BABY PREP STEP
Before we start, a heads up. Black Cat Dude is posting again:
*
Today, as ever since posting became free and every
swinging dingus out there pastes two hundred ads on a web page and thinks they
can be the next Rawles, yet again yet another newbie advice on prepping that
yet again makes my ass itch to the point you just know I’ll have to start
digging in with my nails and cause bleeding.
So, thanks for making my ass bleed, people. You know what I’m talking about. Build a bug-out bag, store up a weeks-worth
of food ( and then, ANOTHER!!!! ) and start learning all kinds of new skills
like canning and karate and using your Command Voice to arrest bandits in their
tracks!!!!! I am now a Ninja Master Of
The Universe, hear me roar!!!!! As you
might have gathered from all the explanation points, a habit I obviously picked
up from the Mogambo Guru ( who is still posting, if not at the same length as
originally because obviously you can only berate the central bankers and
implore the masses to stockpile gold and silver in a high pitched shrill voice
for so long before a little bit of the fight leaves you, a withered
disappointed shell of a man ), I’m seriously underwhelmed by this kind of crap. Where are you going to bug out to? For how long?
Are you returning back to your suburban home? Will it still be standing or merely be a
smoldering heap of charred pressed sawdust and moldy sheetrock? And why are you only stockpiling a week’s food
at a time? Does your budget only allow
so much caviar and truffles to be stockpiled?
A week’s worth of flour is $2!!!!
As just covered, you should be buying in six month increments. And learning canning? Why? To
can your friggin asparagus? For the cost
of a canner and a few boxes of jars, you can buy over a year’s supply of wheat kernels. Yes, canning meat is great. I doubt the beginner prepper has to worry
about that just yet. Canning can wait,
it is not a priority unless you are having a weekly militia meeting and need to
impress your friends how easily you will become king of the post-apocalypse
universe with three magazines worth of ammo for your carbine and a case of
pickled beets. And all these skills you
are learning- are half of them really relevant to your life in the suburb? Or is it just a fantasy fodder along with
your subscription to BackwoodsHome magazine?
You don’t plan on actually doing anything real like fleeing your urban
hell because you can’t abide the thought of paying off the fishwife when she
takes the kids. Good crapping God, learn
to think these things through a smidge before you parrot trite advice others are
selling as knowledge or wisdom.

Good advice Lord Bison. You lost me with "Fish wife". I sent you an e-mail about a week ago, don't know if you got it or ignored it?
ReplyDeleteLove the hair.
I'm pretty sure I never got it ( about 90%-the other ten percent is just to account for an increasingly bad memory ). Did you use the new email, @reagan.com? Or, I just didn't recognize and thought it junk. Please try again, and I'm sorry about that.
DeleteNope used the old one will do
DeleteI canned friggin asparagus this year. Haven't canned any pickled beets yet, and my Ninja Master Of The Universe skills are at an all time low.
ReplyDeleteYou are funny,
Dennis
I try to get you'all entertained so you don't go running over to other unnamed sites and buy an AR.
DeleteGlad to see Blackcat Dude back.
ReplyDeleteNice rant, Jim. Though you never explained "fishwife"...
Gil
Most of us have a fishwife. The definition is one, fish selling bitch. And two, "a course, scolding woman"
DeleteI have a question, Doesn't white flour go rancid over the course of .. like two years?
ReplyDeleteI'd trust it for WAY over two years. I don't believe it does go rancid as there are no oils left in it after processing.
DeleteAm I thinking about if someone were to grind wheat berries now and store that (as to be able to have it on hand instead of trying to find the time in the midst of a mess) would the fresh whole wheat flour have oils that make it go rancid. Or am I overthinking and brown rice and peanut butter the only one long term foods that go bad?
DeleteWhole wheat flour goes bad, as does brown rice, because of the oils. White flour has no oil. Peanut butter is like lard, since the oils have been hydrogenated. Eventually it goes, but the process has been artificially extended.
DeleteProbably my favorite article in the new blog. Absolutely brilliant, Lord Bison. You definitely 'got your gadfly on' for this one.
ReplyDeleteThanks- I must have been in A Mood that morning.
