burning man type vs survivalist type

Um.
Got any SKS bananna clips to trade?

There's something to be said for wielding peaceful arms. I never joined the military, had some gold teeth keep me from getting into that hellhole. Like a million dollar wound, but more of a bad habit than an injury. Didn't really show up for formations on time, didn't really respect people who weren't pushing me. Fort Knox was a joke.

As for TEOWAWKI, I'm not saying that earthquakes and tsunamis and typhoons and el nino = Collapse. Collapse would take a plague (they had the Bubonic here in Pisco in 1992!) or a meteor (ever been to one of the crators?) or global war or worldwide flooding. Maybe all at the same time.

Regardless, people are gonna need to eat, clean up, get shelter, and protect themselves. Staying sane is tough in a situation like this. Most flip out within the first week.

And thats just after a normal disaster. It takes at least 6 months for people to knock themselves out of the daze of an infrastructure leveling, force of thousands of atomic bombs event. If Yellowstone popped like a pimple, it would be like billions of atomic bombs.

When I stand on the lip of a millenia old crater, or on top of a 13,000 foot mountain with sea level shells embedded in its rock, I imagine the type of energy it would take to lift that much earth that high.

And how terrifying it would be to be around it.



Got nothing personal against you Brent, you're just clowning on my kin, so I'll bust on you a bit. Try not to take the internet too seriously, sarcasm doesn't come across for shit and most people on here are pranksters and wankers.

I can't say I love everyone at Burning Man or some hippie BS like that, but I'm often so dumbfounded by how ingenuitive and crafty these sumbitches are that I can't get the stupid grin off my face. I just try to learn and keep up, they've got some diverse skills but damned useful whether or not the end comes in the next few years, or in our lifetimes.

Whether a full-collapse happens or not, being able to prioritize in a time of crisis will come in handy. What else? Paintball? Lazer Tag? Growing up in Compton? Learning to dodge bullets? Playing lots of videogames?

Everybody needs a hobby and something to put food on the table. I guess hunting would be a good way to kill two birds with one stone? Catching fish with a stick might work. Maybe gardening.

I dunno, what did the old school survivalist guys do? Your Bowies and your Crocketts and your Bunyans and your Billy the Kids? Indian Wrestling? Axe Throwing? Barfight?

I always thought the Davie Crockett song went "Killed in a bar, when he was only three" like he did all that shit before he turned three. That musta been one badass baby.

Hey Brent you want to have fun you should check out some country that doesn't speak English and find people into the same stuff you are. Now THATS a good way to prepare for a Collapse. Learning a new language and seeing how other cultures cultivate, thrive, and relate could come in really handy. And who knows, they might just be the only ones left around if there is some world threatening event.
