Doomsday Prep For Non-Paranoid People

[KateMTx]

We have no notable four legged predators over here so I could more than meet my own long term survival needs with good quality 22LR weapons and ammo. Ordinary ammo for pot filling / vermin control but would appreciate high velocity CCI blazer / Yellow Jacket type ammo for two legged vermin. Though I most ceetainly not object to being given a FN P90 full of 5.7 milspec ammo.

Rapid fire might be nice but I think well placed shots can be just as effective. Also there are alternatives to fire arms too. I am partial to bows, particularly crossbows. They can be quite deadly and have a good deterrent factor as well, I think.

We have 6 bows, 4 compound bows and 2 take down recurves, silent and deadly but we desperately need more practice.

It's like a mousetrap for humans.
I would think they had been contaminated somehow if I saw this.

if we want to go through all the licencing procedures and the homes visit, yes, I don't.
i'll stick to my air rifles...for hunting small game.

Going out after small game is what my grandfather used to do during the Great Depression of 1929. He had 4 kids at the time and was a coal miner. The company stores robbed you blind and mom remembered eating squirrel on many occasions.

What do you call a prepper who doesn't want to be called a prepper?
Looks like the masses are starting to wake up...

Some holes in her preps, but a move in the right direction...

Thank you Dr Henley, great article, added several things to my list.

23% of deaths this year in the U.S. will be due to heart attacks and strokes. I'm a lot more paranoid about that than I am any of the prepper scenarios. The nearest emergency room is four minutes away, and a world class hospital is about nine minutes away. Great healthcare is more likely to save my life and my wife's life than a stockpile of food. But yes, a person can have it both ways with some careful planning. Rice and beans, are cheap.

I stopped at a pawn shop and he had a dentist set. I said what. A dentist died and this guy went to his business at grabbed everything before it was thrown in a dumpster. I have enough lidocaine now to numb half of NY lol. Wow iam going to start downloading and printing dental procedures.

Now you do the math, each pound costs you more gas. You can get more later, just do not blow the tires...

 

[navyvet1081]

You are right, I am not thinking about all of that. I didn't think of that either. I just spent a grand on fuel. Thank You...

 

[navyvet1081]

I always had a chief "MOM" my whole life. Again allot to swallow.

we have an old saying in my neck of the woods that local people would "spend a shilling to save sixpence".

Here it's "Stepping over dollars to pick up pennies"

Bigpaul, I believe y'all have another saying along those lines, something like "Penny wise and pound foolish."

The Wife finally came around recently with all the crap that been going on.
She actually asked me If I was sure we had enough ammo.
