This is why I want to get a XCR-M. This guy gives the best breakdowns in the business.

Essentially the XCR-M stomps the SCARs ass in everything except recoil.

Another obvious contender in the all-purpose battle rifle class.

Quick Urban Hide Kit

-Rope ladder and pole
-Black mesh/screen
-Staple gun
-Gorilla tape
-Water filter
-Small sledge
-Small(ish) prybar
-Lockpicks
-Bolt-cutters
-Door wedges
-3 black sheets
-3 white sheets
-Fishing line

Another thing to have is an early warning system. Some fishing line and a bell attached to the main door or across the stairwell/hallway of approach.

Something else I've seen done is fishing line attached to the door, ran all the way to the room your going to be doing recon from, attached to a chem-light and covered with a hoodie or piece of cardboard. Basically when the door opens, the chemlight runs out from under cover and lights up the room for whoever is awake pulling security under NODS.

There are plenty of ways to skin a cat as far as an early warning system. In SHTF I would opt for something like a 12 Gauge Perimeter Trip alarm loaded up with a flashbang round or rock salt. Something like that.

Should I do a thread on how to camouflage your weapons systems?

Might do something on tying up a ghillie hood too.

This YouTuber has his own stash of PDFs that would be a good addition to the ones I uploaded.

Honestly I would start by running as much as I can on a huge propane tank and then have back ups that run on firewood like above.

Solar is always a good option for summer too, obviously.
