Although im not going to any of the extremes that these people do, i often think about catastrophic preparedness and what i would do to survive such an event. Any doomsdayers out there?

Not a doomsday prep'er, just an old boyscout. I extend the "Be Prepared" motto into my daily life in regards to food, water, and basic survival necessities just in case the store suddenly runs out of goods. Having a large rotating pantry and a good garden are never bad ideas.

It doesn't matter how much food and guns and comic books you have stored in your underground bunker. Life is over when you run out of water. Those doomsday psycho's don't have a clue.

Going on national TV advertising the fact that you have lots of food, water and weapons will pretty much guarantee you'll be over-run when society collapses. These people have no clue what it would take.

That's why I have a few thousand gallons of dried water... just in case.

If I had to live life like they are preparing to do, just kill me.
Some of my favorite things to do are not ration my food, not sleep underground in a metal box and not have to kill somebody else over a gallon of gas to run my generator. |

When you speak English do people follow you around and throw up subtitles too?
