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

While not prepping for "doomsday", I've always got a survival pack ready, mainly for when I go hiking and such. It has rain gear, two different fire starters and light kindling, a pocket knife, a boot knife, 500 ft of paracord, water purification tablets, first aid kit, etc... I've had one packed ever since my boy scout days. Might not ever need anything in it, but it is good to have just in case.

Actually, that is a good point Theseus. We always have an emergency kit (bush fire mainly) sitting ready and updated downstairs to be grabbed at a moment's notice. We also have an emergency list telling us what documents to grab and where they are located around the house if we have time.

My wife is the National Advisor for Emergencies, so we are always organised on that score.

I've got my MacGyver Limited Edition Swiss Army Knife, a roll of duct tape, and a case of Kokanee. BRING IT ON!

I was born ready. I don't need anything other than my own, hard as nails, wiry bushmans body and my trusty knife. All I need to do is find where I last had that knife and the body I mentioned. I seem to have hidden the body under a layer or to of excess weight...And the knife...Damn it I know I have one around here somewhere!

Go Bags or Bug out Bags are pretty common for those of us that live far out of town,, In fact most of us that live in the boonies tend to be a bit better "Prepped" then most city dwellers.. Also most hunters tend to have a kit with 3 days of survival rations and gear always ready..

A bad Snow or Rain storm can easily trap us for days, so we always have food, water and supplies..

That show is rather good EXCEPT the reasons they give for being prepared those are just for ratings I hope

You are a man I wouldn't want to come across if "Doomsday" happens.

Earthquakes are the only thing to worry about in my local,got plenty of water.propane stove,extra fuel,freezer full of stuff.
After 3 days the Government will be here to take care of us

I keep more survival gear that I'll probably even require in a bug-out bag.
I have 4 very nice knives strategically dispersed around my home and vehicle, one always on my body of course.

A .22 and 30-06 with enough ammo to feed and protect my family if we're ever REALLY buggered.

I'm not planning for the end of the world, but certainly for an inevitable disaster.

Remember the video clips of Katrina? Well, that's what it's going to be like permanently. Are you ready for the howling mob when it turns down your street?

Of course they will, they did such a fine job when Katrina hit Louisiana!
