It Won`t Save You

[The Original Rooster]

Here i'll throw another log on the fire,
How many of you folks on here reading this and thinkin you will just take from others when times get hard sit in a church on sunday mornin?

I wonder how much the “survive all winter” package costs?

Surviving hard times isn't exciting like it is on TV. It mostly consists of growing stuff to eat, drying stuff to eat later, canning stuff to eat later, and learning to eat on a less varied diet that we're accustomed to because the grocery store will be too expensive except for the basics.
You can expect that barely any of your time will be spent fighting zombies, scavenging your neighbors stuff, using your "bug out" bag, or any of the exciting stuff you see on TV. On the contrary, what little free time you have will be boring and you'll be thankful for it because you're not working to put food on the table.

But in the song the New York City homo gets killed

That aint real life jb! Its just a song!

 

[Dub]

I lose myself half the time. I just will not need to participate in what is traded and perceived as needed items.

I also acknowledge that several hours of every day most men are weak due to over indulgence. A homo from New York City could take them out. It’s been like that for centuries. I spent most of the 90’s passed out myself.

I put that in there for NCH as he might have the skills but I need only wait until 10pm.

I believe you misunderstand.




When I said "you lost me".......it didn't mean that I wasn't clear on what you posted.


It meant that you lost my interest and lost my support for the type of crap you posted.

We'd have a big portion committing suicide and the rest seeking therapy sessions to survive the depression of not being able to access the good ol' interwebs to post such thoughts as these.

Only thing @sinclair1 couldn't kick is social media posts.

Times get hard some of ya'll would be welcomed at my fire.

I think you are missin the point here. The song was a gateway for an ol timer to ask folks to think about a serious question. Ponder some ponderables as it were.

As an ol timer myself, I still don't get it.

Must be one of those posts masquerading as a Useles Billy post, but it certainly sounded serious.

Well dying is serious i guess. So far my best guesses in order are,
Can stuff
Smoke stuff
Or ask @sinclair1 for some pro tips.

Well, hate to be a thread killer but we all had parents, grandparents, and great grandparents that survived the great depression. If they could do it, we could do it too. Big attitude adjustment though.

That old lady on YouTube said her whole family and all the folks she knew in the depression got fat because of all the potatoes and pasta they ate. This wasn't common for everyone though as it has been noted that most people were underweight during the depression. Starvation did happen of course but it was relatively rare.

Want to hear something really crazy? Life expectancy actually increased during the depression! The issue isn't likely to be a lack of food but a lack of variety. A bigger issue then and in the future is likely to be homelessness because people won't be able to afford rent and mortgages, just like in the 1930's. All their income will be spent on food. So, a better strategy to survive hard times might be to secure your housing!

Guess if you buy a 4x4 and find a New York friend who loves wine n theater that gets stabbed to death you will be good to go.

Agreed.

@sinclair1 postings are reminiscent of the judgmental harpies on FB that turned me off to FB early on.

His admission to finding ways to make himself exert power over things that control him is understandable.

Dangerous, however, is that he believes these efforts make him superior to other people.

I'd submit that he is simply a prisoner of his own self-hate and lack of a truly righteous purpose in life, thus he creates these miniature bouts of greatness to prop up his fragile ego.



But......I could be wrong.

A lot of good info in this thread

 

[turkeykirk]

I'm gonna open a fried chicken stand eland clinic next door! Gonna rake that money in!

You’ll probably waste the money at the brothel!

 

[DannyW]

Wow...this post has left the road, jumped the ditch and is currently ploughing through the cornfield. Think I will quietly slip out the side door and put on a Hank Jr album....

Not likely! Mrs. Wendy keeps me on the straight and narrow! In other words, "I walk the line"!

There are ~11 million people in GA and ~1 million deer. If things were to really go bad, I'm guessing that deer population would mostly be killed off within 30 days. Probably would be a few left way up in the hills and back in the swamp but preserving deer meat wouldn't even be an option or need for most.
