MORE PANIC SHOPPING
Well, I had a nice long article already written up
yesterday I was going to post as today’s second post but the thing kind of bite
me in the ass. I had written about how
wonderful epoxy was and how I improved a belt knife and then the damn thing came
undone on me hours after the maximum curing time and the whole concept went
into the toilet. Now, I know I told you
that you only get one article on holidays, but my radiant hair and my giving
nature compelled me to include the second one.
It was going to be epoxy, but now you just get a quick update on my fevered
panic buying. I always have 101 reasons
why I’m in a panic stockpiling as quickly as possible. This time, besides possible impending
unemployment ( I heard rumors of thrift store sales down almost as bad as
Wal-Mart, and that’s bad ), I’m getting tired of every swinging dingus out
there jacking me on price just so they can continue paying their mortgage and
the SUV payment and buying skittles and crack.
Why is it my fault you are a moron, a douche and a rectal sniffer? Six months ago I was looking for a Mk9no1
Enfield bayonet ( the knife one rather than the tent stake ) and they were
going for thirty to fifty bucks. Today,
the few that are left, $100!!!! They can
all kiss my ass. I went to
and bought four of the mk2’s for $12 each ( two years
ago, Shotgun News ad price $9- I can live with that increase ). Okay, they’re only good for sticking rather
than cutting. I know they are
inferior. But I figure sooner rather
than later, everyone else will conclude as I have that they are the only bayonets
left and jack up the price on those, too.
I already have one spike and one knife bayonet, but that isn’t enough
for four rifles, now is it? And I bought
four more to get free shipping. Also,
for those that agreed with me about panicking on the Russian surplus 762x54r, I
see Sportsman’s Guide is out of stock on them.
Good call. Good minions! Biscuits for you.

I panic over firewood. If for some strange reason I can't travel south for the winter, I'm going to need a pile of it. It's my sole source of heat, provides most of my cooking, and most of my hot water. September is serious panic month as that's when I notice the pile is still too small. Gathering firewood with handsaws in deep snow and dragging the trees to the house sucks. It can be done. I've done it. It sucks.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad its not just me who panics regularly.
DeleteFor long term survivalist, I think it helps to be spooked every once in a while. Otherwise, we eat all our preps and use all our toilet paper without replacing it with new.
ReplyDeleteI try to have at least two "D-days" every year --spring and fall -- where I say that by such and such date is the big one. I inventory and restock everything.

I like the lack of digging ( down deep, anyway ) for tire walls.
