That was sure nice of you to stop by with that bit of worthless, low IQ information.
And where do you plan on getting your food if or when the SHTF?
You plan on crashing family of friends and mooching off their preparedness?
Or are you just willing stick to your principles and starve to death?
It would be rather hypocritical of you to slam preppers and then go begging for their help when you need them.
He most likely will be the first one to rob his neighbors or turn ‘rat’ and report them for ‘hoarding’ when the time comes.
It’s that thing about hew-mans again.
And for ratting on his neighbors, I’m sure he’ll get an extra ration or two from the government thugs in charge of distribution, who themselves will NOT be going hungry or wanting for medical care.
I haven’t pushed on the heat and fuel thing. I will need to up the propane tanks we have at least.
Talking about guns, he had insisted on getting rid of my Winchester when we got married. But when BO got elected, he came with me to get two guns. The real clincher was when we went for target practice. He likes it now. If you have a target range near by, go for a gun safety class together. Then go for target practice. That might help him get into it.
I would tend to agree.
They have a really good milk carton that is good for months. They have skim and whole and it tastes just like regular milk when it is cold. I ordered 5 cases months ago and we’ve used 2 so I need to get more.
Too many lines of possibility coming together at the end of 2012, not the least of which is the election in the US, for life as usual to continue uninterrupted. I will be somewhere very remote.

Just to add my two cents... My husband has been saying for years that we need to have canned food, extra medicine, drinking water, etc., on hand “just in case things ever get really bad.” When I say years, I mean 10+. I thought he was nuts, but when Obama was elected, and now watching the progression of his destruction of the country, he was RIGHT and we’ve been slowly doing what we can. Money’s been tight, but we’ve done little things like buy an extra 15+ cans of veggies or tuna when we grocery shop, buying extra water, always keeping the cars full of gas, keeping cash on hand, etc.
Looters are a resource....
if you have chickens.
I see a lot of talk on this thread about storing gasoline and propane for vehicles and generators. Just my opinion, but I think it more practical to wean yourself off of that sort of thing. Hoarded fuel will not last forever. Then what?
I had no idea you could buy antibiotics without an Rx!! Are they really safe? Most of them say they are labled for fish tanks.
The gasoline and propane is just to get me through until I can get my wood-burning supplies out and set-up. Wood-burning is a whole other thing...fire bricks, cast iron pots/pans, chain saws/axes...etc.
"Studies performed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revealed that 90% of medications tested were perfectly fine to use 8-to-15 years after the expiration date. There was apparently no danger in the grand majority of cases. The FDA tested more than 100 medications, both prescription and non-prescription, and continues to study the issue today. The exceptions were mostly in liquid form (antibiotics included, but also insulin, nitroglycerine and some others). What is true is that the potency of an antibiotic could possibly decrease over time, so it is important that your medication cache is in a cool, dry place if at all possible. Refrigeration is an excellent method to maintain the full potency of many drugs."
