If you had to guess how much ammo you have on hand right now, which I am figuring you believe is ALMOST enough because that is what you currently have on hand in case the SHTF - well how much ammo would that be?
A Poll: How Much Ammo Is Almost Enough?

This is a tough one. I don't think I could even tell you how much.
I'm guessing at right around 3,000 rounds of just 223. I don't even really care for that gun much.
About 1,000 rounds of 30 cal carbine. My son has that rifle at college now.
22 LR -- who knows - ALOT.
600-700 rounds of light trap loads for 12 gauge.
Just put me down for Alot but not enough.

Might be interesting to see more of a breakout - MBR, defensive pistol, shotgun, etc.
I know if .22LR weren't a factor, I'd be in a lower category.

I have a WWII footlocker that is crammed full of ammo of a few different calibers: .45 ACP, .40 S&W, 9mm, .38 Spl., .357 magnum, .380, .32 Auto, .22LR, .22 WMR, 7.62x54R, 7.62x39, .223, .35 Remington. There is also a few .50 caliber ammo cans around that are full of 9mm ammo. It is a bunch, but I have not counted lately - yet well over 5,000 maybe close to 10,000. I cannot wait till I empty out that foot locker, to see the impression it made into the carpet on which it sits.

RIKA.
yes I try to practice them. mater of fact I made a lean-to after school today to see it the reminets of hurricane Ivan would tear it down. so far it hasn’t. I also practice primitive archery, cooking, brain tanning and fire starting. O yeh and tracking. I hope to be efficient enough in the wood so that I found myself in the wood with out a gun or knife or other essential gear that I could survive. I try to listen to a lot of the "old timers" talking about woods skills, (some of it is tall tails other is valuable)
I try to be prepared to survive under less that favorable conditions.
Im think of a old saying something along the lines of
"the best plans are for nothing if a angle pissis in yer powder horn. " :unhappy:
well that’s all I got to say for now.
peace :madeuce:

I believe I have reached the point of diminishing returns with my stock of ammo. That is the point whereby it is MUCH easier to just buy a new case of ammo rather than try to dig into the pile of ammo cans to find that caliber you want to shoot next weekend. Have you ever moved around a bunch of .50 ammo cans filled with .45ACP or .50BMG projectiles? I am certain I have an ammo can filled with .44 Special somewhere, but if it is in the back bottom row of ammo cans, the price of more ammo would be well worth avoiding the risk of rupturing a disk in my back trying to get to that ammo can.
