So It's Better to Leave the City on a Bike than Stay in Your Stocked City Home During TEOTWAWKI?

Ahhhh, I understand your reticence to leave LA as no doubt you are destined to become King of the Inland Empire during SHTF.... or eaten by those who don't to be delegated... at least you won't be bored either way.

Note: If you have to tell people you are a leader you aren't one. Leaders already know this.

 

organizing, delegating, talking - those are "management" skills, all the suits have them...that don't make em leaders.

 

Perhaps the converse also applies. It would seem to be playing out here There's possibly nothing worse for someone convinced of their own abilities in organizing, delegating and talking a good game, than being confronted with straight facts that they don't want to hear or upset their reality. It's dangerous making broad generalisations, but the very kind of people whom would eliminated from or minimized in your coterie, are probably the ones who are likely to reality check their dear leader.

Your argument concerning fire arms and self defence relies on the broad generalization that attitudes (and laws) regarding firearms (or any weapon for that matter) and self defence are uniform throughout the whole of the USA, and that the circumstances of all self defence shootings are the same. The reality is that different jurisdictions have different positions on the matter (Those who work apply the "castle doctrine", are probably more sympathetic to the defender), and the particular circumstances of an incident have considerable bearing on the matter. Should one forfeit the means of defending one's life, simply because of an anxiety that the cost of legally defending one's actions might be financially ruinous? Being alive trumps the prospect of bankruptcy in my book.

I am feeling that this thread has pretty much wrung the prepping / survival value out of it....and all that we are doing is investigating and quibbling about the motives and the internal head space of the thread creator. As interesting as that may be, It makes as much sense as trying to understand Ed Gein.

 

Now we know your full of it!

 

That's strange...but the voices in my head tell me that ghrit has his "zhit in one sock"...but then again, I've been hanging around this site for several years... perhaps the voices informing Ed haven't been here as long?

 

You deff have the voices correct!

 

Edit: In deference to ghrit's decision to rescind a wager....reference to the wager is deleted. Though as moderating sins go, it was a minor transgression...and funny none the less.
ghrit wins either way.

 

This thread stinks. I am near a city which according to most is stupid or another word for dead. I have no friends to build a survival camp with- need to discover myself per advice above. I am a manager and a good organizer- obviously that is not viewed well on here either. I do not associate with living off the land people either because they are always the ones at farmers markets in hemp clothing and act like kale was just invented.We called them crunchies/granolas in my day, not sure what they are now.

PS- You are just going to continue to be trolled.

 

get off my lawn, kid.

 

You need to add that sneaky emoji our list so we all can use it

 

the key question is, do you wear a tie? Everybody who's nobody knows that a tie will cut off blood flow to your head and make you stoopid. One just has to observe a session of Congress to see that simple truth.

I'm still wondering who these "living off the land" people are. How do we spot them? Do they drool dirt? Got grass growing out of their orifices instead of hair? Are they like cereal liberals...all fruits, nuts and flakes? Somebody please edumicate me, I am sooooo confused!

 

You just described the typical con artist.
Cool. Now we all know.

 

Who did he get his info on ghrit from? Gunkid?

 

Pretty sure its all B.S.

 

Aren't they pretty much the same??

 

Do I really look like one of your Crunchies! And now own 4 Farmers Markets and am selling as a Vendor at all
