Reality Check for Survival Fantasies

I know this guy that did the same thing,him,wife,and three kids moved up there,moved his company up there,bought 50 acres,the real estate person told him that they dont get that much snow there and that the roads are always open,long story short,He was down to his last can of beans before he could get out to get food,Had heat,but not enough meat in the frezzer.He got a reality check and moved back down here to Oregon.I "LOL" everytime i think about this, you would have to know this guy,One of those tough guys,show his card being a 5th degree black belt,has a 25 foot kill radias:jerkit:,Has to have a big 375 H&H rifle to hunt with.But to tough to think about food and doing some research about the area,instead of listing to a real estate person,Trying to make a buck,that says they dont get that much snow in Montana.
 
Yeah, they forget that part of the end of the world scenarios. You rebuild a few generations down the line. Those first few generations ain't no box of chocolates.

Hard camping sucks. survival sucks big time.
 
LOL, "survival" is a LOT more fun when you enter into it voluntarily and can go back to your 3 hots (hot food, hot shower, hot woman) and a cot at the end of the weekend.
:D

If I even have to envision a scenario where I'm stuck in a cabin with one of you guys, slowly freezing to death, and we're seriously considering eating each other, and who's sleeping with eyes open and shit, then I'm on the wrong survival forum.

If anyone here is stupid enough to put themselves in such a situation without preparation, then I wouldn't want to walk around the block with such a person, let alone go camping with them. :-P

Hey! Don't blame me! PrimitiveMan is the dude with Paladin Press' "Contingency Cannibalism" as his bedside reader, not me! :D
 
just about 6 months ago me and my co worker were looking at cheep cabins in montana probably this one. we were just day dreaming about leaving the hustle and bustle of everyday life but ... wow. I just emailed this to him we were shocked at first like hey that could be us, but eventually after reading it were more curious about how they didnt have any way to start a fire or didnt even think to have a supply of fire wood. There were more questions that came up but that was the big one. If your planning on doing this you need to plan every detail. Definetly put things in perspective though.

Thinking about the calamities and disasters is COOL.

Thinking about getting sick from not washing your hands is LAME.

Thinking about home invasions is COOL.

So we worry about water filters and purification tablets and forget hand sanitizer, despite the fact that you're more likely to get sick from the good old fecal-oral route than from nasties in the water.

Which brings me to one of my pet questions: how many people pack toilet paper in their emergency kits? Equipping to fight off ravening polar bear = COOL, equipping to take a dump = LAME.l
 
Sad thing.Poor bastards.Gets cold up in them mountains.I know,go up there once a week to check for firewood.I live at the foot of some pretty rugged
country.Have to be prepared up here no matter what you are doing outdoors.I carry a sleeping bag,guns,ammo,food,water ax, jack, shovels and a chainsaw in my truck along with a couple of old tires and flares.Firestarter,hell I use a flare.Light one of those tires on fire and it will bring a crowd.People freeze to death right next to their cars up here.Happens all the time.
Sad thing about those people just the same.Hard lesson.God bless that man.
