      2017: The Year the Great American Society dissolved.

      Is this fiction? Or Facts that have yet to be? I personally view American currently living on borrowed time, standing the shadow of our once great & beautiful Nation.

      Preppers, Do you believe the S will HTF?

      Personally, I dont believe that any significant SHTF scenario will play out in my lifetime. I do keep supplies, just in case. Just as I have health insurance even though I never expect to be seriously injured or get sick enough to need a doctor. But, I have been injured a couple of times playing...

      Preparedness Lifestyle vs Preparedness Event

      It was 30DEC99 and my son was a patient at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. He had been born in September with a serious heart defect. My wife and I were very anxious for several reasons, since he was stable my biggest fear was being stuck in the ghetto of Baltimore for Y2K. I had secured...

      SHTF Luxeries...

      I was thinking of some things that would be really useful to have for trade: wine, coffee, tobacco...vices in general. Does anyone keep any items like this stored for long term SHTF situations? Personally, I think I might get a couple of bottles of wine or whiskey to store away. If the...

      How to tell your spouse

      Another poster posted this --->HURRICANE KATRINA (thank you Shftn6)and I agree it is probably the absolute best prep/survival/rebuild site I have ever come across. Some of you have asked how to even start your spouse on the prep subject others may need a little push to actually start reading...

      Review of four "survival" books

      I spent the last couple of weeks reading through several "survival" type books and I thought that I would leave my impressions. The books are Patriots by Rawles, (along with his book howe to survive TEOTWAWKI) One Second After by Forstchen, and Surviving the Economic Collapse by Fernando...

      SHTF / Combat hearing protection

      Started looking through my BOB and realized I forgot about hearing protection. I know during a self defense situation (break in / robbery) i won't have time to put plugs in but at that time, who cares. You have to admit that firing any weapon inside a building or out of a window is going to be...

      Will you REALLY survive SHTF? Unlikely.

      After watching The History Channel tonight and the SHTF show, it raised a valid question... Think about the conditions in that show... How many of you think you would REALLY survive the first wave of a SHTF situation? Leave your pride and ego behind on this one and just think about it...

      Rhetorical SHTF...?

      Do you prepare for SHTF or just use it as an excuse to buy guns and other toys? Really tell the truth. Do you spend just as much money and time learning trades like smoke meats, and setting traps. Transferring energy, and basic radio comms? Many ways in purifying water and negotiating...

      Boredom in SHTF

      So I read the posts about the SHTF situation in Argentina and one thing stuck with me. They got bored. He said that books were worth their weight in gold because they couldn't get them. This can be applied to any situation. A while back we lost power in the ice storm and i just remember...

      How far could you travel in this? - LONG Post

      To All, I am going to ask several questions about a hypothetical SHTF day but first I am going to set up the scenario so that variables are limited. First I will set up the how of SHTF and your general situation. Next I will try to give a basic description of the events unfolding around you...

      SHTF: Tinkertoy in 12 Gauge or 5.56?

      My wonderful wife wants even more firepower in the house.:D:rockwoot::D I've got both (shotty and "assault" rifle) already, but the rifle is a G3 clone and the shotguns are a Ithaca 37 Upland and a Marlin singleshot. Little unwieldy around the house. I'm also considering selling the G3 clone to...

      does anybody hear NOT beleive in SHTF?

      does anyone hear believe that there is no chance of the economy/country collapsing or that it might be saved soon or eventually? is so why? i want to hear what the "other" side thinks.

      Low profile survival

      In a long term SHTF senario, keeping a low profile is more important than convenience I think. Once the starving gangs are roving the countryside, having the only house with the lights on, will be a liability. Also, the wife and daughter both hate meat-in-a-can and beans, but I know that...

      SHTF Chicken, not sure i would eat it tho.

      I was watching comedy central a night or two ago. They had this guy who was challenged to eat 6 whole canned chicken. I say WTF a whole canned chicken? :rolleyes: Yes! I've never seen this before so I wanted to share. The SHTF possililites are unlimited I think but god it looks nasty. It is...

      What triggers your SHTF mode?

      This is something I have questioned for as long as I have had interest in a SHTF scenario. I don't know if this is a personal question or not, so answer it as you see fit. I know there are thousands of huge reasons...nukes, earthquakes, major terrorists assaults, etc....... What will trigger...

      Why I started preping

      Moderators if this posting is too long, please feel free to delete it and slap my hand. I can shorten it or break it up in different postings. In September 2008 a chain of events began which got me thinking about food storage and survival. Living in a small bedroom community to a moderately...
