One thing the "Doomsday Preppers" forget is | |
| DIRTFARMER User ID: 1252550  United States02/15/2012 06:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What if you stockpile stuff and are hit by a natural disaster? If you have to leave your home....how much can you take with you. Remember.....gas may not be available....so what can you carry on foot....a bike....a donkey? I don't see a reason to stockpile more than you can carry. Quoting: imjustsayin  I agree with you 99%! It's good to have a stock but it's better to know indigenous plants, local water sources and purification methods, and know how to trap small game. If you master those, then you really have no worries. But having stored items for a few weeks supply is a good thing to have if nothing more than a morale builder. Storing food and supplies is always a smart thing to do for the short term. In an apocalyptic situation that would 6-8 months worth. More important is knowledge to survive from the land with plants and animals it provides, and the plants and animals that you care for, harvest, and process and put into your food store for the winter when plants aren't growing. |
| DIRTFARMER User ID: 1252550 United States02/15/2012 06:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I wanted to also say that I could supply all my families meat needs by wild animals on my farm, and not endanger the ongoing supply. But if we had to supply meat needs for dozens of people the supply would be gone quickly. That is why a person has to know how to grow his own plants and animals for food. |

Quoting: natasha77 Why would they make it known they have all this stuff? Hell, i'd keep quiet about it...No amount of money would place me in front of the cameras...if the FBI or CIA runs an investigation...they are screwed. Besides, that is no guarantee they will survive... Bump. One thing they forgot is opsec. |

You got to have some good nudie mags since porn will go retro in an EMP situation. No internet porn, just magazines like the old days. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1166500 very important. also if you are a hot chick you will do fine. Yes, true. And hotties will be desperate for tampons, so stock up on lots of those and barter them for some action from the hotties. Also rubbers and lube, very key in this scenario. Preppers will get the most sex, even if they are total dorks right now. and the most stds. if she gives it up to you for tampons, shes giving it up for more than that serves you right though |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 28630651 United States03/21/2013 05:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | These are great questions that seem to get glazed over by these reality TV shows. Quoting: A Few Good Women I haven't checked this show out yet, but my boyfriend is all about it right now. We both got real into that show "The Colony" during it's first season, second season was too stupid...I guess the producers were looking for cheap drama, I was in it for the strategy. I know what not to do after that show, and a warehouse would be a great home, we happen to have lots of those around here. The one guy from Dual Survival (not weirdo Cody) has a great web channel where he demonstrates all kinds of shit that is extremely useful; from homemade traps to reusing spent shells. I highly recommend it as I believe that eventually, we're going to end up living in the woods sooner rather than later. Cody and people like him will probably last longer.. they stop to think alternatives and chose best one.Too gon ho kills... |

BUY SEVERAL OF THOSE INDUSTRIAL BACK-BRACES and WRIST/ARM BRACES. They will help you carry alot more and you won't sprain your back in the middle of the 'BUG-OUT-DRILL!' Also a good item for barter--who will have thought of something so useful? The more you can carry==if home or storage unit is hit/ compromised....the better your chances. You may also be called upon to carry an injured family member, or child....strength is key here! Cheers! SK |
