Me? I'm whats known as a realist.
Do a little reading, listening, research. You'll find that social value and morals went from an all time high, to non existant in the span of about sixty years in North America.
Twenty years ago, when kids weren't in school they went outside to play. Camping, fishing, hunting, and bushcraft were all quite popular. The one fat kid on the block was a fat kid because his mom made great food...
In the now, all the kids are fat. It's because they don't go outside. The hobbies are now computers and texting. Violence isn't scary any longer, movies and television glorify it. I mean shell shock is still shell shock...you just rarely hear about it anymore.
I've had extensive munitions training in the past which is why I thought your "cookbook" comment was pretty cute...but it does prove something. That information is readily available out there for anyone who is interested in learning about it.
So when SHTF have fun with your gang, because us like minded individuals will be in well prepared gangs of our own. The difference is we'll all be smoking BOG's gear with the four horsemen waiting for the rival gangs to show up.
What gang am I a part of? What are you even talking about? True...I'm not on board with whatever program you are on.
Go sit up in the woods somewhere...and stay there. Smoking BOGs gear with the four horsemen? What? You are a realist? Like minded individuals doing what? Sitting around making bombs out of Tide and nails? Self righteous patriots...with a civic ethical duty, a bong..and their little guns?
You are young...is what you are. Young and indoctrinated in..god knows only knows what...maybe a couple yrs in the military...where somehow..you probably didn't fit in either...otherwise...you would have stayed the fuck in there.
You are not preparing for anything...but seem to have a twisted fantasy where you are. There is no doomsday homez..there is no armed revolt...settle down...find some sanity.
wait...you shouldn't even be on a computer...because all your reading should be enough to let you know...THEY are watching you. Bug out dude..the commies are coming...and the illegal aliens..and aliens...and red dawn...and terrorist...and the bankers..black helicopters coming for you...run run run educate yourself in more fear
* not even a couple hundred yrs ago...where were the social values when the native americans (men, women, and children) were being exterminated and robbed blind? Were values better then..than now? Were values better when africans were enslaved? Values are a tricky thing...guess it depends on which end of the stick..you are on. Morals?...that's a self righteous form of rhetoric. Values and morals...no worse off today..than they have ever been.

Looks like the demeaning douches have arrived.
God forbid a man have a few basic survival items and knowledge onhand to possibly help friends and family in case of natural disaster, food shortage, riots, etc....
Anyone who says those things can't or won't happen is in denial of historical precedent and reality.
Are some people nuts, yes, infact I would argue the wackos are in the majority, wether its the guy with 50,000 in guns and ammo or the one who wold strip everyone's rights to guns away....
Point being, if you have a family, you have an obligation, as a man, to make proper preparations to protect them to the best of your ability in adverse situations...

Lame dude. weaksauce. Your agenda?
Sorry, my bad. I honestly didn't think you could comprehend my long winded diatribe of the decline of society's moral fabric over a long period of time. So I dumbed it down for you to just a few decades. If you're of the mind that were "no worse off today..than they have ever been" Then I don't think you n' I will discuss that any longer.
I'm not prepping for THEY lol, I'm prepping for me and my family. I don't need to "Bug out dude". I'm in a positition I can take my time.
I'm cooler then a fan junior, cooler then a fan. But I am prepping...and your upset about...and I find that more then mildly amusing.
Thank you. And I bet your a handsome, strapping, young lad yourself.
Sure I can make "bombs". I can also play the harmonica...hell I can rebuilt most hydraulic systems with my eyes closed. Are you telling me knowing how to do something is a bad thing?
My little guns are a 7mm and a 12g. And, like a hammer and a screw driver...each are tools. One for precision shooting at a distance, one for what the fuck ever I want to shoot with it.
I don't need large round drum magazines and I'll tell you why. If you can't kill it in three shots, it's going to kill you.
A little clarification for you;
realist [ˈrɪəlɪst]
n
1. a person who is aware of and accepts the physical universe, events, etc., as they are; pragmatist
The "gang" as in one of many that will regret not having some forethought by the looks of it. Don't worry your not alone.
lol...this...all of this. If any of that, is difficult to understand...well you shouldn't worry about me storing supplies for fuck sakes. You should just chug some Drain-O.
Nope, but I would steal if I had no means for food or saw something rare. I just think that if more people farmed and knew how to preserve food you wouldn't need ten years of MRE's. Even the feds have cattle grazing on national forest land, so if things get bad they can feed the fat politicions and military.
I would rather guard the food crops and animals with the family .306 than steal, it's hard to know who has food to steal in the first place. I wouldn't want the death penalty for stealing either....which would be the case in the event of a major invasion or WMD attack on a massive level.
BIO warfare is probably the scariest, they just don't make bio/nuclear/chemical suits for the family cow!
Don't worry guys, I watched Red Dawn last night. The moral of that (terrible) movie is if North Korea attacks, US people will fight back and prevail. Movies always tell the truth, 
.
I would also like to know when prepping goes too far in your guys opinion? For example, somebody that drives around with a spare tire in their car, are they a crazy prepper? How about somebody that keeps cash in the house, just in case? Somebody that has 2 weeks of water and food? Somebody that has 6m water and food? Where is the line drawn? What is sane these days and what is being paranoid? My guess, which is only a guess, is most people will say any preps is extreme these days.
My grandma is 92 years old, and she lived in the great depression. She always tells me how people these days forget what it means to live in hard times. Without preparing for the bad times, people are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Your just full of wisdom aren't you?
Please keep flaunting your intellectual superiority, it's obvious your ego needs stroking.
Blame the federal reserve. The quantitative easing HAS to stop.. Its basically printing more money and making what we have worth less. The debt will never be paid back.
Eventually china and will lose faith and others will follow suit. When this happens we will have an economic collapse similiar to that of the 30's during the great depression.
The problem with our debt is that we have public servants paying themselves with life long pensions and congress that is more corrupt than the LAPD. Cops get full pay for life once they retire with their pension. Public servants .. the idea makes me sick.

