Any Preppers Out there?

Oh reciever looked like a ak, hard to tell when they are all customized up.

:iamwithstupid: It never hurts to be prepared, you should always have enough to survive for at least a week & maybe a month or 2, if you have the room & funds to do so, water, canned & dry foods "I always have GOOD BEER on hand usually", Pops is a borderline alky, so we have a half a dozen bottles of booze too... I do know some people that are set for 6 months or more {I don't think they're "Preppers", some are yuppies/preppies...LOL..., just smart, saving some cash & buy in bulk, much less trips off the mountain, I think most people who "live in the sticks" are pretty well prepared, better than the average city folk anyway, it's just the way of life in the sticks/mountains} I think that may be a little extreme, right now !!, unless **** hits the fan so to speak, I'm in pretty good company in my neighborhood... but up here, we need to prep for winters, all the time, roving power outages from snow mostly, or downed trees, all the other stuff is always covered, home security is always a prioity.... Like I said "It never hurts to be prepared" I also don't think it's a very good idea, "if **** does actually, hit the fan", to advertise on the WWW or public forum, that you have a bunch of goods for the masses to come & try to take either, a little self discipline or discretion is always a good thing too, remember it's you &/or your family your trying to protect, that's why you are stocking up on goods etc., in the 1st place....

The saiga 12 gauges actually use a variance of an AK receiver, obviously modified a little bit for the bigger shell. The big thing on it that tells me it's a 12, is the size of the magazine.

Use 1911 ...LOL.. I like that

I am also a "prepper" but I have really started to pick up my game since this re-election because civil unrest is coming. My home is stocked for 30 days. I have a bug out place that I am now starting to prepare. Once this state honors the contract that they agreed to with us (IL. Dept. of Corrections) I will be getting another weapon and a shipping container for that area.
They have sold this Country to China and one day they will come to collect so we better be ready.

 

[mopar367]

Wedge5 I agree with your thoughts on the Chinese, there are quite a few possible scenarios. I personally believe the EMP from the sun the most, frying the power grid. That doomsday preppers show gets you thinking. Although some of their reasons to prep are pretty out there.
But this end of the world stuff sure makes a good reason to collect a lot of guns and ammo .

 

[cr8crshr]

I am but not to the extent that the show depicts. Been accumulating necessities now for the better part of 4 years. Got my Bug Out route set and if need be can be on the road in no time either via motor vehicle or Horse. My advise is 2 fold here....

1. Start gathering all the food you can and store it away. Invest in Gold, Silver, Lead, and Toilet Paper
2. If you haven't already start getting off the "Grid" as soon as you can. That way when the S**T hits the Fan, you will less likely pop up because you used you cell phone, credit cards...they were the first to go...and even the Social mediums.

If you haven't already, get some firearms training as it will help with any type scenario one might encounter. Remember...the best Offense is a sound and solid Defense....

I am preparring for an EMP also. I found an interesting site for home solar and wind power anyone see it? www.earth4energy.com

QUOTE=Cranky;909813495]I threw all my guns into the Gulf of Mexico on my last fishing trip!! Seriously tho, if you live anywhere near a big city, you had better be well prepared to move to a better area (to da sticks) when the signs start showing up and I think we've had our first sign with this re-election. This country is going down hill fast imo and that's all I can say about the subject in this forum.

LMAO! Why dont you come onboard for the big win Cranky.. we'll save you a seat

doomsdayers are funny though.. been around since time began but yet we are still here.
I think doomsdaying is like Valantines day and a few other holidays invented for retail purposes. Only there to serve the capitalism gods.

If I dont buy a Roadrunner i am looking at this :

Make sure with the hand grip moved closer to the trigger you have at least 10 American made parts on the Saiga 12.

 

[womanator]

I wouldn't buy gold or silver till you have all the preps you think you might need.
I like the Mormon thought on having a years supply on hand just in case.
Living in or near city would not be a good idea if a shtf event happens.
Good read if you are concerned about a EMP event would be One Second After by William R Forstchen.
Newt Gingrich rights about the study congress appointed about Emp's at the end of the book.
It would have been front page news except it came out the same day the 9-11 report came out.

