From my many romps into the depths of the internet, I get the general feeling that there are a higher than avage number of people worrying about a SHTF type senero...

So, do u have that feeling? If so what senero do u see happening?

Mine would be one of two:

Either a war in the middle east, or a complete failure of the world's ecomeny...proably within the next year..:err:

SHTF....absolutely. The Mideast will finally explode, using all available weapons. Allies will get involved, NATO, UN, all will join in.

So, yeah, ask WHEN, not if. Methinks SOON. Watch for food shortages, water shortages, forget about gasoline, none available.

How about guns and ammo? Hey remember when you were able to buy guns and ammo......and you didn't? Tough luck, sucker.
it's going to turn into that just in our state if they keep going with new gun control. We'll start fighting back eventually.

Eventually...but when is that line drawn in the sand? Before or after we can't buy anything, posses anything, or have anything left?
When it happens, Just call 911 like a good citizen, sit & wait... Help is on the way, Everything will be fine.
I believe in being prepared for SHTF.
The chances of SHTF? 100%
SHTF is taking place somewhere on the planet every day.
The chances of SHTF on a global scale? 100%
Eventually, something catastrophic will happen.

Will I ever experience a SHTF scenario? I have no clue. But I have fire extinguishers in my house because there could be a fire. I wear a seatbelt when I'm in a car, because I could be in an accident. I don't see preparing for SHTF as being any different.

Funny!
The only one I can think of at the moment.... Is when I find the SOB that stole my trail cam between Friday and today !!!!
Am i worried about it? No.
Am I prepared for it? Yup.

The plans are laid, the groundwork is complete and if it ever happens. We'll be ok, God willing.
will there be one? who knows.

are some folks counting on it and fantasizing about it? you betcha'!!!!!
folks have been fantasizing about some form of Apocolypse for millenia.
Just picked up an old steel jerry can for the 4runner, now I need to get a case of ramen noodles & some ammo and I'm good to go.:cool:

WWI...WWII....Vietnam....Korea....Katrina.....these were close enough to apocalypses for most people, for those who lived the areas effected by each of these events.

Major natural disasters are just as nasty as wars in many cases also...

yeah, but folks in this thread are talking about more of a fantastical situation of martial law, NWO-take over, UN invasion, breakdown of the USA, civil war, kinda fantasies. :)
The extreme SHTF is what some are prepping for, I'm more of the mind set of man made disaster or Katrina like law, when law abiding citizens were arrested in their homes and all firearms were removed by the police and / or state guard. Yet the local thugs were running around looting fully armed. Plus I would never evac to an Arena or very large college etc. where the mob will rule once water & food becomes sparse.

Breakdown of the US isnt an impossibility. If you think we are "beyond" or "above" that, then you are greatly mistaken. Every empire in history has thought the same, and all have met the same fate in the end.

The Balkanization of the United States is a very real possibility.

Dont forget, though we are a very young nation, that we are one of the oldest democracies that hasnt undergone another revolution and great change.
Better question
Do we have a SHTF 2 way radio channel?
Depending on the situation, do we have a central meet point?
Call tags = screen names?
I'll never remember your call tag if that's the situation...lol.


But you can call me....Tater salad.. Lol.

I'll tell you what, if zombies come I'm going to grand island and blowing the bridges.

I guess it depends for me,that is if we get the walking zombies or the ones capable of running....
