I am ready for life in post-apocalyptic America… that survivalist training has paid off…
I got my Duct Tape ready to protect against the religious fallout… a cellar… for my fine wines… a cappuccino/latte machine… plenty of flour and yeast to make my own bagels… and a huge DVD collection… er… hope that I can get by without a gun…
How about everybody else? Are you ready? How have you prepared…?
but we need to stick together on this one…
I’m afraid I took the easy way out… I moved 5000 km away 🙂

Is that you in this pic and are you the unknown bood abides, as in the unknown comic who used the same mo a few years back..
Come on Bood, take off the paper bag and let us see your face!!!!!
Hey I shared my pic with all, and so did RubDMC, Shirlstars, dammit Janet, and maybe others I cannot remember.
You have your Duct Tape ready, does “he” know about this.
Anyway if you are halfway serious about ‘survivor training’, count me in that group.
My claim to fame in that area, I can build a shelter with bamboo or other poles, a roll of construction grade plastic sheeting, large size safety pins and string, twine or light wire. And I can do it in a very short time, a couple of hours, that one could live in and survive in. Add a stack of newspapers or cardboard and you got insulation by lining the structure with same.
Why, you ask, do I have such a talent?….Well it started with me trying to make a cheap covering for an outdoor area, and it grew and grew into an outdoor room.
Anchor the structure by twine or wire to solid things like a fence, tree or house and you can have a rain and wind shelter, that will survive quite a bit of weather. Oh and I forgot a pair of scissors or a knife.
I was even able to make a cantelevered plastic roof,(with plastic and string) coming off a side area of a house (it all grew quite complicated). Wish I had pics still, but unfortunately the house burned down, largely because of a fire starting in the plastic roofed area, while I was in it and it was so strong and well built (after six months of tinkering with it) I had a hard time breaking out through a fence to safety, couldn’t get into the house because the fire was in the doorway. So my suggestion, always make an fire exit door in any plastic structure, should you ever decide to build one.
Is that Gloria Gaynor singing in the background. . . .
“I will survive. . .I will survive”
Tents are cheap and easy. . .I have lots of tent experience. . .reminds me of a diary I am going to write. . .
for a real survivalist. lol
Seriously tho, what if you don’t have a tent and the only thing you do have is a roll of plastic sheeting.
Anyone can put up a tent, but how many can build a plastic house?????????lol
And I will survive is one of my favorite songs.

Oh, that great defender of the masses, Orrin, suckup, Hatch, is now spewing forth his misinformation and outright lies. He is such a worm, I have despised this, ouch, human being for more than 20 yrs. I have watched him rape pillage and plunder the national treasury only paralleled by Stevens from alaska. He has strived to make sure that congress gets its pay raises on a regular basis.
I’m always picking up stone age tools along the river & bluffs, so bomb me into oblivion. They’ll still work wood or clean a fish or small mammal. I’ll be taking them to an old mine on 40 acres that’s been passed down through my family. Now, if Diane could just come and build a door for it!
Sure could build you a door, out of any materials handy, even wood, perish the thought.lol I enclosed porches in serveral homes, with wood and sliding glass doors, etc. Just never could stand to leave things the way they were. These were rented homes BTW, and the owners were happy(surprisingly) with the work I did. My ex did help me with a bit of it, but I did most.
We were going to be back to the landers so we had to learn everything to do that in the 70’s.
Yes keep the stone age tools by the way, never know….
