There could be a new server, like a crony-capitalist deal with one of Michelle’s Christmas guests.
Wasn’t the national media reporting that New Orleans had gone into cannibalism by the 3rd day, during Katrina?
If they get misplaced, I saw how you can take a can of tuna and rub it around in circles on cement until the top opened. (Never tried this, but would be fun to show others at a backyard barbecue.)
Also, this is a reason to buy screw top wine and twist off beer.
You are so right. Those days of yore when we of the West were self-sufficient. That imagery is captivating.
I am so glad they found you and helped you.
I have yet to see any television show that captures the reality of that. It's a heck of a lot of hard work.
It has compensations, like no telephones and no idiots to deal with, but it does take a lot of skills that you can't learn just by reading a book.

Yeah, wife and I watched it. Rule 1 NEVER take your teenage daughters boyfriend to your BOL unless you plan on feeding him to the hogs. Rule 2 See rule 1

It was the “Ice Storm of ‘98”. Most of western Quebec including Montreal, and all of eastern Ontario, and all the way down to northern New York lost power. Crews came from everywhere. Our home had no power for 6 days. For some it was weeks.

Guilty as charged. It's been a while since I've done that, but yes, I'm happily single and do what I darn well please in my house. ;)

Mostly I have been mentioning gun or ammo purchases and dropping hints like “if it all goes south it’s gonna take all of us together to get through it.” I like your idea... Maybe I will start passing out literature.
Jonny, you could write your story as a children’s book, like a primer for young preppers. I am thinking that you include a young girl, named “Heidi,” who loves “the grandfather.”

I’d say that would be a good rule for bringing a son in law, too. Or it could be a premise for a comedy, starring Ben Stiller as the trouble-making load, and Robert Di Nero in command of the bug-out. Special guest Barbra Streisand and Dustin Hoffman as the compassionate ‘rents.’
She is really doing a great job getting the word out.
Yeah, she’s good.
MREs with self-heat tabs, but he burned himself on them..
Heck. I couldn’t get those darn things to heat up the tortellini.
