Are you Ready, GLP? Bad times coming. Preppers right!

5 * and Karma for you OP!

I totally agree! Not sure when this is coming and I DO NOT believe it will be "the end of the world" but let me tell you WHO will survive:

1. Amish
2. Preppers
3. Those who are conformable to the gov't

I'm not Amish and I'm NOT conformable to the gov't.. but I AM a prepper! *grin*

good post!

I bought a camouflage blackberry today and 2 extra batteries!

I've lived thru a natural disaster and that's not what happened.

We we're locked in due to the roads not being passable. We had no electricity. We shared our food with our neighbors and worked during the day to clean the roads in our area and clean up the debris. At night we played cards by candle light and talked.

That went on for nearly a week without any issues. When the roads were clear enough an ice truck came thru and brought us ice which was a nice treat.

They shipped huge generators into my job and I went back to work during the second week and still didn't have power to my house but it was good to get out.

It wasn't chaos. We worked together because we had to.

Seriously? This is the best you can do?

The hospitals don't run out of anything in 24 hours moron, they maybe start running out in 72 hours.

Most people would be in denial. Stores would be looted in fist two days.


First 3-4 days are quiet, and people learn to cook what did they have.

Within 7-10 days there will be the beginning of panic and the start of martial law.

Within 3 weeks, if the govt can't control the crowds, there will be rioting in the streets.

Within 8 weeks, law and order will totally break down. Welcome to the beginning of the end.

By the way, how is the rest of the world faring during all of this, not so well probably killing each other.

OP,

Don't have a key for the kitteh, or I'd give it to him/her. Poor thing!

Do have a supply of all sorts of food/cleaning products/personal stuff. If I survive to use it is the next question. Depends on what happens.

We're in the Puget Sound area and can anticipate a major tsunami sooner or later. Will it hit us where we are? Dunno. Planning to be prepared, but we're seniors, so we might not be the best physically.

We're willing to share with neighbors and those closeby. We can't expect to survive as just a family. Security in numbers and all that...

We'll try to stay current with supplies but many things can happen to change the game strategy.

Gov will hold the cities. Survivalists will hold the country side...

I believe especially if you live in a city environment and end up stuck there, you will need to have enough food and water to hunker down in one spot as both the frightened aggressive masses along with the police and military.

Just look at the shooting of unarmed civilians crossing a bridge during hurricane Katrina and how after many took refuge in the Louisiana Superdome and when the conditions deteriorated and no longer safe or clean the people were not allowed to leave.

One should strive to be self-sufficient and not rely upon the government, as at the very least you will be disappointed and far more vulnerable.

What the hell is a devebunnyponent?

many people would be dead within 3 weeks, because of lack of water, lack of medical procedures, medicanes, operations, oxygen, nebulizers, life saving surgeries, disabled and elder people, people with dementia, cancer, altzhermiers and other killing diseases,asthma, millions of people who are addicted to dope, drugs, (legal and illegal), booze, and/or mentality depressed already.

We are talking 1/2 the population would die in 3 weeks. NOt to mention the children of the said above who relied on these people.

Not to mention 9 out of 10 families have less then a weeks worth of food in the fridge, still eat out, eat frozen foods and ready made foods, or are non gardening vegan/vegetarian like and go to the produe market everyday and don't grow, can their own.

I only know ONE FAMILY in about 200 families who is prepped. And that is my family. My inlaws have some food and guns, but they rely on med's and are pretty old, they wouldn't last long.

My friends and relatives go to Disneyworld, vacation, have 2-3 nice cars, HUGE homes, go out to eat all the time, buy more makeup and clothes in an outing then I have had in my whole life. They are in debt, they send like no tomarrow, and they watch stupid tv all night, and won't listen to me.

They'll be te first assholes trying to break down my doors to my preps and garden. I live in a rural area, but people are all around me. I have to save my children and my inlaws, but everyon else, I hope they like fema food.

I'm really worried,
is my supply of 12,000
pop tarts gonna last me ???

What the hell is a devebunnyponent?

first before you decide that Preppers are crazy ~ link ~ The truth is that our "just in time" inventory and delivery systems leave us incredibly vulnerable to a nationwide disaster.




You see, it is very expensive to hold and store inventory, so most manufacturers and retailers rely on a continual flow of deliveries that are scheduled to arrive "just in time", and this significantly reduces their operating expenses.

This is considered to be good business practice for manufacturers and retailers, but it also means that if there was a major nationwide transportation disruption that our economic system would grind to a halt almost immediately.

Once store shelves are picked clean, they would not be able to be replenished until trucks could get back on the road. In the event of a major nationwide disaster, that could be quite a while.




So what could potentially cause a nationwide transportation shutdown?


[link to theeconomiccollapseblog.com]

Well, it is easy to imagine a lot of potential scenarios - a volcanic eruption, a historic earthquake, an EMP attack, a solar megastorm, a war, a major terror attack, an asteroid strike, a killer pandemic, mass rioting in U.S. cities, or even martial law.




If something caused the trucks to stop running, life in America would immediately start changing.




So exactly what would that look like?



A Timeline Showing the Deterioration of Major Industries Following a Truck Stoppage

The first 24 hours

• Delivery of medical supplies to the affected area will cease.
• Hospitals will run out of basic supplies such as syringes and catheters within hours. Radiopharmaceuticals will deteriorate and become unusable.
• Service stations will begin to run out of fuel.
• Manufacturers using just-in-time manufacturing will devebunnyponent shortages.
• U.S. mail and other package delivery will cease.

Within one day

• Food shortages will begin to develop.
• Automobile fuel availability and delivery will dwindle, leading to skyrocketing prices and long lines at the gas pumps.
• Without manufacturing components and trucks for product delivery,
assembly lines will shut down, putting thousands out of work.

Within two to three days

• Food shortages will escalate, especially in the face of hoarding and consumer panic.
• Supplies of essentials—such as bottled water, powdered milk, and
canned meat—at major retailers will disappear.
• ATMs will run out of cash and banks will be unable to process
transactions.
• Service stations will completely run out of fuel for autos and trucks.
• Garbage will start piling up in urban and suburban areas.
• Container ships will sit idle in ports and rail transport will be disrupted, eventually coming to a standstill.

Within a week

• Automobile travel will cease due to the lack of fuel. Without autos and busses, many people will not be able to get to work, shop for groceries, or access medical care.
• Hospitals will begin to exhaust oxygen supplies.

Within two weeks

• The nation’s clean water supply will begin to run dry.

Two words: HUNGER GAMES

So what happens after 2 weeks?

I drove a truck for 31 years. The thing most people do not know is that the very food, the very clothing, the car they drive, the oil or coal that runs electric generating plants, the fancy bottled water you drink got there by truck.

Some magic president did not wave his wand and all of your consumables arrived at the store.

Nope some dumb assed red necked truck drive drove it there.

When and if you take the time to read the article and research a little further, you will be scared.
