Maggie’s Sell your crap- enjoy life, not debt

Debt free and have 'stuff' that appreciates....

Nothing wrong with stuff. But buy the right stuff! Not big screen TV's and Lexus's (Lexi???).

Old guns, old cars, old motorcycles... good land... good art... good watches...

And live by sweat equity. You can turn a piece of junk into a beautiful object... keep buying that junk and making it beautiful... instead of watching reruns of Hello Larry and Manimal.... Tools are not spending, they are investment!

Bernie Madoff can't walk off with my shit... And when it's time to make it liquid... no problem!

Cheers,

Sirhr
And if by chance NK Kimmie drops an EMP nuke over the U.S....those old cars with points ignitions instead of ECM's will be the only thing running. :)
 
Gas pumps won't.......:(
Many of these around...

There will be 300 millions dead cars and lots of garden hose available. Also a battery driven drill pump and a million gas stations. If you cant find gas for a 442 or Chevelle your not looking.

I feel like responding to any of the numerous counterpoints will make me sound combative, which isn’t the case. So, let me stick my toe back in the water and offer (respectful) response here;

Besides 200+ million (probably also well armed) citizens competing for a what will be a very rare resource, your battery powered drill will not operate due to EMP killing the miniature motor drive inside of it. EMP is indiscriminate, it lays waste to everything electronic. Let’s say I’m wrong on the drill. How will you charge the battery when the charger’s electronics are fried ? Let’s say I’m wrong about the charger, how will you power the the charger ? The Utility/grid controls systems are a heap of smoldering ashes. OK, let’s say I’m wrong about the grid, but you want to use your generator to power your charger to power your drill to pump gas being fought over by armed, desperate people, just like you. Your generator won’t work either. Standalone wind or solar system ? Nope, uses power electronics too. EMP will probably also smoke the solar cells themselves.
My point being with all this is that society will have decayed into mayhem and chaos within minutes of an EMP event. It will be survival of the fittest and the critically scarce resources will first go to those willing to take any measures necessary to get them. Yes, there will be people that will be able to get gas from the stations storage tanks, provided they use manual pumps and are willing to shoot their way into, during acquisition and out of any given gas station. The gasoline supplies will be depleted within 24hrs and will not be replenished due to the refineries control systems being destroyed and the transit/delivery systems being rendered non-existent. That is not a scenario I am eager to see.

Pay careful attention to what Turdcutter says here folks, if you have a running vehicle I would be very hesitant to advertise it. I live on the edge of the city and desert, I have 30-40 pigeons and quail in my yard every day, javelina and wild donkeys walking thru the neighborhood on a nightly basis and I am an 8 mile mountain bike ride thru an uninhabited area to a 400 acre lake full of clean fresh water. if shit goes seriously wrong you need to be prepared to lay low and attract as little attention as possible and ride things out.
 
Good advice but sometimes you saddle up, arm yourself and roll. Why? because you are in the middle of the afore mentioned sh!t. And suvival means flight.

Anyway you look at it survival will be a fight. The Decisions made at the beginning? Will determine where you are in the end.

Let’s hope we never know!

We had a power outage - some lines came down due to an idiot driving a dump truck with the bed up....

During daytime, it is amazing how quiet the area gets without power.... and the neighbors who have Generac back up home generators.... those are crazy loud when the power is off....


should we get a north korean EMP via the gulf of Mexico.. no one will be happy....



the Emp will last so long that all TP will be gone....




The Fistbump will rule the day

nail through the gastank, anyone?

you fuckers need to think back to when you were little outlaw fuckers. i bet if you put your mind to it, the fuckery you'd come up with would be even more epic now, than it was then.

you put a motherfucker in a situation where he needs to come up with a solution or get his nuts cut...problems will get solved faster than you'd think. i dont sweat shit like this. we'll survive.

I suppose thats another point I should have made earlier. Why roll anywhere, when your every means of defense and survival is at home ? Yes, there will be those of you that have either legitimately, or at least have claimed to have stocked “the mountain hideaway”. For those few of you that really know your shit, have formal training and are confident in both what you have done and what you need to do, you’re probably golden. For those of you that haven’t/don’t, you’ll have a much higher chance of being just another statistic, particularly if you have been telegraphing your moves/preparations to all of your buddies. In times of emergency, it is amazing just how many loud mouths have done absolutely nothing in terms of prep, but still brag to their buddies “how much AK ammo they have stashed”. Food, water, ammunition and gold will likely be the predominant coin of the realm and probably in that order.

there is an awesome book- 1 second after that does a pretty detailed job in explaining an EMP Attack. It is written so wives, girlfriends, mistresses and kids will appreciate it too

There is a sequel to that book. https://www.amazon.com/One-Year-Aft...d=1517543190&sr=8-4&keywords=one+second+after and https://www.amazon.com/One-Year-Aft...d=1517543190&sr=8-4&keywords=one+second+after
 
I've really been thinking about my job and lifestyle a lot lately so this is perfect timing. I absolutely hate my job but there isn't much in the area that pays anywhere close to what I'm making so I've just dealt with it for the last 6 years so I could continue having nice shit. I'm looking at finally changing jobs now that my wife has good insurance with her new job. I am looking at taking about a $7 an hour hit in pay which sucks but I could make it work.
