    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.

      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.

      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.

          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.

                      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...

                                  Might not be a bad idea in the event of a natural disaster. At least a few days in case there is an issue.

                                    That's probably true even for those who aren't paranoid. Having a gas generator and a few jugs of drinking water would probably be a godsend when electricity goes out for a few days which is not at all uncommon even in civilized areas.

                                      We don't really get natural disasters here. The most is a bit of flooding - because, you know, it rains a lot - but I don't remember the last time the power went out, I don't think it's ever been out even for a day, and water/gas have never been out. The UK isn't on a fault line, so we get no earthquakes or volcanoes, there are no hurricanes or anything like that.

                                      It would be a terrorist attack that broke down the whole infrastructure but honestly no terrorists have even come close to doing anything like that in a developed nation, and there's so much redundancy built in to the networks that it would be hard to take everything down at once.

                                        We don't really get natural disasters here. The most is a bit of flooding - because, you know, it rains a lot - but I don't remember the last time the power went out, I don't think it's ever been out even for a day, and water/gas have never been out. The UK isn't on a fault line, so we get no earthquakes or volcanoes, there are no hurricanes or anything like that.

                                        It would be a terrorist attack that broke down the whole infrastructure but honestly no terrorists have even come close to doing anything like that in a developed nation, and there's so much redundancy built in to the networks that it would be hard to take everything down at once.

                                        We had our water poisoned by an accidental chemical leak. It doesn't take a tornado or earthquake to dick things up.

                                          I can think of a few areas around here that has been out of power for days.

                                          It's rare but it happens.
