Yes, that stuff is very important Mom, now me and the boys gotta push back some traveling renegades that want to pillage our stores and goods. With our gun. And because we have so many really good guns, we will win. Store arms is essential dooms day prepping
After a few years the guns will be useless and without resources. Long term survival does not revolve around stock piling unsustainable weapons or once-off use food supplies.
The point isn’t to sustainably be able to make ammunition for the next 10 generations. It’s to be able to hunt and protect my farm from predators and bandits. If shit ever really hits the fan having a bunker full of beans isn’t going to save you. But knowing how to live off the land and having the means to do so may very well be the difference between life and starving to death. If all of the sudden tomorrow the supermarket did not have food what would you do? Try to go to TikTok and find survival lifehacks? Me personally I would go out to my chicken coop and gather some eggs. Then make my way to the garden to pick some vegetables (if it’s winter, I should have canned vegetables). After that I would probably go milk my goats (I don’t have goats yet, hopefully next year though lol.) finally I would probably make a loop around the area to check on my neighbors and see if they need anything, maybe trade them some eggs, while also looking for game to hunt.
Not everyone who does this type of shit is some whiny bunker baby who’s waiting to live out their mad max fantasy. I’m not a doomsday prepper, I’m a homesteader.

Lol I own guns that are older than your grandpa. I also reload my own ammo. None of this stuff has a shelf life.
Oh, that’s really cool. So how do you get the minerals for the explosives and the raw metal for the bullets?
By robbing other people’s bunkers obviously /s.

So you’re very much not the stockpiling only guns and beans type of person, so why are you feeling so called out?
Go read a book about it.
Now that knowledge is so accessible… blah blah blah
Damn an experienced blacksmith, miner, surveyor, metallurgist, chemist, fabricator, and more all in one?
God bless you, brother
