Fugg that I would be go all Tina Turner in Madmax...they (academics and individuals who think you could just "get by") would be shoveling the pigshit under my Masterblasters whip (hornwilly on hucks back) lmao
Dang to bad I can't photoshop on my phone. I would take a pic of huck and willy and impose them on masterblaster!
So add to the mix, I see a new trend happening with more people calling themselves "Preppers". Beyond the obvious cliche of the conservative soccer mom stockpiling items from Wal-mart. Is there a difference between preppers and survivalists in terms of their motivations?

Huck and Hornwilly I didn't intend that you were a real life version. After reading again it came off derogatory and that wasn't the purpose.
Huck is just a big ole farm boy that is loyal and Josh is a bit shorter and smart as hell.

No way man...that junk was funny. And, to be fair... I'm much shorter. I have the girls at work get stuff for me off the top shelf so I don't have to get a stool.rotflmao
Preppers? I would not consider them "survivalists." I would look at that more as "hoarders" or "overly prepared people" or "those fearing the end". Here is what I know. When the end comes, we are not going to change anything. We are not going to stop it. We are not suppose to fight it. We are to go about our business and not add to the chaos. Look it up. If not mistaken, I believe that was in Revelations. If people are stockpiling in efforts to avoid the end, then it is not canned goods they should be stocking up on, but rather faith is what they should have.
I think the ones that are prepping...well...it isn't for rapture. Lol. You can do both at the same time though lmao
More like economic unrest or some rogue group turning the power off for a couple weeks.

gotcha. Hadn't thought about them. Not that I haven't considered this possibility, but most you hear talking about all the "signs". Whatever. If it happens, it happens. Why stock up? I will be more worried about defending my family and fighting off any mooches wanting anything we have stocked up. FWIW, we don't have extra stocked up for this reason. friggin' MIL told my wife a couple weeks ago, "Well if something happens, we will just have to come over to your house since you canned last summer." Screw that. Your lack of preparation and laziness is not our problem. We have our own kids to feed. lmao
Exactically, from the homeless, to the guy living in the van down by the river, to the drug addict. Even the family who has abandoned a foreclosed home.
No matter what ones position in life is or once was, the act of survival reveals itself once challenged.

I agree. Preppers are simply people who are not in fact survivalist but those who are panicked and dont know how they will live without all these certain things they think they will need to survive. Survivalist will survive with what they are left with and go from there - even if its nothing. I know preppers and horders and it consumes their whole life now. How is that a way to live. Im thinkin the only thing I would like to keep horded in my pocket is a firestarter. Dont need it but its small enough to carry forever yet HUge on provision, for what its worth.

I told you my plan. I don't stock up provisions. Seems like a hassle, you have to rotate stock, check this, check that. Blaahhhhhh. No thanks..
I just keep a mental note of about 3-4 Mormon families in the area.... Mormons stock up for the end of times. The church even helps them... So when the shtf. Find some Mormons and roll em. It's like the grasshopper letting the ant do all the work, then kicking the ants ass.
Definition of irony- MIL is a freaking mormon. Raised 7 kids to be mormon. 2 of them still attend the church. 4 of them don't attend church at all. One of them goes to the Lutheran church with me. On a positive note, I have met a ton of mormons through my wife and her family. We would be aight!
I have had others say that they are coming to me if the shtf...Unless you helped or can help (trade) best move the fugg on. It would be hard but you can't help everyone. I read alot and need to stay away from books like this but it was recommended. Says something like 100 million would die in the US within months with no electricty. Pretty eye opening actually.
