What about the others?

You prep.Maybe you know others who do.If your are like me and vocal to family and friends you care about.You have probably noticed many of them say I am not worried about it I am coming to your house!

Whoa people Dad,your buddy China loves ya all but resources are limited!Now often in my gruff (shitty) way.I tell em if you aren't preparing I can't help you.I can possibly arm ya.But damn feeding that many people?

I plan on feeding a few.

What are You going to do for those you care about but don't have the fore site to prepare? Cause ya know some are lazy,some think its stupid,some just don't care.

Are you gonna turn em away?Feed em and possibly run yourself or family short?

Damn there is much CHEAP food available,so much info available from books,magazines,the internet,other people, its a real shame more folks won't take the time to prepare.

I would like to think I would be all hardassed and send em on their way but if I got food and they have kids or old folks ohh yeah not gonna happen.

I guess I need more food,couple more water filters,etc.

But they are gonna work for it!If its a group then group survival,everybody contributes in some way.

So what will you do? Lets hear it!

Be Prepared!

GHB.

I just got a new bag to replace (upgrade)my get home bag.Its a messenger bag from Cheaper than dirt.My old bag which will be recycled in to some other role was a book bag type of back pack bag.All though the messenger bag is perfect.I'm not sure if book bag is not more gray man.Inconspicuous is the way to go.Messenger bag slings over one shoulder kind of a he man purse? It does have enough pockets and space to hold everything.So far I like!For those not familiar with term GHB is get home bag.This differs from your bug out bag which is long term survival bag.GHB is just that enough stuff to get you home!

Prepping.

Some folks think prepping is stupid.For some its a way of life.I fall in that group.

Why would a person not want to live?Prepping is just a way to live.For some its sort of a hobby many of us are campers or hunters or gardeners many of us are the kind who don't take our cars to the shop we fix em ourselves what we don't know our buddies will.

I am a far to midelling maint man and I have buddies who are great mechanics I have one friend who is genius with computers,so i helped plumb my mech friends water water heater he put brakes on my blazer.

My computer friend she bails me out when my computer geeks out on me.So I am the guy she calls when her car breaks down.And no we don't help a friend out by saying well if I do this will you do that.Its more like he sez my freakin water heater just blew up I say no problem bro be over in an hour.Of course you can barter your skills or goods.But in my case its usually just friends helping friends.


I guess what I am saying is there is no one type who is a prepper,we are a very diversified group.A lot of us are Constitutionalist my meaning is we believe in it still.To us it is the core of America.Some are very right wing,some are pretty left.

We have Repubs,Dems,some who hate both.We have anarchist No not the kids in black throwing rocks,or molotav cocktails at demonstrations,real anarchist guys who believe in no or minimal Govt.

We cover the religious spectrum too.Christians,Jews,Atheist,etc,etc.

Do you have too believe in a Mad Max world?Nope!Do you have to have an underground bunker with ten years of freeze dried food?And an arsenal that would make the 101st Airborne jealous? NOPE!

Some do have these things.But most of us are just regular people.We work regular jobs just trying to survive day to day life while hopefully being prepared for emergencies like earthquakes,tornadoes,hurricanes,power outages,ice storms.

If you don't believe Mad Max world is coming,that is ok with us.But you have seen in the past several years,hurricanes,tornadoes,ice storms,flooding etc take lives.Now I do firmly believe that when God calls or your time is up Well nothing is gonna stop that! However in most cases short of the reaper punching your ticket prepping could be the difference between starving,dehydration,drowning,freezing,etc.

If you start with the basics it doesn't have to be expensive.Cleaned out two liter soda bottles are great for water storage.Some regular canned food you normally buy will work just fine.If you are inclined to defend yourself gun info is all over the net.A lot of folks myself included would recommend a pistol of at least 9mm or 38 special.At rifle of a common caliber perhaps .223-5.56 on up.And a shotgun depending on who will be shooting it 20ga16ga or 12ga will suffice.

Those are defensive arms.some can be pressed in to service as hunting arms as well.Firearms will be probably be your most expensive additions to your prepping inventory.

For hunting in most areas unless going after truly big game,.22lr and a decent shotgun in 20thru 12ga should suffice.For hunting a good single shot rifle and shotgun will be inexpensive and will do the job.Remember if you do your part one shot will be sufficient so you do not need 30 round mag to kill a squirrel.

If you are interested in prepping or survival there are many paths to get there.All out Mad MAX-food and water stored away one gun and some ammo hid away for the time that they may be needed.Or somewhere in between the choice is yours.

For more information the list of blogs in my blogroll should be of great service they can take you to people who can show anything you want to know about survival.

How many hobbies can save your life and tie in to other hobbies?

Be Prepared.

Pete Smith has me thinking.

Pete has post up about Bob's.Bug out bags.

Most of us have hardcore deep woods survival gear.But if you live in the city is that your best choice? Some of it is dual use cooking gear etc.Tent,tarps maybe not as important?Vacant houses for shelter?Abandoned buildings in some city's.I personally live in the burbs,so I can head in either direction.Depending on the scenario that plays out, I may not head for the forest,now that it is the plan of most.

In urban area moving at night-hiding in the day could be a viable strategy.

Unless it was a case of nukes or bio the city will have food for a while.Scavenging could be a way to stay fed.Hopefully you have food put away.However keep in mind urban areas will have gang activity and I am sure they will claim all in their area.

Urban bag-pack might want med sz pair of bolt cutters,pry bar,pair of dykes-sidecuts for fence's.

Not to mention I see more Squirrels and rabbits here in the city than I ever see in the country.Rat traps with peanut butter for squirrels.Air rifles for both.Snares or live traps.Deadfalls.

Most any little stream will have crawdads and frogs.Your hands,nets,traps,frog gig.A friend of mine has proven time and again frogs will take about anything ya swing in front of em.

Raccoons and possum's are everywhere.Possums are ugly little critters but if your starving it's meat.

Sometime back I looked up recipes for unusual foods.You might want to do the same,put (recipe book) in your BOB just in case.

City or Country? Not to steal Michael's line but stay alive,by any means possible.

Talk of bugging out from gulf is starting.

There is more and more talk about folks leaving the Gulf area.Can't say that I blame em.Lets see Methane gas,chemicals from corexit,oil vapors,plus who knows what else in the air.I wonder how long before fresh ground water-wells etc are contaminated?Real bad times for the gulf.If you are the praying type they could use em!What a fiasco! BP doesn't want anyone videoing and the Govt supposedly isn't backing that up,yet no fly zones etc.

I think if I was close to the water I would get out now!Not wait for FEMA type evac.If you are staying stock up on food,water and supplies.

God bless you all.

Is the End near?

For many yes.I don't know if it's THE END.But our economy grows worse other countries we are tangled up with their economy's grow worse.Timmy and Ben are still pulling the wool over AMERICAS eyes.Some very smart people say more is coming in finance,banking,housing,loans of all types.

If food stamps or aid stops for those who are unemployed yes it is the end.For GOD's sake put away food while you can.

Get guns and ammo while you can.

The End is coming one way or another.
