Thanks ONEYE. Just so you don't have to worry I took your advice and went ahead and ripped all my Beeghly's and Sperry women out of their frames and drymounted them just to be on the safe side.

Just dry mount everything. Much safer moving things after that.

A couple years back some site had Life Straws on sale so I bought about a dozen. I ain't sharing

Winks seductively at GBP.

That's why I'm a low key prepper. Short duration. ELEs... forget about it.

Definitely wouldn't want to be a skyscraper. Stuck in an elevator... electronic keys don't work... take the stairs! Yeah, people won't crowd up and push or shove. Everyone will be polite, and calm. Think of all your worst nightmare disaster movies, now times that by 10, no 20, no 50, just for your c...

I almost forgot, EMPs would make airplanes drop out of the sky like confetti. Ever look at how many planes are taking off or landing at your local airport? Talk about "the sky is falling". That may start a few fires here and there. They can't fly forever, and no one is directing the traffic up there...

Right. That's why it's beneficial for children - mentioned in the article. When the adults die, do you think the children will remember about the iodine? Eventually, they will forget. They say the most important thing you can do is stay inside... take a shower (no power, no water). Eventually, you'...

I prefer a filtering method for water. Edit - If there were nukes fired, we're doomed. You don't want to live longer just to die a horrible death. Nukes fly, there won't be just one. There will also be malfunctions. They may not land were intended, any number of things can go wrong. There are nukes ...

Ha! In camouflage! Choose your cammo to fit your current environment. Woodland won't do for the city. If you want to blend into a crowd, be bland, be grey. No visible watch, ring(s), or jewelry. No logos or unusual colors in your clothing. Plain, boring. Back pack should also be plain, civilian look...

I'm separated from my wife. My two sons are adults in other states. It was just Snoopy and myself. The silence is brutal. The normal routine gone. It's been 4 long weeks, and the pain and grief is still raw. I still cry. I can't listen to music. I have to force myself to do things. I distract myself...

Hopefully, you'll have 3 friends, all the same sex as you (men will always fight over a woman). Make sure one of them is funny, like fredo or Codeblue. You always need to laugh when SHTF. Why? You need someone up, while the two others sleep, taking turns on watch. Thump the fudge out of your buddy i...

Location is also key. If at all possible, don't live inside a large city. No power, means no water or fuel. Roads jammed due to accidents. Unless you have a motorcycle it's going to be tough to get out. Even with one, people will be on foot and in your way. Always remember no one is coming to help. ...

fredo you are funny and not so Fredo!

If SHTF, gold, bitcoins, or any currency won't be worth anything. Paper currency's worth is as a fire starter. You don't want to wipe your butt with something that was touched by many people. You want real currency, stock toilet paper and women's menstruation products in a dry, safe place. Guns, wea...

Make sure you have a tin foil hat that fits nice and snug.
