my thoughts....
the world will keep going on and on and on..
this is just a hiccup...
now what would really scare me is a crazy epidemic..
you know: something like "Captain Trips" from stephen king's "the Stand". or maybe a T-virus like in "resident evil"
You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but if you're worried about some scifi rage virus, and not about out out of control spending, and monetary problem I don't know what to tell you.
I think means of personal protection are rather limited for single person hold out. Eventually one might be asked to "share".
Who said anything about a 1 man stand? My neighbors happen to be Serious county folk that work for a living. There is a huge sense of community, everyone knows everyone, there is always sharing, and believe me when I say this..... If you're snoopin around somewhere you don't belong, some one will notice. I will never be asked to share, but offer first. All my neighbors are good folks who are prepared, and work just as hard as I do to protect my family.
I think the great doomsday plan budget would be better spent on a replacement 454 for a chevelle.
Boy would I like to have my chevelle running. One day when my house is complete, and my other responsibilities are taken care of I will be able to go all out, and build a forged bottom end, and roll with the big dogs. Until then I will focus on more practical aspects of life.
There is no doomsday budget. I will tell you that I have spent CONSIDERABLY less than the cost of a bbc bottom end.
Besides... I'd look awfully silly ridin a 650 hp muscle car when I am unemployed, and burning wood for heat.

I can hunt/fish Ive already done the Bear Grylls style of survival in scouts and having an army father. My Mom has been canning like a nutcase since I tilled her and my grandmother a "victory garden" Anyone remember those???
Yep I'm set for bear, Literally.
Well.. good deal for taking notice, but the general opinion of "bear grissle" is not very high in the survival community. He does some serious stupid moves, and I would be wary of listening to any of his advice for wilderness survival.
LR how much in the property next to you? You need someone you can trust next door
6 acres with a dump trailer that'd have to go. I trust everyone around me currently, but USMC neighbors are always welcome. I can put you in touch with a Realtor if you'd like.
dude, you have no idea! im married into a lds family and when it comes to pantrys... theres no beating them/us
I know very well.
I understand all about the LDS folks, but while I do happen to agree with them about food storage,disaster preps, and lifestyle choices, most of their religious beliefs are not compatible with me. Nonetheless..... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> LDS folks.
