Some see the current economic downturn as tough — but temporary — times to be endured. But others see it as a harbinger of even grimmer days ahead. So they’re preparing for the worst by stockpiling food: piles and piles and piles of it.
Call them “suburban survivalists,” or call them, well, a little goofy. But they’re dead serious about being ready for a big crash … by making sure they have a nice little nosh in case of a catastrophe. Across the country, there are people preparing for the possibility that we will not have access to food by ensuring that their cupboards, at least, will be far from bare.
Postapocalyptic Pathmark Take Bill Cole, a dad and doctor who runs a successful chiropractic office. He seems like the guy next door … which is where you may have to go to politely borrow a cup (or a barrel) of sugar should a fatal financial meltdown occur.
Cole has turned his home in the suburbs of Pittsburgh into a virtual postapocalyptic Pathmark. “I’ve got enough to last two years for me and my immediate family,” he says. His stockpile is filled with foods that can stand the test of time — from peanuts to pancake mix, canned peaches to peas.

It's a long walk from Kansas.
The ocean may be a long walk from Kansas, but Utah isn’t. And I believe that it’s part of the LDS religion that they keep a stockpile of food. So that ammo stockpile might be useful should you feel like walking west.
Ounce, half ounce, quarter ounce and tenth of an ounce coins. Maple leafs.....
Cost more in coinage fees etc but smaller coins are available.
I’m in.
Maybe I’m reading it wrong, but are you planning on launching an attack on the Mormons to get their food?
P.S. Not a good idea.
Good dog will drink that much coffee easy in a year.....

Wouldn’t want to live in that dog’s neighborhood. ... CAn you imagine a Jack Terrier on caffeine? There’s one behind my house lot that wakes me up every night at three AM when the raccoons stroll past his yard fence.
In case you’re wondering, I decided to fight the little terrier by irritating his owner ... that reminds me, I need to change the raccoons’ water bowl on the proch and leave some dog food out for them before i go to bed. I do so enjoy hearing that idiot slamming open the back door and yelling at that yapping dog.
Or a pit bull that gets into its owners meth stash......lol
My dog Spot!
It will do no good to have food and ammunition stockpiles when the battle of Armageddon occurs.
Won’t hurt.
Sweet looking buddy ya have there .....:o)
One of my favorite places is Sleepy Creek WMA, near Martinsburg (WV). I let him out of the car, when I leave the paved road. I then drive slowly, following, for 7 miles to one trailhead, or 12 miles to the other. He only stops to pee and crap. When I get out to hike, he runs ahead, behind, and on both sides of the ridges. I really have no clue how many miles. But, he hates to get back in the car to head home...
He's ahead of me again!
Agree. Real survivors know about opsec.
I watch Glen B then listen to Mark L. on the radio on the way into work.
My dang radio and cd player is out. Along with a/c. The a/c guy shorted out my radio. So no music and no cold air.
parsy, who is getting it fixed
