“If you think you are going to teach yourself gardening in one year, good luck with that. You don’t learn gardening out of a survival guide. You learn it on your property, in your climate after years and years of doing gardening.”

That is true. I’ve limped along this summer learning and screwing up.

Who needs gardening when there are millions of worthless welfare brats to steal our stuff back from?

but yea...it would help to practice more.

[JRandomFreeper]

Law or no law, stealing is wrong.

You aren't going to steal food from folks that are too dumb/ignorant to have some in the first place, or too dumb/ignorant to grow their own.

>> Squirrels are a getting a little scarce around here, though.

Switch to rabbit. Tastes better, more tender, easier to clean too.

Your life is truly blessed to be able to have those things. I am very much stuck in the rat race trying to meet family obligations in my prime earning years. Someday, I would like to live on some good acreage and live more self-sufficiently. But for now, I live in this apartment in suburban hell working just to pay off family debt and ensure my kids finish college. Good luck to you. You sound like you have a very positive outlook and will do well in the future.

Not to rain on anybody's parade here but this isn't going to look anything like little house on the prairie. The Democrat/Rhino base is going to be swarming the countryside looking for homes to raid. They will kill anybody who gets in their way down to the last child.

You won't feel so 'blessed' when you have run through most of your ammo stock and your patio is covered in a pile of stinking corpses. Although I suppose it might make for excellent fertilizer...

The law only applies to human beings. The vermin who voted in the great destroyer do NOT qualify as people in my book. They have no rights and I have no compassion for them.

[JRandomFreeper]

I'm living that life today. The collapse is happening slowly. Today.

All of my food comes from what I produce in the garden, forage, or had stored. Zero income means zero grocery store shopping.

I don't see any raiders yet, but I'm good with that.

/johnny

[Wanderer99]

but you are right about them not have produce though. They just eat Mickey Dees and potato chips all day.

[JRandomFreeper]

No rabbit around here any more. The fire ants have pretty well wiped them out in the local area. Same with quail. Plenty of dove, though.

Use the bodies to re-inforce the ramparts.

LOL!! 300-style!

[Nervous Tick]

Sorry to hear that. We have plenty of both (fire ants and rabbits). Rabbits are plump too. I’ll trade you some rabbits for some dove.

Isn’t that the truth, I am on year two and it is not easy to garden except green beans those little veggies are faithful, God made those for people like me to encourage us when the rest of the garden goes to pot.

People who live from paycheck to paycheck have a hard time saving money, or even having enough money to live until the next paycheck. That’s why economic schemes that thrive on inflation are so inhumane and devastating to so many people. But hey, no one in Washington seems to care. The same people who can’t manage to save any money now are going to spend more money on unaffordable Obamacare. And Now Obama is going to make them pay more for energy. Of course that will mean spending more at the grocery store. Fact is, they can barely afford to work.

[JRandomFreeper]

It would be unlawful to take dove this time of year. And I always follow the laws. cough

On this topic, what do I do with all the bodies of looters that come onto my property to do me harm? Any suggestions?

The Forest of the Impaled comes to mind...

[TangoLimaSierra]

He who has excess TP will become a VIP in the coming apocalypse. :-)

I've got a year's worth of TP stocked. Unless a girl moves in; then maybe 2 weeks worth.

If nothing else, boil the bones, hang them at the gate and set an empty BBQ sauce bottle next to them. That should stave off most of the zombies. As Sipsy said, “The secret’s in the sauce.”

Vlad Tepes. An inspiration to us all. He did manage to keep the moslems out.

The underlying problem at getting people aware and motivated to take at least some minimal precautions as listed above is normalcy bias. It's a job to break them out of it but am doing my part with friends and family.

Well, exactly. People got the entirely wrong idea about ol' Vlad - he actually had quite a sense of humor. One time he had some thieves who had robbed a merchant impaled, and while they were up there he returned the purse to the merchant and told him to count the coins. "But sire," said the merchant, "this is strange, there is one coin more here than I had." "Right!" said Vlad, "I see that you are an honest man. If you hadn't said that I'd have had you impaled too."

Then there was the time on of his supper guests complained about the stink of the rotting bodies. He had that guy impaled 14 feet up. "Smell any better up there?" he asked. What a joker!
