Just a guy who questions a lot of things. I'm a hair dresser who can legally defend you in a court, and I plan on going to uni for politics, music and history.

  • Please read about and rate my SHTF patrol pack?

    I work in a disposals store which gives me great access to a range of folk who are all preparing for the inevitable end of civilization as we know it when we all degrade to base desires/instincts.

    Thus, I've been incorporated into a group, (my bosses), and have made my own survival pack, plan and so forth.

    Please rate my "patrol pack" made for when I, obviously go out on patrol on the property which we're going to hold, fortify and survive from, (the first three but the pack applies to all locations none the less).

    Defensive measures: being Australian, it's hard to obtain a fire arm, so I'm going along the lines that I shall not be in possession of one when the proverbial hits the fan.

    My main armament is an 18' machete of steel construct with a wooden handle which has a wooden handle. I've hewn down a tree with it, I'm sure it's more than capable of taking down a person, and even dismembering a limb with one swing, maybe two if necessary.

    Secondary weapons are: one 6 inch folding knife, my everyday knife, I use it for everything and anything, made by Excalibur, it's made of steel with a plastic/metal handle. A small shovel 18' long with a spike on the reverse side, made of steel. My fourth and last resort is an Opinel No* 8 knife, made of carbon steel, it holds its edge longer than steel but can degrade faster if not taken care of and cleaned routinely, the blade is 8.5 cm long.

    Clothing: I am yet to find a camo system that I like the pattern of, the German Flektarn is the closest style to what I want, but there's next to no chance of finding it in colours native to Australia, thus I've looked at ghillie suits, but webbing stands out like a woman in a bar. So I shall just be buying clothing with the "jellybean pattern" on it (which is what Australia's army uses anyhow).

    Pants with two side pockets and two rear pockets at the waistline, and two pockets equal too or just above the height of the knee. The shirt would be a simple Auscam t-shirt and during the colder weather, a thicker material, (same as the pants), button up shirt, long sleeved. An Auscam "giggle hat" for sun protection on my head and footwear, a black leather variant of that used by Australian Cadets (RGs).

    Webbing: my webbing consists of Vietnam war era backpack and pouches, one ammunition pouch used to house small tins of food, one canteen pouch for my canteen which sits inside a kidney cup (750mL), another canteen pouch where I have a plastic poncho, my hairdressing cape (black for night patrols), one wound dressing and two bandages. In the pack that sits on my back itself is a days worth of food, all canned, water purification pills, a small medkit for small cuts/wounds, 10m of rope, binoculars (150-250 meter range, not the best but it's better than nothing), two boxes of waterproof matches, (I've looked at a lot of flint strikers but none caught my eye so I'll play it safe with matches), two red glowsticks for signalling, I do look to expand my range to include other colours too. Fishing line, hooks, sinkers and freshwater reaction baits, a steel file for the machete if it blunts, and if absolutely necessary, to sharpen my knives with. Also a spare ventolin inhaler.

    I also have a WW2 vintage gas mask with unused filters from the early 2000's that fit it, I was careful in selection due to some masks being made with asbestos (particularly Soviet ones), in my research I found out that my one was not issued, all in case there's a fire that causes great amounts of smoke, or indeed chemicals in the air. It has it's own carry case.

    I'll also have my sunglasses, (UV 400 rating) and a half face mask.

    The pack isn't intended for extended periods of time, but to compensate I do plan to buy a much larger backpack fitting, if not replace the whole harness with an 8 point system harness and MOLLE fitted.

    I do plan to include what else I'd be taking, my vehecle specs and so much more in the near future, please leave comments critiquing my loadout and so forth.

    Just as a hint, the first location is a winery on 40000 acres of land, the second a vital bridge/highway. We intend on being motorized on bio diesel vehecles, and I will be a part of a roughly 60 strong group, most of whom are ex/current military, and have firearms licensing for various types of firearms A, B, D and H, found here:

  • Christians, I think you're not actual Christians since you are nothing like crusaders?

    Smash the skull of a Muslim infidel, or do you poise yourself higher than that these days?

    Either way, you are not real Christians to me until you murder for your God.

  • Christians, are you open minded?

    Are you open minded enough to see the Islamic point of view on Jesus?

    Are you open minded enough to see the Buddhist point of view on the Dalai Lama?

    Open minded enough to see the cow as a holy figurehead?

  • Christians, considering the distance covered by Alexander the Great, against that of the Jews led by Yahweh...?

    Alexander led his men for 11 years and covered over 20 times the distance it took Yahweh to lead the Jews in 40 years, in the Exodus story.

    Why'd they cover so little ground?

    Personally, to me it seems that the Exodus story is false. More men doesn't mean faster transit, so the Jews, by numerical value, should have moved much faster, also considering that "God" was on their "side".

  • I'm gonna be a daddy to a baby girl in August.?

    How do ye Christians feel, that her mother and I shall raise her to be open minded, free thinking, and not have religion forced upon her? If anything, actively discourage religious ideology, showcasing the pain and suffering it has caused for 3000 or so years (Abrahamic).

    All you do is focus on gay marriage but it's likely your own will fail - AND GOD SAYS YOU MUST STAY IN THAT RELATIONSHIP SO WHY DON'T YOU? HMM?

  • Christians: you call me Slanderous for speaking against you, I call you slanderous for being historically...?

    Excruciatingly racist , sexist, and your idea that it's ok for God to annihilate the human race because he says "theys bad boyz und galzes!" says to me that you have deep problems, please seek help.

  • Do Christians feel they're repressed by gays even though Christians disallow them the human right to marry?

    The Human right to marry anyone who you should so please to do so because you love them regardless of their flaws, a thing called loving whoever you want.

    I bet you laugh at Ancient Greek Gods too huh? Look at them, on their mountain, throwing lightning!

    Now behold my God who is invisible and can see all and knows all yet is fallible!
