Post Bail-out Vote Shopping list

by · September 29, 2008

I’m not much of a reactionary, but after spending the day in close consultation with people much smarter than me, I’ve built the following shopping list.

  • Bottle water
  • Canned tuna
  • 20 pounds rice
  • 50 pounds legumes (various)
  • New deadbolts
  • Solar panels for roof
  • Handgun

    • That should get us to April or so when we can slaughter and cure the hogs. And if all is well, then…well, we’ll be good for the annual Red Dawn Day. I get to be the head of the Wolverines this year! So much better than being Nameless Russian #3.

      Indeed. Some additional suggestions….

      Ensure you have good/portable filtering available. Look at Berkey Filters.

      Get the food up to 3 mo’s supply, or so, and make sure you have a way to cook/boil, like a small propane campstove. Your an outdoor type, soI expect you have the stove thing taken care of, but it can’t hurt to mention, jic.

      Make sure the gun is at least a .45.

      Gold/Silver. Also, Liquor/Smokes/Coffee–good for bartering and general psychological well-being during a crisis.

      Stop looking towards either of the two Establishment puppets for anything even approaching Hope or Change. Both represent interests and agenda that are exactly opposite these things.

      Hell yeah, then I get to be the guy who uses the rocket launcher a lot. Or the chick who dies and puts a grenade under her so when her body is discovered it will kill another Ruskie. What a way to go!
