Gotta love Claire. Gotta love the Romero references.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

Preparedness is such a daunting task it’s hard to figure where to begin.

Case in point: I have an enviably well-prepared friend. Call him Bob. He has a ne'er-do-well, completely unprepared brother. For years Bob urged lazy bro at least to lay in a few supplies and build a few skills. Bro finally looked around and said, "Hey, don't worry about it. If anything goes wrong, I'll just move in with you."

The liberal mentality in a survival situation...

Here in NYC, if TSHTF a lot of people are gonna be screwed and defenseless and hungry and scared. Water will be at an absolute premium. Good luck with waste disposal.

Gotta come to grips with the fact that most of the city dwellers will simply kill each other off, and will not have the wherewithal to seek out the outlying survivalists.

Cities are essentially self-filling mortuaries.

We’ve actually got a few of those six-gallon pails stashed away. And our 72 hour kits are now staged and ready. Even at work, I’m never more than a few minutes from mine.

In our neck of the woods, it’s always been a bad idea for strangers to come up someone’s driveway unannounced. When the SHTF, it’ll be positively suicidal.

One important fact to remember: you have to sleep sometime. You cannot stay at Condition Red 24/7 for weeks. This means that you need people you can trust to keep watch while you sleep, eat, and try to get stuff done.

People tend to assume scenarios of human wave attacks of zombies. But what if the scenario involves one or a few zombies trying to hit you at random times over a period of months? In other words, not the end of the world, but a period of hard times that results in zombies being generated steadily over a long period?

Brilliant Claire, one of your best. And badly needed.

I have been dabbling with the idea of making my own MREs. There are several instructive links I have found.

This is such tripe. If you look at actual government collapses, like the USSR, Argentina, Zimbabwe, etc. etc. you will notice a trend. Nothing really changes, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, the currency gets trashed and replaced and old obligations (pensions, SS) get eliminated.

There is no rioting, no one rebels, hungry beaten down people don't do that kind of stuff. Life goes on, but now it is a reduced life, money for food and clothes takes priority.

The way to prepare is to prepare financially. Wasting money on guns or any of the survival stuff is worse than stupid. Getting a foreign source of income is important.

If not for a resourceful neighbor who offered to trade his chainsaw and fence-repair skills for the remnants of my damaged yurt, I might still be sitting here staring stupidly at storm wreckage.

Claire lives in a yurt? Someone tell me more...

At the approach of Y2K, I had about a dozen people tell me that and pretty much mean it. I was prepared for myself and SO, not a dozen leeches.

And the city folks will eat the same stuff the zombies in the movie ate...hehehe

Eat people, thousands of hungry Rwandans and zombies can't be wrong!

I understand it's a lot like pork, which probably explains why humans are referred to as 'long pig' in some places in New Guinea.

Mmmmm, yum! I smell sweet bacon.... (__8:(|)
