I’m particularly amused by the yuppies here in MA that bought homes with no fireplace.

Wonder?

And you will leave nothing at all for the eagerly waiting hillbillies in the hinterlands.

;D

The doors and lock themselves are a joke which is bad enough, but then to make it even worse people leave their doors opened all the time.


My poor wife has the patience of a Saint.

First, she had to deal with me concerning the layout of the home we purchased. No glass along the door frames. Choke points at the entries.

Second, the two replacement doors had to be steel with no glass.

Finally, absolutely no facebook postings of “we’re going away for the weekend!” “This is our location and our house is vacant!”

Most of these Obama-dependents have had the basic necessities of life like food and shelter given to them free of charge from big daddy government. The stealing they do is for things like $150 pair of sneakers or iPods, and they have stolen from people who are far less vigilant than they would quickly become in a SHTF scenario. These Obamanauts have never developed the slightest work ethic. Nor have they developed critical thinking skills or an ability to reason cause and affect beyond the affects of very simple immediate causes. In a true SHTF scenario they would not last.

My DI always said, "keep your hands out of your pockets, and your head on a swivel, no matter where you are."

Oh, and "keep five," constantly.

Marty was a real guy, graduate of MIT who ignored his technician’s warning about the siting of his new house and garage. After the next big thunderstorm there was a photo in the local newspaper of the Fire Dept. pumping out all the water that had run down the driveway, into the garage, and then into the basement.

“no where in my home am I more than 10 feet from a ready to go airborn home defense system aka shotgun or pistol.”

I doubt that.

Don't worry. The smarter ones will keep moving on once we decorate a few trees, light poles and overpasses with the carcasses of the looters.

I'm sure you hillbillies have far more clever things in mind. If not, I can give you some creative ideas from my Native American ancestors.

So this guy is turning off the street and into a parking lot. Were the “woman and her two brats” on the sidewalk?

When in a combat theater of operations, on patrol, five yard spacing between Grunts.

Agree, but those that do survive will be hard core!

It is hard to say who would survive a shtf type of situation.

Preparation helps in all forms of life. But, it is not a sure thing. Accidents and incidents sometimes weed out the unlucky. That is life.

We’ve already assimilated Native American “stuff”, having lived cheek-and-jowl with them for a long time.

Plus, there’s all that Celtic creativity.
