Always buyin' more ammo. Straight up Waco 'round here.

I'm not stockpiling at all. I have a couple gallons of water and some extra cans but nothing really. And I don't own any guns so no ammo for me. Although I must admit, it is something I have wanted to buy/look into.

I agree that the country is not doing so well but I am not going to live my life in fear thinking that either the world is coming to an end or a second depression will hit. I honestly don't see it happening. If we all die in 2012 bring it on! There is no reason to be afraid of death. If it happens there is nothing you can do about it, its just your time to peace out. And if something did happen to the world or our country I would grab my longboard and paddle out to the kelp beds and eat fresh fish everyday!

i agree with sscully, im just used to having some extra food and water around for where i used to live because of hurricanes. when power would be out for atleast a week. but that just meant we would grill out everyday

 

I've struggled with this for a while. Part of me says this country will survive pretty near anything. The other half says we could be in for some serious problems.

When I lived in Connecticut, in a three family apartment, one flat was occupied by people from New York. They could not believe the raspberries I had planted were actually edible because they had not come "from the store". Those poor people will not survive very long after the "Three Day" period it takes for the stores to run out.

I'm now back home here in Montana. We hunt, fish and farm. A country boy can survive! I still insist my wife puts up a bunch of the fruits of our garden, some in the freezer, some are canned. We harvest 3 or 4 deer a year. Some frozen, some canned. If the power goes out, canned goods will last 2 or maybe 3 years without refrigeration!

We also make jellies and jam. My wife also bakes the best homemade bread you've ever tasted!

I hope and pray it never comes it it, but we'll survive whatever!

City people... learn to can food! Learn that back yard raspberries are edible! Bambi is yummy! Your stores will run out.

And, oh yeah, I stockpile ammo! Not for Apocalypse, but for when it is illegal to buy.

 

I've always wondered, how do you can meat? My great grandparents never did that. They just made jelly preserves and wine and they would cure meat in their cellar.

 

im gonna start hoarding 03 supercrews incase of an Apocalypse

 

Basically, canning is just boiling long enough to raise the temperature of the material high enough and long enough to kill all bacteria, then sealing in a likewise-sterilized container that will prevent bacteria from re-entering. Because meat is a low-acid food (more hospitable for the little buggers), you need to use a pressure canner in order to kill all bacteria -- pressure canners will boil at a temperature suitably above 100C/212F.

Plenty of links on the net; I just googled "how to can meat" and got lots of tasty recipes. But again, you MUST use a pressure canner in order to get the required temperatures, not an ordinary open-top boiling water canner like you'd use for fruits & veggies.

 

You'll need some 5.4's in your fleet. Zombies will pick out the weak 4.6's.

 

nah i need something reliable for the long haul, not the 5.4

 

Here in Utah its always been a big deal to have food stock piles.. The Mormon church has long taught there members they should be prepared that way.. I am not Mormon and don't stock pile food. The smart way to do it, that I've seen is to buy large quantities of food you eat all the time and rotate it out that way you have a stock pile and you don't end up throwing it away..

 

No I try not to fall into all the scare and worry about whats going on in DC...I live my own life and dont worry about what our politicians are doing, because its not like they ever will stand for the voice of the American people anyway. They just decide whats best for us...I hate politics

 

THIS.....


few thousand rounds of .223 will work good when we default and go into the barter system.....
