lol "cool mil" you guys act like that's lots of money. Hell, any given two story house in a decent working class neighborhood in Canada goes for at least 400k. A mill isn't even that much.

I'm surprised nobody has said this.... One book, you all absolutely need, especially in a survival situation..




Handiest motherfucker I own, bar none.

I have 3 of those lol 1 in my EDC back pack, one in my tool box at the house and one in the wife's truck

Lol, I wish I could!

Right? Tell me how awesome this would be

Might be a bit steep at average prices of a cool mil, but you get a runway, a house AND a goddamn legit bunker

You guys sound like those crazy people that sell everything, pack their McMansion, and move to the middle of nowhere.

What you did there, I see it.

One of the guys from work called off and made several hundred bucks pulling people out.

One of the few instances where a truck/suv lifted to "bro" height levels would be useful.

Yeah, we're about to get fucked. Sucks our ground doesn't soak up water and our drainage is almost non-existent.

We'll take some of that water if you're willing to share. SoCal is so dry that the trees are bribing the dogs.

The first couple without the water on the road was at 3:30 in the morning on I-10 and 67th. The ones with the water were at 3:45. The rain continued to, if I remember correctly, about 9ish?

Eventually there was so much water my 06 pontiac grand prix was getting picked up and water started coming in.

So...prepping for disasters is ludicrous right?

That's what these people thought.

Hell speaking of storm we have another storm headed our way in phoenix. From what they say its suppose to look like last Monday's storm look like a raindrop. Hope they're wrong. So sit tight Phoenix dwellers.

I was in the Phoenix area on Friday. I drove down the 10, then the 101 and got off somewhere in Glendale to pick up another 2002 I bought. I drove past two community parks, both of which were flooded quite extensively. I saw a basketball hoop sticking out of the middle of what I thought was a pond. Nope. Basketball court.


Phoenix got rekt. Noobs.

I've got a closet full of canned stuff - beans, chili, veggies ect.

23k btu kerosene heater, 50 gallons of kero treated with an anti-bacterial for extended storage

Containers to hold water - I don't trust water sitting for months/years at a time so I just leave them empty. If anything happens the water heater holds 80 gallons, it can be drained as necessary.

.22LR for small stuff. Somewhere between 500-1000 rounds (hey they're real cheap). Should probably get something bigger considering how many deer we have in MD. As of now I don't have anything for the more dangerous "animals".

I personally see no need to have a mobile plan - this isn't red dawn, world war z or something stupid. Fiction, not fantasy. Storms/weather is the real threat - if we actually do get invaded or something 90% of people will be fucked. In those cases preparedness will have a small role, survival will mostly boil down to luck.
