I dont eat cheetos and drink soda. I haven't worked in 3 years and its making me mean.

I actually know where you are coming from. I think my first trips through this forum brought me to type out some of the same words.

I will take borrowed time over pathetic just give up any time.

Weapons, yep I have that T-shirt and the boots.


A little soap and water never hurt. Chlorine Bleach is a friend in deed.

The cold, seems I read a story about some guys that walked out of Siberia in the winter, I have cold gear, they didnt.

Most of the rest I kinda agree with ya. thing is, look at what happened in Russia when it fell. Look at what happened to Yugoslavia...Bad Juju happens to vulnerable people...
Mafia's and Militant gangs took over. I think Americans are better than that. If not, "Don't tread on Me"

when it does happen, come to me with gold or silver I will ask can you eat it? can you plant it and make it grow? the answer is no , and no is my answer, Now if you have lead, powder, water,flour, or fish then we can make a deal, but then if you have all that why come knocking on my door?

Generators- If you have the money, We invested in solar panels hidden from sight and a Hydro Plant that runs off the year round stream, powers the whole house. We also have a hospital grade generator, but that’s for emergencies and last chance scenarios.

Guns- We have our “stockpile” of guns but are now investing in crossbows. Guns will be used for defense when enemy already knows where you are at. Crossbows for hunting.

Gold/Silver- We have gold and silver but only for after the SHTF. When society starts to rebuild we believe there will be a demand for these goods. But in the thick of SHTF, you can’t eat gold.

Diseases- We bought a surplus of antibiotics for our live stock that can be used for human use (Disclaimer, I’m not a doctor so don’t try it) These antibiotics are made by the same manufacturer and have the same code as human antibiotics do on the medication.

north east or areas with multiple seasons- we are in the North West and at our location winter snow lasts for a month at best. Not a problem for us.

Invest in dried foods- We have a year’s supply of dried goods for our family. This is to be used in the first months(target 3 months) of SHTF. We will then work hard on growing wheat, corn, and vegetable crops, as well as herd conservation and sustainability. (cattle, chickens, pigs)

A wise old friend always advised 'If you can't eat it, shoot it or --- it, you don't need it.'
