Already covered, and adding more to sustain it all the time...

“Preparedness and Perseverance will triumph over Paranoia and Procrastination everytime...” — (me, 1985)

They left out the most important thing: guns and ammo. For self defense they show a guy with a homemade spear! A bad guy with a gun will take all the other things you have—and your wife and daughter for good measure after he kills you in a post apocalyptic world.

It always bothered me in “Road Warrior” when Max’s dog got killed...

Survival/Preparedness ping! Don’t miss this one!

This is why Obama and Pelosi need to pass another ‘stimulus’ bill fast!

...most of us have the basics of bullets, beans and bandaids...so I rank community #1....you need at least 6 others to share 24 hr pickett guard duty...there will be wolf packs of looters...remember this: even a soccer mom will kill you to get food for her children.

Stock up. Arm up. Load up. Man up.

I read the article. That is not preparing for a depression, that is preparing for the end of civilization like in that movie “The Postman”.

BTW : when we stock up all that food, water, boots and batteries and move in that log cabin, How will we check on what Obama is doing on FR with no internet and FNC with no cable TV?

They couldn't say guns, because they didn't want to scare anybody.

Goofy.

I think we’ve been in the Great Depression 2 for a while and it’s already The End of the World as We Know It. I don’t foresee life returning to the way it was any time soon, possibly never.

I have plenty of vegetable seeds. I even have a deep well with a hand pump. I have 22 hens and one gay rooster (useless for propagation). I have 4 horses, 1 saddle and 2 donkeys, one donkey trained to carry a pack. I have a 4 acre ‘lake’ loaded with fish. Plenty of wild berries, several wild plums trees.

I have 10 acres of woods, plenty of firewood. But I can’t imagine cutting up wood without a chain saw.

I imagine I could survive...but it would certainly take some major rethinking and more effort than I can imagine.

But...I come from pioneer stock and am hopeful that particular DNA would kick in.

Faith and a small green Gideon pocket Bible?

Yup, #16: Self-Defense Equipment, and they show some loony bozo with a spear. They just can’t come out and say GUN, can they? Although they practically spell it out for you.

Without that GUN, you can’t keep the other 19 things on this list.
Without that GUN, you WILL be killed by someone in the apocalyptic world.
