When the shit hits the fan...

[Pat Rice in Short Shorts]

Given Russia and China will most likely at some point hit the UK and US with cyber attacks (the new nukes) that will shut down water, sewer, power, heating, communications and the lot...what are your contingency plans?

My family has a refuge plan to all come here to our rural place and make like survivalists! I'd bet city dwellers would be screwed.

Guns, gold, cows, pigs, chickens, solar power, three wood stoves and a 500 gallons of gas...all set!


Something to think about anyway. Imagine the chaos and suffering in the concrete jungles if such a scenario were to take place. I might prefer to be ground zero of a nuke than try to make it in a dystopian cityscape.

Welcome! BYB...bring your own bullets!

Hunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with kill appeal...

And rabbit, squirrel, even crow. I've seen people eat crow breast.

I have eaten crow many times...not literally but far too often!

You're right more often than not on here from what I've seen.

Oh mate
All these years I thought he was singing killer pills rather than kill appeal. Never been a great one for lyrics. When Bowie died I was really annoyed with the radio saying about how he turned to face the strange. I always thought it was strain

Are you N or S island? Year round gardening? We were supposed to visit NZ Jan 2021 but C19 f***ked up those plans early on. We were headed to Nelson to stay with some folks who new my dad back in the day and do some fishing.

No doubt you can get by on 10 acres. We bought this place about a year ago because it has a live spring creek full of trout (50k gal per minute the heads 1/2 mile up and is 100% pure, our water comes direct from it). We have 20 acres of pine and the rest in pasture. Lots of deer, elk and bear to hunt plus pheasant, grouse and waterfowl. There is a 1/2 acre garden plus chicken and pig pens. We bought a couple beef cows last fall. Nothing but larger ranches and a few neighbors around.

Our kids had convinced us to move from rural Livingston MT to Bozeman MT three years back and we hated it, too suburban and nuts with the huge migrations from CA and other places. They brought petty crime, drunk drivers and lots of illegal aliens (who brought gangs) as labor to build their Crypto-mansions. Anyway the housing appreciated to insane levels so we sold there and bought a place dead center of MT outside a small town full of great folks. Lots of work restoring the house but lost of fun doing so. Sitting here watching a raging blizzard outside with wood stoves aglowing.

We used to shake our heads at the crazy off gridders that abound here...hell the Uni-Bomber was one! Now we kind of think they had a point. Hope not but the last place I would like to be living ever again is in a city or suburb.
