Hey kids was just brain storming and was curious how many people are preparing for "the event" whatever that may be. This isn't a political based thread just a "are you aware" type deal. Lots of things going on around the world that just seem suspect. I've been doing research on different topics just for I eat poos and giggles and things are really looking bleak. I know, I know, paraniod maybe? I just don't want to be caught with my pants down if "the event" takes place. I know some peeps feel the sameway I do, but was wondering how many others also are clued in. Me I haven't started "preparing" been to self absorb in living but I think it's time to make afew preparations. I have learned that the popular opinion around the net from people who research this type of stuff is, not IF but WHEN. Knowone knows WHAT the event maybe but it's coming. Kinda creepy IF you believe in the government cover ups and the NWO ect ect ect.........Peace.

Some interesting topics to check out
Haarp. HIGH ALLTITUDE AURUAL RESEARCH PROJECT
Nasa's PROJECT BLUE BEAM very very wierd chit.

There was a show on HAARP...it was trippy. Ventura was the host for it.

what kind of prep could even help you last more than a few days at best? Guns and ammo? give that up...you'll never be able to hold off a mob...food? the mob will take that....leave the area? you ever tried to get out of a metropolitan area on a holiday? times that by a thousand and you'll have gridlock on your street. live...try to be happy....hope for the best.... wait till mexico goes into civil war....then we may get a good idea on what to expect...my 2 cents..great topic...

Have you been stopping the ice cream man every time he drives down the street?

Yea he really was limited on time though. Hard to cram info into an hr show. You think thats trippy? Read up on the Blue Beam project. Better get your TIN FOIL HAT ready.

BWHAHAHAHA no thats the BLUE BELL PROJECT.........

True I did get to witness first hand the exodus out of the Houston area in preparation for Hurrican Rita. Total chaos. We moved to Arizona just for the reason stated above. We live at the base of the Superstition mountains so I can run and hide there. Lots of abandoned mines that run everywhere. lol.

Did you hear and watch the arms treaty meeting? The way obama was tlaking sure sounded like a NWO agenda....it gave me a wierd feeling listening to it.

Hey what you tryin to say WILLIS? This thread is gonna spiral outta control.

I've already come to terms that the NWO is real. The only thing keeping them in check is the population is to big. Reagan, Bush SR. Bush JR and Obama all have spoke directly or in round about ways about the NWO. I'm only 36 so I cant remember before Reagan lol.

Most people have no idea how to prepare for disaster. Ferfal is a good common sense commentator.

You should be able to defend your property from looters. They will move on to the next house that isn't armed and can be easily taken.

Being prepared is just common sense. Natural and man made disaster is not a matter of if but when.

A few months worth of vital meds is a must I believe (if you take them). A few weeks or months worth of food that you rotate with your normal groceries won't cost you anymore over time and you will be glad you did.
We used to get snowed in for weeks an a time and it would take the county or the farmers a while to clear the roads to get out.

You don't need generators and gas. You need water, food, a way to defend yourself and your family etc.

Guns? Check.
Foodstores? Need work, I get hungry.
Gridlock on the street? Not a problem with 4wd and empty federal land right next to my house.

The Second Coming, revolution, WWIII, Zombies, SOMETHING is going to happen soon.

To be completely honest... I have thought about it and do think about it.

I haven't done enough though. Other than packing away some ammo, I haven't done much. I do agree, though, that most of us who live in/around a metro area will be pretty much screwed. I remember reading that a few peeps on here have bought themselves pieces of property out in the sticks in AZ and such. Might not be a bad idea...

Yup. There are many "survivalist" forums out there with a ton of good information. I believe having enough supplies to last a few months on your own is a wise investment.

Not being able to defend your family is irresponsible. The "I'll go ape shti" is not a reasonable reaction when the time comes.

In a 1000 years where will we be as a species? Still a bunch of disparate tribes killing each other over religion and politics or a species evolving and expanding beyond our planet into the universe. As we have evolved from 1 cell organisms mired in the ooze, shouldn't we continue to evolve beyond our terrestrial border and become the dominant species of the universe?

Seems at some point, we will have to become one voice if there is to be any hope of the human race continuing.

Is now the time?

Wow I thought I was the only nut that thinks this way lol. Like Rockwood said. It's good to live next to Gubment land. I got the Tonto National Forest to hide in if need be. My wife on the otherhand thinks I'm a fruitcake for thinking something is in store for us. I'll have her read this lol. Maybe she'll get a clue.

I have kids so the protecter mentality is double. My list that I need to work on and everyone should start something just in case.

Weapons and ammo
Can goods
first aid
water
water perification pills
hand held scanner with extra batteries (rechargbles)
portable solar charger
survival knife
HAIR FINGER TRIGGER

-Gridlock....Check!
-Family and Supply Transport......Check!
-Get the F*** out of my way.......Check!



