Funny, I do woodcarving and a couple days ago started making some custom slingshots out of various woods.

i want to apologise for my post im drunk and in a bad mood...
in short i didnt pay attention to who it was and in my head made a generalization based on the user base ive seen thus far (that was a pretty stupid thing to do)

i see youre a fractalist (though i dont think thats a real term) i feel that alone garners some degree of my respect

Alcohol and drugs will be priceless, even chocolate will have value.

the best defense is a good offense





hope for the best and prepare for the worst


Truly a good mind is one of the most important-not just knowledge but wisdom


discernment



a scholar of many things will be needed by many-few can carry it-but those who can do and hopefully the people will receive the truth better than they do now-

Toilet paper/feminine napkins. Try wiping your butt with junk mail for a month, then switch to a roll of John Wayne TP -it'll feel like angels caressing your sphincter. noshit

no thats a sociopath
i dont like people and am most certainly antisocial
this guy is just scared he feels inadequate so he lashes out hoping to get the upper hand through ruthlessness
he feels he cant win on a level playing field so he goes for underhandedness and counts on outgunning or deceiving people he perceives as a threat (reads: people he feels are more suited to survive)
....pretty much the only reason violence even exists (to achieve things you would otherwise fail at)

message to that dude: assume everyone is armed as you are.... how do you feel now big guy?

I feel like you probably have an extreme habit of blowing shit way way out of proportion.

I've got loads of coffee. Also:

candles
cans of Sterno
sugar
chocolate
butter and cheese (both can be canned and stored at room temp indefinitely)
powdered eggs (I'm experimenting with making my own; so far, so good)
jerky and pemmican
canned tuna, salmon, kippers, sardines (good protein, easy to eat)

Frankly, I think the real gold is knowledge and skill. Being able to kill birds and animals and dress the carcass. Knowing what plants are edible. Knowing how to build a good shelter from scavenged materials. Knowing how to safely manage human waste so it doesn't cause disease or stink up the place. The ability to build makeshift stoves from odd materials (more efficient than campfires).

People who are resourceful and creative, who are good at using their hands and brains together, who like tinkering and making do with whatever is at hand, will do better than those who are lost because there's no WalMart anymore.

The real gold, even in good times, is what you carry between your ears. All the rest is a nice bonus.

You have a great point, and I've thought about that a little bit. I guess my concern is that, if water is at a premium, TP would be ideal. Plus, you can use it as a bandage with some electrical tape. ouch
