Hey, even those stacks of newspaper, any unwanted mail etc can be shredded, put into a bucket, mash down, cover with water and add in a little laundry detergent. Let soak overnight and then put in a mold to make bricks, squeezing out excess water. These can be used as fire starters and burn for quite a long time. One mans trash is another mans prepping treasure. If one puts their mind to it, you can usually find a use out of something.
 
I guess I learned to not waste things from my parents.
Both raised on farms, livestock, gardens, canning, preserving, etc.
Dad often spoke of his dad giving the boys a gun, shotgun, or .22 and just
two rounds.
Better come home with the ammo or two things for dinner.
If they missed they'd better run something down and beat it to death!
Groundhogs weren't shot. They DUG them out with a shovel!
When I was a kid there was a general store down the road.
"Down the road" was 7 miles and we walked.
That store sold shotguns shells and .22 ammo by the round!
If someone bought a whole box they were suspected poachers.
That was some 60 years ago.

Raised with almost nothing might be why I cherish what I have now.
I have plenty.
I'm afraid they might quit making guns, ammo, etc.

I've often used newspaper for mulch in the garden.
Keeps moisture in and weeds down.
Biodegrades.
 
IF one MUST shoot someone that is a threat the " I feared for my life and the lives
of my family" is the best thing to say then SHUT UP!
Here's what to do.
"I'm just sick and need to go to the e.r."
Then GO!
Be as nervous as a dog pooping razor blades.
Get a shot of "calm me down", Valium, whatever, and go to sleep, call
lawyer a.s.a.p.
We police officers had that down pat.
I never shot anyone. Most police do not.
Thank gawd.
I sure as heck mixed it up with a lot of miscreants.
13 serious injuries and disabled.
By the way. Mace (tear gas stuff) often won't work.
I maced a woman I didn't want to harm and she just got really pissed.
I was lucky and only had to restrain her.
But the mace sure worked on me!
Had to drive her to jail with my head out the window.:confused::confused:
One of my guys shot a ethnic running from a rape.
The victim was in her 80's!!!!!!!!!! PERVERT!
Cop shot the guy in the leg.
We searched for a weapon in the grass and found 3 straight razors,
2 knives, and a .25 auto.
Hum???????????? How'd they get there?
 
Oh! I interviewed the rapist at the e.r. who was in gross pain.
He refused to i.d. himself.
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo...............
I unplugged his I.V. and cut off the morphine.
He talked!

Was that fair???
And just what does fair have to do with anything?
We don't deal with choir boys ya know.

If it were your grandmother that got raped you'd be happy the
"suspect" went to prison also.

By the way.
When that guy got out of prison he went back to being an azzhole and someone
shot him in the head.
Bury one, lock one up.
Ohhhhhh, well.
 
That is a very common thing with 'ethnics'. Rape of very old women and assault on the elderly. Not sure why.

I believe because they are vulnerable.
Or at least appear vulnerable.
They even prey their own kind.

Man the horrible things I've seen.

I recall and ethnic woman that thought her man was cheating.
Of course he was.
She found out where and took along a 12" butcher knife.
She didn't hurt him, she stuck the knife in her............., ahem, ah,......
well where his thing had just been.
She left it there too!
We got there to a real bloody mess.
First aid?? DIE!
I ain't going anywhere near that thing.
The e.m.t.'s came and just wrapped her up in the bed sheet and transported.
She almost croaked. Many units of blood.
Of course her insurance covered it.
WHAT INSURANCE?

Our tax money at work. Again.
Then there was the ethnic gentleman that caught his woman cheating.
Dowsed her in gasoline and lit her up.
She lived but was an awful looking thing.

The ethnic woman that took a bath in drain cleaner to look white.
UGLY. She basically dissolved.
My good friend and sometimes informant named Bea.
Her man stuck a butcher knife in her heart.
It was a Sunday when I got called out to investigate a homicide.
I rolled the slab out of the morgue and.......................

it was Bea.

