What is your plan for the end times?

All correct.

Former and disagraced Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens died in an aircrash today in Alaska, on his way to a hunting trip. I have a friend who is a Luthier and one hell of a Musician, in every sense of the word. He refuses to get into "Buddy Holly Planes." :D

Can't blame him!

Today was the end of the world for him.

Pompeii? Cassandra (not Elvira) fled, a lot of people...their world ended for them.

It certainly is a contender for most probable of all possible situations.

Watching the nature programs on TV, you don't see much except the strong eating the weak as far as the big picture goes.

You're forgetting all your equal opportunity believers out there. The Hindu's could just as easily be RIGHT, and we'll all wake up as dung beetles in the next life.

As Denzel Washington said in Man on Fire: "Forgiveness is between them and God....I'm just here to arrange the meeting." :D

If SHTF, first I plan to soil myself and get that out of the way.

Then I will start looking at my preps and wish it were more.

my plan is to sit tight & hold on..... the bugging out into the wilds is a pipe dream for most folks and the people who live in the boonies better be prepared for these pipe smoking people.

Of course I'm prepared for 'em. I have plenty of room for these people.

Right next to the taters and corn...

Bugging in with few exceptions > bugging out.

That was one of the strangest movies I've ever seen, if we're talking about the same one.

The hog head wearing, brother vs brother with chainsaws ending?:eek:
 
Hum? well if its the "End of times" I guess thats a done for planet (only way that can really happen) By what ever means. So it would be very fast, and I hope I have time to bend over and kiss it good bye. If.! it means Very tough times? I've been into the survival mode from a toddler till now. I would think I have all the bases covered.! ( I have detailed files) If it was a kinda a holy, 2012, beasts run amok, zombie cult, don't drink the water kind of thing?....Then I would marry a Mayan woman, and hope she has some inside info.*and would just happen to look like Evangline Lilly.* So if it comes? Lets get it on.! As allways, Enjoy. edgy :thumbup:

Well thats my point if I'm wrong and come as a dung beetle then that's fine, if there wrong and I'm right......

Sorry I hate to hijack I will stop now no use in arguing on a forum, I don't want this thread to be closed because of me.
 
I don't know about bugging in... I stocked up on military H20 jugs, 5 gallon at 15 bucks apiece, and 30 days worth of canned and dry food, but so much is to be said for being mobile. To me bugging in is equivalent to digging your own grave. I'd rather take my chances on the run in the gorgeous hills than live cooped up for a month in a locked up house.

For the record, the De Haviland Otter is an amazing aircraft-it's a favorite bushplane in these parts. Senshui, if society brakes down so far that animalistic instincts such as that take over, well... I don't think it's going to happen. Try to get a random girl to eat as much as a sardine and she'll more than likely do a backflip and hit you with her purse...
 
They are sought after airplanes and pretty tough, too!

Small aircraft are still...always an iffy thing. ;)

Almost forgot, not to pick your plan apart, but you'll be alot better off in a bad situation looking like a redneck than you would looking like a merc.

Be the grey man, blend in and don't draw attention to yourself. Keep your guns out of sight until the last possible minute.

I have been meaning to post something about this and this is as good a place as any. I recently went to Disney World with my family. I carried a tan Maxpedition fanny pack loaded with the kid's autograph books, ponchos, snacks , and water. For those of you that don't know, your bags are "searched" when you enter a park at Disney World. I began to notice about half way through the week that the security guards were much more deligent searching every nook and cranny of my maxpedition bag then they were male foreign tourists let alone female's purses. I mean they were really hoping to find something in there! Two years ago they took away my Spyderco because it was in plain sight, learned my lesson there.

With that in mind I really got me thinking that I don't want any Maxpedition or other military type stuff for emergency bug out times. I believe there will be searches and well meaning law enforcement or the military will try to take your weapons if you look like you have them. This means that my long guns will have to fold and go inside a main "sheeple" friendly bag. Just some thoughts.

I too will bug in, unless there is something major right at my front door that prevents it like a chemical spill or something.

And if it is the "end times" I will no longer be here. You are welcome to my stuff:)
 
I didn't lose a damned thing at Disney World. There is absolutely nothing at Disney World that a child must see or have or experience that trumps any of the experiences you just listed. And you went back.

That's why individuals and corporations that are pro-brainwashing and anti-liberty keep trudging along year after year making tons of money. Because people won't take a stand and stop giving them money.
 
I like MOLLE gear, chest rigs, plate carriers and shemaghs and have some of each in my gear closet, but Shotgunner was pretty well spot on in saying that looking like an Average Joe instead of GI Joe will draw a lot less attention to you from military/police (if present) or the general public. I sure like the versatility of packs in coyote or OD with lots of MOLLE webbing, but I’ve transferred over to a lower profile Kelty Redwing.

If I were going to be in a fight and had no choice but to go, I’d take a carbine over a handgun guarantee it, but I can be Average Joe with my G19 and plenty of mags under a regular old sweatshirt or jacket; that’s just the reality of it and that’s why I spend 80%. Again, I like the looks of coyote jackets with insignia Velcro on the arms, but a plain old windbreaker might get fewer looks. With that said if you’re hiking through the middle of town with a 70 liter Kelty packed to the hilt with gear like Yosemite Sam you might just look like a one-man sporting goods store for those who don’t have any preps of their own.

The bug in vs out debate will never end. There are pros and cons to each for sure. I would prefer the comfort and security of my home to a tent, etc that doesn’t offer much security for my family or equipment. I have a lot of gear I’d like to be able to use and my wife and I can’t pack the whole house. Lots of variables out there for everyone to consider for their own situation.
 
I really didn't think about the potential windfall benefit of obtaining bizarre oddities like the last pocketknife you found! Buddy Holly Planes for everyone! Everyone, I say!

As far as THE END TIMES, we know all about you, Mr. Dobbs. It's going to be Obituary blasting on the stereo and hot chicks in ESEE panties on the lawn, isn't it now, Mr. Man? :D
 
If I find some more survival kits I'll sort'em & send 'em to you.... We did the Ricky Nelson,still have the rudder hanging in the shop,though I am not a music fan of his still cool

I love small aircraft. Did alot of S&R stuff with Civil Air Patrol in high school, which equated to free flight time in a Gippslund GA8 Airvan, A few Maules, Cessnas and Pipers. Not to mention an incentive flight in a PT-17 Stearman... I feel real at home in them. In fact, I miss it a ton... Adaman, the Kelty Redwing is just about the best cross country backpacking rig on the market as far as civilian gear goes. That said, I don't care what I look like-civilization ends three blocks away. If someone is going to pick me out of the crowd in the three blocks from my apartment to the trailhead, in Boise, well then... I guess I'll take that risk and hope my feet and FAL work like they're supposed to.
