Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

I just read it for the first time, and it pretty much makes a lot of sense.
I can see his point that it’s not “if”, but “when”, and “how long” would it take. An hour seems to me a bit fast, a day or two might to me seem more likely, but no matter what, it comes down to the same thing:
You would have to survive with what you have. You would no longer be able to buy ANYTHING AT ALL.
I also TOTALLY agree that the whole GOOD philosophy is basically suicidal. The roads will become impassable before the day is over. Way better to hunker down, talk with your neighbors (hopefully, you have discussed these things with them in the past), set up guard rotations, and shut out the lights!

Thank you for the ping, it is a good site.
Ping.
I don’t really agree with buying massive amounts of food bars and wheat. A better idea is to simply buy large amounts of the canned and dry foods that you already eat, several cases at a time instead of a few cans. Put oldest cans in front, and eat them as you normally would. As you use up a case, buy another, and put it behind. You can easily keep a sizable stock of food you actually like to eat on hand, and if disaster never strikes, no problem.
In other words, store what you eat and eat what you store.
Okay - I need to go to Survival Mom’s site and read that article.
Bookmarked
I’m with you on that - buy what you eat.
My main concern is getting the kids out of the city and back home before it’s too late. The major highway would be shut down so that would mean backroads. I need to find some county road maps for their cars.

What a great website! I’ve bookmarked it. Love the recipes section too. http://www.grandpappy.info/indexrec.htm
This is a great resource. Thank you for posting it.
Not that I can see, but I just manually converted a couple of the links to PDF files and saved them and they look formatted ok.
Just click on a link. When it brings up the article, I click on FILE, and then PRINT, and when the print box pops under SELECT PRINTER, I choose ADOBE PDF. It then converts the entire article to a single PDF file which you can save to your harddrive for later reading.
thanks
Who to know when shtf...
I am going to piddle in circles.....
