I staked out local elevations, I know loose lips sink ships for civil defence purposes for emergency situations I geuss it doesn't matter much, for communications purposes as well I came across some useful items on the way, for some reason there is something up here prepping up forest fire potentials can't go into detail none the less I liberated some odd bricks that seemed to be there to act to increase the heat of the fire prepping area, not totally sure on it, it might look just like a dump but all the elements of a point of flame start and intense here were there, the cinderblocks, charcoal, prior burnt logs, old tinder wood chunks a metal backing. Now it could be used as an emergency fire but this is also fire season starting up, I've run across a handful of potential bush fire starting points, which can be used defensively to back blast counter wave a forest fire, but just leaving it out there seems like it is asking for trouble, its also in the area of a vandalized pipeline that has had some peculiar things around it. None the less it may just be coincidence but I liberated an alice pack full of foot long cinderblocks, which I am planning on useing to add some reinforcement to a support frame I'm making for a building here that i need to remove the cement block foundation on one wall for... I figure the cinder blocks can be used to gap fill for when I tear down the front wall and rebuild it, have lots of projects on it but Ive been collecting stones very haphazardly for uses only a few large ones but these blocks could also be useful especially for a small earth topped kiln.
None the less I'm trying to find good local and DX communication points so I've been testing some local points for reception. I hope to start testing for reception over sometime next month.
Also devised my water system for the summer.
digging in to gardening, and checking local plant growth
I have a few other things but nothing too notable.
Still waiting on my PAL to come through.. not overly optimistic I'll get it but I'd like it in time for my hike this summer probably late june or july it isn't anywhere near any emergency services so I am totally on my own up there while there are bears and moose, its the wolves I'm most concerned about as I can take a crossbow to defend against moose or bear but there may be too many wolves to take on with a 180lb crossbow I need to draw by hand. As I'd like to pick an SKS, M14 or shotgun up. SKS is most likely because it is only $75 and it will be great I think for defending against wolves which is my breaking point motivation for actually putting out the $60 to apply for my 5 year license. (of course the gun, 1000 rounds and some gun upkeep stuff will probably run me $400 or so, still this is good for the rounds plus the gun which 1000 rounds will probably last me a few years atleast) I still feel like I'm not going to get it. I have like 2 or 3 background checks running right now for different purposes atleast by various police organizations.
I'm weird and a loner. I was also charged with mischeif after applying..., ,charges pretty much immediately dropped on the ride to the station, for trying to stop the municipality from draining out my frontage which I wanted for water for gardening the noise also woke me up and they didn't even ask in advance or give notice, I also have a prohibition notice regarding trespass on all municipal staff (which I've expanded to all federal and provincial employees contractors and agents, obviously for non emergency or legally related purposes (it was a lot of water and I have no water hookup I use rain water or I can filter river or lake water and a few other sources). they showed up the day after to dig up my asphault driveway access to the road...
I'm probably the last person in this area they would want to give a gun but maybe I'm wrong... none the less heard gunfire today and ran across the ranges look for the year. more gun fire ... just now.. using semiautos probably more 30 cals. It makes me want to pick up ballistic steel or carbon plate and a carrier as I'm feeling like my cermanic vest and kevlar won't hold up much against the 30-06, 30-30 and like as the stuff is cutting through a freaken fridge front and back and continuing. It would probably clear my 3A steel pasgt helmet no prob maybe not none the less... doing things illegal you dont need to probably doesn't increase your survival chances, as the only thing worse than raiders and zombies is probably the government when there is no WROL or emergency situation on going trying to take you out. None the less I'll keep trying to figure ways to make primer and powder with local resources, as well as continue trying to get a very economical model for a sintering or 3d printer. I could probably make a gun in an emergency but I don't feel comfortable with being able to make ammo right now.. none the less I would only consider breaking gun laws up here in the event of governmental collapse and civil disorder or life and death situation the government could not adequettely respond to pro socio pro bono.
