Thread: Doomsday Preppers unite...or segregate, whichever is safer.

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...

Not a Prob,I could stand to lose 30 Lbs

And fortune favors the foolish.

After 45 days it's just time to remember about the survival of the fittest.

Well, maybe that would be pushing it a bit, I loved the Mad Max/Road Warrior films. I always have wanted a Post Apocolypse crazy dune buggy, perhaps someday. And, please don't send applications of your'selves in your chaps!

Wait....that didn't come out the way I intended... [that's what she said]

WTF are assless chaps??? If they had an 'ass' they are called pants. All chaps,western or motorcycle, are belted leg coverings. What you choose to wear under them is up to the individual.

Thanks alot, people. You've just influenced me to buy 3 different survival magazines to determine which I'd rather subscribe to. I'm leaning towards backwoodsman or backwoods home. I looked at Mother Earth News and it looks to have gone completely mainstream w/ half of it trying to sell me something. I though that rag was written by hippies.....pshhhhh. Sellouts.

Assless chaps are chaps without asses. Duh!

If the worst should happen, here in Australia we would all band together, pool our resources, and create a new utopia of human endeavour and peace and love.

Backwoodsman is actually a good magazine, I doubt you will be disappointed...full of "how-to" stuff. If you are a "woodsy" kind of guy, then you made a good choice. I don't have a clue about the other one you mentioned.

I'm not sure what you are getting at here my friend...I'm foolish for being mentally prepared...mmmm....OK.

I do know that if SHTF right now, we (the wife & I) would be fine here in our little community as long as it wasn't a NBC issue & neither of us are ready for a triathlon. It's actually a comforting feeling to be ready for pretty much anything and adaptable enough to handle any situation at hand...even when HE comes I'm prepared :-)

Those that survive the 45 days are among some of the fittest. The weak and stupid will cease to be a factor early on.

I'd think that after 45 days, you'd REALLY better be on your toes.
