Preparing for Disaster...... - Page 4

Mystere, it can be frightening if you do nothing to prepare for bad times......

And even then, in the end, " the best laid plans of mice and men............"

I have it in the back of my head that though I prefer to be gunless, I know who I'd go to should things get primitive.

Sitasmom, I would add cooking oil to your survival list, maybe even Crisco....Vitamin C., Powdered Milk. Bisquick....Toothpaste....and extra brushes  ... and a stash of gasoline......I'll be thinking up more...  

Smartphone apps!?  Bartering with video games!?  Sheesh, I guess my head went more "primitive" places like fishing hooks and line, sharpening tool, flint stone, hatchet, saw, rope, ........ and lots of duct tape!!

Think baking soda instead of toothpaste. Can be used for brushing teeth and so much more.

Daryl,

I agree.  The scenario in my mind is IF we were off grid and had no electricity!  What would you do with a DVD?  Sure, you could run a generator for a little bit but if there is no power then gas pumps don't work....I don't think. 

We have lots of fishing gear at my house and the seeds as mentioned above is an excellent suggestion!

For a year now most have been ignoring this.....MM tried a week or so ago to NICELY Post a "  read between the lines"........and I even tried to say......not talking about hurricanes or weather

The scare that gas is going up to maybe $5.00 is the first clue ...when no one can afford to got to work,,,stores lose profits, restaurants cannot keep cooking food no one buys.... the imminent  ending is  COLLAPSE>>>>>

I have a friend who has the inside knowledge and they have been yelling at me for 12 months..I do not have extra money to do stocking....I tied....but I do have my own well...HAND PUMP...and lots of butane bottles stored already......for grill use and lots of wood....ammunition and guns  HIDDEN>>>>>You need guns with clips...if you have to ward off those who are gonna STEAL  you need clips ready and loaded.
I have a pit already dug....BANG BANG   BURIED  ........VIVA LA JAHNHAUS>>>>

I need more but not enough money to go around...I just hope I can gear down and my kids are gone before it hits....not too sure I have that long...It is scarey alone to think of all this...but it must be done.

and the SOONER THE BETTER....TODAY i BOUGHT EXTRA COFFEE....AND MY SON HAS SAVED MEGA COFFEE LARGE FOLDGER CONTAINERS TO PUT THE SMALLER     PACKAGES IN TO STORE...i AM BUYING   PACKAGED COFFEE...NOT CANS...

MY MIND IS BOGGLED...YOU MUST THINK...THERE WILL BE NO GRIDS...NO ELECTRICITY...SO NO WAY TO OBTAIN GAS,,,,,,PETROL....ETC..UNLESS YOU HAVE IT STORED....ALREADY IN SMALL CONTAINERS AND ADDITIVES TO KEEP IT  USEFUL...THE LIST IS SO LONG AND IT IS COSTLY TO DO

ALL THIS...

AGAIN  THANKS  POWERHAUS:

GLAD THINGS ARE WORKING FOR YOU...(btw:  the food is horrible AT THE OLD CORNER STOMPING GROUNDS IN SANTA FE, TX..........LOL...

An old landmark  gone and the new ownership is terrible....


YR


BUT DO WHAT YOU CAN....IT MAY NOT MATTER....AND LET ME REITERATE WHAT SOMEONE ALREADY POSTED....WHEN A MEMBER OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OR   GOVERNMENT AGENCY STARTS   PREPARING THEIR FAMILIES.....HEED THE NOTE AND TAKE THE   HINT>>>

We all have a lot to do  so lets all get ready....I am thankful to MARINE MOM   who warned me a month ago....   a few chicken, a cow, a goat or two,,,few sheep....a bull and plenty of AMMO>>. Lots of  DE ...to keep bugs and feeds from being demolished by bugs.....


MAtches,   vitamins,   meds , cleaners for dogs,   corn starch for powder (body)  baking soda for cleaning teeth, mouth , and making bread.,Corn Meal,  soaps,  ..  If you put DE , food grade on the shelves where you store the flours, bins of  boxes of corn meals, etc..the bugs will not invade.........
