Very interesting - good info.

it’s not just for breakfast anymore...

And....

The next day, a bigger and even hungrier herd arrives wanting your stuff.

Deer, wild hogs and turkey's..... Plenty of bullets... I think I'm good for meat.

Save your ammo - get a crossbow.

I hope you’re referring to hunting game,
and not using force to take what others have.

Got plenty of wild hogs and catfish.

Hell dude, all you need now is a chipper-shredder and you can dispose of any city dwellers that spill onto your property....no need to store tons of lye and waste fuel on digging graves ;) <./morbid sense of humor (maybe)>

I think my favorite person so far on Doomsday Preppers was the one hoarding all the chocolate brownie mix.

I'm heading to her place after Armageddon hits.

How To Live Off One Acre Of Land

Good luck.

I had a neighbor in Michigan who only had a couple of acres, but he managed to turn that into a very impressive backyard farm. Seemed to largely feed his family from it.

Noticed that Costco is selling buckets of storable food this week. I guess they always have it, but they are featuring it this week, and this year they have a whole bucket of seeds.

When they arrive the dogs will bark, the snipers will take up their positions, and the “long pig” will end up getting fed to the “short” pigs.

Exactamundo.

Im not sure those preparing have really come to ‘peace’ with that reality.

Where the hell did you get THAT damn fool idea?

LOL, I have an anti-gun, liberal, electric car owning, electric lawnmower owning weenie neighbor. He saw me and a cop buddy of mine get out of my truck one day as he was pulling weeds. We pulled out my M1918 watercooled machinegun and took it inside with tripod, barrels, etc.

Neighbor knew I was "into guns", but never knew I had something THAT big. His comment was the same as yours, "I know where to go when the world ends".......and I looked him straight in the eye and said, "Then you'll be the first man I kill since you are supposed to protect your own family, not me. In addition, I won't be here".

Well, needless to say, my neighbors face looked like I just skinned a baby harp seal in front of him.....and I stopped getting "Holiday Cards" from them.

No loss to me, my catfish farm and chipper shredder are ready in case he shows up to our Bug Out Location, that is if we don't string him up first as a warning to others.

I think Prepping is about to go main-stream.

Maybe I'll write a song, "I was prepping when prepping wasn't cool."

LOL.

[SgtHooper]

The only way that even preppers have a chance beyond their own stores, is to band togther, to be part of a working quick reaction militia. Safety in numbers. No single prepper can survive an attack in numbers without outside help, even if the attackers are using clubs.

What I wish to point out is that the vast majority of people in America wouldn’t even know where to BEGIN producing food from 2 acres of land.

It's not just knowledge - it's also equipment. And for people who do know what they're doing - and have basic tools - - they'll lack fuel for machines - fertilizers for plants, etc.