Like others I have the guns and ammo thing sorted out. Supplies could be better ATM but I figured if something happened tomorrow I'd just take from "Joe Easy Target" to supplement

After all that, head to the hills Wolverine style

Theirs a guy down the street from me that has one of those military spec troop trucks eff'n beast.

Put a cattle pusher on the front and armor it up a little and your ready to roll. Not bad for 3-8k, nice to have "Just in case"

***Insert A-Team Music***

Is now the time? Perhaps some think so. I think we are still very far from it.


Let me ask another question that is a prerequisite to that time. If we are to drop all borders and just be one race, are you prepared to support not only the 47% who currently don't pay taxes, but also the 40% globally who are below the poverty level and near starvation? Mexico has it bad enough, now factor in all of Africa and tons of other countries scattered across the globe that are still 3rd world cesspools.

I don't see how we are going to travel the universe with warp drive if we still can't grow enough food and get it to those in need. While I think Gene Roddenberry was a genius and visionary, I don't think he ever addressed money and commerce in the Star Trek series. Unless he was even more of a genius, and the lack of certain races in the future was not an oversight.

I have some friends that have SERIOUSLY stocked up on all the above. I could not believe it when I saw it, but just after a SHORT time looking at info they had and reading books, I was hooked. I totally think that they hit it on the head and are 10000% on the right path.

If you have not read ATLAS SHURGGED, it is a must read. I swear it'll change your way of thinking. It is a LONG BOOK but well worth it. It was written in the 1920's but holy cow what a read. I truly think they were talking about TODAY and Obama.

Right now if the SH!T hit the fan, I think that we'd be bad off but we are getting back on our feet after a rough year and I am goingto start stockpiling food and ammo.

Sounds like a good read:

"Atlas Shrugged is a novel by Ayn Rand, first published in 1957 in the United States. This was Rand's fourth, longest and last novel, and she considered it her magnum opus in the realm of fiction writing.[1] As indicated by its working title The Strike, the book explores a dystopian United States where leading innovators, ranging from industrialists to artists, refuse to be exploited by society. The protagonist, Dagny Taggart, sees society collapse around her as the government increasingly asserts control over all industry, while society's most productive citizens, led by the mysterious John Galt, progressively disappear. Galt describes the strike as "stopping the motor of the world" by withdrawing the "minds" that drive society's growth and productivity; with their strike these creative minds hope to demonstrate that the economy and society would collapse without the profit motive and the efforts of the rational and productive."

Two words: Population Control.

We just need to issue out like a billion people 'hunting' permits and things would be a lot better around here.

Seriously though, if something were to cause about a billion peeps to kick the bucket the affect it would have on the world with relieving stress from anywhere like growing food to rush hour would be huge. Just too many of us currently is one of the biggest problems.

I think at some point it is absolutely necessary for an "event" to occur which changes the dynamics of life as we know it today in order for our species to evolve. Without it, extinction will be natures only recourse as with the dominant species of the past.

How prepared can you really be? All the guns, food and ammo in the world won't help you in the most extreme scenarios and might in less extreme scenarios only perpeptuate the status quo for the human race.

As humans, evolution (or whatever force you believe in) has given us the gift of enlightenment.

We really should think about using it sometime for something other than destruction of ourselves.

lots of big talk and "I got guns and a big truck" that makes me laugh...you'll get about two blocks before a few nut jobs shoot you out of that truck and take everything you got....your best best is to step aside....let them take it and blend in...you start firing shots and you are done for.....start driving around at all is just asking for it....during the L.A. riots the were throwing bus stops through windows and shooting anything that came by....get real...and when they are done in the city were you think they are going to go? thats right...towards your open piece of land....

Thats why you go out in the middle of EFFING NO WHERE with all of your stuff and family. Letting them take your stuff and blending in means they live and you die. Survival of the fittest, since evolution seems to be a hot topic, isn't just who has the most guns and biggest trucks, its about being the smartest with your resources, and out smarting those dim wits who try and take what is rightfully yours.

My "big truck" is 2wd, so that's out. We'd take the wife's Xterra, which like the Jeep in your signature, could fit down the smaller trails where there are less people.

Hopefully, I'd be long gone by the time the mobs got here, with plenty of escape routes. I don't live on open land, I live in a middle class tract housing development that borders empty government land. I would literally have to drive past 3 houses before I was there, so it would be one of my neighbors that shot me as I drove by. I live in east county San Diego, so I wouldn't have to drive through much civilization before I disappeared into the woods. When I saw the LA riots, I didn't see any houses that were on the edges of development burned down, I saw a bunch of stores, etc, that were ransacked.

Either way, I've got a young child and a wife, so blending in with mobs that ransack neighborhoods would be difficult and contrary to my values. In the sticks, I could easily keep the people I didn't recognize at a distance, not so if I stuck around with the crowds and blended in.

caught an old movie with a young frankie avalon called "panic in the year zero" black and white, looks like early 60's, very trippy about this kind of stuff.

