Alone You Are Dead Meat there is *Only One* way to survive when TSHTF.. Create Communities of *Same Spirit* guys, in high places fortified already from nature (you can find if you know where to look) where you can easy and fast fortified them with walls from surround trees with at least one source of water inside the walls. You need a lot of work and when the SHTF find you you must be already done. DONT build walls from now only the last days before. Every work bust be invisible even from air. Dont bother loosing time trying to save the *everything normal* idiots before or when shtf hapens even if they are close friends.They will never understand and may they kill you with their stupidity and their wrong acts in the wrong time. Let them have what they wanted and what they deserve. Prepair your fort with the right people, make meetings trying to be one team one spirit, DONT TALK TO OTHERS what you are doing, Leave out wifes or kids if they talk too much,and start from now because you had to, from yesterday. Your right, my situation is not a BOB, but BOS (supplies). I have a home and a camp. I plan on moving from one to the other with supplies. Someone mentioned "you can't eat only meat". Your right friend. You need to be prepared to garden in the spring. However, potatoes. carrots and onions last a long time in a pantry. Also, the forest supplies "vegetables" even in the winter if you know what to look for, what to eat and how to prepare it. |

My only problem is that if the situation comes that we have no power/no access to my car working than it will be one hellish bike ride with the family/bob to the other location. By vehicle it is 3 hours, but if we have to do it by foot or me peddling my ass there, we are looking at almost a week, considering kids will be in tow. Not fun when the weather is getting colder. Quoting: CrazyMama73 That would not be ideal...but do-able if nessesary. Remember if you do have to hike to stay warm, but do not get sweaty. That is super important. |

Any sporting goods store that offers outdoors gear should have snare wire. 20 guage, stainless steel. Also comes in copper and gold color. Usually just in spools by hunting and fishing gear. |

Had to use my 20% off coupon. So I'm looking at a huge rack of Camelback water filter/bottles. And the filter was quite small. In the back of the store I spotted a Katadyne Exstream bottle clearance priced at $20 with a much larger filter. I got the last one. |

Ihave prepped for the past 7 years...slowly. Made a needs list, and made sure to have it completed by now. Plan and execute. My wife has an idea of what I'm up to, but leaves it alone. I taught my oldest daughter from the age of 3 until now (9 yrs old) how to track animals, how to fish, what she can eat to survive in the woods, how to make a shelter etc... But i did not scare her with it all. Just taught her little bits while out fishing, getting rabbits, etc... |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1110734 United States 12/11/2012 11:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Snares are way easier to set than a spring snare, but the latter is able to yank the loop tight to catch a neck or foot. Making a trap is an art. It takes a lot of practice to expect to get anything, and proper placement is key. It'll be dead in some areas if there's not really an animal run there, or it will get trapped out from your activity. You'll have to finish off a lot of rabbits by hooking your fingers behind their necks and pulling on their hind legs and doing it cleanly and with emphasis. No sense making them suffer. I know it's grim to think about. Maybe that's important to realize the true cost of eating meat. Don't expect to catch enough to eat it often. Mostly it will be a treat. Then based on high competition from lots of people, expect stealing of game from your traps, plus so many traps taking young animals and hence dooming their population. |

Quoting: BG43214 18147015 both white and brown rice have unsafe levels of arsenic in them........ you must rinse & rinse & rinse thoroughly if you plan on eating it........ I have 35lbs of rice. I'll rinse it. Deffinitly not wasting it . I'd go for oatmeal with brown sugar and canned milk. The only kind of rice good for eating a lot of is spicy and then mixed with whatever. |