Books on financial failure-Patriots or Survivors by James Wesley Rawles.

Hope for the best and prep for the rest.

If the good lord wanted us to sit around all the time and worry about the end of the world, the 10 commandments would have been the 10 things to do before you die list.

I've had the unfortunate experience of visiting some god forsaken places on this rock and can say when it comes down to it, the human race has an eerie resemblance to rats trying to escape a flooding subway when it comes to instinctual survival. If it got to the point where you're tying to ration cans of Green Giant and Spam for a year, you better be hung up in NORAD, not your house....because a few firearms and a few thousand rounds of shells isn't going to stop what will be coming through your front door if anyone knows you have food. Kind of a blunt sickening image, but why beat around the bush, we're talking about the end of society as we know it.

God Forbid it ever gets that bad....If you can disperse from the collapsing society, hunt, fish, forage for food and water, stay on the move and travel light, you might have a chance. That's how they did it 10,000 years ago and the way a lot of folks are talking, seems like we would be winding back the clock. You didn't have cavemen stockpiling massive amounts of supplies/food, they would just be raided by other tribes. Even the native americans kept on the move...following there food source, keeping segregated. Why would this be any different? It would only be worse because most folks have no clue how to provide for themselves without a friday paycheck, minimall's, and their iphones. Their first notion of pure survival would be take from you. Again, sad to say it, I know others disagree, but IMO if it came down to a catastrophic disaster........Don't rely on others, don't be known and don't expect life to be easy ever again.

I'm telling you right now if you see Tina Turner and Mel Gibson teaming then we're headed to Bartertown and Thunderdome
Break a deal spin the wheel !

 

[womanator]

I miss spoke about the Saiga shotgum with the pistol grip.
922r states that an imported semi auto rifle can have no more than 10 parts made outside the USA.

:iamwithstupid:I'm Prepping for a big woop-up let's see HMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm Whisky,Vodka,Rum,Gin & a **** load of beer! Does that count??:headbang: bring on armagedon and leave CBC setting your pants on fire:angryfire:

 

[mopar367]

I like the way Propwash explains it. I think when the time comes I'm going to get ripped drunk and sit in a lawnchair, in the front yard and yell bring it on earth.

 

[bigredbird]

^ Yep, just go stand on the beach like that chick and her dad in the movie, and wait for the tsunami to end it all quickly. Better than a shoot-out with hundreds of starving invaders...

 

[wedge5]

Well there you have it folks. We should all give up because PropWash said so.
Being a prepper is just another hobby just like working on cars and racing. Keeps the mind working and I get to buy more toys.

Hey Jack.....I didn't mention anything about just laying down and dying. Maybe reading comprehension isn't your strong suite, but if you're going to quote someone, better get the facts straight. I mentioned (in my own opinion), that if you're cooped up in your matchbox house with 147 cans of Campbell's Tomato Soup to skate by the end of days, you gotta another thing coming. Honestly all it would take is one match to burn someone out and pillage all the food. Bunker...maybe you'd survive, but you're gonna run out of fresh air; which it would be easy to smoke/suffocate someone out if they had some sort of fresh air ventilation system. Wet pine needles/wet dried grass makes a hell of a plume.

See, if it comes down to it, i'm not the guy that would be banging on the door trying to raid your 3 year Cheeto supply, but there will be folks that would. I'm sure there are many more smart in the ways of tactical infiltration that could crack any preppers preparation, and they would. I'm the guy that would disappear in the sticks we have up here and rely on the natural instinct to hunt, fish, gather and utilize temporary shelter. I do it quite often anyways and they did it successfully not that long ago, so there's no reason it can't be done now. If nature falls.......well, I don't even want to think about that.

 

[shag766]

Kind of along the lines as "Y2K" that one really fizzled.

no ****. here's a good one. i sell product to our biggest air base, trenton, ont. all supplier's had to be y2k compliant by dec 01/99 to do business. 35 to 40,000.00 dollars later and prove i was and nothing happens.
