Back to this again. Geez, what has made you so fearful?
Living in Echo Park and working in South Central for the last couple of years. Learning about peak oil. Anticipating a dieoff.
You do the math. If you're not afraid, you should be.

TT,
Outstanding job of self-sufficiency. I am looking forward to a setup like yours. Well done.
I hardly have 30 days of water, 90 days of food, 90 days of cooking fuel, and not much else to speak of.
At least I've put some distance between me and the hood, which was a huge upgrade for me.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Troyboy1208', 'o')h wow...I think I hear OF2 coming along to calm us all down.
With all recently incoming news OF2 is increasinghly looking like an idiot.
No offense meant for him here, but it is so funny when all his argumentation is being disassembled by reality.
He is just like a guy who is stubornly betting all his money on a horse, which is coming last.
Then he learns nothing... and while new race is coming he is again putting all his money on the same losing horse.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ayoob', 'T')his is just another example that the government is not here to help you. We're all, each of us, on our own.
A couple years ago, I started calling the various government officials who were supposed to represent my interests in the government. I started with my city councilman, state legislative representative, the mayor's office, my HR representative, my Senator, the governor's office, the DOE, and a couple other random government officials.
Only the guy at the DOE admitted even knowing about peak oil and he told me that there is no plan to deal with the issue, they are simply tracking its progress.
I spoke with the Deputy Mayor of Energy for Los Angeles, and she told me she'd never heard of peak oil and that she figures I should plan on taking the bus. Second largest city in America, and the Deputy Mayor of Energy kind of laughed when I brought it up.
That's part of the reason for my doomerosity.
There's a guy on glocktalk who was part of the emergency management team for LA, and he told me that LA has lots of communications equipment, that they are fully prepared to broadcast in the event of an emergency, but there are no stores of ANYTHING that can be used to help anyone. The cupboard is bare.
It doesn't surprise me in the least that the government has no supplies on hand to help the citizens. Does this really come as a shocker to any of you?
How much food do you have stored up? Three days' worth, or is it all in your freezer? How would you cook it if you had to, and what fuel would you use to cook with? Where is your water? How many days' worth do you have? Do you have cans of gas handy to fuel up your vehicle, and what range does that offer you? And where would you go?
We are, each of us, on our own. The cavalry is not going to ride over the hill to do anything other than take whatever you have left.
They're probably just thinking that they want to raise a little money and there's all this grain sitting around collecting dust, they can dump it at the high prices you can get for grain today so they can pay five minutes' worth of interest on some bond issue to get their credit rating raised up for a little while.
It's really the same thing as a bankrupt homeowner ripping out the copper pipes and selling them to pay the mortgage one more month. What's that process called again?
If this makes you crap your pants, wait til the jails become too expensive to run and the doors open on a hundred thousand child molesters, a couple hundred thousand Crips and Bloods, and a couple million illegal aliens. That's gonna be fun, too.
And you guys realize that the price of gas isn't even really that bad yet. Act I, the curtain opens on a mid-sized city in America.

Excellent post. Well said. This is exactly how I feel.
