Doomsday preppin

[Miss Shelby]

No matter who is elected to run our country from here on out, we’re fucked. So my newest passion is to doomsday prep. We have a rustic cabin where we can hole out. As I’m looking through the doomsday preppers lists on the inter web I’ve noticed that a lot of the stuff is just common sense items to stock up on in case of emergency. How ready are you all for America to fall? I realize I have a lot of work to do.

It doesn't really matter.
Unless you are already stocked up, and in your little hidey hole when the shit hits it, you will just be more fodder for the mob.
It's going to be a long Winter.

You know what I bought Lars? A spear gun. In case I run out of bullets. I sure am gonna miss my shows though. I’ll tell ya that.

you can't actually be ready for it, modern civilizations don't work that way. if the civilization falls, most of us will die and there is nothing you can do about it. possibly instead of futile efforts to "plan" for the unplannable, you should try to figure out why you tried to make it happen, and maybe see if you can do something to oppose that trend in the future?

Everyone thinks they’ll be Lord Humongous ruling from a throne of skulls rather than be part of the throne by way of a BBQ spit.

In any event, doomsday prepping is really emergency preparedness. That is what I have discovered in starting to do it.

Please replace “you” with “we” Mr. Diplomacy and stop acting like only certain people are at fault for the inevitable demise of our comfortable but unseen peril that our first world provides . Ill say I told you so right now and then you can remember it .. oh I’m guessing.. about 30 years from now.

I don't believe that.

It's easier to fight for a sane government and responsible society than to prepare for a dystopian future in which you might die alone and screaming in agony.

That being said, it doesn't hurt to be prepared for a sudden disaster. If you don't have at least 5 guns, and 5000 rounds for each one, and you are not trained and experienced with those weapons, anything else you have is just shit you gathered for the people that do have guns.

If 5 sounds like too much, at least own and know how to use and maintain a Glock 19 pistol, a 22 LR takedown that can go in a small bag, and a 12 gauge Mossberg shotgun.

Defense is only one part of survival in a dystopian future, you also have to know how to kill and prepare animals. This includes the humans that tried to take your stuff.
