That first guy in the article, I think he should have bought more guns and ammo. then starbucks, red wine and deodorant.
"Diversified neighborhood" - what a wonderful thought as long as everything is fine and everyone is getting along. Probably not a good place to be if and when the poop hits the fan.

Not much of a survivalist if he lets the nosy newspaper reporter know all the details of his stash.

I figured the red wine was for drinking, the starbucks was for trade with people who had no clue as to the value of anything, and the deodorant was so he could have his pick of the remaining chicks.

I was building solar stills and survival caches back in 1985. American survival guide was the magazine to read back then when it came to this kind of stuff. That magazine died off at the newsstands but was resurrected online aunder the name “Modern Survival”. It can be found here: http://www.modernsurvival.net/
Lots of good info for “preppers”.
I’m with Jack BTW. What’s the point of surviving without red wine? :)

Now that he’s revealed his name, where he lives and what he has.....well, now his neighbors will know where to go “shopping.”
He’d be smarter to go about his prepping with his mouth shut.

“Diversified neighborhood”
That diversity crap is not what it is cracked up to be!!!
Let me tell you! Rude horrible neighbors,(and assorted ankle biters)who care nothing about consideration. From loud junk music to same ankle biters throwing rocks at cars, golf balls at garage doors, neighbors decorative lava rocks at cars, tearing down guttering, etc....
So, the “moving to the sticks” is a good thing.
My new neighbors will be out of range of baseballs and shot guns. But not rifle range. /S

"...regular people with regular jobs who decided after Sept. 11, after Hurricane Katrina or when their 401(k)s tanked that they cant rely on someone else to help them if something goes awry."
There you go. I'm not obsessed with it, but if we lose power, water and contact with emergency responders for a week or two, I won't need outside help. You'd think folks would appreciate and support that, but they don't. The problem is all those preparations are disturbing the sheeple. They're a reminder of how fragile society really is; how quickly that thin veneer of civilization can be stripped away by natural disaster or political upheaval. It's like holding up a mirror. They don't like what they see. It scares them. Given a sack of rice, a few gallons for potable water, and fire making skills, you could survive just about anything. But I know folks who stedfastly refuse to even stock a little extra rice, canned goods or water.

He also has a load of red wine, Starbucks coffee and deodorant stashed away." The man has no hope! - The Starpuke drinkers will be the first to perish!

Has anyone read One Second After yet?
I never gave preparedness a thought before that. DH has worked many disasters, including Katrina, so he was more into that.
But after reading the book, you stop thinking in terms of a few weeks.
I am still freaked out.
To: appleseed
I live a long way from any large urban area. Keeping a good supply of stuff on hand is just good thinking out here.

Why, I’ve always believed they were called Americans,
cause that is what Americans DO.
