I think my gun safe is one of the best investments I have made. It is large enough for a fairly good selection of firearms, it is bolted to the wall and floor so it won't be going anywhere without great effort (and a crane--the thing weights a ton!), and most importantly, it is a fire-proof, water-proof, kid-proof place to store all of my valuables. Here's what's in my gun safe:
- All handguns, rifles and shotguns
- Ammo. Not all of my ammo, just enough to tide me over in an emergency (the rest of my ammo is stored in various hidden locations around the house).
- Cash sealed in an air-tight food pouch (like my ammo, I have cash hidden all over as well)
- Important documents (wills, birth certificates, copies of licenses and passports, etc). These are also sealed in air-tight food pouch.
- Dri-Z-Air. To keep the guns from rusting
- Back-up computer files on a jump drive. This drive is updated monthly and also sealed in an air-tight food pouch.
- Some expensive jewelry and watches that I want to keep secured.

I do believe you are a smart person
ReplyDeleteMy reserve cash is seal vaccum bags from my food processor.inside a pvc pipe (also vaccummed) along with personal defense items and supplies for them in various locations away from the house (just in case of INCH. def: I'm not coming home.)...
I sincerely hope that you have taken care of those details. I know you have.

You are very correct about it being one of the best investment you can buy. I bought mine strictly with firearms in mind originally and never considered everything else I would eventually put in there.
ReplyDeleteNow I wish I had gone with a bigger one as I put anything and everything of value in it. Irreplaceable papers, family photographs, small easily portable valuables etc.
And having a safe location to store firearms, for some reason seems to be conducive to aquireing more for the collection for some reason. lol
Far more complicated than figuring our what to put in a safe is figuring which safe to buy. I research this every now and then, and stop when my eyes begin to glaze over. The overwhelming choices have actually prevented me from buying a safe, though I know that I need to do so. Any advice? Any brands that are known to particularly reliable and worth the extra expense?
ReplyDeleteI hesitate to recommend any specific item because what works for me may be totally different than what you are looking for. That said, for me, I wanted a reasonably priced gun safe that was fireproof, had a good warranty, and that was larger than I currently needed (I see myself adding more firearms in the future). A specific brand or having the highest-priced, what others would consider the "best" safe, was not important. Anyway, I ended up at Cabela's (with eyes glazed over...I love that store) and purchased a mid-priced, fire rated, 24 gun safe which suits my purposes just fine. Best of luck finding a safe. Hopefully you will do it soon--you never know when you will need it!

ReplyDeleteThese are the criteria and very good advice in choosing a good gun safe to use. If you call yourself a responsible gun owner it is your duty to keep your firearm and ammunition secured in a high quality gun safe. I'm impressed with your writing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking some time to write this post. Almost any SHTF scenario is impossible to imagine without thinking about the need for firearms, but as preppers are getting ready for the worst, many forget how important it is to secure your weapons and keep them out of reach, making your “treasure” accessible only to you.

ReplyDeleteI think the best first step for a beginner hunter would be to attend a hunter education course, sometimes known as a hunter safety course. For more information on this, check out introduction to hunting from the International Hunter Education Association (IHEA). This should help you understand more about hunting, hunters, and the wildlife we pursue.
