Do you have a plan for when TeH SHTF?

[Semicolon]

Civil defense has always been of interest to me and I try to be ready for most problems.  I have food, water, heaters, fuel, 2 generators, and tools and supplies to temporarily fix most anything at my house including the house itself.  As far as protecting things if it gets really bad I don't have any working guns but I do have a multitude of other weapons along with some stuff that goes boom and I'm rather devious when it comes to traps.  One of my projects that I have not started beyond the collection of materials is making a wood gasifier to power my smaller generator which would take care of the fuel problem

    My plan is to go to Parts' house. 

Given the condition of your hometown, when will you be leaving?

  My hometown is fine at the moment.  No shootings on my street in years.

I'm taking reservations now don't wait to long or the list will be full  bring  guns, ammo, food or fuel   I do have a few friends who have said they would head here if things ever did get really bad and as long as people bring useful stuff fine by me.

  I work in a kitchen.  I have access to massive quantities of food.

Based on our ages (72 and 65) and the PR's handicaps I don't envision being able to survive anything catastrophic.  I'll leave it to the more deserving members of humanity.

I did not know you were so fucking old. I really thought I hated you only because you represent my most hated Monarchs. (politics can be a bitch, sometimes)

:throws jacket over puddle:  :offers hand:

Yeah, not to put too fine a point on it all, you fall into the first group of those to die, along with my own self, in an emergency "life suddenly turns impossible" situation.

Sorry.

Mostly, those with any kind of disability, affliction, advanced age, those needing medication, or those who can not walk or run for a few miles in an hour, etc,   

... SHTF  and you are out of the game.

Basically, as you probably already have done, I would say get things in order, as I have, and make yourself prepared for an end game scenario in which you will be setting your young ones free to fend for themselves, lest we become burdens and such.

My goal is to teach my kids everything I know, as fast as they can learn it and help them be as self sufficient as they can ever be.

I am amazed that you are still here (meaning, on this site), trying to help others.

I applaud your efforts.
 







... but, before we both die,  I have to ask:  What the fuck is it with the queen shit!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!

To me our United States Of America was toiled on three occasions to just gain freedom from those fucking horrid Brits, then after another eighty years we went to war with our own selves, brother against brother, to resolve one of the most fundamentally WRONG things left over from British rule that a full third of the country subscribed to, STILL.

Why the fuck would you give an inkling of an assfart to a fucking Brit?  OK, I have Irish ancestors, if that helps to define my American hyper-patriotism.

I have no regard for those who  built an empire by keeping slaves, white or black or orange or yellow or tatoo'ed for that matter ...

The mere fact that it took our Perfectly described Constitution over one hundred fifty years to evict British rule disgusts me and if it results  from a  from of or a basic lack of intestinal fortitude that we Americans have suffered these horrors of left over artifacts from British rule, then we all have some work to do.. The simple words were enough. Why the fuck did it take so long to remove Ancient British rule from our shores!!??!!???


... but back to my question;  WTF is up with the fucking Queen thing?


... back to topic, though, Water?

I have this fear that most people take for granted that they can have all the water they want, but what if "all the water you want"  is contaminated?

Cute.

My mom is seventy eight years old.

Yeah, she still keeps a hell of a farm full of animals going, but it is only a matter of SHORT time before THAT all ends.

Sorry, but no positive comments are allowed in this thread.

 














 

Let it rip, dude.

Give me a reason to think that TeH SHIT IS NOT ABOUT TO HIT THE FAN, etc.

[Queen Victoria]

@ DirtDawg - I'm Queen Victoria for several reasons:

I'm short (4'10"), fat (235 lbs), silver haired, and old.  Like the pictures we're most familiar with of the Queen.  I'm Queen Victoria, QueenVictoria, QueenVictoriaMum or Queen Victoria Mum on most websites.

Years ago, a banter was started here and it involved me teasing about being Queen Victoria.  Couldbecousin and some others took the ball and continued the banter.  I simply changed my name from weakling to Queen Victoria.

Lastly, the true shocker - I am really a monarchist at heart.  Elizabeth 2 was the first monarch I admired.  Next came Victoria, then Eleanor of Aquitaine (although she wasn't really a monarch - but damn, what a woman), then Mary 1, then Elizabeth 1, and lastly Anne.  My favorite king is "Henry, by G_d, King of England" (2).  I read almost any royal biography or history of London or England I can find. 

I rather like the idea of someone, the monarch, to handle most of the public relations work for the country while leaving the politics to Parliament.  And I do believe that Queen Elizabeth has the interests of her subjects in her heart and gives the Prime Minister something to think about at times.

End of explanation.  Peace between us.

I would join forces, but I think it's too populated where you're at.

I think if the SHTF I want to be as far away from the general population as possible.

There are definitely too many people around here but moving is just not in the cards in the near future,  so I make due with what I have

Unless it's zombies, no.


If it is, I plan on commanding my undead minions.

I would expect no less.

Where you been, goof ball?

in other threads for a while.


Before that, following different paths.
