    Do not become Mormon. Seriously. Fuck anyone that even jokes about joining that goddamn cult just so that they can be a prepper.

    Preppers get a bad rep because there are a lot of far-right gravy seal types in it that think that with enough guns they can loot what they need, but there are a lot of more serious, sober people that recognize that the US is really bad at being ready for major disasters (like, say, a global pandemic?), and try to have as much of their own shit together as possible.

    One really important tip: you will not survive a major disaster that causes a complete breakdown of society for an extended period of time unless you’ve built a community of people that are all working together.

      Funny, in modern countries, gun owners are considered the most cowardly, pathetic humans on earth. It’ll probably be quite easy to defeat them when it comes to it 😂

        LOL

        …Oh, wait, you’re serious?

        That’s an interesting belief. I hope that you never test that belief, because your odds are not good.

            My condolences to your survivors. I hope that they weren’t depending on you.

    I intend to print out my favourite porno, frame by frame, then flip-book it. That should get me through a few months without power.

    I rely on medicine that only lasts about 4 weeks without refrigeration. None of these fetish scenarios are relevant to me.

    I have a generator, about a month of frozen food and enough gas to keep it frozen for a month (1hr on, 12hrs off with the lid closed). I plan on bartering power and entertainment for more gas and food.

      As long as your stuff is indeed frozen, and you aren’t opening it up, the food will stay frozen for almost 48 hours.

          🤣 This is so on the nose. During Telus’ big fiber optic infrastructure push I’d respond to 1-2 outages caused by them digging or directional drilling through services.

          Ngl I kinda wish they’d hit mine because I’m about to upgrade my panel/service.