Who owns the Federal Reserve?
It is a private corporation.
Let's not accuse each other of being lame assed rednecks eh?
I think one thing we really could agree on is that everyone deserves some respect.
Some of us might sound racist or redneck but I'm not. Freaks like me don't hate unless attacked so don't attack. We have good security up here already because most of my rural neighbors are growers too.
The reality is that having a spare tire makes sense. What is too far?
There is no need to go live in a bunker until trouble happens and if it doesn't so much the better. I always hope my road trips go well and that I won't have any flat tires but once in a while you do. It's easy to change a tire if you have air in the tire and a jack.
Dumb asses love to ridicule others but they often have a flat tire in the trunk. Are your guns rusting? Have you done your target practice lately? What about your gang? Are they ready to gather goods if necessary?
Ok we don't live our lives prepping. It goes too far when it becomes like an addiction. If it affects your life too much and it warps your kids minds that is going to far. Let your kids enjoy the good times while we have them and let's hope everything works out fine. But, don't think you don't need to think about problems likely to some day occur.
I know fighting on the Internet takes little guts and it's fun but you children who have nothing to offer this thread should find another thread more interesting to you. If you think we must be racist rednecks to talk here then what does that say about you. That you aren't a hater and a racist yourself?
We are all mostly human and we can all have an opinion but when you diss another you diss yourself. If you don't see why then u r the dumass. Lol.

Your thread. I'm out. If you can't see the underlying political bullshit amongst some of the posters in here..and in racist undertones on at least one of them....cool.
I get the preparing for emergencies...but I don't get how that is connected to platforming right wing rhetoric. The same dudes posting their illegal alien shit...their fears of socialism...were the same ones chanting it up during the elections. Peace

If you can't see your own underlying bs political rhetoric your blind....
If you would be so kind to find the racism in this thread and direct me to it.
I have a feeling though your putting words into people's mouths and making ASSumptions, the race card is the tool of the weak minded.
You can't even make a coherent, logical argument to why being prepared for any number of reasonably likely adverse situation/emergency is a bad idea, or crazy.
Have fun starving to death, or standing in food lines, I imagine you think that the government will save you....
This is the standard of the day, call people that don't agree with far left (not normal left) thinking a racist. People that don't agree with the far right (not normal right) are communist. Divide and concur, we are playing right into their hands.
So many expamples of this today:
Guns. If you don't believe in gun control then your extreme. When facts come into play, you realize that guns have been part of America's culture since day one, and the extremest should be the other way around.
Abortion? Your extreme or a religious nut if you don't agree with having abortions. However, American history show that should be filped as well.
Don't want a larger government, your extreme. However, when facts come into play again, you realize that our founders designed the constitution to have a limited government.
If I were born in the last 10-15 years, I would be very confused as to what American history is, and what is accepted by common day Americans.
Divide and Concur
(BTW, I am being as general as possible. I am not going after anybody in this thread. Just my point of view from what "I" see going on in America today. I mean no disrespect to anybody in this thread)
