A Bit Off of the Usual Topics, but….

I will eat my neighbors cat.

Desperate times call's for desperate measures. Unless you are just going to eat it because you don't like it.

Eating the neighbors cat can lead to serious problems. Remember what happened with the Hatfields and the McCoys.

That's a good reason to not let your animals free range, including cats.
Lots of bloodshed for a pig if you ask me but that was tough times back then.

Do you think so? I wouldn't to make any bets on it.
I wonder who's door they are going to be knocking on.

"They" are free to come here. I am not engaged in any illegal or unethical conduct. I pay my fair share of taxes and I'm not concerned about an audit either. Can you hear me IRS?

I get your original sentiment and actually appreciate your concerns. I'm just not overly concerned about government scrutiny. I'm sure that opinions vary on the issue but that's just how I feel.

BTW - I was audited many years ago. Apparently, my accountant made an error in my pre-paid Federal taxes. The IRS was curious to know why/how advanced over-payment was made. I got two refunds that year. It's funny how things work out sometimes.

The ATF & FBI will nocking at your door. It's not because you have done something wrong. It's because of what you have. My house is in order, but the governent isn't.
I do wonder what will happen after this next election?
What the Democrats have done to this system is beyond believe. They are as crooked as all get out. So are the rino in the Republic Party.
President Moron hadn't figure it out until his son came into the picture. Obama came into office as President. He was worth about 1.5 million coming in and 45 million going out.
Foundation and other ways is how they get their money, and inside stock deals. Interesting how he had time to become wealth in 8 years, and only 1.5 million in over 50 years. I wish I could get the type of turn-a-round in eight years. Obana was in the shake down business before that.
I watch what and looked like President moron pooping in his pants in Europe the other day. People were looking him with delief.
The Democraps are keeping this moron in office. I CAN'T HARDLY BELIEVE MY EYES IN WHAT THE DEMOCRAPS ARE DOING!!!
I have personally seen what war looks like, and it's terrible. Unless you have been there and done that, you can't even begin to understand it.

You better have a lot of salt and a smoke house, won't matter what you kill if you're unable to store it. Can't assume that your freezer will function, one of the first things hit in our country will be the power grid. Anything larger than a squirrel and fish will need preserving. I've eaten dried salmon in Alaska, it was called squaw candy. Most misnamed thing I've ever put in my pie hole. I don't have the vocabulary to expound on how bad it was. I should have just eaten the stick holding it. My friend who had lived there for many years just gobbled it up. Disgusting!

Was that squaw candy made from the salmon belly. Because squaw candy is great, but we always give away the greasy nasty bellies to cheechachas or dogs. I don't mean that to sound offensive.

So, It was a being sold at a village gathering near the Gultona river coming back from Denali. My one and only try. Buddy couldn't understand why I hated it. I wasn't a big fan of salmon, I liked trout, salmon was always to oily. I'm a picky fish eater. But I'll try most everything, once!

The "Great Reset"…..hopefully a few good folks survive to re establish a more civilized world! memtb

This is a good discussion. I've been on this prepper kick in the past and believe it has merits. Precious metals, ammo, food supply, antibiotics, etc. The question is, how long can you actually hold out? Sure, you can buy yourself some time but ultimately, I think we'll be hosed if the Poo-Poo really hits the fan. Just a matter of time. This depends upon a variety of factors, for sure. Still doesn't hurt to be prepared and I'm down with that. Ultimately, God is in control. God, Family, Country. Prepare to the extent it's reasonable for you and hope for the best.

I fear you are correct God help us!!

If ya get a little advance warning, and drive like hell to get south of Raton, NM. You may survive the blast….then you have to compete with potentially hundreds of thousands of others, in a foreign (to you) area! memtb

Can't remember for sure what the article said but it was way, way,way east of Yellowstone Park!!! Like Georgia or Alabama !!! Like I said can't remember exactly what state but much further than I ever thought! Tribb

A buddy of mine was cleaning out an old barn, they found a pot with pig lard in it and was curious. They pulled out a roast that was probably 30 years old he said it looked like you could eat it.

Most likely you could not have but you don't know till you try it!!. This was a storage method used by Mary folks long ago before electricity when canning wasn't a possible alternative!

I have a lot of information about doing things concerning one's ability to provide food and provisions that learned from my grandparents!! I never thought it would be something would ever use! But now it appears I may need it! Let's all take this seriously and read all you can on the subject. I am!
