I here ya there man.Plans have been in motion for the last couple of years.I have informed many people on whats gonna happen very soon and only get called"looney".So when my children and i bug out to an undisclosed location i am able and willingly prepared to deal with the unprepared....peace bro

I agree. I see the meltdown occurring in stages. The next stage should be something like Argentina experienced, then something like the Wiemar Republic, then something like "Alas Babylon" or "Jericho" hopefully sans nuclear weapons.Culminating either as a worldwide totalitarian dictatorship, or something like "But What of Earth" sans MT technology.

Alas Babylon

Jericho

Sorry, But I cannot find a detailed synopsis of But What of Earth. It was on of Piers Anthony's early works first published in 1976.

Found this article this morning and it was certainly a sobering slap in the face for myself, and probably alot of others.

www.dailymail.co.uk...

A man found dead in a remote mountain hut was an adventurer who had planned a year-long Bear Grylls-style survival challenge in the Scottish wilderness.

It appears he died of hypothermia. I think most folks reckon they could tough it out for a while no problem, but the realities will be so alien it will catch even some of the more prepared out.

That is one of the reasons I chose to live in Florida. Even at it's coldest, hypothermia is a very minor concern unless you are naked or, or fall into a lake or something.

S had not HTF as you presumed, as long as mankind still breathe.

We are flawed beings but capable of correcting mistakes. The financial crisis happened. Many around the world suffered. But it's only money. Once lost, can be earned again, as long as the wealthy share their wealth, not through charity alone which is a sinking hole, but create jobs in the manufacturing and services sector. Plenty of money only hoarded up today, gathering dust while the 99% shell shocked by impending poverty.


The sun had acted up, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, etc now and then. People are no longer caveliar, but more careful, with more sensor equipment to detect for early warning. Housed collapsed, crops destroyed, but not ALL were destroyed. What one region suffers, another has the capacity to supply to meet needs.


Wars and threats of wars/terrorism abound. The strong only need to be prepared to defend the weak, and with more advance equipment and better carrot/stick diplomacy to counter such threats.

Thus, there are always solutions to problems, as long as one keeps a clear and sane mind. And prayers do help. It aint the end of the world yet as long as mankind adapts and never give up, as a family, community, society, nation and world, by confronting it head on with solutions instead of living in delusions or fear by running away.

The old metaphor of the frog sitting still while the water slowly comes to a boil comes to mind.

This scenario reminds me of something that always stuck with me, some advice of John Titor (yeah I know, but no matter what you think of the Titor thing the advice is solid).

Make sure you have five friends you can rely on to bug out with. Get your buds ready along with your pack, you will need them.

Too bad we're the frogs..



Whilst that one defining day of the SHTF will likely occur at some time in the near future..We still have to live for today.

Coz IMO, the road that lies ahead for mankind is not a pretty one.

I knew it would only be a matter of time before you used the phrase "get the hell out of dodge". Plus, SHTF scenarios are more than likely now that Iran has nuclear weapons and North Korea are working on bio-weapons behind closed doors.
