My Hubby's Job During Muster Told The Folks To Start Preparing...Storing Food, Etc

I guess we shall hit the mercado tomorrow!

Military and military academies are the only ones that primarily have "muster" in the AM.

They had to give him some kind of direction otherwise some of the dunderheads won't prepare correctly. Know what I mean? Or isn't he allowed to say? If not, that's cool. I understand.

Not necessarily. :)

Honestly, that's all he told me.

did they mention 'for what period of time' they should store food for? 1 month? 3 or 6 or more?

The trouble of having a good supply of food is when people get hungry they turn into animals. You've got to be ready to protect it.

Jeez no gratitude for the message, just complaints that there should be more.... WTF

Nope. Just said to store as much as you can.

I understand!

This is only a suggestion based on my observations of Christians on GLP, please take the time to read or listen from Hosea through Malachi, it really tells us what's going to happen when the "end times" get rolling and it will help you and those you encounter from being deceived. I see way to many people who think they can make the text say what they want it to say instead of what God is telling us.

We have that part covered as well. ;)

If he works for the Border Patrol I'd guess they won't their officers and families prepared for at least 6 months. If the US Military is planning to war with the Narco Drug Terrorist, it'll drive illegals to the border and strain resources. KBR will be there to round them up and detain them before sending them off to who knows where.

Thanks and blessings to you.

"Also, he's not into conspiracies at all but does visit this site from time to time."

That's exactly what I told him.

So.. basically your husband's gov't job told him to make you terrorists? Because as far as I recall, U.S. citizens who stockpile more than 7 days of food and supplies can be considered terrorists per the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2012..

I am having a difficult time believing he was actually told that...

have a bad feeling about Dec 24th for some time now, maybe nothing I hope, but thanks for the info.

Yep, he likes to read my threads. :)

My hubby is the most square honest person I've ever met. He's very serious...doesn't bullshit. Sorry you don't believe it. I'm only sharing what he told me...take it or leave it.

And BTW, we're good friends with the supervisors (he himself is one) they've been storing for years.

If this is the case it's going to suck to live on the border...

Great minds think alike.

We'll see. This is home though. I've lived here all of my life...wouldn't think about leaving my home...EVER. :)

Thanks for the heads up. Here's a link of tips for people who haven't prepped yet.
Thread: Last minute tips for parents when the SHTF

If things get truly bad, one of the most difficult ways to prep is lighting. Batteries run out after awhile, but the new LEDs last a long time. There are new dynamo flashlights that charge up a supercapacitor after 2 minutes of winding. Then the light works for 30 minutes. This can be 100,000 times (estimated) and works without batteries. Regular dynamo lights work with an interior battery that will fail after about a year. Worth knowing for prepping.

The Native American melted rendered animal fat by soaking dried cattail heads over a six hour period. Then they could produce light for about six hours of burning. From my research, it seems to be the best way to light using natural materials. Of course, caution should be used for burning anything indoors.

Wax can be made from two main plant sources: sumac and bayberry. Sumac is what the Japanese use to make candles for religious ceremonies and its supposed to burn well. Sumac also grows throughout the country.

Getting oils for oil lamps is problematic from oil presses based on large plant amounts that must be grown. Some sunflowers varieties produce more oil, but no more than 3 gallons from growing 2500 square feet of them.

Pine resins can be easily collected and burned for short periods. So can birch bark, and birch oil can be made from the charcoaling/drip method, and this will burn well too.

Naturally these may seem like more extreme methods of prepping since it goes way beyond standard 30-60days of preps, but I think now it's a good idea to think long term.

See the link for lots of similar ideas and many basic ones on pragmatic ways of prepping.

I will always have plenty of strawberries, tomatoes, and toilet paper.

I should probably work on the rest though eh?

Thanks. Just added it to my favorites. :)

Yeah probably. :)

Oh dear, this is it.

The Zombie Apocalypse is finally here.

:wowzombie:

Tomatoes and tp what else is there?
