Am I going crazy/Strange Concerns... (Prepping)

[Kettle]

I don't think so, they have munitions but I don't think they have any nukes there. Klong said its the nuclear stuff at GE and Floppin said its because there are two units at Brunswick... I think its a shitty map.

I'm certain the marker is for the GE site. That map is accurate, but would be better if it were more detailed. Maybe listing plant/site names.

You realize the fukushima reactors blew up because they didnt get adequate cooling water because their emergency generators flooded , electrical gear was flooded and they couldnt run their pumps, right?

I'm pretty sure the beginning of the problem was that the tsunami wiped out the generator fuel lines which were not buried underground the way they are at US plants.

lol

As you know kurb, I'm right there with ya.

Purchased some firearms, Glock 17, Beretta shottie, 30-06 rifle.

Have plenty of water, storable food, generator, back up generator, etc.

Go bags.....lots of stuff.

My wife gave me the "you are kinda nutz" look, but when she saw that gubmint "be prepared, have a plan" commercial, she did the Hmm, I guess we are ready...and thanks for remembering those feminine hygiene products"

I didn't tell her they make good field dressings.

One of the running jokes in our household is about how I keep a stash of dryer lint handy for fire starting...

[Epistaxis]

I do that too...one of the things that prompted the r u crazee look.

The Southport plant has had ongoing problems with their emergency diesel generators - the NRC has given them another 3 or so years to get the problems fixed.

i see kurb has been taking my 2014 cryptic posts from time to time seriously.

ya gotta be VERY contrarian when it comes to this. the social disorder philly mentions to me is hands down the paradigm shift if something bad happens. homework. study peoples tendancies when something bad happens like a hurricane etc. watch the news and just pay attention. what are the common jam ups? what causes skrimishes etc? basics. food and gas.

but if big things happen, you will have to avoid crowds and running with the pack for at least the first 6-9 months. have your share of supplies and stuff you may never think of. from a good ole can opener to eye glasses to basic first aid kit stuff to wire cutters you name it. at some point you will have to break into or OUT of something. better have the tools.

you know what plants you can or can't eat? which ones produces water?

if you can go somewhere and hole up for that 6 month or so window, you then get a better idea of who is left, who is in charge and who wants power. you also see who else was prepared as well as who has water. which will be mucho more precious than gold.

that means coastal towns will be over run. you will want to be at least 5-7 miles from a water source.

also, good idea to have a cb radio or two way. fema will own cell reception and bandwidth so your cool phone and apps might not last long.

don't expect your gps on your phone to help for too long. not to mention it will allow those in power to know your whereabouts.

contrarians win. im telling you.

this isn't contrarian at all right now... this is trendy as all hell.

Hey guys it's 20 degrees cooler today than it was yesterday.

It is trendy as hell, and it pisses me the hell off all those copycats out there... I'm OP... Original Prepper...

i wouldn't worry about it... the meteor is gonna hit your house...

[Bronn]

If it hits me directly in the head, the rest of you are probably safe...

So whats going to happen when preppers start running out of food in a few months and only have ammo left?

hunting, fishing...

Hell, I don't even keep many food preps... I just plan to eat other people...

So I have thought hard about this for the last year as signs point to some sort of "catastrophe" happening! There is no way population can continue to grow at this rate without some form of natural balancing. The catalyst remains unknown, however, it seems safe to say, be it civil war or natural disaster that something is coming!

Conclusions I have drawn:

-One needs to band with others in commune style and have a plan of attack

-The band needs to ruthlessly take the right items early (Given that if I awake tomorrow to find financial collapse then I'm knocking over every drug store around while people are stealing food)

-Commune needs to have members that can each bring a skill set to the table

-An abundance of Horses are needed, I have 4

-Screw buying ammo, buy the materials to make ammo(mostly for trade)

-Weed and Liquor will be a form of currency(just bought two 8 gal stills for easy transfer)

-Printed maps will be invaluable

I'm thinking of taking things to another level and reaching out to other like minded individuals of my community. If it doesn't happen in my lifetime then great, but I want to have a generational initial plan and ties in place to pass onto my children and grandchildren! Common sense tells us that it's coming!

Thoughts and ideas?
