maximum potential as far as sunlight/irrigation/etc goes. Of course a humble fence would probably suffice for keeping the livestock in and the gawt dang cattle robbers out too. Maybe some razor wire for the chupacabras and coyotes.

>>106875
I assumed nice wood floors, guessing that nobody on here would be plebian enough to want carpet.

You'd probably want some decent fortifications if you're moving to a state neighboring Florida anyways, since eventually the state is gonna get punished by god/NOAA and you're gonna have to deal with the hordes of boomers fleeing north as the state slips below the waves.

>>106913

Sink, Florida, sink.

I've seen the same estimates, but on the flip side there's a lot of man made intervention to prevent the coast from sinking. I grew up in Vernon and Panama City Beach, so I saw the best of both worlds as far as FL goes. Everyone inland is good, mostly armed, and ready for the rapture/WW3. Those baby boomers on the coast? Not so much.

I do think so minor adjustments to the property could be done to remedy the situation. If we homestead, I do want to be very neighborly with the people close to me. As far as actually fortifications go, it really depends on the property, depending on how it lays, there's a lot of options to fortify a home I think.

Now roof access from inside the home and the addition of gun ports on it could work. A strong roof that could serve as a veranda wouldn't be so bad and the gun ports, oh hell, what's the fancy name for them when they're the arrow slit style on a roof, might even give the home a bit of flair I think.

The idea with the drop down or pop up steel barriers would be for even worse scenarios methinks. Although it might be a fun project all the same.

I know I'll avoid French doors, and I'd rather not have windows on the bottom floor if it's built to our specifications. Maybe some small skylight style 'windows' to offer natural light. I'd want a two story home that's green and mean. Of course some of the modifications I'd want to do myself or with local contractors who didn't know what they were building. Fabricating the steel barriers might not even be that outrageous, but making them look inconspicuous would be tricky. In the end that might only slow people down. You know, unless someone, like myself or the missus happens to be there and is taking advantage of the gun ports.

It's fun to daydream about faux apocalyptic scenarios, but I'm just not convinced it'll happen. Still fortifying a home as a project could be a blast.

Ha, my buddy in Erie county has been waiting over a year. Meanwhile I got denied because I was depressed in high school and don't currently have a PCP to tell them I'm not crazy.

Post on here and numerous other sites which means I am on a list.
Went through a cop school which means I am on a list (fingerprints, in depth background investigation).
Almost got hired on to a mid size agency, which means I am on a list (Polygraphed, psych test, fingerprints).
Have bought a metric fuckton of guns which means I am on a list.
Have an interesting google search history, which probably means I am on a list.

If it were as easy to get on any list of tinfoil consequence as some of you boys seem to think, said lists would be too bloated with bycatch to be of any use.

>Nice stand!
It's not that impressive when you get a good look at it. I had a few pine 4x4s but not enough to construct all of it so I got some pressure treated ones. Turns out the ones at LOWES are actually 3.75" or some shit. But it is sturdy as fuck and that's all that matters
>Jelly of your anvil.
It's quite nice, it's also slightly magnetic near the pritchel hole. I noticed it when I was forging some curtain tiebacks for a friend. It also came with a hot-cut tool, pic related
>your anvil and safety equipment
I can see that you favor more Romanesque anvils. I also personally eschew wearing gloves and an apron, the gloves are more of a hindrance in my opinion.

>>106780
I agree about the gloves. The picture is old and I've since ditched them. The apron is nice though because more than once I've glanced myself with a hot piece and best case I'd have ruined my shirt (worst case burned myself). Also it keeps my pants from becoming a filthy mess.

If you don't know already, holy shit don't wear synthetics. Shit will melt to your skin from stray embers.

P.S. watch Secrets of the Viking Sword. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/ancient/secrets-viking-sword.html

  Do any of you amateur smiths or wannabe smiths (like myself) watch the show called "Forged in Fire"?

