I think it ALL depends on the type of disaster. If I can forage for shellfish and pop a deer now and then fine but if I can't drink pond water and it's a contamination type issue then I'm screwed. I don't think I'm gonna become a prepper but I could be better prepared. Rice, Beans, Pasta and water are straight forward but where would you get protein in bulk. Oh Christ were all screwed!!

Cool topic. A quick shudder of aingst dictates some anxiety medication. bongsmilie

Any athletic supplement store. Whey protein in 5 lb jugs , along with egg albumin protein and soy protein. Piece of advice , forget the MREs , the various meal replacement Bars are much more calorie and space efficient. They also have less telltale trash to dispose of and are very handy in a stealth situation where you have to move fast and maintain light and fire discipline , keep in mind how far off a fire can show.

And " living off the land " is a complete fantasy for most folks , they haven't the skills to even come close to doing so.

so since the winter was so warm for most places do you think its going to be really hot this summer? possible hot enough to cause food shortages? would you be prepared for this? also another one would you be prepared if the electricity went out for maybe weeks and everyone started looting stores and shit. would you be prepared to eat and survive without going out into the chaos that would be in the streets?

And if I or someone like me catches you at it you'll of course run , which mean that you'll just die very , very tired.


And don't even bother coming back at me with your miniature pecker swinging , we've already seen how much you know about firearms in the other thread , you're even more ill-informed on this subject and you exhibit EXACTLY the same attitude as the current criminal classes.


The fact that you'd even troll about this says ALL that really needs be said about you.


Oh and that " Family Praying In The Corner" ..........all Christians aren't Pacifists clown , I really hope you run into a bunch who aren't.

You can build a solar oven out of a cardboard box & some tinfoil, that will cook just about anything you can get into a pot! You can purify water with it too.
Also, I keep a few large bags of charcoal around, you would be suprised how much you can cook with just a few briquets (outdoors of course)

The one doomsday senario that makes me sit back & go Humm?, is the Solar flare thing. If the Sun can really fry everything in one day (and they say it can). And they can't restart things quickly, things would get ugly as soon as the food in the stores ran out. Luckly that senario would give 24hrs notice!
For most emergencies (earthquake, flood, locust) I have 2 months water & food & I would hunker down & defend for a few days/weeks.
But a solar flare could take out the entire society support system. I live in a city, & that's too close to 100,000 hungry people to stay & defend.
With 24hr notice of a sure hit sun flare, I'm heading for the hills. I'm gonna try to put 200 miles between me and any city. I keep my 4x4 truck & camper full of gas & propane. I can load 2 months worth of food & be gone in a few hrs. I know some quiet stretches buy a river full of fish, miles & miles from any city.
If it turns out to be nothing, I'll turn around & head home. If not? Well I think most of the carnage will happen pretty fast & furious. After a couple months most will be dead, one way or another. Probably nothing to go back to.
But I can sleep either way.

They are watching it very closely now, 24/7. This last solar flare, they gave us a 24hr notice. I'll be gone in 3-4hrs!

Good luck

I think the solar flare would hit 1st world countries hardest.
3rd world & the Amish wouldn't even know it happened!
We're all to dependent on "the system" to feed us.
As soon as the food delivery trucks stop, we're fucked!

Maybe you should go out and TRY the above before spouting it's benefits. By the way solar stills are next to useless too , and you DO NOT get water out of a Barrel Cactus.

You can do a search on youtube & watch dozens of videos of solar ovens in action. They work very well!
And a solar water heater works good too. A black plastic bag with water, left out in the sun!
