Alaska Survival: The .375 H&H Magnum Review
For most survivalist living down in the Lower-48 States, the threats faced when things go south are completely different than what we Alaskan’s face—almost on a daily basis.
Alaska is surrounded on three sides by oceans. We have more active and dormant volcanoes than any place on the face of the globe, and our state gets rocked with 5,000 earthquakes every month.
The primary threats that we face are due largely to the antiquated transportation system that we rely upon for all of our food and critical supplies such as fuel, vegetables, and other consumer commodities.
The railroad hauls a lot of stuff into our cities, followed closely by the various airlines that fly in priority shipments. Sadly though; most of what we have, is brought in by marine barge service. These barges are oftentimes delayed because of bad weather. Whenever that happens, the prices seem to go up a little, and our transportation and distribution network comes to a near standstill until the barges finally make it into port. Maybe that’s why Alaskan's are paying about 60% more for things, as opposed to people living down in America.
Alaska has seen it’s share of natural disasters; but I think that the new generation has completely forgotten the little fact that Mother Nature can wreck our lives quicker than a flashbulb going off. Everyday I see young couples shopping for their evening meal with no through given to next week, or the consequences of how their lives would be affected if something BIG were to happen while they slept.
The one good thing about surviving in this Great State, is the simple fact that there aren’t that many people living up here. Most big states down in the States have more people living in them, than the population of Alaska has altogether. That’s a definite bonus when the zombie-apocalypse occurs…
With the current trend of survival firearms becoming more militaristic in nature ; the fact remains that an assault rifle just doesn’t work up here. The caliber is too small to stop large predators, and to ineffective to be useful for hunting our game.
Most of us carry and use heavy caliber rifles and handguns, for both self-protection, and hunting. That doesn’t mean that the assault rifles aren’t present, just that they aren’t the primary weapons that the average Alaskan survivalists considers worthwhile.
