How many examples in history do you have of this?

How many examples in history do we have of a country fighting amongst itself?

That would never happen in the U.S….

I hope to die early on. I don’t want to live in that world. I’ve got some things and have friends with land and preps and we’ve discussed I’d go there and be part of that team, if SHTF, but in retrospect, who wants to live like that long-term.

I think it would be fulfilling, in a way.

A chance to rebuild a society.

That would be good. I don’t disagree. Which would probably cause me to fight and try my best. For my newborn granddaughter. To me, it’s already here, just not perfected yet. If she wins, it falls in line.

Fascinate on this.

40+ years ago I lived in Italy for the first time. I had an Italian girlfriend who had Grandparents and Parents who survived WWI and WWII.

They preached to me about how they survived and what it took to survive both ... and keep the vineyard in their family that they had held for 200 years.

I combined that with what my Grandfather and father taught me, me one who as a child survived WWI and The Great Depression and who fought in WWII, the other who lived through WWII in America ... and I reached a conclusion growing up as a child in the 50s and 60s ... that it will happen again.

Only fricking idiot fools think it will not.

We're one election/World War away from shtf. And we're almost there. Only spoiled fricktards ignore the obvious and make fun of the possible.

It's better to have and not need ... than to need and not have. That's a historical, biblical, human fact. Proven fact.

What's going to bring on societal collapse?

A fricktard media/Hollywood/NWO/The Black Pope. It's already underway.

The control of our food producing industry by Billionaires who think the world is overpopulated.

Biological weapons.

EMP/Solar flairs.

Financial collapse in the U.S.

Etc, etc., etc.

Who has survived over the millenia?

A: Humans who were prepared.

We're only a hiccup away. A mere hiccup. It all comes crashing down

Here's a better question than yours.

Why does so many billionaires have retreats? Places to run to, in their private jets, underground palaces in Idaho and Montana and Hawaii and the Dakotas .... why can't they build these multi billion dollar bunkers fast enough? Gates, Zuckerberg, the Amazon cocksucker, even Musk .... and so many Hollywood stars .... why?

Answer that.



Go back to the poliboard you brainwashed idiot.

Nothing, because if that were to happen, there isn’t a thing I could stockpile that would sustain me in the long run. It would be pure chaos and you’d have to always be on the move.

Also, it’s not going to happen like that.

Stockpiling is just accumulating stuff for the next guy to take from you.

Youre better off finding a small group of people, in a sustainable area with lot of natural foodsources you can harvest, instead of storing.

Ammo is an exception.

If society collapses who will refine oil for propane?
Don’t need to refine oil. We would take natural gas streams off of existing wells and either use the gas, as is, or separate the heavies with the hundreds of available skids designed for that.

Talking about upcoming economic collapse, communism/tyranny in the USA, etc.


I try not to think too much about this but I have. Covid was an eye opener o how fragile supplies are. Imagine something 2x covid. Doesn't hurt to have some extras around.

We have a closet of canned/dry goods other than our regular pantry. We rotate from this closet to the pantry and restock in the closet. Have quite a few #10 cans of food stored away.

We have an alexapure water filter we use daily but its gravity fed and could be used for water from our pond if necessary.

Of course plenty of pew pew and all that is needed there.

Our close friends (4 couples) have lightly discussed over beers what we would do if something really went down. 4 men plus additional adult children in their early 20s all armed would be much more effective than each staying at their own place. One couple has over 100 acres; if could all get there with supplies that seems like the best bet over staying around others. Wouldn't hurt to have a plan, never know.

Most think it's crazy talk but we're one bad decision from Putin/Zelensky and shite will go downhill fast. Hell most people were scared they couldn't wipe their butt 4 years ago; having some extra food, water, ammo, and cash around seems the least we can do.
