We haven't had a good TEOTWAWKI thread in a while.

Yes supplies are important, yes skills are important, but the most important and most overlooked factor is your general level of physical fitness and health.

Get regular check-ups
Get off of medications by losing weight, cutting out some meat and exercising more.
Visit a dentist regularly (worst thing in the world imo)
Eliminate fast food and processed food
Cut refined sugar out of your diet

Most of the health problems of people I know are lifestyle related from high blood pressure, diabetes to depression. A change in eating and exercise will make a huge difference, and you can reap the benefits long before the SHTF.

Agree! The first and most important resourse you have is your own mind and body.

The whole idea with our "survival" meet ups is to forge groups. Btw I had a plan on using "special deterrents" too. Lmao. Strength in numbers and pulled resources are very important ideas. U have to protect what u have to keep it

Sure do wish yall'd meet closer to me. I think this area has awesome potential and I have so much laid in that it's not like I can toss it all in the truck and run through zombieland to a 150 mile away meet rendezvouz site.

If any of y'all preppers get down this way PM me and we can get together. Maybe I can convince some of you to get ready to do a little colonizing if, I mean WHEN it hits the fan.

No democrats though..well they also serve I guess. Gonna need all the "special deterrents" we can get for a while.

I'll try and start a few end of civilization threads after i get up from a nap.

Networking, people skills, outside of the box thinking, and bushcraft skills are going to be the most important preps you have

Welp barring that you live in a big city I think bugging out is a dumb idea. Why make yourself a refugee right off the bat? Instead of shooting something everyday and wasting ammo, drawing unneeded attention..why not trap? Snares are not that difficult to make, Tractor supply has live animal traps 2 in a set for about $35 and they work well! Plus dont overlook the handiness of the large rat traps. For my nicotine fix I have a couple of big bags of shredded tobacco that you can get for about $8 each. Get a good pipe and your set! Plus harvest rabbit tobacco as there are actually many health benefits to go along with it.

What about motor oil for the firearms???
