This link discusses fears that global warming could lead to further spread of ever more dangerous pathogens with mosquitoes as a vector. Anyone following this?

Not particularly. All I mean is, it seems like a few extra ounces that you wouldn’t likely need. I used to have more food than was worth packing around

Overcaffeinated, Sounds like you have good habits, but you should be *able* to abuse your weapon even if it’s a bad thing. Did you buy used? How are your springs?

This is a clever question. I’d personally say that a disaster so cruel (and long-term) that you would need to maintain your weapon would be one where you’d rather bug in. Those things would already be at your residence. Cleaning and parts replacement happen only after you’ve emptied a bunch of mags at a bad guy, dinner, or a paper target. Look at it this way: How many mags can you really bug out with?

What does it say, in lay terms, about the East Coast?

Thank you. Is it cost-efficient even now, with inflation?

Whether the sign has the force of law depends on the jurisdiction. In Nevada, for example, these signs have no force of law, but a property owner has the right to declare you a trespasser if you get caught carrying without permission. In that case, if you don’t comply with a request to leave, you’re committing trespass *and* doing so while armed with a deadly weapon. I’d check local laws.

Would you consider getting an extra Baofeng if this, or an event like it, led to sanctions?

A near-peer foreign power publicly admitting to penetrating our airspace has no implication for emergency preparedness? Tell that to Japan or Taiwan, our dependents for whom China is an apocalyptic threat.

Good idea. Braziers used to be used the same way in traditional houses.
