If anything actually were to happen, the odds of your survival kit actually saving you or being of use is like zero percent lol

He is going out into the wilderness with his kit to hunt moose, build a shelter, cut firewood, and so on. This will save him. Disaster will only strike those in the cities.

Everything in my stockpile is useful for day to day life, so none of it is wasted even if a disaster does not occur.

I recommend everyone listen to the two podcasts with Randall Carlson on Joe Rogan's Podcast, and listen to what Randall Carlson has to say.

You will learn a lot.

Interesting thread. I remember hearing before something along the lines of, "think of the earth as an organism, think of it as similar to your body. What does your body do when it is under attack from a virus or bacteria? It flushes it's system and heats up trying to kill said parasite. We are the virus"

Usually this kind of thinking eventuates from alienating yourself from the culture and encountering only stupid people, thus you come to the conclusion that the world is incredibly uninformed and stupid and doesn't know issues are looming.

There's mass protests all over the planet going on today, everyone wants change.

Sounds like a whole load of doomsday negativity... as the bunkers all collect dust..

Forget all the trinkets and learn how to bow hunt and other survival skills...
Me, I'll just party at the end and go down in flames...not that there will be an end.

Natural disasters and catastrophes happen continuosally all over the world , financial collapses , global events, wars, famine, draught, plague, things foreseen and unforeseen.

In virtually all such circumstances preparation will make an enormous difference both to your quality of life and chance of survival.

If something interrupted food supplies or food prices skyrocketed, I would be able to eat well while many starve or go break buying overpriced food.

If the water supply is contaminated or cut off I would have lots to drink for a long time while others would be In a potentially lethal dehydration in mere days.

If I needed to survive in the woods or on the road I could.

If there was a riot or home invasion I could defend home and family.

I am prepared for an abrupt cut off off of water, food, electricity and supplies.

If someone gets sick o have courses of antibiotics that can save their lives.

I can clean and tend and bandage a wound. I can treat various conditions with medicines.

I can keep my hands sterilize and purify water and stay in my home avoiding the greatest risk from a pandemic disease.

If it came to it I could survive in my home without any external access to supplies in relative comfort for a year.

If there was a massive economic collapse I could feed and care for my family even if I lost my job.

I have enough stockpiled to survive for a year and enough gardening supplies fruit trees and seeds to create my own sustainable food.

I also train my body and mind to increase my odds of survival.

I am as prepared as I can be for a major crisis local or global and my prelerations would dramatically improve my survival chances in many or most circumstances.

I could survive in place or I could load my car and evacuate anywhere in a matter of 1-2 hours.

I could protect myself in a wilderness or an urban environment.

And even if nothing happens I will save money and convenience by having all the necessities of daily life stockpiled .

I am prepared for power outage, food supply collapse, water system collapse, extreme weather events, financial depression , unemployment etc etc.

Whatever happens my family will have food to eat , all the necessities of life and the weapons to defend them.

This to me is part of being a man- the ability to provide for and defend your family even in a worst case scenario.

If there is a global catastrophe that astronomical and everything goes to shit, why would you want to live anymore?


I'd say a gun and a few bullets should be good for me, but I really don't think that kind of shit is ever going to happen in our lifetimes.

I do believe that climate change and global warming due to CO2 emissions is going to affect the world eventually...but I really doubt there is going to be some global catastrophe or super volcano eruption anytime soon

Up until not so long ago, and in most places in the world in fact still, all people stored foods and the like to help them get through winter and potential calamities.

The situation most of you are in, that you only have food in the house for three days, is entirely artificial and is as dependent on the exact functioning of the infrastructure of society as a baby who relies on his mothers breasts for milk.

You dont have food in the house.
No drink other than alcohol.
You only have a few days of money in your direct possession, the rest is with the bank.
You rely on electricity, natural gas, water mains, your car, on that your local stores will be supplied every day.

God helps those who help themselves. You don't have to live in fear for this:





...to simply take some common sense precautions. Its the mature thing to do.

Didn't even read the entire op, but it's all part of the rapture. It's all part of the process to eradicate evil. Once the human population is extinct, no more evil will be around. Humans are very evil beings.
