I have no idea what that means but thank you

Because I can't say it anywhere else I'll say it here, I'd like to kick the crap out of at least three people I was on a T-con with this afternoon. Ignorant up themselves arseholes! Woosaah!!!

I totally agree, I've some fruit trees on my land and a good amount of edible vegetation. Recently I've been working on my foraging knowledge of indigenous edible species as well which is interesting and adds depth to the appreciation of the countryside around me. As I live on a massively overpopulated island my nearest available remote area is several hours travel from home and I don't expect that in a large scale event that the roads would be passable, therefore my first option would be an in situ one with a secondary bug out plan should that prove to be unsustainable.

I have looked at Katrina Paul as well as several other real life scenarios around the world. I've the basics covered, food, water, security, healthcare, comms but building a strong and prepared community is the most effective way of securing your own security. That is the most time consuming and difficult aspect but pays the biggest dividends in the long run. When the lights go out is not the time to start getting to know your neighbours and hope that they've taken some basic precautions. Another important aspect is skills and knowledge, attempting to grow your own food in a WROL/SHTF situation is not a good time to start also as our Kiwi friend pointed out, looking after your health now is vital to surviving in times of crisis. 'Soft skills' such as negotiation and influencing others ranks high too. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Yep, and the REALLY funny thing is that you're all only just realising it. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Please be clear if you want to insinuate something about nuclear weapons or the security of such weapons in the US, particularly at this base. If not, STFU. Also if not, admit that you're going for some sort of shock value here. If so, please let us know your experience with nuclear weapons and the security of those particular weapons, particularly at this facility. Thanks! edit: wow. nevermind...

'Sprayed fire' from an AR15? WTF? Unless it had a slidefire stock on it I call BULLSHIT! When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Remind me of that the next time there is a Katrina type event in your neighborhood. To many people seriously believe in the stability of the systems they use daily. Ask your self how would I cope without water or electricity for 5 days. If you're answer involves relying on anyone but yourself, you should see that as a problem and address it. Or don't. I'll be ok either way. Actually I took your advice here, I did go away and seriously look at the infrastructure for food, fuel and security. What I found was alarming to say the least. So I now have those areas covered. Having seen how quickly society broke down during the last lot of riots across England (which happened just seven months after your post) when (not if) the next ones come along I'll be better prepared to look after my family and community.

Look, we get it already. You're the world's preeminent superpower, and we (Canada) just happen to be your neighbor. However, to imply we should feel guilty or kiss ass simply because you think your armed forces "provide" our defense is akin to criticizing a badger for making use of the shade cast by an elephant. It's that kind of pompous rhetoric that tends to seriously piss off the average Canuck. Yes, you could militarily whip our butts in a heartbeat. For a short period of time. As many of your commanders have learned repeatedly since the 1950's, it might be one thing to take ground but it's a whole different game to keep it. And while I'm in the mood, I'm really weary of the oft-repeated disparaging remarks on these forums directed at the French. I find that arrogance absolutely juvenile. You're a World Power. Try to approach it with a little dignity. ETA: We do, however, feel guilty about Justin Beiber. Sorry about that. Yea, well said... Stop picking on the Frogs everyone!

America has a very large and exceptionally well equipped military but I'm curious in what other ways do you think that the USA is still exceptional? When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

this was a pretty fashionable belief prior to the crash. The future of the euro is still in doubt, though not as bleak as it looked two years ago. as bad as the dollar looks, the alternatives are worse. It may have been a fashionable belief but now it is a reality. The countries listed above are all dealing in oil not using the dollar and we're talking about some massive sums of money. The dollar was only 'underwritten' by the petrodollar after Nixon unlinked it from gold. Interestingly enough I saw this today: http://rt.com/op-edge/china-control-world-currency-707/ I'd give the USA less then five years before the dollar collapse and actually think it will be much more rapid then that. I'm not hoping that is the case far from it, Sterling won't survive and the Euro is barely breathing as it is. I'm thinking the Yuan is the next big thing.

What are you basing that fiction on? The increasing number of jobs, better than expected economic growth and increased international trade? I'm not saying the US is great by any standards, but your statement is just ridiculous. You should write for The Sun with that level of fantasy and hyperbole. Russia, China, Iran and Syria & India are no longer trading oil in the US dollar and its just a matter of time before other countries follow their lead. Without the Petrodollar the USA is screwed. http://www.usdebtclock.org US national debt has been growing at $1.94 billion per day since September 30, 2012. Its a debt that can never be paid back and its only a matter of time before those that lend the USA money decide to raise the interest rates then hyperinflation and dollar crash hello.

Yes across the pond is correct. I don't know, the likes of JFK are few are far between. It doesn't seem to matter which side of the fence they're on these days they all seem to be as incompetent and crooked as each other.

I see, yes I believe you are correct and we'll be right behind you in the UK, the cost of social welfare has destroyed this country too. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca
