Fire is the second most important need when in a survival situation, shelter being the first, and once obtained it can be used for many things including: boiling water to make it drinkable, hardening wood for spears, arrows, digging tools, firing pottery, keeping you warm, and the list goes on. <a title="how to make A BOW DRILL" href="http://darksurvival.com/" rel="nofollow">how to make A BOW DRILL</a><br />Jar Binkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361326138020046808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3690494149532987544.post-57135003018109935352014-05-01T00:36:52.032-07:002014-05-01T00:36:52.032-07:00I also have Remington 870 for home safety and also...I also have Remington 870 for home safety and also use it to do target shooting. It is not an easy task to operate it with having any training.

I also deploy #1 Buck as well, but didn't include that in my post. My decision to deploy 00 vs #4 Buck came down to two things:<br /><br />1. 00 Buck is .34 caliber, #4 is .24.....the pellet count varies with manufacturer. The 00 Buck I deploy has a pellet count of 9, which has a smaller spread at distance than #4. I run either an 18.5 or 20 inch - no choke barrel. So spread can equal stray pellets in an open space like my livingroom/diningroom/kitchen....which is all open.<br /><br />2. My familiarity with 00 Buck, I've shot LOTS of it, and I'm comfortable with it's performance. Also, I can walk into a Wal-Mart and pick up 00 Buck, which might not be the case with #4 through #1.<br /><br />I know those might not be terribly sound reasons for or against 00 Buck, but it's what I based my decision on. I'm no expert, I'm just a working class stiff with a family to feed and protect. <br /><br />Thank you for reading my rantings and taking the time to ask real questions.Survival In The Suburbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05695934528818714417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3690494149532987544.post-55582698651367232742012-01-09T07:52:28.458-08:002012-01-09T07:52:28.458-08:00I find no fault in your reasoning, but I would lik...I find no fault in your reasoning, but I would like to take you up on your testing. What do you think about #4 buck shot versus 00 Buck?<br /><br />The FBI recommends #4. Their reasoning is that the higher pellet count equates to more hits and causes a greater shock effect than the 00 hits. Multiple hits do induce more trama to the body, this is one of the reasons a shotgun is more effective than a handgun. The FBI believes the #4 buck offers the same penatration as the 00 buck. Most of my experience is with 00, I know it works well on feral dogs.<br /><br />What are your thoughts on #4 buck.<br /><br /><br />One other thought on shotguns, I use the 870 as my primary because that is what I learned on. Recently I purchased a Saiga 12 Ga. and 2-20 round drum magazines. My reasoning is this gives me the close in firepower of a 9mm submachine gun in a non-NFA firearm. I knew 20 rounds of 00 would be impressive, but even I was surprised.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
