Which is the reality once someone is duped to go on camera or be written about for the media to exploit, so their point of people like this being goofy is documented...

Suburban Survival??? hehehe

Rural...The only way to go...

It makes sense to stock up on both ammo and non-perishable foods IMO.

As to gold, I've always felt that 1/10th rounds made a lot more sense than 1 oz rounds do, but that's just me. I've also been buying silver 1 oz rounds and bars because I felt, like you, they'd be a lot easier to deal with.

YMMV.

Also, we who keep a close eye on the news will be able to top off the pantry shelves with nice to have stuff about 6 hours before the panic stampede starts for basic items.


The MAIN reason I keep watching the (dire) news every day.

I’d rather deal with the stress of what’s happening in the world and be prepared, than have my head in the sand and be blindsided by catastrophe when (not if) it hits.

I bought a bunch of silver quarters. I figure they will be quite usable.

Did you feel as 'goofy' as I did having the only power, lights, food, water, fuel, etc, etc in the neighborhood?

Just my opinion but you can’t eat gold or silver.

Ha, :-) you should live on my block. Half the folks are retired Army.

Any gang of looters following the sound of generators will find a well armed block.

If really bad times come I’m sure we could talk the libs on the block into falling in with us. Of course, no Black Rifles for them. They would have to be content with bolt action surplus rifles.

Call them “suburban survivalists,” or call them, well, a little goofy.

Yes, anyone who doesn't rely on the government 100% of the time for 100% of their needs and count on 100% continuity of that support is "a little goofy".

These simpletons are going to wake up in the middle of a living, breathing nightmare, and start off by immediately demanding that the "goofy" food preppers give up all their food so that it can be equally distributed among everyone who scoffed at preparing.

I don’t own any firearms or ammo or weapons of any kind. I also don’t belong to or visit any rightwing political websites.

Spot and I aren't worried!

First of all, survivalists are the only demographic out there actually consuming right now, so they are doing their part to stimulate the economy.

Second, if it helps people feel better and have more control over their situation, why not? The people who know they have taken care of themselves can be more focused on taking care of others if it ever comes to that.

Third, if things ever do hit the fan, we need to be focused on more important things, like building a thunderdome, so we can watch the entertainment provided by the less prepared.

I'd give them sticks and make them stand guard.
