$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ludi', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PenultimateManStanding', 'Y')ou've got your little farm and heirloom seeds and the entire world crumbles all around you and your little band ready to go it alone. No fuel, no supplies, nothing but dieing desperate people for a thousand miles in every direction. Not too hopeful. Very bad scene. A million to one against you.
Yep, I agree. That's why it needs to be more than "little bands," it needs to be communities, working with neighboring communities. But not many folks are working on that, as far as I know.
That's an important element of my planning. No man is an island etc...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('TireFire', 'D')oomers make me laugh.
Specially Monte.

Sorry, I'm still having an issue with this. Genuine Doomers shit their pants, sell everything and buy a 'compound' with guns and dogs. They don't do decking and quality raised beds.
Doomerism is what you do in the real world because in your belly you know you have to react. It's not what you say on a talkboard. And people try to label me as a cornucopian

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('TireFire', 'W')hat do you know; cornucopian.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('TireFire', 'A')nybody who sells everything they have to live in a rat hole and polish their own guns are comic relief for me. While they try to hold on to a life that 'may' happen, they forget to live the life that is happening now.
I quit my job, sold my house and moved to the countryside. It's great. This is a life I'd like to lead without peak oil. The guns etc are an insurance policy, nothing more. I don't spend my days stroking them. Well, not every day.
After 18 months of preps, my money ran out, Being poor sucks (but being at home and prepping is good for your love life). So I got a job. I'm probably earning more than 95% of the posters here.
So, it's not a black and white scenario.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('TireFire', 'S')ee you year. With the new price of oil being so low, I've started travelling more, and make a point to. If we're going to waste nature's ressources, I may as well have my share afterall.
I travel over 1000km to and from work every weekend. I'd rather not, but it pays the bills. Ive also recently had a holiday in Africa. I'm planning for us to go to an extravagant spa resort for my wife's birthday. Etc... Prepping and living your life are not mutually incompatible. Shit, enjoy it while you can. But also enjoy transitioning. Otherwise others will eventually enjoy you working for them as they transition.
Edit: I know I'm lucky. I'm not saying that we can all do what I do. But I do have to take a lot of stress and travelling to get where I want to.

Sounds like someone who has already kissed his ass goodbye.
