We're all gonna die!

Apparently Alex Jones believes him.

MRE’s are ok but sooner or later you have to eat them. They are very expensive per calorie. If you have limited storage space they are a good alternative. A steady diet gets old. Been there done that more than once. nw_arizona_granny has a very long thread running on FR about this and other survival subjects. Check it out.

Does not matter. In this time line Skynet goes on line April 19, 2010. It becomes self aware on April 21, 2010 - Judgment Day.

Is it true that you can cut a fruit cake in half and count the rings to tell how old it is?

[Sudetenland]

Crack meet pot. I wish I had a dollar for every doom & gloomer who predicted the "End of Civilization" or some variation thereof.

Weren't any of you guys around during the "Survivalist" movement of the 1970's...remember the name Howard Ruff? How many of you invested your life savings in non-perishable foods, gold and hideaways so that you were prepared for the great collapse of the 70's?

I remember trapsing around in the streets with my trusty .45 strapped to my side and my Mini-14 with its 30 round banana clips searching for food for my family. We depleted our stash of freeze-dried food, beans and rice in the first 6 months...after that it was dog eat dog. Let me tell you that was some other kind of economic meltdown...oh wait...I forgot...IT NEVER HAPPENED!!!!

PT Barnum was right; There is a sucker born every minute.

My husband and I have been chopping firewood for, I swear 16 months straight, stocking our wood pile. We have a load of camping gear (pots, pans and the like) to use over our fireplace if need be.

Also have a reliable generator that’s tested had it mettle tested a few times.

Everytime we have a family member ask us what do we want for Christmas, we say ammo. Don’t even bother will menial gifts.

Hubby got 3 doe over the weekend. Getting those processed and leaving them in the freezer.

A country boy (or girl) can survive.

> We have takers and makers in America. Right now the takers (liberals) are reaching the 50% range. Any way you slice it, it spells some form of disaster. The takers need to suffer at this point to get the message. There’s no convincing them that they have to be productive to survive unless they see it for themselves.

It does not look to me that liberals are at 50%. Yes, the last three elections support this number. But, if you consider the situation each time:

2000: Peace, good economy, general well being - the fact that Democrats lost is close to a miracle.

2004: In the midst of a very unpopular war

2008: At the end of a very unpopular war, extremely unpopular President and a Republican contender who, in many ways, is indistinguishable from his Democratic opponent. Plus an excitement of having a Black President.

And each time, Democrats managed to get only 50% +/- a few points.

Now consider a possible situation in 2012 (perhaps event 2010) assuming President Obama performs according to expectations: higher taxes and tariffs will keep the economy poor, multiple depressing speeches from President and Congressional leadership (e.g., Jimmy Carter), corruption, etc. And, very importantly, we have to hope that Republicans would have learned their lesson about the usefulness of nominating Democrats-light.

Great Rant!!!
I agree 100%

The Orientals I've known would replace the bullion/spice package that comes with the Ramen Noodles with the packaged bullion I mentioned.

One thing I used to do with the Ramen Noodles is buy bell pepper, green onions, onions, carrots, frozen peas; I'd slice them, mostly into long skinny strips and freeze them along with any left over steak, check or other meat and use it in the noodles...

Crack meet pot

When the big snow storm hit a few years back, The Meow Family sat in front of the TV, watching everyone panic and run to the store for supplies. We didn't have to - we were prepared.

When hurricane Isabel hit in 03, The Meow Family pulled out their hurricane preparation supplies, made the rounds of the homestead, making sure everything was secure, and watched the stupid people panic on TV.

When the DC Snipers were doing their thing, The Meow Family had no worries - we didn't need to go out since we were prepared.

On Sept 12, 2001, The Meow Family added "terrorism" to their preparation list. Now we are prepared for that.

Disaster doesn't have to be a nuclear blast or zombie invasion. It can be a local crime spree, a storm or a personal tragedy, a family death or serious accident.

Only a fool would not prepare their family for disaster.

[Sudetenland]

Try Ike. No power for 20 days. We survived and we hardly consumed any of our non-perishables. Many stores were open within 48 hours...including fast food restaurants.

Certainly it behooves you to be prepared for very short term disruptions; every year, prior to hurricane season, we buy batteries for our lanterns and radios and a few cans of Spam (which I happen to like), but when people begin warning of the "great meltdown," I can only laugh.

I survived the great "duck and cover" nuclear war scare in the 60's-that never happened, I survived the great collapse of the 70's that never happened, I survived Y2K scare-that never happened, and I will survive this and every other predicted chimerical collapse.

This guy is just the latest in a long line of doom & gloomers...he won't be the last.

[meowmeow]

If I grow old and die and "IT" never happens, then I've lived a good life, giving my family peace of mind, and have a great piece of mountain property to enjoy my retirement on.

If "IT" does happen, well, have fun with the government. We won't be needing them.

[bethelgrad]

I can see your point, if only in this world we have hope.

"A country boy (or girl) can survive."

Texans can live on deer & feral hog...abundance of each.

The Fair Tax would be a great improvement but most politicians hate it because it takes away a lot of their ability to do social engineering and to pass out tax breaks to their pals.

"Right now I have a crock of sauerkraut working. We started making it again this year when our youngest son discovered it is an actual food and tastes good baked with pork."

Believe It or Not: Sauerkraut Named One of the Hottest Foods of 2006

"He also said that the dollar would eventually be devalued by as much as 90 per cent. "

Ping.

I work out about 5 days (45-60 minutes cardio plus light weight training 3-4 days a week) so I'm nowhere near needing the amount of calories a powerlifter needs. I just want to maintain muscle tone. But you do need to keep the extra calories/fuel your body needs if you are more active. I'm stocking up on the same things Eagle was mentioning for emergency survival needs as well as keeping plenty of oatmeal, peanut butter, dried and canned beans, canned tuna and chicken, whole grain crackers, corn bread mix, large bags of rice and don't forget evaporated milk and Canola and Olive oil for fats (our bodies and brains need fats to survive on). It might not be a bad idea to stock up on a couple extra bags of some type of protein or whey shake mix (large bags at Costco) that are ready meals when mixed with water. And keep an extra bottle of multivitamins on hand.
