I've been squirreling away stuff for over 10 years now, and we're a little closer to self sufficiency in a time of need, but it would still be tough. I try to buy an item we need out of each check. Sometimes it might be a can of food, or a box of ammunition, sometimes meds, or something else. I would say where I'm lacking is I really don't feel like I've got a very good bugout plan. I feel like it's easy to say, we'll all meet at spot XYZ in North Dakota, but all it takes is one bridge knocked out somewhere, one roadblock and you're plans are useless. My son moved to Indiana, so he's on his own now, cuz there's no way I'd go towards Chicago if something happened. Lots to think about, and hard to work it on a very limited budget. We'll keep putting stuff away as we can and hope for the best. We've probably got enough water, food, and survival necessities to hold out for at least a month. We just keep working on it and putting aside cash and precious metals just in case.
Anybody got a youtube "link" for the Tedhorn style moron pictured above ?

Real WINNER, that.
Hell, maybe he's posting here as Tedhorn now.

Just bought a little ~1 amp cell phone/tablet solar panel (rating is 7 watts). In times of trouble, a cell phone may actually be more reliable than the old landline. A little better, and a buck cheaper than mine.
Lock your doors.....the bad guys will just move on
One would venture that you think your text is cryptic, and deep, momentous in it's gravitas and import.
Given that's the case,...YOU carry on, and enlighten us, the slower witted here, Ted.

Nope......most if not all of you seem a bit quick and dim witted
If.....when it gets bad money, gold or anything valuable will have ZERO value
Guns and ammo will be like gold......cary on
You sir are the dimwitted one! Gold, silver etc... will eventually return to it's place of value as a currency, albeit for a short time until the manipulators take over again. Food, clean water etc.. will all be valuable commodities but currency will be P.M's Come around me with your gun trying to take whats mine and you will learn a harsh lesson. If SHTF you will be an early casualty.

I hope I can sleep tonight and don't have nightmares about tubby redheaded guys wanting to steal what meager supplies we have
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
Not trying to be an alarmist, but I wounder how many here are prepared to shelter in place or "self quarantine" if it came to it to protect their family? I'm talking food, water, medicine and possibly protective gear ample enough to survive without outside contact for what, a month, maybe more? Guns and ammo are great, but they won't help you against a virus.
Just a thought.
Do you have enough tin foil for all the hats in your house?
Zing!

It's just a play on an old saying, "there's very little that can't be fixed with five hundred dollars and a 30-06".
When people face the possibility of freezing or starving there is little chance they are going to listen to unfounded claims of climate doomsday from a bunch of ultra-rich yacht sailing private jet-setting carbon-spewing hypocrite elites
I am very much amused by those that have eschewed any sort of preps. Tin foil hats indeed! Oh, and lets just belittle and beat up on anyone that does something a little extra to protect their family.

Those are likely the ones with the biggest hordes squirreled away.
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

I couldn't help it...I had to do it!
