An MLB umpire tweeted about buying an assault rifle over the impeachment inquiry

An interesting concept, I'll give them that.

"One is None", or "All Eggs in One Basket" is the problem. Not having alternatives in place is a pretty serious issue, when electricity is running our water pumps, refrigerators, bank card transactions, traffic lights, healthcare equipment. Either that or start burying power lines where high winds ...

Eat more beans.

Anyway if you want to learn from my mistake I recommend putting a liner in tanks of your bikes and ATVs with metal tanks. Draining them won't stop the rust. There seems to be two schools of thought regarding fuel tanks and long term storage. Completely draining is one of them. I've always topped of...

Chocolate bars wouldn't last long as a prep in my house either. When it comes to that kind of thing, every day suddenly becomes a desperate emergency requiring immediate administration of copious amounts of cocoa products. There are whole threads here and elsewhere devoted to short-term, long-term, ...

I had my eye on their 10" "sit in" Kayak. https://www.sears.com/sun-dolphin-aruba-10'-sit-in-kayak-ocean/p-00665620000P How the hell anyone sits in at only 10" long is a mystery I am dying to solve. I mean it would just barely fit my um, hand yeah, my hand would just barely fit. I am sorry, truly I...

You're talking about going "grey man" with an inconspicuous, low visual profile pack. I applaud you for thinking along those lines. A three-day pack would definitely put you towards the top end of your 20L to 40L range. And it'll be hard to get anything around 35L to 40L for under $50 that isn't jun...

Fighting zombies with a melee weapon offers a lot of difficulties. Number one being: you're fighting zombies with a melee weapon. Depending on whose zombie universe you're inhabiting, one has to worry at about disease infection vectors other than a direct zombie bite. :oh: http://www.youtube.com/wat...

In Florida, a threatened hurricane without people losing their minds and mobbing their local local wally world is like a morning without sunshine. It's just the way they do things down there. I know because I've been there multiple times during the build up to a big blow. Don't get me wrong, there a...

Same idea, but a bit more ambitious. My retirement plan?

Thread necro, I suppose. But the threat's still there and I didn't want to start a duplicate thread. This is an opinion piece to be sure, but still a bit surprising to see it in a media outlet like the New York Times. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/21/opinion/supervolcano-yellowstone.html?action=cl...

Welcome to both of you. Confusion is understandable. The trick is understanding that we don't take ourselves too seriously, maintaining a positive outlook is perhaps the most valuable prep of all, and we're usually thinking about disasters short of an actual, literal zombie apocalypse. Sometimes eve...

I always thought the F-16 was one of the most beautiful combat aircraft ever built. Not $8.5M beautiful, mind you. But beautiful nonetheless.

Far be it from me to defend the recreational outdoor gear industry's general migration away from subdued, earthy colors, which are my preference. I come from an era when the wilderness ethic included the strong belief that equipment should blend in, to reduce the visual impact of your presence in th...

Local authorities were telling people to add 45 drops of iodine to a glass of water.

45? Might be easier to just advise how much water to add to a glass of iodine. Yikes!

I be like: but they is good group of people zombies! They only want my family and I can always get another. So I tell them this is not my beautiful house! This is not my beautiful wife! How did I get here?

Before they can react, I say: where is that large automobile?

Glad you found Zombie Squad. "You're what I've been looking for!" Yes, we get that all the time. Hard to be modest under such circumstances, but we try our best to remain so. We've also found that as we make preparations for the possible inevitable zombie apocalypse, we somehow manage to be better e...
