There is an 18 month wait. I hope the world doesn't end by then. My name is on the wait list. Thanks Burt!
Sweet. I can't wait to race them over the piles of bones and rubble of the old world.

You can ride shotgun, assuming you have a shotgun.

i'm not like a hardcore prepper...


but it can all go to shit, in a matter of days. its not crazy to look after yourself, especially in terms of security ....


All my christmas and birthday gifts are in line with this thinking.

Are you prepping for the collapse or is collapse going to happen because you are prepping?

and eh, who gives a shit. i was pissing away quite a lot of money on beer and scotch and shit-literally pissing it away. most of the shit i'm buying now doubles as camping/hiking gear, which I do a lot of, and will be doing a lot more of.

I meant like, as more people become prepared for collapse, does that mean they are less likely participate in actions to prevent it because they no longer fear it like they once did?

Follow-up question: does owning a Fitbit really qualify as prepping?

I understand that 90% of the things these people running for president say is bullshit.


But Bernie has the right idea in his sense of urgency regarding global warming and climate change. Like during WWII the US manufacturing sector went full throttle pumping out planes and guns and shit....that type of mobilization is what is needed now to combat this potential threat to our species survival.

My dad's brothers removed the labels from every can in my parents' pantry when they were on their honeymoon, so they didn't know what was in any can until they opened it. He told the story as if there were hundreds of cans. I was going to say that maybe it's a generational thing, but I just googled Ted Cruz, and he's actually my age.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Went back to South Dakota recently and it turns out prepping is getting popular there. But so are post-middle age tattoos and facial piercings. Given the eternal affection that dried up state has for firearms, four wheelers and whatnot, I'm 99% sure that they're just becoming Mad Max. They just never show you in those movies the part where they cross the Iowa border and everything is fine

Just updated my Potassium Iodine supply, glad I had bought a new stock of MRE's recently. The prices on ebay are skyrocketing.

This was all a serious post, btw.
