Survival prep of a different kind
I will answer this the way I answered it the last time a similar question was asked. Some of us just prefer to keep out food reserves on our bodies instead of in a survival pack. Not saying that people shouldn't keep in shape but you have to keep one thing in mind. In hard times, fat people get... -
Survival Group
Can my nickname be WidowMaker? I'd like my patch to be a spider web with an AK-47 in it please! :D -
Weapons and Ammo Storage Question
First off, welcome to the trader! I have a friend who does this with ammo. I guess it keeps it dry and safe from the elements. Have seen some gun parts oiled and sealed but never a whole gun. I will say this, I have taken ammo off of the shelf in my garage after 10 yrs of sitting and it still... -
What's up with Russia? Could this mark the beginning of SHTF???
Nuke em til they glow and shoot em in the dark! Ahahahahahaha! (sorry, flashback from the cold war days). -
3 yrold's Bug Out Bag
My 7 yr old has done the same thing for years. He keeps some toys, a pocket knife, batteries, video game, and a bunch of animal bones he's collected over the years in a green backpack 'just in case he needs it'. -
Wild Edibles of West Georgia East Alabama, Anyone know
Christmas gingerbread dillernads are really a seasonal item. I think he is looking for something like chipmonk chitlins which can be found year-round. :) -

I am closing this thread since we have a survival forum now (appropriately credited to 19 kilo, of course). If for some reason it needs to be reopened just let me know. Here's the link! http://www.theoutdoorstrader.com/forumdisplay.php?108-Survival-Discussion -
Are you going to be physically able to survive?
Its all part of the stockpile thing. Some of us are just stockpiling it on our bodies so we dont have to fit it in a BOB. :) Besides, when times get hard, fat people get skinny. Skinny people ......DIE. LOL! -
Hunker down or come together?
When I hear go it alone I think of a family going it alone against many other families or groups. If you are truly by your lonesome, I think it would be very feasable to go it alone. There are necessities of course, but most of your personal needs could easily be met by trading and bartering... -
Hunker down or come together?
I gotta agree with 83rdrecon. Each area will probably be dealing with a different scenario (at least to an extent). I think by knowing your area and the people around you it will be easier to organize into groups of like-minded individuals. -
Hunker down or come together?
My thoughts are community. Not necessarily finding a small town but creating one. I have several like-minded friends who are spread out enough that one of us should have room for everyone depending on what happens where. we all have our contributions. some by expertise and some by providing... -

What do you think the real shtf will be.
IMHO They already are. I think the govt will colapse and the result will be anarchy. Military, LEOs and the like may be sworn to protect and serve but I seriously doubt they will do it when they are no longer paid. I'm sure most people will still side with what's 'right', but that line is so... -
Item Gone! MRE's
They made it illegal to sell military MREs? Shows how long its been since I bought any! -
