Quark:"Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. They’re a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people... will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don’t believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes."
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Siege of AR-558 (#7.8)” (1998)

Preppers’ PING!

Hmm, "Dark Times",,,,,

Sounds racist to me, say Maxine Waters.

Around here, 30 minutes into a power outage, you can hear 5 or 6 gensets running. Those without power hang out with those with power until power gets restored.

Parties seem to form spontaneously, if there isn't a downpour and high winds.

Protocol is for those without gensets to provide adult beverages.

Maybe more blackouts are the solution. I know someone who said give them guns and drugs and they start shooting one another. Sad, but predictable.

I’m kind of surprized no night vision goggles or binocs on his list. They can be had for under $300. Something on my list to buy soon.

How Horrific Will It Be For The Non-Prepper?

I’d sure like to see a town identified here.

Anybody in the Houston area who wants to order long term storage food with me from www.waltonfeed.com?

I order a pallet about once a year now. You can get natural, non-GMO grains, beans, etc. as well as excellent Idaho honey. With a grain mill and a few buckets of grain you will have the calories to last through months of shortages.

Some of their grains and such are packaged to last many decades if you keep them indoors.

I have a forklift and place to ship them. We all save on shipping by buying in bulk.

Seems like a fine way to assemble a group of Freeper preppers.

This story sounds too convenient...when, where and in what town did this occur? A search through news could not locate the source of this tale.

I learned alot reading through all the prep comments...particularly about eggs and hashbrowns :)

Thank you all for sharing the knowledge!!!

The power stayed out for a mere hour and a half, but that was all it took to cause chaos all throughout the city. In this hour and a half multiple shootings occurred, multiple wrecks occurred on the highways and city streets, and multiple stores and businesses were broken into and looted due to security systems malfunctioning. All within that small hour and a half. It really shows how fragile the order in our cities hangs in the balance