Not if but when...

Stocking up on food and ammo is one thing-becoming self sufficient is even better. And for those who think "you can't store more than a month or two of food", you'd be very surprised. More importantly though, what will you do when that food you've stored runs out?

Just remember, people lived and made it through thousands of years without the conveniences we have today. The closest you can come to making it through without needing them is how you become prepared. A source for water if the taps aren't running, a secondary heat source if in an area that experiences cold, something for light and then something to replace those sources if need be (again, self sufficient not dependent on batteries, etc), food that won't spoil 24 hours after the electricity goes out. There are also different "things" to be prepared for-anyone in an area that experiences natural disasters be it flood, hurricane, earthquake, should think about a "bug out bag" for each person in the family-but then there is also being ready for bigger events that could occur on a national or international scale. This is one of the things that started me "preparing" in the fall of '08....seeing people shortly after the Galveston hurricane bitching and complaining about help not getting there fast enough. These were people who did not lose their homes, weren't flooded out and had basically a weeks warning as to what was coming and still had done basically NOTHING to get through the first couple days! Some people think no event in our age would really cause "long term" turmoil-look at Ferfal's blog, read about Argentine and what it "was" and then tell me that the same just couldn't happen here...

Craniacs-dismiss everyone's comments all you want but I'd rather have a fighting chance at survival for my family and I than no chance at all. I do agree the planning on just shooting your way through a mob or driving through it probably isn't the best idea. Not to say some "tough guys" won't make it through but personally my money is on those who are smart, calm and prepared with plans in place to handle different calamities and unrest being the ones who make it through in the best shape.

BTW AJ if you look around there are a lot of threads about this kind of stuff around on this board...

The people that have nothing to lose will give up all to take everything you have. Do you think a group of the "fittest" is going to care about you and your family? Or is he (or them) only going to care for himself? If they want your supplies, I think they will do what ever it takes to get it from you. In my opinion, I think it's would be a safety in numbers kind of thing. Maybe we can start building on the Glamis Dunes Compound. Have you seen the movie Mad Max? The bad guys didn't have families they were trying to protect. All they wanted was to get what they needed to survive and they didn't care if it meant killing the weak. Your families and you can hide in a cave for years hoping that no one finds you and bothers you. I might be one of the weak because I couldn't see myself killing another human just because I need their supplies to survive. I think we need to get that compound together if this is getting close to the end.

x2. I'm not gonna be the gunfighter I'm gonna try to live by out smarting my foes. I might look into some books about living off the land, that would be a good start also. People survived for decades without COSTCO and WALMART I'm sure we could again. Being informed is the key, the desire to live and the knowledge to survive will be the key if the chit goes down.

I'll see what I can dig up.

http://ferfal.blogspot.com/


Dig around on Ferfal's site. Look thru the archives, lots of good stuff, practical and real world.

pffffft no problem I am just going to show up at Julies house.

I don't think you could prepare enough. Survival of the fittest means that if you and your family have something that I need to survive, I would kill you and your whole family to get it.

Like I said, I'm probably one of the weak and couldn't kill you (maybe).

I'm just going to try and be happy until and if that day comes. Maybe the wrong thing to do but, I don't think I could store enough to keep me going for more than a month, let alone fight off more than a couple groups. With my luck I would probably get bit by a rattlesnake and die before I could use any of my stash.

Just to put it out there, remember me because incase anyone wants to start that compound, I make and design water treatment systems. I could be useful to you.


edited for spelling.

I just noticed you are from AJ like me. Welcome to the forum.

Chris

LOL yup good ole DISFUNCTION JUNCTION....

I know you might not be saying "you" as me personally and I am in no way going to tempt fate but you might be very, very surprised to find there are lots of people ready for someone to try. And when I say "ready" I'm not talking about having lots of guns and ammo but psychologically and emotionally prepared to do whatever it takes to not fall victim to someone with your mindset.



PS...edited to add: See? I already scared you enough to make you change what you had wrote

my bug out bag is ready, i learned survival skills when i was kid.

Now I'm that guy??? All because I left out the n't. Maybe the Black Racer Truck guy was misunderstood for something left out.

By the way, that mind control stuff you got is good.

That n't made a big difference though...gotta be on your toes

It's a woman thing

yep, you guys are paranoid.

That's pretty $hitty attitude..
Sounds like you'll just be one of "them"?
There is strength in numbers. Family and friends needs to stick together..
They can try leaving the cities but there will be plenty of "mountain" folk to pick them off...
We have 2 plans and enough food and medicine for several months.. Our group would be able to fight off a small army..
Imagine if everyone congregated at the pound... You still think all the low life will come effing with them?
