I know what you mean, it's all depending on who's wearing them!! Hopefully the pictures will come out right on this. I wouldn't mind seeing this person in some.

That's OK James, Ill be your friend and as luck would have it, I know one or two a big morons (have even be called one myself, but I won't be batting for the other team any time soon). All you need to supply is the chains and arseless chaps. See you out at Silverton...

My disaster plan was recently validated during Tropical Storm Isaac. It's pretty simple, disregard the fear pimps in the main stream media; as a general rule, it will never be as bad as they say it will be. Make sure you got a few gallons of fresh water, plenty of beer, a good flashlight, some spare batteries and at least half a tank of gas in the family truckster. IMHO, as beetleheaded and assanine as the human race can be we seem to be a pretty resiliant lot. Come what may, we seem to survive to continue the buffoonery.

Well laddy... You only need to trust in three,: Self; King James, and Uncle Sam. And you'll be cool!

You're already living in australia. How much worse could a post apocalyptic world be? You're practically living in one already

No problem Mick, the chain I can get at the hardware store. As far as arseless chaps, I live two hours from San Francisco, it's pretty much the center of the fashion world when it comes to arseless clothing!!

Jimbo,
I'm not sure how it works "Down Under", but be careful taking Mick's advice if you get caught in the States during the Apocalypse. Wearing arseless chaps in Idaho or Texas will get you mounted on the wall.

...then on the other hand; wearing arseless chaps in San Fransisco, Oakland or South Beach with get you mounted just about anywhere.

I have on hand the following for my son & I:
Drinking Water (sealed & stored) for 2 1/2 months.
Food- 2 meals a day for 5 months
Medical supplies.
Weapons, of course, training with all on the list, twice a year.
Select tools & equipment at a state of ready.
NBC pack for "3" individuals, ALWAYS accessible within 2 minutes.
Neck Safes for 2 (my son & I)
A GHB (Get-Home-Bag) in the vehicle at all times.
1-Life Pack ( I'm not too crazy about the term Bug Out Bag)
A handheld GPS with "3" evacuation routes already programmed, from South Florida to Texas.

3 written evacuation plans with alotted time limits of 20 minutes, 1 hour & 24 hours.
A shelter in place plan.

....thanks to Birnando, I made a case like his for my hones, just snatch them and go.

A man after my own heart!

ps: I use the term "Zombie Apocalypse" jokingly now to show that it doesn't really matter what the cause actually is, a simple cutoff from electricity and essential services can create turmoil..

How did ya' like their wood burning apparatus substituting for gasoline? That was friggin' awesome.....I think I took some notes somewhere....

Prepped? That's none of your business.

You have to think about a few things: Most of us consider our home our castle, be it stocked or not. Do you have a plan to get back home lets say if a few EMP's went off in the upper atmosphere of your country? Remember, everything electronic is fried. Second is that a loner, no matter how prepped, doesn't have near the chance that a group of like minded individuals would have. A lone wolf may survive, a community would prosper...

A favorite quote from Louis Pastuer: "Chance favors the prepared mind."

What I am getting at is even if you are "stocked up" with all the essentials, is your mind ready & most of all, have you tested yourself?

A disaster lasting more than 45-days would be really a disaster as the stockpiles would run out and surviving would really come into play...
