We are going to talk more about the AR15 and setting it up to be a more efficient Survival Rifle platform. We are also going to discuss other modern sporting rifles and how they can be converted into a more “Survival-Minded” platform. There are many parts we can upgrade, polish, and change completely that will make certain platforms more ideal for the given purpose.

After a deep wilderness excursion, I have a lot to reflect on and a lot to consider. There are skills that deserve more of my attention and others that I feel like I have gotten sewn into my being. Trips into the wilderness are crucial to getting a real read about what you think you are capable of. In fact, these trips are priceless to those of us who have a real desire to improve. You might assume that you have reached a level of proficiency but if you are not tested you just cannot prove efficiency. 
Last week we talked about what items to stock up on when getting ready for a ban, but we didn’t cover everything we wanted to. So this week we are going to go a bit deeper and talk about a few more items to stock up on before any kind of ban, and maybe some items you haven’t though of yet. We are also going to go into caches a bit more, describe some different types and sizes of caches, and tie it into ban stockpiling. 
This week, On the Gunmetal Armory, we get into the Survival Cache category. This is a subject that was suggested to us by our listeners. Granted, its been covered by other folks, but not us. So we’re going to tackled the subject of Survival Caches, Gunmetal Armory style! We are going to get into what you should put into your caches, different types of caches, “practice” packing and placement, building or buying the outer case, covering or other means of concealment. 
As survivalists and preppers its pretty common that we get asked or ask ourselves the question of what 5 things or what 10 things would you bring into the wilderness or whatever scenario. While there are some prepping items that must be part of the equation in a collapse scenario I want to discuss something that many preppers are not considering at all. You know, fear is a huge predicator when it comes to what a prepper does. That’s ok. I think that’s pretty smart this day and age. 
This week we are starting a 3 part series on mass shootings. The first week is going to be an in depth discussion about guns. We know the role that they play in these disasters but what do we really know about what happens if we take them away? Will it really bring an end to these heinous acts? Its hard to believe that anything will bring an end to this type of evil except a massive change in society itself.

This episode of the Gunmetal Armory, were going to talk weaponized steel, larger and smaller edged tools, and more. There is a lot that goes into choosing which knife or knives that you’re going to carry in your BOB. There are also multiple considerations to unpack with regards to blade designs, blade grinds, steel types, sheath type, sheath materials, size, handle type, handle materials, and so on. Then, you need to look into Axes, Tomahawks, Hatchets, or something similar for ease of shelter making and many other chores. All of the considerations for the Knives must also be applied to axes, multi-tools, machetes, shovels, and so much more. 
You have just bought your favorite Bug out Bag (BOB). We have even decided what to have in the BOB. The next thing is organizing it. Your main aim in organizing the bag is to improve accessibility, mobility, and weight. These three simple fundamentals can prove extremely difficult to achieve. The number one reason for such failure is the seemingly limitless types of gear to be included in the pack.
