FICKLE PUKES AND SURVIVAL IN PLACE


I hate to admit it but TOR ( The Other Ryan over at the Three Amigo’s Survival Site http://tslrf.blogspot.com/ ) might be right, this crap is in my blood. I wanted to relax and take it easy. And at first it was working. But now I’m pretty dang bored. Is this what my life has degenerated into? My only purpose is to amuse and titillate by rehashing the same old tired crap in a new way each day? Oh, sure, every once in awhile I throw you something new and exciting, but for the most part it’s the same old, same old. But obviously since I’ve been doing this for four years it has come to restructure my life. It has come to define me, and that is pretty damn sad. My dad had his ego tied into his career and I vowed not to do that. And here I am with no direction if I’m not publishing all week long. I feel like I’m drifting. I’m actually looking back with nostalgia to the days when I lived at the whim of a wife, laboring and sniveling in subservience in the off chance I would get lucky sometime that week. Whenever I make fun of your pathetic life, with a never ending SUV payment and a perpetual mortgage, unable to prepare for the collapse because the trophy whore needs a perm or new shoes, just ignore me. My life is far more disturbing and unfulfilling. However, my folly is your gain. For now, until I change my mind yet again, I’ll go back to publishing Monday though Friday. Don’t like that I’m a fickle puke? Tough crap. Lick me, doughboy. And, fair warning. If you start loading down the comments section with idiocy again, I’ll do away with them. It is hard enough coming up with new material everyday without having to hear from you how much it sucked ( if you praise and worship my hair first, you can then critique me ). That has been my whole problem here, coming up with new subjects. It wasn’t the length of the articles, the mental anguish came from racking my brain for hours a day for a subject. If I have to revert to Peak Oil or politics or economics some days, just deal with it.

Do you think it is easy always being right? Of course not. You sit there and daydream how wonderful it would be to be just as smart as me, with as nice of hair. But it is a friggin burden, let me tell you. When you are always right, and have proof, yet when you are still ignored by others, it is especially irritating. Do you fall to your knees and chant in unison “we’re not worthy, we’re not worthy”? No. You argue with me instead. As I had previously forecast, our budget here in the food bank is in trouble. In a money saving move ( most likely the first of many ) I have shaved a few hours off my work week. No big deal, I just played with the budget a bit. Mainly cutting the stockpile budget for tobacco and such. The book budget is unaffected. The good thing about it is that I started earlier, added fifteen minutes to my lunch hour and I get home an hour earlier. Perhaps that will keep me in better spirits.

I have really grown to like Creekmore’s blog (http://www.thesurvivalistblog.net/ ). It does seem to get better with age, which you probably aren’t saying about this drivel I’m pouring out ( sucks for you the cost of print has dropped to zero ). Okay, I’m kidding. It will never be as good as mine. And neither will Rawles’. Not that I’m prejudiced. I have scientific proof from conducting a formal poll at the Bison Compound that three out of four doctors recommend Bison to any other survivalist publication. The other day there was an article on survival locations on the east coast. On the one hand, the east has almost all the population. It will be ground zero if terrorists nuke DC, an asteroid strikes the Atlantic or if Yellowstone blows ( they will get most of the ash ). But it also has water and the potential for small scale agriculture. But more importantly, as a commenter pointed out in that article, the most important thing you can do in an emergency is to stay put. You will almost always cause more problems than you solve by running away rather than bugging in. See the movie “Carriers”.

Should you be on a piece of paid for land now? Of course. Will you cause problems if you move now? Of course. But if you wait too long and don’t move, it is worse to bug out then. In other words, despite the difficulties, you should move now. If you are going to a debt free piece of land, that is far more important than food growing capacity or a good paying job ( obviously, this assumes you believe the collapse is imminent ). However, if you fail to move now, don’t even think about it once TSHTF. It will be better to shelter in place and form self defense groups with the neighbors you already have. And defend the area you are already familiar with. Bugging out is a huge flaw with Yuppie Survivalism. It is the weakest link. You face huge odds on the move, then when you get there. Either from hostile locals or new weather or an unfamiliarity with the new areas vulnerable points. And, realistically, most of us are tethered by family and spouse anyway. Most of us can’t have the weapons we desire, the food we prefer or the location we dream of in pursuit of prepping. Just another dream to crush. Learn to live with reality. You can’t leave the wife, a bolt action will have to do, and wheat is all the food you can afford to store. And, you are stuck in Crapsville.
