Best odds are on economic collapse or pandemic.
Less than a fortnight.
In.
No clue. I prep for six months, longer than that and it won't matter how long it lasts.
Maybe.
We have a great chance of survival because we have mutual support agreements with other families. Anyone going on their...
My grandmother used to parboil squirrel and then simmer it in a brown gravy. Good eating. My mother cooked rabbbit while I was growing up and still does, although I never watched how she prepared it. Also good eating.
I have a small one (actually a live coon trap) that I keep some GRMS walkie talkies and a shortwave radio in.
$10.50 at Forestry Suppliers. Doubles as a food trap. I am all about multiple uses.
Yep. you have to be in from the beginning, because you'll never find us after the flare goes up. Here's a group photo of the current 27 members:
ImADad moved as I took the shot, so you might catch a glimpse of him.
+1 for Patriots. Rawles also has a great companion website, SurvivalBlog.com
I pass out copies of One Second After to family and friends. Grew up reading Foxfire series. The downside of a lot of prepper literature for me is that it focuses almost entirely on security issues, while my interests...

Fine, a couple more, but only because you give free training to veterans. Another one with Prudence:
Here he is with my best friend. I am off camera to the left, telling him bad-hair jokes to try and make him laugh. After the picture was taken, they had to pull him off of me before he choked...
Bigfoot exists! I was having a throw-down a few summers ago on my property in the mountains near Dahlonega, and the bro shows up and parties hard! He hooked up with my best friend's wife's cousin twice removed. I have pictures! (see below)
By the way, he prefers to be called Chuck.
Mountain House tastes good, but can get pretty expensive on Amazon. I just saw a 6-pack of Breakfast Essentials for $10,000.00:

You guys obviously are not familiar with Mother Earth News. The hippies that designed this would never own an automobile, and would float in and out of the property on pixie dust provided jointly by Greenpeace and the EPA. Me...I'll transpo on the Apache or boots.
After reviewing a number of thread comments, I have added an ODT Group 4 version of a self-sustaining homestead. You will only find it here, not in Mother Earth News.
