one can purchase MRE's from surplus military stores also I opine on the net as well cheaper on the net In a message dated 09/09/13 16:46:26 Eastern Daylight Time, noozg...@sbcglobal.net writes: Back over 10 years ago I bought an earthquake emergency pack at a local hardware store.

Survival is the struggle to remain living. Survival Cache: http://survivalcache.com/ http://survivalcache.com/ http://survivalcache.com/ http://survivalcache.com/ s3raphita : This individualistic, survivalist stuff is fun (kinda like scouting for grown-ups) but pretty unconvincing. Most of what I've read is just common sense that could be applied to any disaster. Apparently you've made no plans to survive, that is, other than have a few pills to take in case of a nuclear disaster, but what about other kinds of disasters - any plans for that? If the shit ever does hit the fan then our best chances of pulling through will be if we group together and work as a community to solve any shelter/food/medical emergencies. Ask anyone around here what it was like to live through hurricain Katrina or Sandy and you could see what people could have done BEFORE they found themselves and their family inside the Astro Dome or without shelter. Indeed, people would opt for the hive even if that meant accepting something like fascism if that was the only possibility separating them from lawlessness. If you had watched the show BEFORE you posted your comments you would know that the family is the first line of defense and security in any disaster. Go figure. I always think the tough guys who think they can make it on their own would fold come their first toothache or sprained ankle! You are not even making any sense - all good survivalist probably have medications for a toothache or a sprained ankle in their pants pocket. Go figure.

s3raphita: By the way: if you're that paranoid make sure you stock potassium iodide tablets. Uh, yeah, that's covered in the book I mentioned. 'How to Survive the End of the World as We Know It: Tactics, Techniques, and Technologies for Uncertain Times' by James Wesley Rawles Plume, 2009

Around here this stuff is taken seriously as we have big earthquakes. On a recent episode of 'Doomsday Castle' they built a solar water system. Very good information. http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/doomsday-castle/ http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/doomsday-castle/ http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/doomsday-castle/galleries\ /modern-vs-medieval/at/castle3-1671873/ Bhairitu: I believe that was the film I watched on Netflix a couple year's back. There's a US series by National Geographic called Doomsday Preppers which is going into it's third season. I watched the first two and they had a special episode of preppers in other parts of the world before I canceled the tier the Nat Geo is on. There were a lot of good survival ideas in the series. Some of the people were a bit wacky and others very grounded. The really good episodes were with ex special forces people who know how to survive about under any condition. Around here this stuff is taken seriously as we have big earthquakes.

There will be no surviving a global disaster. All of the 'nice' people will be slaughtered or deprived of the living essentials and all of the 'survival' types will be instrumental in ensuring they remain alive as long as possible (along with their families). The worst characteristics of the human being will predominate and no one will be safe from plundering or maiming or death. Those who might come through all of that will be either the really ruthless ones or those who just had a whole lot of dumb luck or fell down a well-stocked hole at some point.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Survival
Well noozguru, at this point, because of Fukushimo, I won't eat any fish, which I love, unless I'm 100% sure it came from the east coast. But turkey is a good meat, high in potassium. And organic bison. Hmmm, could be a canning business in the making...How about the seeds, like quinoa? Very high in amino acids. Maybe it would be a good time to go raw food-wise? Almonds are very healthy. Avocados.
