That is classified, if I told you then you know what will happen next.....
I'm facing retirement in a few years, but have children and grandchildren.
What is a good source of info to start preparing oneself?
Scotch, wine, and popcorn.
so we need a few chickens...a few pigs, a goat and a cow....
I’m waiting for Ted Nugent to open a survival training school I can enroll in.
Absolutely! Food, water, propane, lamps, heaters, fans, generator, toilet items, pharma’s, protective masks & clothing, ammo, veggie & fruit seeds, fertilizer, & uv lights.
Once again, the dumbass libs come up with some “unintended consequences”. Wildlife is going to take a pretty serious hit while ObamaNation is in effect. LOL!
To a certain extent, and I’m not saying this to pick on you or anybody else, but there is a real, significant, possibly fatal difference between conception and reality.
Grow a garden?
I imagine there are some people out there with enough land, enough seed stored, enough southern exposure, etc that they could grow a garden and live off it... until about October...
The ONLY thing most people should think about garden-wise is growing as much as possible to supplement what you have stored.
Same goes for water. Fortunately, I live in the soggiest part of the world, I do have quite a bit of water stored, and more is available.
But if I lived in New Mexico or Arizona or Texas or any of the warmer, drier places, I would do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to store AS MUCH WATER AS I POSSIBLY COULD!
It’s hard to say how to prepare because different events need different plans.
But if it is a significant type of event, whether it’s EMP, or BIO attack, or fuel supply, or something that is violently disruptive, I would imagine it would not take very long for the whole mess to go down the tubes. How long ca we expect the power to stay on if there was a bio attack and everybody (who had survived it) was hunkered down and not going out to fix power lines no matter what?
Not long I would bet.
I’m watching your place on Google Earth. You think that’s a lot of firewood?
I recently rearranged, edited, and added to the LDS Preparedness Manual compiled by Christopher Parrett. My efforts can be download here:

Friday Night Fun Thread
I purchased Lifelock, saved $15 on my auto insurance, and canceled my AARP membership.
Stocking on ammo, food and medicine. I can cook from scratch bread and most foods. We have a garden that I can various foods and this past weekend bought half dozen fruit bearing trees. We also hunt on our land and have a pond for fishing bass and catfish.
My grandparents were very very poor and my grandmother made sure I learned how to cook from scratch. I mean EVERYTHING from scratch. Not that I do all the time, I mean I love to open some pasta and I certainly buy loaves of bread and all, but I do know how.
Oh, and we don’t have any chickens right now, but we do have a coop and neighbors have a ton of chickens we can get chicks from if needed.
Oh, and we dug a smoker pit in the yard for smoking wild turkeys, wild boar meat and rabbits.
Preparedness/Survival Ping!!
I just listened to a book on CD called Patriots by some guy names Rawles. It was basically a survivalist manual in the form of a novel. Very compelling and some decent advice.
The first rule of being a survivalist is not telling anyone you are a survivalist.
In a broken society, anything goes.....this means whatever is in your house. (and all of the ammo int he world will not hold people at bay forever if conditions are bad enough)
