Does anyone else watch this program? It is absolutely hilarious.
I can see having a few weeks rations, supplies, etc. However, these people have food and supplies for years.
The guy on right now has a real solid chance. He just shot himself in the thumb with his .22.
just keep track of who around you has supplies and then rob them when the time comes
make the beast with two backs the ants, I'm a grasshopper thug

Last Saturday there was some group of adult hippies who had all sorts of supplies. They felt that firearms don't fit in their belief system so they don't need them. This guy basically said "people will be nice to us when they meet our friendly community."
Sure. They would get picked off like pigeons.

They honestly thought people would be civilized and nice. Yeah right. They'd be torn apart so fast.
Three words...
Bat Shit Crazy
Mostly habaneros.
I guess I misread the title.
I love the teotwawki/wtshtf crew and threads on the gun boards
lots of fantasizing about which favorite gun they'll take with them to the hills
no idea how much water rather than large caliber ammo they will need to hump along to keep on the move
no idea how rapidly they will be shot as they approach entrenched groups who do not care about their (now meaningless) politics or beliefs
but are more worried about the intruder's drain on resources and disease carrying potential
no idea that their MRE's have a life expectancy etc etc
no idea that their (non-magneto equipped) On-Star equipped rugged ranger 4x4
will be shut off in the driveway by a satellite so there aren't mass clogs on the highways
and the gov't/military can move around
the only real approach
is to be prepared to kill your neighbors
and cook them thoroughly to kill any parasites before eating them

It's not the zombies you delicious people should be worried about. [evil]
That's why I make it a point to taste like soot and poo
I'm using this show to justify my aquisition of $140 worth of beef jerky yesterday. "Honey, just watch the Discovery Channel. We need to get ready for the economic collapse. I'm looking out for the family with all this jerky."
Other than that, it's pretty useless.
I haven't seen it yet but based on the commentary I can't wait.
The top two reasons people seem to be afraid of are hyper-inflation and a magnetic pulse bomb.
Basically the "experts" have said the chance of either occurring is very small.

fits the theme of the thread too as it's a post apocalyptic reference [thumbsup]
Yes, I suppose so

LOL, totally agree. When it comes down to the end, it doesn't matter how well stocked and prepared you are. All it really matter is how you can get to the resources you need to survive, whether to acquire it from nature or over [fill in blank]'s dead body.
Note to self: start digging the bunker in the baseball craw space. Extra points for using a remote controlled earth mover. [thumbsup]
My plan is to set up treadmill with model plane on top in the center of town. Then, while everyone is standing around debating, I raid their food stash.

That reminds me of a mythbusters on several years ago testing a plane on a giant simulated treadmill seeing if it will take off. Is that what you are referring to?
Just saw a tv commercial from the dept of homeland security urging people to put together a 72 hour "go bag".
His name was Jeremiah Johnson
they say he wanted to be a mountain man.
The story goes that he was a man of proper wit and adventurous spirit, suited to the mountains.
Nobody knows where abouts he come from and don't seem to matter much.
He was a young man and ghosty stories about the tall hills didn't scare him none.
He was looking for a Hawken gun, .50 caliber or better.
He settled for a .30, but damn, it was a genuine Hawken, and you couldn't go no better.
Bought him a good horse, and traps, and other truck that went with being a mountain man, and said good-bye to whatever life was down there below.

I posted a ?? on the gun stuff thread about bug out bags and what you would want in yours but didn't get much of a response. Zach posted about back packs but no one offered their ideas on the goodies they'd put in it. [popcorn]

I'd seen this a few days after you posted, but the conversation had wandered off by then. I was reminded of a story in The Backwoodsman magazine, in which he scoffed at all these cartridge guns as "bug out" weapons. When it REALLY hits the fan, he argued, you need a .32 cal flintlock, a bullet mold & know how to extract saltpeter from your saved urine...
Triangleforge just raised the manliness bar [clap] Kill a beast with your own urine!
Sounds like a lot of work. [popcorn] [laugh]
