Having an emergency kit for a disaster = reasonable.

Having a survival kit for your redneck (Zombie / Red Dawn / Nuclear war / Anarchy) apocalypse survival fantasy = 'Murica.

I should have started selling this gear online years ago

One persons crazy is another persons normal. My "emergency kit" definitely contains firearms / ammunition.

Look at what happened during hurricane Katrina when people were out of food / water / shelter.... they'll get it by any means necessary, sucks for them cause they wont be getting mine~

Yeah that distinction is not so much about what you pack, as it is about your mentality.

I wonder, out of all these people who packed thousands of dollars worth of guns and ammunition to shoot desperate people, who packed extra supplies to help the desperate?

Also in this situation the people who win wouldn't be those with the most guns/ammo, but the people with the most connections / biggest or most well-organized group. You won't be getting attacked by a bunch of soloists like you, it would be groups of extended family clans / small ad hoc social networks. Humans are an extremely gregarious, social race. The individualism that characterizes our high-tech society would break down along with everything else.

So really the best 'prepping' you could do would be to have a very healthy, wide, and close-knit social circle of people who are also 'prepared'.

Agreed for sure, but it definitely makes you less of a target when you're able to defend yourself vs the guy that cant.

Well, the people who stocked the food will be teaming up with the people who stocked up on guns and ammunition.

I will be assisting in defending the farms and drinking water to ensure future generations of loyal dukesmen.


Pras him.


Seriously would be organizing the zerg to guarantee no contest. RL fungus covered tunics for all.

Yes, silly. What do you think looting is for?

(I have clearly read waayyy too many post-apocalyptic novels... They always end up raiding pharmacies.) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

As much as I am optimistic that men in a post-apocalyptic America would remain civilized, there will always be a few "rapey" types to be wary of, so I'd like to introduce you to these anti-rape devices that really exist.

First, we have the anti-rape dress, for hiding in plain sight. ("Haha! I'm a vending machine -- nothing to rape here, move along!")

Next we have these vomit-inducing hairy-leg tights, guaranteed to make any would-be rapist throw up in their mouths and run away in horror with a shriveled boner. ("C'mon baby, don't run away. You know you wanna meet "Blackbeard".)

This gruesome item is a female condom with teeth... Ouch... It can only be removed by a doctor once the offending organ is "engaged". (That would be an awkward hospital visit...)

Perhaps this one could be useful (and fun!) -- lingerie that can shock an attacker who tries to grab you. If you don't accidentally shock yourself first, that is... Unless you're into that.

That's just a few of the things from around the world that women are said to be using to thwart rapists. They're pretty much ridiculous, but good for a bit of a laugh.

Personally, my focus would be on weapons; they'd make much better anti-rape/anti-robbery devices. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

My hypothetical bug-out bag would contain my gun & some extra ammo, a couple daggers (to wear strapped to my thighs like in the movies, of course -- LOL), trail mix, jerky, dried mangos, and my strawberry-flavored Carmex lip balm. Must have lip balm.

Would definitely bring my fishing gear. I'd be gtg. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
