Excerpt -
If you have not stockpiled at least two years of supplies, just stop what you are doing and get on it. Plant a garden if possible. Get chickens. Learn to fish. Notice I have never sold any of the supplies, and rarely even mention models of pro ducts other than a few like Katadyn water filters, or Berkey, but I make no money from that and have no relationships any companies. People often say that I should set up an online store. But that would undermine the message. If I tell you to stock up and then provide a link, the message is undermined. Most folks smart enough to read my pages have been preparing for a long time. Comparing notes with each other. Searching for holes in their strategies. Some folks even make dry runs by turning off their water and electricity for varying periods in order to find more weaknesses in their plans. Self defense is vital. We’ve seen 911 is a joke. We are our keeper. A grandmother with a little training can throw some serious self defense downrange. Later this year we likely will see various governments within the Unites States starting with price controls and increased subsidies. Governments always do this when they are losing control. These policies will exacerbate situations. OGUS will push to make rationing electronic to gain even more control of every aspect of our existence. All the indicators are there. Stock up thick. The clock is ticking. Conditions are set: 2022 will become serious. 2023 will be a year of starvation in many countries. I do not even see a way out of this. Too much inertia and sabotage. Serious famine creates real pandemic, more war, and HOP — Human Osmotic Pressure — which leads to migrations. https://michaelyon.locals.com/post/2069821/am-jumping-out-the-overton-window-again |

I feel grave concern for those that are just now beginning to understand. It doesn't have to be war that triggers societal collapse.

I was standing in the grocery store the other day debating whether to pay $8.00 for bacon or wait till it costs $10.00.
We've been doing the stock up thing for 20 years. I think we have food for 6 months and meds are sketchy. Getting through severely hard times for two years is more than we can do. People we take in had better have things to contribute. |

I have preps, I've been doing so for decades. But you know, after a while, I get sick and tired of hearing the doom and gloom that the entire world societies will completely fall apart. Over the past 50 years we've had multiple "this is the one, get ready! " it's all very tiresome. The world's not gonna collapse, ARFcoms wet dream of lawlessness and fending for yourselves will never happen.

Two years? Even if he is right it won’t help.
If millions are starving, one way or another, you won’t be sitting on two years of food. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ClusterNukes: Fuck it, I guess I'll just start eating the surplus population. I mean, if you're hungry enough. I just hope if this day comes I'm not too old to do what needs done to survive. Today? I'll be just fine, 10yrs from now might be tricky. I have 1 son that I would trust 100% to do what needs done and would feel no guilt about it. Two of them that are giant pussies and would just have to starve (I guess I could eat them ) and would be worthless. My oldest has the skills to do what would need done but would have to lose this religious thing he has going on at the moment...but I think once hunger and the need to defend your shit kicks in, he will be fine and I could count on him 100% also.Then I would meet up with my close group of friends and I guarantee you we won't go hungry. |

I was pretty well stocked pre-covid, I bought a lot of things right after when I could find them. Lately I have been tossing some of the canned goods that went a year past the best buy date, a couple of cans were puffed up so no question those were bad. I need to lay in more dehydrated foods with longer shelf life I suppose.

Easy, just find the members house that stockpile for 2 years and .....
The world has been ending since I was a kid. At this point if you don't understand mental illness (anxiety) then you are probably too far gone down the prepper hole. Sure, it makes sense to plan for emergencies, like weather, but to be able to plan for every conceivable doomsday scenario is pretty much beyond the reach of most. Just know this, they don't loot grocery stores, that shit will be gone, so stay away from Best Buy and Walmart and you'll probably be ok... |

Should be able to get through 2 years. Would hope anyway. |

This is the end game being perpetrated on America. You can roll over and accept what's coming down the pike, or you can resist. And being somewhat self sustaining is the number one way of resisting. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Alacran: Hearing is one thing, seeing is another. If you’re not seeing what’s going on with the world’s food supply, then the warning will most likely fall on deaf ears. I think you're right. I lived in Virginia when hurricane Isabel came through and saw how fast shit broke down where I lived. There was mobs of people breaking into people's homes and straight up taking their shit. When it got dark these same people would brick police cars and chase the police out. I've always thought about that time, no electric for a week and people was getting fucked up over a bag of ice. I moved from Newport News to Gloucester after that experience and other stuff with my children dealing with blacks. I loved Virginia and hated it, made some lifelong friends there but I learned real quick the difference between northern and southern umm...minorities. |

Dying of starvation while fighting to my last breath for scraps is, IMO, a better death than shitting myself daily until my heart gives out in a nursing home. Of those two choices, I'll take the first one.

He has since spent his time in other trouble spots but that doesn’t mean he can accurately predict the future. |

We've been living from a FIFO stockpile since the late '90's, and growing gardens, raising livestock, canning, etc. because emergency storage is only part of the picture. I am under no delusions about how difficult true self-reliance is to pull off, but I have yet to find a downside to being prepared.
