Is Recession Preparing a New Breed of Survivalist? [Survival Today - an On going Thread #2]

May 05th,2008

[nw_arizona_granny]

Yahoo ran an interesting article this morning indicating a rise in the number of survivalist communities cropping up around the country. I have been wondering myself how much of the recent energy crisis is causing people to do things like stockpile food and water, grow their own vegetables, etc. Could it be that there are many people out there stockpiling and their increased buying has caused food prices to increase? It’s an interesting theory, but I believe increased food prices have more to do with rising fuel prices as cost-to-market costs have increased and grocers are simply passing those increases along to the consumer. A recent stroll through the camping section of Wal-Mart did give me pause - what kinds of things are prudent to have on hand in the event of a worldwide shortage of food and/or fuel? Survivalist in Training

I’ve been interested in survival stories since I was a kid, which is funny considering I grew up in a city. Maybe that’s why the idea of living off the land appealed to me. My grandfather and I frequently took camping trips along the Blue Ridge Parkway and around the Smoky Mountains. Looking back, some of the best times we had were when we stayed at campgrounds without electricity hookups, because it forced us to use what we had to get by. My grandfather was well-prepared with a camp stove and lanterns (which ran off propane), and when the sun went to bed we usually did along with it. We played cards for entertainment, and in the absence of televisions, games, etc. we shared many great conversations. Survivalist in the Neighborhood

Everyone order some food to store! From Waltons, right granny? ;)<<<

A wise choice.

LOL

As well as the listed medical benefits, spices were originally used to preserve foods (usually meats). Therefore, the spiciest foods come from the hottest areas, where food preservation has been the trickiest to accomplish.<<<

Back in the 1950/60 era, Rodale was investigating and found that the countries that ate the most hot peppers, had the least stomach cancer...........

Bill had the use of only one lung, for he was shot through one in WW2 and it was full of scar tissue.

A common cold would almost kill him and when we moved to Wellton, a local Indian man told him to eat Jalapeno peppers every day and he would not have colds.

So he did, I went to Mexico and bought the pickled Jalapeno peppers in gallon cans, they were always first on the table and in the lunch box..........and he stopped having the colds.

They are the highest vit C of all the foods.

BREADS<<<

Good list of simple breads, all doable on the campfire or with the basic supplies, several look good.

I loved fried cornbread on the campfire, fry it in the bacon grease.

>>>Yes, I spent many a fun time at Jackson’s Mill, a lifetime ago. ;) When were you there? <<<

A lifetime ago too... I would have been there between ‘54 and ‘59.

You are sure right about the cooks... Great food. Beautiful Area, Great people, I have nothing but the fondest memories of Jackson’s Mill!

[hiredhand]

Oh yes! We've found that most people who heat with wood share a profound philosophy. They understand a lot about putting steady work into something....so that we can benefit later! I know this sounds a bit odd to most people, but the thermostat on the wall represents something potentially evil to me....like easy credit and the promise of the American Dream....not necessarily bad by itself, but definitely taking advantage of predictable human nature in a bad way.

Welcome back. It sounds wonderful to get away. I’ll be joining you in catching up.

My dad passed away last Saturday at home with my mom, my sister, and me there with him. Stayed with Mom all last week and am now home with my family, ready to catch up with life.

Prayers for you and yours.

When lukewarm add one Magic yeast cake ...

Sounds like something from the 60's, doesn't it?

[CottonBall]

As I look around today, that is the overbearing feeling I get.

I'm with you on that. A group of friends in the mountains was discussing the stock market. A poor lady who is 65 was saying that without investing (and the gains), she won't be able to afford to live there any longer. So she's getting back in. I kept thinking of all the sectors that the government is now controlling - financial, automotive, soon-to-be health care, .... and thought there's no way I'm getting back in now! Maybe if people vote smart in 2010...

Sorry you had to come back... I know you loved it there!

Thanks - you know me so well! But I've come up with a devious plan that will allow me to stay there for several months at a time after my son heads off to the Air Force. We've been looking at houses on acreage and was planning on selling our current home after buying another. But since we're not comfortable with the market and how much our current home will get is only a guess - I suggested that the cats and I move to the cabin while we try to sell this home after our son leaves. That way, we don't have to worry about people letting the cats out, about fur all over everything, and the general hassle of leaving/keeping the house perfectly neat for showing. Hubby pretty much keeps it nice the few hours he's home at night. Pretty diabolical, aren't I? ;)

[CottonBall]

I’m so so sorry for your loss. :(

But it is nice that your dad had a loving family around him. And that your mom has had you around to help her through the first tough week.

[CottonBall]

Awesome! Thanks, Eagle. Downloaded, unzipped, and saved in my survival folders. Although.....when TSHTF, I’ll probably need a hard copy!

I searched in my survival folders for the first thread, which TAC, I believe, had generously made available in the same manner. And I can’t find it! I KNOW I saved it ... somewhere....

If anyone remembers how to get it again, please let me know. I feel a deep loss in not being able to find it on my computer. ;(

[CottonBall]

Glad to see your post. Have been wondering about you and hoped you weren’t sick.

Thanks ucm. That's very sweet.

Can’t say I’m glad you’re back as I’m sure you wish you were still up in the mountains. (I know I would.)

Well, you're right there. ;) But, it is nice to be back home with the nonfurry family members. And a fast internet connection! I guess at the point in time, I am hooked on getting my news online and getting away too long makes what this administration is trying too scary.

[nw_arizona_granny]

An Awesome list of cookbooks, thanks for posting it.

Does one close their eyes and choose one?

Yes, I am going to copy it right now....

LOL, it is easy to copy from the bottom of this post, easier than stealing it from the middle of the thread.....

[nw_arizona_granny]

Welcome back.

My prayers for your family and the loss of your father.

Sending a big hug.

It will be interesting to see how many do download it.

thanks for the link and for thinking of me, I’ve been thinking about you too...wondering how you were. I glanced throught the pussy-cat story, reminded me so much of the beautiful little Russian Blue female I lost recently, she died and we never found out why. I miss her terribly.

[Marmolade]

Thanks for your prayers and well wishes. ((hugs to you all))
