Can you survive the coming blackout?

[Jen]

Oh......Hello Jen


Backpack, tent, food, handgun, shotgun. Kill food, drink from clear stream fed from a hillside.

Campfire.

Away from the blackout -----> campfire keeps me company.

An EMP is possible,.but a small possibility I believe.



Joe :

Nice to see you back, Joe.

Can I survive the coming blackout?

It all depends on how it comes down.
If hubs is here with me we can survive as long as we need to.
If he's not..........I'll try to survive until he gets here and I should be able to do that. I doubt if marauders on foot will get here any sooner than hubs will.

So........ I'll not worry about it.

Are you being sarcastic right now?

no! i'm serial!

its great to be alive!!!

[MisterVeritis]

i shit in the yard, [milorganite]

trash is burned in my burn pit.

no meds.

i shoot them,,,like always.

i will miss our chats, though...

Are you familiar with field sanitation?

[MisterVeritis]

We save our poop in the outhouse and spread it on our garden.

It's no laughing matter tho. We probably will go bust at some point. A sense of humor will pull us through starvation.

How do you kill the viruses and bacteria?

I have wood but need gas to put in chainsaw
I have a place to burn wood in my house
(so I can heat my place in winter *like I already do)
and I can cook food and water no problem I have a well
that I already use (bcause I live in middle of nowhere )

I have a nafta and oil lamp and I always keep candles
I like it in winter bcuz it`s dark at 4 pm

For food ...always possible to produce my own veggies
and meat there is some farmers that live around my place will say yes to sell me farm product ....
I really need some gas to operate the machines and car

Learn to use an axe properly along with a bow saw. with those two items, you can forgo a chainsaw.

no! i'm serial!

And I'm cereal.

Very flakey.

But, to our confused colleague...I might suggest he read the Serenity Prayer. And dwell on it...no point worrying about what you cannot control or avoid.

I suspect the moneyed fools with Bug-Out Trucks and hidey-holes in Aspen or Jackson Hole, are going to be the first to go - from gaping holes in their logic, and that they're so-far removed from animal realities.

Fairly well prepared. Could always be better, cuz you just don't really know what level of SHTF is going to arise.

Are you familiar with field sanitation?

i'm very familiar with doing what i do for the last 24 years.

btw, i was kidding about shitting in my yard, although i could, as i have enough acreage to do so.

my dogs shit in their yard, their fenced in yard is about 1/2 acre.i bury that, on my property.

nobody said it would be easy, or last forever. anymore than i will...

i will abide, better than most i suppose...
