Why does talk of SHTF remind me of Fundie Xtians talking of the End of Days or the militia types and the apocalypse?

its probably closer than you think, going on what is happening in the world today.

uh huh



I had enough of that crap from the likes of cathar/spellbound over on DIF. All the doomsayers, be they New Age, Fundy Xtians or Survivalists, seem to me to share a barely concealed enthusiasm for other people's suffering and death.

I'll put it your way...

They might "pretend" to warn or care by handing out advice and forecasts, but they don't. How can they? They don't know these people!

I often wonder whether all this prep for the SHTF makes one a little impatient for the Big Splat.

I mean, what's a few million deaths when you get to use your new Swiss Army Knife fur realz, eh?

Hey pal, YOU are the light relief/waste of time. You're just too up yourself to know it. :

I mean "prepping mates" ffs

Just listen to yourself.

ok Mikey, if your so damn clever, these people in Surrey that were flooded over the Christmas period and had no power since Christmas eve, complaining to Cameron that they had been "abandoned"! imagine that was you....it probably is since you don't believe in survivalism/prepping. now my "prepping mates" and I are fully prepared for such an event, we wouldn't be caught napping in the first place but that's immaterial, we have items and skills which would help us overcome this event and enable us to carry on in a fairly normal fashion until normality is restored..OR NOT..as the case may be.

I don't have to imagine: I was in Japan, a couple of hundred miles from Fukushima when the Tsunami hit. We got a fuck of an earthquake at the time. In fact we had quite the bunch. Earthquakes are something that you HAVE to train for in Japan, of course. Along with typhoons and blizzards, landslides and eruptions. Nobody at these meetings refer to each other as "prepping mates" IIRC. That remains, it seems, the domain of back-slapping smug misanthropes that can't fucking wait for the SHTF moment. Fucking wannabes. Anybody coming through a real disaster does not tend to bring it up in every conversation IME.

Japan deals with storms like we just got every year btw. So yeah. Talk of emergency response times and infrastructure is valid. Cos those of the UK (leaves on the line/inch of snow etc) is fucking pathetic.

Mikey, this is for you and all the non believers out there: www.shtfplan.com/emergency-preparedness/...non-prepper_05052013

Check it out folks: I'm a non-believer. LOL

For god sake, why do people around here not just accept people for their ideas and beliefs?
This "I'm right, your wrong attitude" is getting tedious on almost every thread.
No wonder Feather has done a runner, Abs is conspicuous by his absence.
Well I've got more enjoyable and productive things to be getting on with, than coming on to a forum which is fast becoming steeped in holier than thou attitudes.
So bite me for being better than yous lot!
