Questions for you wanna-be "survivalists"

Questions for you wanna-be "survivalists":

Okay, so you're storing seeds for the day society falls. Do you even have a freakin' garden right now? I bet none of you even do any sprouting to supplement your groceries.

Haven't really thought this through, have you?

What a bunch of clowns!

Consider sublimating your irrational drives by joining the Boy Scouts and a Paintball gun team so you can camp and shoot at people, etc until you get the irrational drives, obsessions, and compulsions out of your psyche.

Sounds like someone has anger issues and needs a trip to a psychiatrist.

Questions for you wanna-be "survivalists":

Okay, so you're storing seeds for the day society falls. Do you even have a freakin' garden right now? I bet none of you even do any sprouting to supplement your groceries.

So you're storing flour, and dry rice and beans. Do you even bake your own bread right now? Have you ever actually made a meal of dry rice and beans? Do you gave any idea how much water and cooking time it requires, and how unsatisfied you will be after eating it? At least without all the spices and meat and other ingredients.

Bought yourself a deluxe backpack and tent? How far have you practiced carrying it so far? Camped anywhere besides your back yard yet?

Got plenty of guns and ammo? Living in a fantasy world where you picture yourself shooting at 'bad guys' that come to steal your rice and beans?

Hoarding plenty of gold coins? Even if you find someone stupid enough to part with a loaf of bread for one, what are they supposed to make change with???!

No. I've been gardening for about 7 years now. Learn something new each year. Tried canning and eating what I grow. I've never needed spices and meat to be satisfied ... funny that. Don't have any gold but I hope to get some soon NOT for trading but just to have a little "precipitated sunlight" near me to uplift me when the shit hits the fan.

I'll pass on joining the Boy Scounts and wasting time running around with paint ball guns. You see I'm too busy having a great time with my garden and my alternative energy projects, thank you.

Actually yes. The most efficient method is to add 4oz rice and one boullion cube to a stanless steel thermos. Get a Stanley 24 oz. Fill with boiling water, cap and let stand for a few hours. Boil your water for 20 minutes if unsafe. google Vacuum flask cooking. ANY boil type packaged meal will work also. At the dollar store get them for .50 each.
Bread can be baked in a variety of ways. Curled on a stick and roasted is the easient way. Second in a pan like cake. Put pan on top of a pop can and add maybe 15 charcoal briquette equivalants of hot coals. (1 briquette =30 degrees F). Cover with a foil lined box. Wha-La! Bread. Or at my house we use the brick pizza oven. Lots of wood though. Ovens for propane and multi fuel stoves can be had sometimes on the shelf at Wal-Mart or Gander Mountain. A similar method to the thermos can be used for beans/stews. Get a dutch oven, sear meats in oil, add ingredients and bring to boil for 20 minutes. Remove from fire and stuff into a box with crumpled newspaper 4" min on all sides and top. Let stand 4-6 hours and eat with your roasted bread on a stick. Yum. Solar ovens out the wazoo. My daughter and I made one out of cardboard that reached 168F in no time. Boxes, paint, foil, styrofoam/paper, oven bag for 'window' and a cheap dollar store enameled pan 3/$5. Heats canned goods nicely.
Try going to a park or campground and starting a fire after about three days of rain. Get yourself a Boy Scout handbook or just spend a day Googling outdoor cooking. More ideas than can be listed here. All you have to do is try.

Hey that's great, thanks for the great info on how to use $5 worth of propane and charcoal briquettes ang $80 worth of camping stoves to make ten cents worth of rice and a five cent bread stick rofl. You go ahead and hoard fuel and propane ovens instead of food, genius.

To me your post is water off a duck's back.

I've got a running vegie garden. I've had it for years.

I've got chickens and the skills to kill and clean them.

A tent? I've got a house, why do I need a tent?

I've got somewhere between 10,000 and 15,000 gallons of rain water here.

Yes I do bake my own bread. The nearest store is 40 miles from here. As if I'm gonna make that trip everyday just to get fresh bread.

Fucking oath I'm armed.

Gold coins? Never heard that one before. I already trade with my neighbours and it's not using anything as silly as metal coins or fancy paper.

You haven't really thought this through, have you OP?

OP,

What's your point please?

Yeah thanks CaGED - is that name denoting your California G.E.D.? You're now the official poster child for this thread, a "combatant" that can't even write words, just post pictures. Gosh it sure is FUNNY how all you wanna-be "survivalists" seem to live in the CITY with BROADBAND lol.

Irrational? Hmm remember Katrina? Not all that irrational now is it?

I've been thinking this through for nearly 20 years, thanks.
Maybe you should start thinking about it, because people like me might just go all "boyscout and paintball" on your ass when you come looking for a handout.
