This is a Mormon practice! In fact, there are Mormon owed companies that made a killing on the Y2K panic
Yeah but at least they were selling the good stuff. They really know how to can food!

My JW father-in-law has about 500 rolls of toilet paper in his garage. I figured he was stockpiling it for the entire congregation.
Probably not a bad idea considering how full of shit they are.

Man Daniel, and to think we almost got off on the wrong foot! I'm starting to think you could watch my six anyday. My thinking on this drug thing has changed recently. I now believe it is none of the governments business if someone wants to "self medicate" themselves. They should however be held completely liable for any damage done to themselves or to others. The "War On Drugs" (another "war" that cannot be won) was nothing but a plot to take away more of our rights.
BTW, I have never done drugs, and have no desire to do them. But why should what other people do, as long as it does not interfere with my rights, be of any business of mine?...or the governments?
And manoman did you ever peal the right bannana with that comment on pot and Northern California! I smell the stuff in the air on a daily bases around here. And the Sheriff will not even respond to the report of "growers" unless there is more than 25 plants involved. As they say, the people have spoken, and they do not feel that pot is a big deal around here. Besides, whos to say who has a 215 and who doesn't?

In a true SHTF type situation, there would be probably very little you could not barter for with .22 Long Rifle ammo. But hootch and smokes are always a good bet too.
BTW, in the first phases of a SHTF type situation, gold and silver will not be worth much if anything. You can't eat it, or drink it, and it can't keep you warm and dry.

And if i had to do it, you can be sure you'd have one more vegetarian! I know its hypocritical of me, but I am a softy at heart and hate to watch animals suffer,
Same here. I hate to see animals suffer, and always go for the quick clean kill. I believe that most hunters feel the same way.

We are deeply connected to our earth, our environment and other beings human and animal. We have a relationship and interdependence that is undeniable, yet we deny it in a hundred little ways every day. Some brave souls, like to go out into the woods, or the oceans, alone, and remind themselves of this relationship, contemplate this connection. It can bring deeper understanding of ourselves and our world.
You do have a way with words. You really do. I sometimes forget that not everyone was raised on a farm like me, or spent countless hours hunting with their Dad....and then cleaning the days hunt for the pot. Not to mention all the other things that I did on the farm, that I forget not everyone has a clue about.
There is a line from the movie Red Dawn that always made me think of the things my Dad taught me......"We can hunt, we can fish. We can stay up here a long long time."
I really miss my Dad.

Bears in the wilderness are usually more timid than bears near a park, and will not consider invading your space unless you have something they can smell, for example and kind of food, canned or packaged, suntan lotion, toothpaste, garbage, really dirty laundry, diapers, etc.
Yup. I was perticulary carefull with my food. Anything I did not eat was burned. And my precautions are never done when I have my friends with me. Some of them are VERY light sleepers, and are very in tune to any threats. Must have something to do with recently being in a war zone.

I mean you can camp almost anywhere, in thousands of parks in just California where I live.
And what a lot of people do not know, is that it is legal to camp anywhere in a National Forest or Wilderness Area. You do not have to be at an "approved" campground.

Good to hear from you Dan. And I agree completely that the pot growers are the biggest threat by far in the deep woods. And considering pot is the biggest cash crop grown in the county I live in, it does give one pause. This is another reason why when I go into a new area, (mostly scouting for new places to hunt) I always try to go the first time in "squad size." In other words with at least 3 or 4 other well armed and trained friends. One of the FIRST things I was told when I moved out here, was do NOT go into the mountains alone. And yeah, I still had to do it at least once. And BTW, I even got some grief about this from my "Gung-Ho" buddies. I had called them up and told them not to call my house looking for me that weekend, as I had told my wife that I was out camping with them. Hell, do you think my wife would have approved of this? But I did take my PLB, and left a map on my desk notated with my exact position, and the time I was due back. Besides, I have my wife trained not to worry until Search And Rescue calls.

So what is the appeal of camping if you have to be on guard against human predators, bears, cougars, snakes, mosquitos, etc? How can you enjoy yourself?
Well for one thing, going alone was just something I had to do because I feared it. I much prefer going with a few good friends. (ex military.) There is strength in numbers. Not to mention the scotch and cigars taste better with company. And how can I enjoy myself? Easy. Even when I was up there alone, it was something else to look up and see stars that were briliant bacause there was no city within 100 miles to wash them out. Also the shooting stars are always a treat. Not to mention just how clean everything smells. And there was always the chance that I could have shot Bigfoot, strapped him to the hood of my car, then spent the rest of my life on the lecture circuit, at thousands of dollars an hour.
