Stopped in the Elkins, WV WalMart on my last fishing trip for supplies (beer, ice, snacks, beer, fishing hooks, beer). Camoflauge was the uniform of the day, even the girls all had at least one item of camo....

I just love the family photos you see here in Iowa. Dad and his boys are all wearing camoflauge hats, some with #3 on them some with Budweiser.

Almost as bad as the family photos when everyone wears a blue demin shirt.

Oh, I call that "hunting". :D

Oh, no. They would get together and "patrol" and such. Most of them had all the right surplus gear....

Don't make me bust out the naked fursuit family.

The point of "patrolling" without anything to patrol for/against is lost on me. MilSim, I get. Miles, i get. Running around and shooting perfectly good bullets at imaginary bad guys? Not so much.

Actually, in an ideal world, you practice formation changes, land nav, and immediate action drills, even without a red force. However, these guys were more like a monty python skit with SKS's, mosin nagants and shotguns.

Mega looser points if one has a tactical Chevette or a Subaru Brat.

At least the Brat has seating for two rear gunners.

You're sure that wasn't me and the boys? Were they making killer bunny jokes?

Pretty much.

You guys are firstly, too close together. Secondly, sticking your rifles through the brush, you won't be able to effectively scan a sector or react to threats from the flank. Third....ah hell with it.

Pish, that's why he's wearing a stocking cap.

So why isn't anyone warming up their Army surplus MRE in a canteen cup?

Jocassee · « **Reply #41 on:** July 13, 2009, 05:07:06 PM »

Thought y'all would get a kick out of that...that was purely a Soviet-style photo op. No firing was going on. And no, I don't check any "what to do if SHTF" websites regularly, nor do the boys. We're just having fun.

Balog · « **Reply #42 on:** July 13, 2009, 05:07:25 PM »

Sorry commander, but putting that pic up on here is like posting your livejournal beastiality pics where Anonymous can get a hold of 'em. Well, maybe not that bad, but still....

We're having fun with you, too, if you hadn't figured it out yet.

Where's Harold Tuttle when we need him?

The second one is actually funny. First one....creepy....

I can't help it that I fulfill certain stereotypes.

A little music to go with the Commander's pic...

I think that it's probably one of the most recognizable movie themes made. It ain't Rocky or Terminator... but very distinctive on its own.

Can you get any of this for the mauser?
