Has anybody watched this new series on NatGeo? Basically they show people who are preparing for various disasters (financial, natural, etc.) and the various things they are doing in anticipation of some global meltdown. I found it to be quite interesting. Some people stockpile guns, while this other guy basically has a job assigned to every one in his immediate and extended family such as hunting, communications, fuel prep, etc.

Another lady is more on the canning of food and growing your own self-sustaining food sources trip. She keeps bees to make honey, has a pretty much infinitely replenishing garden, and her and her family have like 700 cans of homemade canned foods and stuff and she will spend up to 7 hours a day canning and pickling food.

While I do think some of these people are a bit nutty, the subject fascinates me. My wife thinks they are all off their rockers, but I try and tell her if the poo goes down we'll last about 3 days before I have to start looting and killing neighbors for whatever they have. She thinks I'm nuts.

Good show, check it out.

That's cool, I wish I knew more about growing food and hunting. I have a flashlight, $1000, and a .45. That's my go bag..

I could live out of my truck for weeks if I had to, with the gear I have in there...

I've always been a proponent of being prepared, and have posted numerous times about it here... If you like the subject enough, I'd advise you learn all you can from publications like Mother Earth News, Complete Survivalist (this one is newer, and still just starting up), etc.

Also, if you can, pack a backpack and just start walking one weekend. See how far you can go in a day, and if you can survive a night in the woods without anything other than what you can carry in the backpack... Not only is it good physical exercise, but it is a good mental exercise.

Learn to hunt/gather with basic primitive tools that you can make yourself... Own, and learn how to fire and maintain various firearms. Instead of hoarding money or gold, invest in something practical that may come in handy on a rainy day.

Picture a world without an economy, oil, civility, etc. etc. Imagine you've been impacted by a natural disaster. Put yourself in a "what would I do if?" scenario as often as you can.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      This thread is turning into bizarro world. Most of the anti-Bryce crowd was heavily pro CJ Stroud so I am confused how that ties into any racial element.  Not saying we still don't have some of that crowd in here but it's not like the Prime Cam years where this place was rife with those types.  The anti-Bryce sentiment SEEMS to MOSTLY be rooted in his underwhelming physical stature/abilities and/or his underwhelming overall career to date. All this being amplified by the massive trade haul we gave away for him. So, technically we have missed the opportunity to draft Jaden Daniels AND passed on CJ Stroud. Fairly or not, Bryce hasn't measured up to those type of players at all.

      Because 2 coaches have not allowed him to do it.  And in a real Hail Mary scenario the throw is  further than the clip shown and likey doesn’t allow a clean setup. You can’t go over the top.  So you have to let WRs get downfield and the technical throw is going to be further and as you have to drop back to by time and likely won’t have an ideal setup.

      I can’t stand silent any longer.. He has s sickness.  It will defy any logic people try to bring.  He tried to deny us the freedom of having a negative opinion of a player simply by the color of our skin. Yet we have positive opinions of many black players  Love some of them   I guess they must be house *you know the word* if we like them   I bring it to this: let’s say you are black. are there black people that you don’t like? I brt there are.  But no white people are allowed to dislike them? Because they are maybe shitty people of shitty players or there is just something about them you don’t line. We have to drop this way of thinking.
