I’m going to tell you a true story, but to protect my friend’s privacy and OPSEC—as all good preppers should do—I’m going to remain as anonymous as possible. I’m telling you because I believe in helping people and I like to imagine a world after SHTF where we help each other rather than hinder each other, so here it goes… I recently had the opportunity to visit a friend’s bug-out property. What started out as a dream for land outside of the city for a nice get-away to keep animals and a shooting range turned into the perfect place to start a bug-out plan in motion.
1st Rule of Prep Club: You do not talk about Prep Club.
2nd Rule of Prep Club: You DO NOT talk about Prep Club.
3rd Rule of Prep Club: If someone says “SHTF”, do a shot.
4th Rule of Prep Club: No more than two people to a retreat; one must be a buxom blonde coed for repopulating the human race.
5th Rule of Prep Club: One BOL at a time.
6th Rule of Prep Club: No tie-dye shirts, no socks with sandals, no ponytails, no drum circles.
7th Rule of Prep Club: Prepping will go on as long as it has to.
8th Rule of Prep Club: If this is your first post to Prep Club, you HAVE to buy all other posters a shot.
>> used to order my prescription ahead of time so I’d have one bottle in reserve, but now, the pharmacies won’t allow that. What does one do?<<
A little a time. They usually allow you to order when yo still have a week or so to go. I keep 2 weeks at any given time (more for travel emergencies), but I am thinking about just continuing (and rotating of course) until I have a month of the most important ones (will take a few months).
He doesn't want any prepper threads on FR. (Bovine scatology to liberal broken stick).
Did I say he wants me dead and my brains eaten?
Did I forget to tell you he is sure I will be dead and my brains eaten before the first day of collapse is over?
Can I count on you to save my life and brains on the first day?
Nonsense aside, how is the bride because I'm concerned after you posted about her. I did pray out loud for the both of you and God listens to me because he knows I love you and the bride.
Someone posted something about buying extra from Canada. I see if I can find it.
Update on The Bride’s condition will follow shortly, watch for the ping.
I don’t post much but I read most of your threads and learn from them. I just ignore the background noise.
Thanks and keep them coming.

If you're going to play the victim card, at least try to do it honestly.
Listen carefully, mlizzy, we can fix this. I assume you have drug insurance. Get your doctor to write a prescription for three months, refillable three times. That is a year's worth.
Take it to WALGREENS (because I know they do that as they do it for me and everyone else). Walgreens will give you three months worth right then. Then, you get a refill when it's time, for three more months. You always get three months at a time.
If you register with Walgreens on line, you can check to have each prescription automatically refilled when it is time and that time is always before the med runs out. That way you don't forget to refill it as soon as possible - they do it automatically.
It may be you can get that service with CVS or other drug stores, but I only know for sure about Walgreens.
Now, here is another way to get more pills at one time. It is your insurance that won't allow for more than three months at a time - it is not the drugstore. If you don't use your insurance, you can buy a whole year's worth if you want but will have to pay the entire cost as you won't be using insurance. If you are blessed with plenty of money, buy a whole year's worth and pay for it yourself.
I hope you get this worked out, Marcella
Interesting. I do not have any prescription coverage, but I can surely ask my doctor next time to write a prescription for three months and pay for that. That didn’t even cross my mind. Thank you!!
Who's the one posting giant pics of fishtanks full of human heads? Who has pals that post epic length fantasies about how non-prepper "cretins" will die?
Pretty sure that's you, Kartographer.
My being dead is dead no matter who you use to kill me, I'm still dead, you Liberal Bovine Scatology Broken Stick.
I think it exceedingly likely that Zero will precipitate SOME kind of catastrophe before the end of his term, which means within four years, so he can declare a national emergency, confiscate guns, and remain in power. Sorry, don't trust that man.
Okay, so let’s look at this for a second. You’re offended by my zombie reference but won’t acknowledge that there might be something offensive to non-preppers in blam’s article. How do you keep both of those in your head at the same time?
Ask the doctor for three months, refillable three times. That is a year’s worth so you don’t have to call the doctor again for a prescription for a whole year. The drug store will give you three months and keep giving you three months for a year. Or, as I said, get a whole year’s worth at one time if you have that much money.
As a sane person, I don't trust the drug-addled occupant of our White House either. However, I'm hopeful that he is both too lazy and too inept to bring the country down as efficiently as he would like to. I think we are more likely than not to survive these eight terrible years. The challenge will be to repeal all of the Obama legislation, starting with ObamaCare, before those actions complete the intended and irreversible damage.

I read upthread your jugs are worth saving... ;)
Blam didn't write that article, someone else did, he just posted it. In that article, sorrow is expressed for those who don't prep in case there is a collapse of the country or other extended emergency and preppers are asked to help those who don't prep. as much as they can The article merely lists the problems those who don't prep, would have if such an emergency happened.
If you have a problem with that article, go to the website it came from and speak to the person who wrote it.
Yes, of course blam just posted it. That’s beside the point.
Your reading of the article is completely naive. He starts off mentioning how he’s been ridiculed by non-prepper “cretins”, then spends the rest of the piece fantasizing about how non-preppers will die. It ain’t exactly hard to see what’s on his mind.
And yes, you guys are accountable for what you post on FR. You can’t just pass the buck like that.
