Your Ideal Doomsday Survival Situation/Prepper Thread

I love mashed potatoes, with garlic and butter. Mmmm mmmm!

It could be I really do not exactly understand the fully meaning of Preppers

This is because I read stuff like I/we have enough food and water for x years.

If I was a Prepper I would do it as I was expecting the worse =nuclear holocaust.

Which mean there will never be any society after and no supply of food the rest of my or our life.

But what do I know.

There are some people who have purchased old missile silos and are ready for that, but I just prep for hurricane season, and now "this". LOL

So Tylenol has gone on the prepper list, it's going to be the next hoarded item after TP and hand sanitizer.

My favorite prepper meal would be a can of Campbell's Chili Mac Chunky Soup mixed with two cans of no salt dark red kidney beans, and some sriracha ketchup.

I doubt it will come to having to bug out, it's not that kind of apocalypse.

It's certainly not that sort of situation. The chance is extremely low, however, it is never zero.

I've been involved in First Responder/SAR/CERT type stuff for several years so it's kind of a fun exercise to get my stuff together and pack the bags should they ever be needed.

Well, if you can get your hands on the forbidden East German MPi-AK-74N kits and mail it to me piece by piece...let me know and you can take my Romanian 74 in a trade lol.

I had to google what the NRG-5's are, and, I gotta say.....If those are anything like the vacuum sealed "emergency ration" blocks that are available in the states....may God have mercy on your soul. You might enjoy eating chalk more.

But man, it's certainly got everything you'll need.

I assume once things have degenerated to a level where they declared 24/7 curfew for the next 6 months, we will see videos in this thread popping up like mushrooms where lethaly bored people film and photograph their bugout packs and explain them and present the content in detail.

I mean.....if.....you want me to.....

I should probably buy some 450 bushmaster ammo to deal with any big suckers, I'm good on 7.62x39 and .45 ACP.

Jeff-Groves · 03-16-20, 04:54 PM

I'm set up with High powered Air Guns.
Also have the molds to cast my own bullets and pellets.
I can charge the Guns with a hand pump if electricity is gone.
Living in the boonies like I do? There's lots of Turkey and Deer.

IF it gets that bad? I'd have no issue dropping others that invade my area.
My Air Guns are silent and deadly out to 100 yards easy!

You may be able to cast bullets for .450, but I'm pretty sure .450BM is loaded pretty hot and might move too fast.

A few buddies of mine did cast bullets for .30-30, .45 and custom shotgun slugs, but I've never fiddled with it myself.

I was talking about the Hormel Compleats.

They might say it has mashed potatoes, but they ain't taters.

The Compleats with sliced potatoes are OK, just keep in mind they are calorie and salt heavy. Not so great for staying fit, but very handy when bugging out.

We'd be amazed at how good bad food tastes if we're hungry enough.

At least we didn't run out of coffee.

Pro tip. Depending on ambient temperature and amount of clothing insulation, cans of ravioli can be thawed by placing them in the crotch or under the arm for an hour or two.

These were #10 (industrial sized) cans of ravioli for a crew of 85.
Your arm pits may be bigger than mine.
