Minicast Episode 13: Bug out Weapons




The Great Northern Prepper » Podcast show

Summary: Today’s Episode are my thoughts on Bug out weapons and what I carry personally. With Modern Weapons, most are roughly the same in function, differences in performance vary, but basics are the same Bug out weapons can vary depending on the situation I prefer to have a light and portable set up for the vehicle and a more robust option for the Bug out from the Home The KelTec Sub 2000 and the Glock 17 are perfect as light portable option You don’t need to have something to assault a fortified position, If you need to use a weapon, you will need to use it so you can get away from where you are as fast as you can. Now I didn’t elaborate on this in the episode itself, but I know that  Hi-point and a Kimber pistol have MANY differences, so many that they cant be covered in the amount of time i have to write this!  But what i mean by being relatively the same is that you don’t have to worry much from any manufacturer (do your homework), that the gun wont go “bang” when you want it to.  In this way the consumer both with a big and a small budget can still get the relative same effect from their purchase.  Now I would prefer a Kimber Warrior or my Sig Match Grade .45 to a Hi point any day given the choice, however if faced with an attacker in close proximity, I would feel confidant using the Hi-point, etc. I also understand that some of you would not be enthused having a 9mm or even a .40 carbine as a bug out weapon.  If given a choice and all the options in the world I would want my tricked out M4, I would choose that over the Keltec 99% of the time, however I don’t get to choose, and also if given a choice I would choose not to be in that situation in the first place.  For a full out Mad max Patriots the coming collapse scenario, i would want my M4, but in a Hurricane Sandy or Katrina situation, I believe I would choose my KelTec in a Satchel or case and a Pistol on my side, so that i was more concealed and less suspicious.