Its hosted by a bunch of cool dudes, two of which are two of my favorite dudes, Will Willis (Ranger, PJ, etc), and Doug Marcaida (knife fightan dude). The other guys are cool. And watching some random smiths turning pieces of scrap metal into cool weapons in a time crunch is fun.

If you are bored and wanna watch knife making shit. Check it out. Season 3 just started recently.

All dimensional lumber is smaller than it's nominal size. A 2x4 is not 2" by 4" either. The nominal dimensions is what the lumber was cut to at the mill, BEFORE it was seasoned and planed. At least, that was how it was done back in the day. But the naming scheme survives.

>>106783
I don't like gloves either. Some mechanix gloves I tried, but they're also synthetic, and I *like* having my hands so I can jack off. So there's that.

Jeans and a cotton T shirt are what I wear when smithing, because, fuck synthetics, and it keeps you really cool if you're wet.

Did you see the part where the guy really wasn't harassing them at all and Jaelyn was so very intimidated he stuck his head out of their Subway sandwich shop refuge to confront a homeless guy for some reason? And said homeless guy not only punched him but clung to the "fake uber" as they drove off?

And then--then!--this encounter with a homeless guy and a "fake uber" was so traumatic that they could not possibly stay in their apartment. Which is why they have to explain to their youtube channel why they are back in Phoenix so fast.

I mean this story is about as solid as Ryan Lochte's.

>After years of tolerating dissenters who shouted down unpopular speakers on campus, the school is now considering a policy of meting out suspensions, expulsions or other punishment for those it sees as violating free speech rights.
>"We're not opposed to protest. We're opposed to disruption," said Randal Picker, a law professor. "These are university campuses; there should be a lot of activity on them."
>Some students blasted the creation of the committee, calling it an attempt to discourage left-leaning causes.
>"It comes from a place of reputation management, of wanting to preserve the university's image to alumni, to parents, and to try to control the issues that are on the university's agenda," said Cosmo Albrecht, a member of student government and a junior from San Antonio, Texas.
Leftist admits that disruption is his only possible response when faced with opposing points of view.

The actual text of the letter clearly states that they are not supported.

Well they did strip out a *few* pipes in the couple weeks before I moved in. Turning the water on in my barn for the first time was a little surprising. They also just cut all the copper out of the barn as well, even ripped the junction box out of the wall

>Home inspection only found minor stuff.
Just helped move my mother into a new home last month. The home inspector managed to miss that the A/C unit had no Freon in it at all. We only managed to not burn up the motor because one of the people helping us move noticed the A/C had never turned off in like 12 hours and connected the dots. Anyway, it could pay to get individual things looked at by specialists.

  >>106750
>>106758
Home Inspector can miss a LOT of stuff, the one we had on the first home missed rotting floor board on the back sliding door and house is on septic instead of sewer like it is listed in the listing.

A lot of the stuff you won't find out till you've lived in it and really explore the house.


Congrats on being a home owner

I spent at least a good month hunting for a shoulder strapped US-made tool bag with individual pockets and maybe or two parts box compartments. Most of the tool bags on the market anywhere close to that description are Chinese imports with thin material and are mostly fold-open doctor-style bags with not nearly enough side pockets, and I hate having to dig around 'em.

The carpenter case by Occidental Leather came close, but I ended up with VetoProPac because while they're made in China, they pretty much satisfied most of the details I was looking for. However, their newer designs include neoprene and their three models that have a laptop compartment are such a high price that I'd only consider for an American made product.

>>106761
I'll make an announcement when/if I get set up

I used to make stuff exactly like that in the Corps. Thick canvas, webbing reinforcements, pull-dot snaps, and such.

Problem with making stuff like that is people don't actually understand how much those materials cost and how much labor can really go into just one well made tool pouch.

That's why I want to do the one off custom stuff. Person is already willing to pay, will treat the product well, and will likely come back to me for any repairs. Plus making new patterns and the whole problem solving involved with prototyping is actually kind of fun.
