re: #124 Targetpractice

These are the sort of knobheads that Glenn Beck was selling “heirloom seeds” and gold coins on the assurances that civilization was gonna end “any day now” and they needed to be prepared to ride it out. The ones that the “End Times” assholes regularly prey upon with “emergency food” buckets filled with instant mashed potatoes and dehydrated beef stew. We’re not talking the “doomsday preppers” who have a bomb shelter in the backyard with enough supplies to last (maybe) two weeks, we’re talking the ones who think some canned veggies and a hunting rifle is all they need to get through a winter.

IOW, we’re talking the ones who are gonna be shooting their neighbors over a dented can of onions a month after shit goes down.

I keep telling my brother (who has been sinking a significant proportion of an accident settlement he got a couple of years back into gold coins with the expectation that the SHTF) that you can’t eat gold and he’d do better to stock up on provisions and then cook and use and rotate through said provisions. That’s the thing about prepping, you have to cook and rotate your supply because eventually that stuff goes bad.
