1. It’s just like camping.
2. You can buy enough food and supplies for forever.
3. Your neighbors will gather around and help each other.
4. If I buy enough gadgets (mini washing machine, generator, solar tracker) I’ll be OK
5. I can get to my survival location when TSHTF.
6. I can convince my “significant other” that this is the right move.
7. I don’t need to prepare a place. I’ll just grab my Bug-Out-Bag and find a cave somewhere.
8. My kids will be bored.

If you do, I suggest that you begin at the headwaters in Equador, and be prepared to be quickly discouraged; and this is the easiest reach of the river.
BTW, you won’t be able to wear any cotton after the first week; it all will have rotted out or become insect infested.
“But Please don’t throw me into the crawdad patch!” :o)
Have you ever had Lagostino at a restaurant?
They’re just fully grown crawdads.
Lol!
Little tricks like catchin crawdads will be what separates those who survive from those who don’t.
Survivors will tend to be highly intelligent, resourceful individuals! Able to do hard work!
Just get used to the idea that I’m a Taurus and am STUBBORN AS A BULL, in other words DO IT MY WAY or don’t do it at all!
;-)
Get a COSTCO or Sam’s Club membership. Both companies have bulk foods at extremely low prices.
I'm not arguing with you at all. That would violate my rule about arguing with 1) drunks (which you're not) 2) true believers in the palpably untrue (which you are). You're welcome to your delusional belief that for the treatment of heart attack and stroke, interventional cardial is proven folley and that hot pepper juice under the tongue is tried and true - that's beyond insane. Let's hope you don't convice anyone else to skip the the stents, the streptokinse, and the bypass surgery in favor of hot sauce. Do you even know the chain of events that causes a myocardial infarction? I doubt it. OH and BTW I've wasted enough time on you. have a great day.
I read the book World War Z, which is about a zombie plague. Interesting book in its own right, but there’s a part that alludes to what you’re saying.
One person is telling the story of how she and her family went north during the worst part, to ‘live off the land’ towards Canada. It starts off fun, like a neat camping trip, but soon turns bad as more and more people have the same idea. Soon, the woods are depleted of game animals, and trees are leveled for wood. Then starvation and desperation set in, and things get gruesome.
She survives, and afterwards is leading a reporter through where they lived, and points to a child’s Spongebob sleeping bag below the ice and comments, “What were these people thinking, they could survive a northern winter with no preparations. What was this sleeping bag cold-rated to? A heated living-room sleepover?”
I’ve had people tell me they’ll just ‘bug out’ and live off the land. Right. What happens when 50,000 other people in the immediate area also do the same? It’ll be far worse than if you’d just stayed home and defended what you had.
How is that different from iodine i get at the drug store?
My reading comprehension was severely diminished by not finishing high skrewel.
Thanks for posting it. I got excited as i fantasised the challange.
I’ve seen military contracts in the mid 1980s specifying “ruggedized” computers and equipment that had special shielding.
>>It’ll be far worse than if you’d just stayed home and defended what you had.<<
If the citizens of just one State were to march Washington DC there wouldn’t be any talk about being afraid for tomorrow. If the citizens of one city marched on their own city hall, the elected officials would do one of two things. Resign or make a determined effort to fix things ASAP so the people didn’t march again.
A few cops and some tear gas is nothing to be afraid of. Give them fair warning, gas us and we’ll attack you enmasse and we won’t stop until you are crushed. Listen to us and you’ll have 30 days to rectify the problem.
Irony, they also have a fashion supply clothing area, carry the latest the Carharts, boots and nightgowns...to us country folks its just normal shopping, one stop shopping is really one stop shopping along with any size screw or nut you want, and if I were you, I’d leave that last remark alone...GG :O)
that LOL came out of the blue....
Re your post 71, sorry, you’re right, I missed the point entirely. Think before you post, I suppose is the lesson for the OP here.
Haven’t had Lagostino; shellfish, in fact, gives me headaches if I eat much of it - the theobromine in it causes it I reckon. - I doubt the marauders will steal the large cans of provisions; too much trouble to fix it, too much work if it’s not frozen pizza you can get with food stamps.
LOL No biggie. :o)
I do dat, toooo...
Everything I believe WRT healing is solidly proven by thousands of really saved lives, not the kind that the Med Mafia touts.
Too bad your arrogance shields you from glorious reality.
I will continue to convince many to skip the medical disasters that you embrace so ignorantly.
You will enjoy Obamacare; it’s designed for the willfully ignorant.
my friends ar eformer NSA types
ECM
ECCM types
I cant say more
You really don't get it. This is a thread about SURVIVALISTS, and you're talking about a store with all sorts of products produced by civilization. THAT'S the irony.
I love unintentional irony and you just keep on giving. You're either delusional to the point of mild psychosis or you're jerking me around. Either way you're boring as hell. Go hump someone else's leg.
