I think this is the best thing I have read in years. Very well put and is to the point. We have to become a people that work as a group to one goal. Our time is short I feel it in my bones, so use your time to get ready.<br /><br />http://patriotsagainstthenwo.blogspot.com/Pete Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15588515540108012216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569971501728849222.post-57639086797664590862009-10-17T07:53:26.049-07:002009-10-17T07:53:26.049-07:00Michael,
Right on.
By the way, I notice that I com...Michael,<br />Right on.<br />By the way, I notice that I comment I tried to enter a week or so ago never got published! I hope you weren't censoring me... I don't think you'd do that. I was writing about how certain "friends" get enraged when they find out I'm a prepper. I try to keep it quiet, but I live in the city... not my choice, but I have to take care of my family. My wife and in-laws won't believe it until it happens. I recently bought a book by Ragnar Benson on urban survival. He thinks it's very possible, and he's full of good ideas. I recommend him to anybody trying to make it in the city.<br /><br />You mention barter - this will be very important to urban and country survival. Once the dust settles, we urbanites (if I haven't left the city by then) will have lots of stuff to barter with from our collapsed industrial economy. We will set up shops and foundries to melt down the old computers and other junk, and make useful items. Wheel weights can make bullets, for example. You get the idea.<br />So, my main point: we need to stick together. Don't write off the urbanites yet. We're getting prepped and tough. I live on the river, and that will be a source of food and water and transport.<br /><br />Any advice, though, on dealing with the angry or overly curious city "friends" who pry and ridicule you? My strategy now is to tell them to fu*k off and mind their own business. Hopefully the gov won't set up a hotline for these worms to use to report preppers.Jacob Gitteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10559764359800682222noreply@blogger.com
