It's in the "Planning for the Future" forum. Where I mostly hang out.

Cheers mate. That sounds like me, I'll check it out.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Heineken', '
')What makes you think I think dieoff will exclude me, as long as I "prepare" hard enough for it?
I have no such illusions.
So I might as well hang out here with one arm and grow my mushrooms with the other. Either way, I think I'm better off than I'd be watching reality crap on TV.
I'm new here. I'm still trying to figure out what those at the 'big die-off' end of the spectrum are up to. I'm trying to understand the thinking. If you are totally certain that it's going to go tits-up, wouldn't you want to take drastic action as far as preparation goes? But I guess I'm starting to get it-the threat is so great that any action is pointless. As inculcated put it "the ability to accept your death" is important, and "Hard work will invariably produce an infrastructure. The larger the infrastructure the greater the likelihood of being noticed. A higher likelihood of being noticed increases your probability of becoming a target." Or as you put it Heineken, I might as well hang out here. I can certainly see where you're coming from,but the perspective does seem to be very handy in the way that it requires no action whatsoever!
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Heineken', '
')It's possible the real intent of your post is to ridicule the notion that any serious problems are coming down the pike. But the way it's written, one can't be sure.
Any ambivalence in my tone is because of my novice status. Half the time I'm planning my off-the-grid eco-farm, the other half this seems about as real as Buck Rogers.
You almost have it.
The point is when things go down, , people are not going to come to work and sell you their last few gallons of gas from their gas stations just to help you.
In other words you are suddenly going to have to gas, no food, and no hospitals.
How long did this last in ?New Orleans?
And everyone who is alive willl not be running around trying to make sure YOU are well fed. Juest imagine it. Imagine you are on your own, not for a week, not for a year but for 50 years...
what you going to do now?
Move to a big city?
They won';t even come to empty the sanikans when they get full.
So the shills say "Well, you wont run out"
Where Ia say, "liar".
I was there when we ran out in 74, and they were still hauling in TONS of gasoline it was just a little short.
Imagine when they STOP hauling in anything.
People do not switch to sudddenly good behaviour when they run out of food. Look at the lady in the store at Kmart at a fire sale. Broken jaw, punched out eye.
but this is just the trouble for a few weeks before the war.
What happens when you tick off 200 milion mercans?
war, and desperate war will bring in desperate counterwar, someone is going to press the button, it has already happened in the future. My time traveler friend already told me. And it is less than 7 years...
