Practical Prepping Protocol even if Poor

Trump cut the freeloaders back awhile ago, guess it’s catching up now. Good looking out

Freeloaders aren't gonna organize and do middle of the night surgical strike raids like this but there's got to be an incentive for the people who are able.

Also, it's a lesson for smaller holdings when things get tough. You will be a target if you appear negligent in watching over your resources.

Edit: I'm reminded of that movie "Deadly Harvest" where black marketeers would make raids into the countryside to steal livestock and whatever they could find.

Looks like agreat opportunity for large orders though. Jump on this people.

Clear indication of the current value of foodstuffs needed so badly in this and other countries.

What had that article to do with freeloaders?

Terrific deal! They put out the best, according to my long-term prepper friend who has tried them all.

I would recommend you also get that special Banquet deal, JD, because you need to build up preps quickly. This is the best place to order from for quality of food.

Please tell us you are already purchasing big bags of beans and rice and a lot of other preps, now that you are where you intend to stay in the area.

People, a good thing to consider, if you have not, to add to your preps is a drone! Many uses - see if the trail ahead of you is clear. See if anyone is following you. Check out your cabin or other bug-out location to be certain it is clear. If sheltering in place, use it around you to see what is near, what is coming, any dangers lurking? In general, a good prep if affordable for you. Right after Christmas, if we should wait so long, would be a great time for sales, and so would January/Feb/March.
This does not come before water and food. Also not before communications, i.e. HAM radios. Should also not come before ammo, if you are planning to use any. However, it is right up there with some of the other tools for survival, in my opinion.

Be certain to have HAM radios, as well, tuned to your local area so you know what is going on. This is likely the only way to communicate, and definitely the only way to find out what is going on locally - actions in the area, etc. Don't want to write very clearly here but the smart ones know what I mean.

Drone is a really good idea~ *noted* Pooka

I need a pair of night vision goggles that are good at a reasonable price. If anyone knows please advise~
I'm afraid the reviews I'm lookin at are tooting their own horn. For that type of $$ I want to get some input first.

TIA

Weird this is brought up, they have drones that follow you and avoid obstacles that have camera’s. I was looking in them the other week for some reason, think just day dreaming. They are about a grand, which really is not that bad.

Got one of these today, going to try it out. Any thoughts, let me know. Tell ya what I think too.

Lots of ways for you to be tracked now, even if you were in the woods or wherever. Guess you won't ever be lost, but you may not enjoy the people who find you.

The cell phone is being used while I am in town, no service, everything turned off, just using it a recording device. But ya, I would need to find and old microwave that hides it to actually keep it when I move.

I need it to go through the lobby and take out trash mainly.

Lobby and taking out trash?

Yep, in sleepy little Ozark town now, its picturesque, staying here the winter til I can get land. Still setting up everything.

The place is a tiny one bedroom apt in an old 1920 depression era boarding house that was turned apartments.

Thread: I just walked my whole town square in the Ozarks for the first time! Ask me a question!

:Town1:

:Town2:

Looks like a very fine town. Small town America rocks...I've been all over the US for the most part and small, out of the way places were always the most welcoming.

Ya so far so good, I am in like the worst part and it’s a cake walk, I help people everyday all the time. It is good and bad. People are threatened by that.

What does that have to do with your fancy wrist thing and you being so easy to find?

Please remember to remove most of what is above what you want to say - crowds the thread and makes it boring to have repeats constantly.

Oh, going through the lobby thing.

Good thing to know

Good one, Lance! Very handy!

For us that have fur babies..this article is for you~

Prepping for your pet so you can survive better alongside your companion(s)

We are required to care for our furkin, birds, any pets at all, as well as any livestock, from little chickens to huge bulls and everything in between - they are totally dependent upon us and we must care for them just as we care for ourselves, meaning in preparations as well as day to day in normalcy.

Thank you, KTee - I hope every person who is responsible for any sort of living creature will prep at least as well for them as they do for themselves - better would be good. We might forage for ourselves, but our dogs and cats will not be interested in eating dandelions or spinach as a steady diet.

I posted this in the food shortage thread but thought that it was worth cross posting here for more visibility:
Thread: I ADVISE YOU TO CLICK THIS! It has begun. FOOD SHORTAGES. (Page 34)

Just found a report that studied the movement of food in and out of each county in the US.
[link to www.fastcompany.com (secure)]

It can be pretty hard going at some points, especially if you go to the actual report that is linked there, but basically it points out why the fires in California matter to the rest of the country - of the top 10 counties sending food out, nine of them are in California.

Combine that with potential poor harvests in the Corn Belt and we suddenly have a perfect storm in front of us.

I haven't had to endure a power outage over three days yet where I am but my sister had to deal with an outage that lasted a month and a half where she was located. (I happen to have a hydroelectric dam a half mile from me)

Moving forward, we can't depend on utilities giving a first world level of service. Be ready.
