Are there any preppers here on the mag?

Survival of the fittest baby. Are you saying you'd just roll over and die if you didn't have a stockpile? What if you were away on business with no way to get back to your precious pile of beans? What are you gonna do then? You'd target someone weaker and take their shit, that's what.

You obviously didn't pay attention to the rest of my post. I've got skills that ensure I don't need to defend a stockpile. I can survive without it. Taking your shit is just gravy.

Perhaps instead of calling me a lazy asshole piece of shit you should look at the entire post and not focus on a single part of it.

But now that you've shown your true face, I'd take your shit first.

This is a hypothetical thought exercise. Treat it like one. And really, is it necessary to call me names?

Man... I'm showing a great deal of restraint here when all I have to say to you, WD, is FUCK YOU!! Only a lowlife piece of shit would behave as you admit you would. Even if you succeeded in killing me and taking what you want, my neighbors would gun you down in an instant because they know you would target them next.

I don't know about you people. But I think they teach too much garbage in primary school.
They should scrap history and replace it with a gardening, cooking and survival class. I think
this World would be a better place if everybody was forced to learn how to be self-sufficient.
when they are a kid.

People who don't how to grow anything are going to be screwed I think.

In most US states/cities we can walk into a store that sells guns and buy a handgun, shotgun or rifle within minutes. All that's required is a NICS background check. If we order online, the firearm must be shipped to one's local FFL (Federal Firearms Licensee) so they can run the NICS check when the firearm(s) is/are picked up from them. We cannot buy suppressors or fully automatic firearms or short-barrel rifles without applying for and paying $200US for tax stamps. So... a short-barrel full-auto rifle with a suppressor requires THREE $200US tax stamps. But those of us who can afford the steep taxes, can own such a firearm.

I would like to correct one thing about your scenario above. Once you own a machine gun, it doesn't matter what the barrel length is. A suppressed machine gun is only a 2 stamp gun. One for the gun itself, and one for the suppressor.

Don't get mad about what will really happen. Prepare for it. It won't just be Dan, it will be tens of thousands, or even millions of people far worse than him. They will take your wife and daughters too. Ever seen someone who is so hungry they will literally do anything to eat ?
If shit goes down, I'll shoot first and ask questions later. And if it comes down to it, I'll do what I must to take care of mine. Things I wouldn't post here....
But my family will be as safe as I can manage, and their bellies will not be empty.

Hey guys no need to bicker please I think this thread could become really cool, no need to ruin it early on. I think its safe to say that anyone here would commit violence if it prevented their family from starving or dying its just basic instinct so nobody is above that and theres no reason to talk shit about it on the boards. Moving on.....

Bartering would be very important like we've mentioned so here is basic design for a Shine still.

Thanks for that... I didn't know.

The irony is that those poor people living in Third World countries who can
live off the land will be better off than the millionaires from Wall Street.

Thanks for letting us know your true self-worth. I can and have gone without eating for many days. I would not kill to feed myself. I would find other ways to feed my family rather than killing.

For any of those interested in making shine the old fashioned way check it out:

For a 5 gallon mash:
5 gallons soft, filtered water.
7 lbs (3.2kg) cracked corn. 6-8 pieces/kernel is the proper crack. If using bird feed, make sure it is perishable, or in other words is free of preservatives.
7 lbs (3.2kg) of granulated sugar.
1 tbsp yeast (distillers yeast if available.)

For anyone who's made beer or wine before this process should be fairly straight forward, essentially you mix all the ingredients together then warm them up for an hour or 2 then cool down, pitch the yeast and let it ferment for 3-4 days until the bubbles stop. Then distill it off. Here is a link for a more in depth read if anyone is interested : http://www.hillbillystills.com/distilling-resources/how-to-make-moonshine-moonshine-recipes/

My "true self-worth" ?
Don't speak to me like that. We are having a discussion. Please reign in your childish antics.
Name calling and cursing people out for not thinking or feeling the way you do ? Think before you post please.

And thank you for reading what you want to read, and then interpreting the way you want. That will be a great skill to feed your family.

I never said I would kill to eat. I WILL PROTECT MY FAMILY AND OUR ASSETS. From anyone, anyway, anyhow I see fit. If I don't, ill be dead, and so will they. It's the reality of the situation we are discussing.
You read what you want out of both Dan's and my own posts. And got mad. It's not how you feel, or your morels that will protect your family, or feed them.

People have to learn to relax or they won't survive ICMAG.

OK let's put this in perspective here. This is a thread in the TOKERS DEN. It's a hypothetical question, and really, anything anyone says should be taken with a grain of salt. You're judging someone you don't know over a silly comment in a stoners forum. Way to over react to nothing.

I did not say anything about killing anyone, so maybe you should re-read what I posted, since reading comprehension apparently isn't your strong suite.

Honestly, your reaction, and what you posted says a lot more about you, than what I posted says about me.

Since level heads and practical thinking win out over emotion and knee jerk reactions, you lost before we even started.

We are no where near world chaos, so your little stockpile of beans and ravioli are safe from me.

See how this works? And I didn't resort to name calling to get my point across.

You're right. I misunderstood what you wrote. I took it that you would do the same as WelderDan. I'm sorry.

 

[Gypsy Nirvana]

Well that's refreshing, to see members agreeing to disagree.

There is no need to resort to barbarous verbal profanity, as Dan says we are all talking about hypothetical situations, and it's not reality.......yet, or might never be, for all we know.

Civil Discourse brown thumb.....Civil Discourse, is what we should concentrate on if we are to get along on this site, and not force my hand to grasp the ban hammer matey.

Twice you stated you would take what others have. In a dire situation, those that have will protect their assets their families need to survive and which they sacrificed for. Which insinuates takers/thieves (like you) would have to face gunfire with gunfire... it's a given. If you take what others have sacrificed for... when you haven't... that's bad enough even without the killing. Those actions still make you scum.

And you openly admit you would steal from the mouths of others' children and then complain about name-calling?? You insinuate I lack in civility after you openly admit you would steal from others who saved and sacrificed when you were too stupid and selfish to do the same... stealing from the mouths of their kids??

 

[Littleleaf]

I prep, got the works but what just happened here. No one was ready for. I'm talking bio weapon's. My little town was hit with a flue bug on Friday. It was city wide and effective.

4 days out and its still kicking my butt and everyone I know who has it.

So no amount of prepping would have stopped it. When to powers that be push the button we're all screwed.

All we can really do is pray....

If they drop the bomb I'm hiding in my refrigerator like Indy.

I finally got my new fridge today. Now I'm thinking I shouldn't have let them take away the broken one. It would have made a sweet little hidey-hole

A fridge could also be great for hiding a mother plant and a tray of clones.

And you are still reading your own meaning into all this. And still name calling.

Let me spell this out in language you can understand: I WAS NOT SERIOUS. Anyone with a brain should have caught on to that. But nooooo, not you. You had to take it personal, like I was directing that comment at YOU.

Grow a sense of humor. Jesus H Tap Dancing Christ on a Bicycle, this is the TOKERS DEN, where we all go to post stupid crap and have a laugh.

I'm done with you. We were having a fun little thread until you got butt hurt over something that wasn't directed at you and was only meant to be funny. Grow up, stop calling names and stop reading things into something that was never there to begin with.

Pull the stick out of your ass son, you'll feel better after.
