There’s a lot of noise in the preparedness world these days… hell, most days. You’ve got explosive round-table discussions arguing about size and power, muzzle velocity, hot rounds and penetrating kinetic energy. 45 over a 9 if you want stopping power. 308 instead of 5.56 cuz the 2.23, well it’s just too small… and never go on a scouting run without your 12 gauge.     

Big calibers. Tactical setups. Chest rigs that scream… Fallujah, here we come. Everybody is talking about stopping power like they’re planning for world war Z.

And why not talk about such things? I mean we’re not at war. There’s no real-world imminent threat taking place.. We’re not going hungry. Three squares a day. Warm bed at night. Go anywhere, do anything… It’s easy to sit back and talk shop when life is good.

But when SHTF happens, and cities go dark, pantries go dry, and your loved ones are looking to you to get fed…well, the loudest rifle in the room, may not be the smartest one.

Enter… the 22LR. The Garden Gun, Pea Shooter, Pop-Gun, Plinker, the Tick-Licker, yeah, or my personal favorite… the ol’ TooToo.

The .22 doesn’t look impressive. It doesn’t flex for you on Instagram. It won’t punch your shoulder, rattle your teeth, or cause your ears to ring when it’s fired from a gun. What it will do however, is put protein in your belly, it will feed you. Quietly. Efficiently. Consistently.

As Preppers, we all know that every round of ammo you carry has its place in your kit. And that holds true for the humble 22LR.

It’s tiny, unimpressive, and well, sort of cute. But it's also underestimated and often overlooked as an essential tool when the grid goes down.

The 22 rifle is a lightweight tool that’s easy to transport, in some cases can hold upwards of 100 rounds of ammo, it’s great for training new shooters without fear, and reliable enough to keep working long after the noise of the world fades.

Tonight, we’re talking about the rifle that most people underestimate… and why that mistake could cost them when the grid goes down for good.