I went hunting determined to shoot the bastage.
I always worked alone.
I found him in an abandoned house in the attic.
He was cowering and had pissed himself.
I just took him by the hand and led him out like a whimpering baby.
He served 2 years for manslaughter.
Go figger.
Alcoholism, p.t.s.d., depression,...................................
Wonder why?

Ask me about the night I found 3 neighbor teens dead on the road Dec. 23rd.
Merry Christmas.

I had to tell the parents!

Or the night a nut walked through the Chrysler Twinsburg plant and killed
13 and wounded a score more.
Shot at me 2 X at 5 FEET and missed.
I firmly believe he just didn't want to shoot me.
I don't know why and never will.
P.T.S.D., depression, now a bit bi polar..........................I earned it.

I like being bi-polar.:confused:
We get along, always agree with one another, one tells the other it's o.k.
to drink again but the other wins the argument.:D
 
Did I mention the ethnic woman that caught her man cheating and threw
lye in his face?
Blind forever.
Well, scum is scum ya know.
Not all are like that however.
I knew some dandy blacks that went to college and did well and lived
in white neighborhoods.

Nice folks.

Psychotherapy, A.A., and most important to me ...............God.

Why I'm not in a mental ward is beyond me.
 
If you wonder why I post this stuff .............

I'm obviously a survivor.
I love being prepared. It's just sensible.
I want people to know what some police officers endure.
Many places, large and small, are literally war zones.
The next call for service could be the last call ever answered.
 
ditto,i'm just saying anyone with stores that the unprepared get to know about will be branded a hoarder, I believe it happened in WW2 and it will again.


WWII saw rationing.

Without a ration card you didn't get much, specially gasoline, bullets,
gun powder, ..............

This is where margarine came from.

Butter went to the military.

So did Hershey bars.

WWII is where the "Victory Garden" came from and spurred a new revolution
back to small gardens.

Even city parks were planted in veggies and serviced by the community.

My dad and 3 brothers were in combat.

All came home.
All wounded.

Don't tell.

I don't.
No one but me and select adult sons know what guns, ammo, I have
and where they are.

And "yes" I have a will made out spelling out who gets what.

The ones that get guns and ammo and other equipment are unlikely to
dispose of any of it.

The ONE liberal butt wipe gets NO guns, just bucks.
He's the oldest and his wife is a twit.
 
HEY!
Call a spade as spade.
It is what it is.
My daughter has more fortitude than the oldest.

My oldest son's daughter married a muzzie!
 
You should have "public stores" and "private stores" of food. Let them come and take the public stores. Beg and plead to keep a little for yourself. Act like you are going to be destitute if they take it away. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT use food from your private store for barter. Don't eat more than necessary to keep you and your family alive and well. If you don't lose weight, it will draw attention. Be seen bartering or scrounging for food even if you don't have to.

OPSEC folks

OPSEC
 
"You should have "public stores" and "private stores" of food. Let them come and take the public stores."
"Be seen bartering or scrounging for food even if you don't have to."

No. Not only no but 'ell NO!

Being seen as a fairy pushover? Really?

In a shtf those perceived as weak will be killed and eaten.:rocket:

OPSEC means Operation security.
Security does not mean let miscreants into your stash.
There is no such thing as a "public stash".
Sort of like saying, "here take my wife, my daughter but leave me alone with
my food and water.


"Let them come and take the public stores."bsflag

bawwwwwwww-hawwwwwwwwwww

In a real shtf situation where people are hungry, thirsty, panic stricken,
even your best buddy will slit your throat for water, a meal, your gun,
your WIFE!

In case I need goods what is your address?

Some people need survive the mean streets for a couple weeks to toughen
up a bit.
Learn what animals humans can become in short order.:confused:

If my post sounds harsh then the reader really needs to toughen up.:D

Just sayin'.


 
Now on the other hand HELPING those in need shows real character, values
and ethics.

But do not put yourself at risk if at all possible.
If there is a shtf and I'm taking care of loved ones, family, close friends,
the its ME that is the most important resource.
If one needs ask why then one needs think hard about that.
