OT: Dystopian Prole Future Preparation

[ThrustMaxwell]

Well gentleman, and ladies, as we all know this thing we call civilization could go up in flames at a moments notice. If Russia/China were to shutoff power/water (which they can completely do, as we can do to them) then it would take about 3 days for everything to break down and us begin to slowly re-enter the dark ages.

In preparation for this simple fact, we've slowly been selling off all the shit we don't need and getting ourselves mobile, agile, and hostile. The most recent acquisition is Lurlene. She's a 1971 Ledgerwood, right at 21'. She needs a little love, but don't we all? When we're done with here she'll be the mobile command center that everyone should own.

And yes, that is a broom holding the door closed. The previous owner lost the damned key, gonna fix that today and rewire all the brake/turn lights. Driving her home with no lights was an adventure.

My evil plan is coming to fruiting. The wife pulled it last night and said it was underpowered. I had to agree and showed her the supercharger/7th fuel injector info I'd been sitting on for a few months just biding my time...bwahahaha...

That's pretty similar. I can't find ANY information on this Ledgerwood on the trons. I'm gonna go with that makes it rare and more valuable.

I have come to grips with the fact that I will probably die within a week if that happens

I plan on murdering people and taking their resources, fully aware that there are others who will be better at that and I will die in a short period of time but I plan on making it more than a week.

Those poor farmers will get murdered within minutes of an apocalypse

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Now you have a place to hide your dead hookers atleast.

 

[Fillup Marschell]

I will just start making meth. Meth heads are good at finding resources.

 

[ShenaniganZ]

Bout two weeks in @ThrustMaxwell gonna be all Walter White out in the desert

We have 80 acres with running water and are slowly building in some solar and water generation. Do you have any skills/resources you can barter for entry when the time comes? I'm an Eagle Scout and Red Cross Certified Lifeguard (retired) if that helps any.

As soon as I get Lurlene roadworthy we're heading up to the High Plains, fo'sho. I've (re)learned something recently, gang. Life isn't what you think it is. You better enjoy that shit while you have it.

 

[ThrustMaxwell]

One. One dead hooker and the rumors start flying. This must be what Craig James felt like.

 

[ThrustMaxwell]

No, no, you're doing it all wrong. You either force them to become indentured servants or you invite them in under your protection in a cooperative community. No real in between.

I'm first aid and cpr trained and I am willing to murder your enemies and/or neighbors for supplies.

I would be great at deciding who should be allowed to survive and who should be exterminated

i've seen at least 5 episodes of Doomsday Preppers so I would be a most valuable asset

We still have a Sgt. at Arms position open, sounds like you might be in. We seem to both be very much in the Israeli though process on this in that you have to surgically and precisely kill off your enemies before they can inflict real harm on you.

I just read an incredible book on the subject. If we were choosing teams on the playground right now, I'd go Israel QB, Jordan WR, and I'd have Poland at Flex.

How would you feel about overseeing a group of indenture servants? There are always positions in middle management.

@Harvey Specter - have you ever owned a PT Cruiser or a Seiko watch?

 

[ShenaniganZ]

@Harvey Specter - have you ever owned a PT Cruiser or a Seiko watch?

I'm guessing a Sebring.

 

[ThrustMaxwell]

I think we should convince @WirelessDamnEngineer85 into helping us design and implement the communications system. Then kick him out into the wild for being a dick.

Do I really want to live long in that world? Not sure. Maybe just go nuts for a couple of weeks and then give in. I'm too lazy to do the legwork to get ready for it and also to grind through it all. I'll just go down in a machete fight or something

Read (re-read) The Beach. It'll inspire you, one way or the other...

In further effort to reduce the things we own, the woman I share a tax return with has started a Mid Century Modern resale business. I'm helping with some furniture restoration and social media. Buy some shit for your wife, I'm out of room.

Indeed. I have a face for radio.

 

[Harvey Specter]

Did y’all sell your house as well?

 

[ThrustMaxwell]

Did y’all sell your house as well?

No, but we might in the near future. I have some irons in the fire in the Denver area.

Person standing by the RV looks to be strait out of Season 1 or Season 3 True Detective. Plays with green paint for sure. Prayers to OP.
