    Learning to read the News between the lines, like in any totalitarian regime...

    If the original attacker had been Irish, the propganda bubble would have fallen all over itself, to make that point.

    HIGH PRIORITY PREPPING PRIORITIES....????

    Depends oin location. Some locations defense is critical. Other not as much. Others need to move to a retreat others are already there. So between food/water/shelter its hard to pick one. Defensive gear in combination with physical fitness or at least health are also critical.

    Concern about missing members

    Yeah, sorry. I got very discouraged from the whole prepping thing, when I injured myself summer of last year trying to get back into shape. Havent gotten back on the horse since then and am now weak and slow. It has discouraged me quite a bit. Been doing a lot of post-apocalyptic video gaming...

    EMP

    I am pleased to hear our transformers are so well protected. I did not wish to be cavalier about EMP but anything that is at the end of a long time should be vulnerable to EMP. I believe we will all find out in good time. In any event the 2nd and 3rd order effects will be catastrophic even if...

    (I cant find the Transportation forum in the forums index anymore, so am posting here) What, is he crazy? Bear with me: I had it stored in a hermetically sealed high end jerry Can ( the real NATO spec Wavian ) So no light fractions could escape...

    Shtf scenario?

    My primary concern is our counttry's slow slide into 3rd world status, as expereinced by Venezuela in the past 25 years, due to socialist/communist/neo-marxist (take your pick) policies.

    What I loved about Spaghetti westerns was...

    the grittiness. In Hollywood Westerns everyone looked like they just stopped out of the cleaners and a barber shop. Every man was clean, and healthy looking and recently coiffed. Totally artificial and unbelievable. Suspension of disbelief not really possible for me (unless as a child that...

    Today, Saturday I just bought a couple grand worth of Silver

    Actually Gold and silver are now pretty much at their pre crises levels. What does this mean? Since the dollar lost approx 20% of tis value since then, they are actually a fantastic value to buy! Imagine being able to buy Gold and +silver at (almost) pre crises prices.
