Preppers??

[ShrubDog]

pond. I'll trade that for anything I need. Drugs will be like gold man. Except if it's zombies, I'm not sure they like weed.

5 zones will not last long at all. A nice seed bank and 5 elbows would be better.

This thread has given me the lolz. A bunch of Randy Shackleford's on this board.

The Dog Stars by Heller is a good one.

There's some serious preppers up here in Alaska. One guy I work with has 250 gallons of diesel and 250 of gas on his property along with enough canned food to feed a small country. Has his own well water and enough firepower to lead a small revolution.

I have canned food, water, cash, and gas but that's only in the event that we get the big earthquake up here i.e. I'm packing up the chevy and moving out. We've had 3 - 6.4's in the past year and let me explain what it feels like to be on the 10th floor of a building and hear it sway while watching the trees shake violently..... You feel small, scared and 17'n helpless. I prep for natural disasters like the 9.2 they experienced in 1964 which is basically the hand of God.

Well it doesn't necessarily have to be the end of days. Katrina is a good example of a probable scenario. People will go batshit crazy when there is no law enforcement to stop them from looting or have no way of paying for the **** they want so they steal it.

FIFY

Dude, I ask that question every week.

Just simply go clean off one of the islands in the Keys or the Bahamas.

Yep... head for an island with some high terrain and carry some seeds and fishing gear.

Not really a prepper, but I do horde things.

Ammo and a small arsenal
20+ bottles of good whiskey
5+ cases of craft beer
100+ bottles of Red Wine
Cabinet full of can and dry goods
Generator and gas
Supply of water bottles

I do have a small survival go-bag plus camping gear

Another critical supply is toilet paper. I have a butt load of the jumbo packs. It takes up more room than my food boxes.

Nicotine products and alcohol are the best bartering objects.

Having a 5-day supply of food and water is one thing. The rest is just paranoia.

Depends on how much money you have. If I had enough saved for retirement, and was still generating a good income, I'd probably throw money into having a plan to last for more than a week in the case of a Carrington event. An old jeep at the house, some guns, some extra gas, and a cabin in the woods where there is a well with a handpump to back up any electric pump and some canned goods. None of that is crazy expensive and it's all stuff that most mississippi rednecks would enjoy anyway.

I'll survive as long as I can make it to my mom & dads house 35 miles away. I'm pretty sure they still have "earthquake water" from 1990.

I honestly wouldn't want enough to last more than a month. I'd be miserable enough by then to off myself.

I love preppers

Because they'll wind up collecting everything and have zero skills at defending their cache.

What type of skills are you talking about?
