TweetWell I've been through hurricanes, floods, winter storms, and even left in the woods and I'll tell ya from experience there's nothing stupid about being self suffcient. I seen people panic, I've seen grocery shelves emptied in less than a day, when the electricity goes out and their cell phones go to s#it most flatlanders are lost and dumbfounded. He had some major river flooding and what happened ? Well all the above mentioned folk got in their Escalades and Subarus and holed up in the casinos. The rest of us pulled together and provided help with food kitchens, tents, tarps, fallen trees, animals, shelters. Most of us stupid people are blue collar we hunt and we fish, we grow or raise our own food too. We are the ones flatlanders call on because the're to well to do or whatever to get their hands dirty. So we have food, generators, water, lots of ammo, and kind of a brother hood. It took the Red Cross over a week to come and all they did was take a "look see" and split, and not one of the flatlanders offered to help in anyway. Maby bring back a case of water ? a bag of apples for the kids ? some tarps or blankets ? Naw, they jus drove by and looked down their noses at us with all their horded goods they cant use anyway till the electricity comes back on. When I was left in the woods doing some winter tree cutting I was ok, I had my water filter bottle, a big garbage bag, three ways to start a fire, clif bars and clothes for the weather. It took me allmost two days to get home. When the electricty goes out I have enough to keep me and my neighbors happy for probally a coupla weeks. I dont have to make a last minute rush into town hoping there is still something on the shelves or a gas station open, or worry about the food in my freezer going bad. As for the stupid people on TV ? sure what are two people gonna with so many guns and stuff, and do some of those clowns think they are gonna drive miles in a motor home to their "bug out" in the woods ? No way, the roads are gonna be choked with the smart phone less or the ghetto city coward will take their s#it and their woman. Ha ! Sure some of that TV stuff is far out I'll agree but, there is nothing wrong with having the answer when "The s#it goes down" and your child looks to you and says daddy im hungry and im getting cold. This is just in my experience and in no way to offend anyone elses beliefs or opinions.

Tweetwell shit, i dont think we can come back from that post, this thread is done.

TweetI think its smart to be prepared for an emergency. Even if its just something small like a winter storm that knocks power out for a few days and keeps you home bound. Some of the people they portray on TV go to extremes but when a major crisis occurs they will be ready for a long haul and the vast majority of the population will suffer because they always assume the electrity is always on, the gas is always at the pump, food is always at the store and water is always on tap.
