Go to the mountains, It even says that in the Bible, but if you don't see it coming, then obviously it's too late. I just hope it's quick. I'd hate to wither away with cancer and radiation poisening. If they are going to drop the big one, drop it right on top of me.
My grandfather died of lung cancer i remember when i was younger he had a kewl way of thinking that ive kind of takin on and it was that if you didnt believe in god but just believed that you would never experiance death then when we died we didnt even know it thus as far as we are concerned during life we will live forever. btw no offense to any religion i know alot of ppl will disagree with this just a personal belief.

If a large portion of the human population disappeared somehow, I hope we learned our lesson and keep our living group smaller than the super-societies we have today. Either that or figure out a way for an ass-load times a fuck-load squared amount of people can care about each other on any kind of real level.

Maybe we can try Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s idea of issuing all new middle names to everyone. Everyone with the same middle name is now a relative. The slogan is: Lonesome No More.

I agree, the "super societies" we have now are disastrous. Nearly no one gives a fuck about the people around them- then we have the people's residences basically on top of each other. Everything is expected to be imported- if the cities got cut off, how would they survive? There's no food growing naturally there- there's no livestock to kill- there's no fiber to spin and weave. The supply would empty and chaos would ensue. People have no respect for the life that they live- they have no respect for the food in their belly, or the water on their lips. And if these drones had to one day care for themselves- without help. A bulk of the population would instantly be weeded out. Our arrogance as a society is sickening. Let us not forget- it was only 100 years ago that it was NORMAL to kill your own food, build your own house, work hard. 100 years is but a drop in the stream of time. :blsmoke:

While on the surface, I agree. But I think that there were many people reaching back far into the past that weren't "close to the land". It has been a long time since every human had to provide his/her own food. Even ancient Roman citizens were shopkeepers -- not everyone had a farm and some livestock. Even 100 years ago (and actually much, much longer than that) , city-folk were used to not having to do their own butchering and farming.

I think the biggest recent change has been the number of folks relying on very few others to provide ALL their food and other important supplies.

I agree with every statement you made- ever generation and society, even while "primitive", has had their group of people who weren't "close to the land" and that the cities has nearly always sold food for the people who didn't raise it themselves. At least then the food was grown/raised locally. :roll: LOL.

Too many have chosen to have that kind of life these days...

I have a Hungarian ak47 with 100 round drums and steel core and steel jacket rounds(for defense). I have a .308 for hunting. A shotgun and hundgun for close range fighting. Im buying(within a week) class IIIA full body armor. So i can hunt fish and live with my grandfather in tennesse on his farm, He also has a moonshine still that produces methanol to drive our cars and tractor.

By the way the gun bans will only ban assault rifles(early 2009) but they will slowly ban ammuntion(becuase you cant use a gun when you dont have ammo). The gov. knows better than to take our guns, but there will be no opposition to stop selling ammo.

I have enough of a variety to arm my family, the body armor sounds interesting though. I've always held that you should be good enough to do head shots, that is the only defense against the police and swat. If you are commited to firing your weapon, aim for the head. I have at least 50 rounds for each weapon and for my primary weapon the AK, I have 500 nrounds. I need to get some more 7MM Mag cartriges, they are expensive though, about 2.00 apiece.

if you really want to be prepared with firearms and ammo just in case - here is my advice -

keep it simple - i really like Glocks - but for longevity and ease of repair, the more simple the weapon the better. so for pistols, revolvers will last and last and last. for rifles - my advice again would be think simple bolt action hunting rifles - again, i like my M1 but could probably fix the K98 easier than the M1.

rather than stock-piling ammo, get a quality reloader with all dies (and back-ups) - invest in some lead dies for bullet making and stockpile powder and primers (the hardest things to make yourself) instead of buying ammo - roll your own instead :)

i'm a one shot guy too. debating getting some of that wolf .223 ammo in bulk for the mini 14.

i have been thinking about getting into doing some hand loading... if i ever get a really nice bolt action i probably will. or, if my son starts doing competition shooting. :)
