    We are as ready as we can get, which is not as ready as I would like, but better I'm sure than 90% of other residents.

    I feel it stronger than alot of you. I find myself un-prepared. First time in my life. The perfect storm of events has left my flank un-guarded. Have to act quickly to close the gap. Hope I have enough time. Stupid stupid stupid[xx(]

    Do the best you can. Don't put yourself in a hurt getting ready. Just do it as quickly and as dollar-wise as you can.

    What are you lacking? Is there a direction we can point you in to help get ready?

    No, not really. Stockpiles are minimal at best. It's not something I'm proud of, ya know? I will get by. The Lord has always made the way, He won't stop now, as long as I don't.

    I believe you have several weeks, at least until the day after the presidential election.[xx(]

    As a mininum;
    You better stock pile several gallons (2 gallons /day per person) of drinking water and food. I won't even mention the ammo!

    About a year a go, I put together a survival bag in case I need to escape the area. It has everything I need to survive outside of my usual element. I am upgrading it today ! It is something that can be carried on foot if need be. This is the extreme, but I would rather not need it and have it, than not have it and need it.

    Call me a freak......I call it survival !

    Because I just moved into a bigger house I am somewhat unprepared myself. The Lord has always provided so, I will have to have a bit more faith. The Lords will be done.

    I don't think we're at that point yet.


    As long as beans and 'taters are on the shelf at Kroger's, things will stay relatively normal.

    When the food trucks quit rolling.....its going to get ugly real fast.

    Sounds like something is going weird.

    I must really be out of the loop on this one *LOL* And I think I'm glad about that. I mean come on guys *LOL*. But hey at least you have your survival day packs ready just in case the big one hits. *ROTFLMAO*

    I think you need a bit more faith in people. Places like Chicago, NYC, SF, LA, DFW, etc. might be where it's going to get ugly fast, but not the rest of the country. But, hey, maybe I am just being overly optimistic with my faith in decency and moral of the people, of course, there is a ton of trash out there, but somehow I don't believe that majority of people is going to get nasty, rather otherwise, I think we'll see a lot of charity, compassion and giving a hand to those who need it.

    Its not so much an issue of "faith in people" as understanding human nature.

    This isn't about the animals that destroyed what was left of New Orleans after Katrina...I'm talking about "normal" folks

    How many people have enough food on hand for even 2 weeks? I doubt its even 10%. Those people can't support their communities for anymore than a couple days.

    Grocery stores generally only keep a few days worth of food on the shelf at a time....that would disappear much quicker in a "panic" situation.


    It would be absolute chaos....and it wouldn't even take 30 days

    With all due respect, have you been paying attention? Where is the "bailout" money coming from hmmm?

    Oh thats right, they are just printing another trillion or so, in fiat currency. You know what hyper-inflation is?
    You been listening to China and France screaming for a "one world currency"? What you suppose is going to happen in the short term?

    Our currency will decline at a rapid pace, in value.
    The fed will buy banks and hold ownership in them.
    Private home ownership is about to be socialized.

    When money becomes valueless, and gas is $10 a gallon, do you suppose that martial will be used to quell the chaos that will be bound to insue?

    There have been many moves by many people, to get us here. The decline of our republic is accelerating at breakneck speed. You can choose to see it, or laugh it off. None the less, their plan is well underway.

    First off calm down as we are on the same side and yeah I have been paying attention as it would be difficult not to and obviously I know what's going on as if any of you knew me you would realize that, which at this point is a bit difficult; just trying to belong with the like minded as it were as I am sure that there are several others as well even though care must be taken to avoid those that are not whom they claim to be; and I don't need another "because no one gives a sheet to answer you" response either, not everyone is part of the goon squad so at least offer some common courtesy.

    Really sorry to hear that and hope that things will change for the better for you. Just got through watching `Matewan' the movie that was based on the true story of coal miners fighting the tyrannical coal mining company and kind of reminds you of our struggle against another tyrannical entity.

    My opinion is that, I am done trying to wake up those who do not want to be awoken. I am tired and have plenty to worry about myself. I pray the Lord will keep them.

    Don't give up Husker. Frustrations aside (I have them too, real bad), if we don't keep the real issues in front of people, we lose for sure.

    I am not ready to toss in the towel just yet.[8)]

    This would be the kind of "panic" I was talking about Highball.
  • HighballHighball Member Posts: 15,755
    edited November -1
    Sort of like the military does on a daily basis, Eh, Steve ?

    Studying the world around us, and doing the best we can to ensure our survival ?

    I heard not one word about running down the street with our hair on fire...rather, a common sense 'get thee prepared for hard times' scenario.

    What do you call it when the police put together a 'game day'..whereby squads of officers train to repel boarders ?

    That 'panic', also ?
    Naturally, the police and military play with all sorts of neat stuff...PLUS endless stores of food, weapons, water, medical supplies...ALL furnished by decent honorable citizens...

    PLUS those self-same citizens must provide for their OWN security/medical/food AGAINST that predatory government.....

    I wasn't calling for a panic.

    I was calling on the people to get ready.

    Perhaps you don't see it Steve, but MANY people are pissed. None of the politicians are listening to ANY of the people.

    This poitical environment is MUCH different than anyone alive can remember.

    We are treading into uncharted waters for this country.

    Highball, Freemind, I agree people should be ready. Im one of the pissed with the bailouts and healthcare getting rammed through the government. My original commment was directed towards NYForesters article about Bush taking days off. Thats old news and to his mind makes me asleep? I pulled up the old posting because it suggested you expected trouble with Obamas election. It did'nt happen. We are watching and if trouble comes along we'll know about it. For example, if Obama wins a second term I would expect him to go after the second amendment and private gun ownership. If he does you can bet it will be front page news. I would think anyone who hangs around at this website will be talking about nothing else. I also think that will be the straw that breaks the camels back.

    Steve ;
    There is perhaps a fine line between 'panic' and 'Calling all able bodied men to the wall"...

    But there IS a line.
    I know of no way to urge others to prepare themselves without pointing to the actions of the government, and comparing those actions to the Constitution.

    Those actions at time seem to require a higher degree of warning..attempting to stir the couch potatoes to to DO something.

    NONE of us know the future..but one can chart a general direction. That direction is towards killing fields and slit trenches.
    I intend to continue to do my level best to alert any that will pay the slightest attention to this fact.
