We got any Preppers here?

  • Wtf is a prepper

  • Oh doomsday prepper.

    I tend to keep a few spare cases of water on hand, but that's about it.

    Only because that one time in Toledo they had the whole "don't drink the water thing" because of algae blooms. Water literally everywhere was sold out in like a 20 mile radius and growing - eventually they were able to supply it though.

  • I have enough food and water for me, the wife, and the pets for about 6 months. Lived through the water crisis from the spill in the Elk River and the madness from the power going out from the derecho and decided that being prepared was a good idea.

  • We are. Nothing elaborate. Common sense minimal prepping. Water, some stores of food...

    I have a hobby of drying fruits and vegetables. It's fun, and they keep for months.

    We munched on em when we took our trip to Texas (via West Munroe, saw Phil Robertson

    up close at their store)...

    It's a hobby. I just read a great book - The Complete Guide to Edible Wild Plants"...

    found out that cattail heads can repel mosquitoes when burnt....

    We want to take a trip out west, to Yellowstone, going camping

    with friends in late Sept, want to go hiking this fall with our friends in NC.. We have firestarters,

    survival equipment on a small scale. want to try making coffee with chickory roots.

    We love to explore, and aren't going to go hiking and camping in 90 degree weather - that's finally over.

  • Bring a big bore for yellowstone

  • I don't think my 9mm would do much to stop a grizzly unless I got lucky and scared it away

    with the sound... maybe several rounds in the chest. Those suckers get huge.

    I'd have bear spray, no doubt.

    Yep. Same here as a result of the 2012 July derecho and hurricane Sandy, also in 2012. Plus, I and my in-law uncles,

    nephews, and a couple of nieces are hunters. Lots of shotguns, high-powered rifles, and a couple of crossbows.

  • I have a few extra sets of guitar strings.

    Excellent. We're going to need entertainment after the apocalypse. You may enter the bunker.

  • I've thought about crossbow hunting. A hunter, great guy, solid good hunter, hunts deer with one

    on the neighbors woods. He says he'll lend me one of his bows to deer hunt this fall.

    Seems like I'd rather blast one and have them dead. It bothers me that they could still run for

    a good number of yards with an inaccurate hit, so, ...

    He talked to me on his way out one time. I went for a walk, and he had moved to the front side

    of the neighbor's woods...and my trail went right past him on our property. I walked out there

    looking to stalk some squirrels, I got near the bridge over the creek, and saw him up in the tree.

    I actually stood there with it getting to be dusk. And when he went to climb down and go home..

    he saw me and was laughing, he couldn't believe I could walk that quiet. I love the woods, could

    sit out there for hours if the Wife was running flip house errands or visiting her Dad in Texas or something.

    The last time was when they went to an overnight scrapbook seminar...

  • I have a big shoebox full of cranberry dried beans I grew last year and the year before.

    Just have to soak them overnight...they are excellent.

    Love you steve. ?

  • I have a gutter-fed cistern and a wateer purification system. Plus I essentially live on a farm and have a gun for hunting. I'll be ok.

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

    Ha! All the city hoods will be coming to the country to rob you all when the shit goes down. You're nothing but a farm for the rest.
