I would say it’s funny, but there have already been plenty of posts by people who seem all too happy to include long pork in their post-collapse diet plan

Well, maybe a couple of steps removed.

I posted the Maggot Farm a while back. The flies lay eggs on the dead. The maggots feed the chickens. Eat the chickens and their eggs.

Not up for direct consumption of long pork myself.

Eating the current herd of long pig, contaminated as they are by all of the processed industrial “foods” and drugs they have consumed during their lives (plus the recent jabs), sounds like a fate worse than starvation.

this is the primary issue. the ones most likely to come at you are the most likely to be contaminated with aids, hepatitis, meth, and who knows what else. and virtually everyone else will be loaded down with decades of toxic preservatives and other poisons. humans simply are off the menu.

You can just buy more food with your Luciferin Globalists serf/slave nonfederal reserve-less fiat currency pretend digital money!

Whatever you do don’t Prep or build INDEPENDENT water/food production or hold ZERO COUNTER PARTY RISK 5,000 year old proven economic crisis hard assets like GOLD & SILVER or arm and train yourself to protect and defend your family/tribe/community like an honorable man…or you may be derided as one of those right wing nut selfish and dangerous Sheep Dog types.

But how many people actually say – “I know where I am going if shit goes down” (in reference to you). I know most of us stay on the low with things, but even the few that know what we do, yet are out of touch with reality, make those comments. I used to smirk and laugh it off. Now I respond – “You will be shot”.

You will be shot. One must mentally prepare for taking this action. I think about it fairly regularly now. I ordered a thigh holster yesterday online. Screw that hip shit. NC has open carry.

You are right. I am by far a trained killer. Killed many animals, never a person. I think when the protective instincts kick in, especially when your kids are involved, you will do what is needed. With that, I am mentally prepared to take whatever action is needed to protect my family. Any consequences, even mentally, after that I will have to deal with.

Please, Winchester.

You’ll sleep like a baby after the deed.

I mean, after you’ve finished disposing of the remains and cleaning up!!!

Just remember what J.B. Books (John Wayne) said in The Shootist:

I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren’t willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won’t.

“Now I respond – ‘You will be shot’.”

this is wasteful. you should say, “good, I’ll have lots of work for you to do to contribute to everyone’s survival.” and you should take charge and have that work lined up to go.

when you say it, check their reaction. that will tell you if they’ll be able to contribute or not.

Good idea … in the coming bad times — just like in the best of times — we can all use all of the best help we can get and give each other … 

No one will come out of this alone … folks will survive it and come through it in communities of like-minded and complementary-skilled folks coming together …

That works…I have a bull horn. I like the trespassers to be 200yds down my driveway so I can see them in the binoculars or scope. Maybe I will set up a call button…”Push here for assistance”. Give them some kinda chance I guess!

I’ve witnessed first hand not so much food running out but food getting so expensive that much of an entire county’s urban population starts going hungry. This happened in Indonesia in 1997 when the rupiah collapsed – Indonesia imported much of its rice and bean curd so after the currency collapse prices increased about 80% within 3 months. Riots ensued, the middle class fired all their domestic help, unemployment had to be 40% plus, and political instability worsened to the point of the IMF stepping in and mandating the direction of the country. Banks own Indonesia now but they do have much more media savvy leadership. Funny how the first thing that gets installed when a country sells out is a slick propaganda delivery network.

“not so much food running out but food getting so expensive that much of an entire county’s urban population starts going hungry”

the most likely scenario. simplest prep anyone can make is stocking vitamins.

Especially vitamin c. If fresh food is hard to come by, some Tang, or lime juice, lemon, etc. Peanut butter is excellent to store, has saved children from malnutrition.

The recent Jif recall has created a peanut butter shortage around here. My stash was part of the recall, so I returned it for credit and now finding good peanut butter is difficult.

IIRC, this was one of the Soros-sponsored currency wrecks … he profited from it while millions suffered … just like he always has …

Malaysian ringgit was the Soros currency wreck. Indonesia did it all on their own as their currency wasn’t internationally traded in 1997. After the Thai Baht collapsed and the IMF threw USD $4 bln at the Thai treasury, Suharto figured he’d get himself some of that IMF largess so Indonesia partially floated their rupiah expecting it to drop enough to get IMF bailouts so they printed up trillions of the rupiah that nobody wanted. Presto – hyperinflation. Who woulda thunk that?

I would consider an Asian but I don’t care very much for dark meat. 🙂

Some of these hefers would be too much work trimming the fat layers off. Too lean and they are tough, stay with slightly plump.

•Capitalism is when you have a church potluck due to P/L business cycle supply problems.
•Communism is when you must eat your pets due to committee unanticipated supply problems.
•Satanism is when you eat your family due to contrived social problems.
