BOBBI

BOBBI

[ this could be construed as an informal continuation of the two part article Shelter In Place that ran around the beginning of the month ]. Bug Out, Bug Back In, BOBBI.  Flee, camp, return after die-off.  A lot of us are living in congested areas.  There just isn’t all that many small towns anymore.  Not ones that aren’t too close to others, or that have jobs.  We all have to work and even picking the least congested area within commute range, more than likely there are STILL too many people living there.  The population is fed century old data to give them the illusion this is still the land of plenty and no one makes a fuss about the mouth breathing resource users packed in arsehole to elbow.

*

The Great Depression was central bank inflation induced, but of course there was also overproduction ( the current cause also, for this Greater Depression-banker and corporate greed ).  The farms were mechanized, and food was thrown away and there was still too much.  And that is the propaganda we are still fed today ( get it? “fed” ), as you can see with the Public Service messages on TV ( or in most of our cases, YouTube ). “40% of all food in this country is wasted” or some such drivel.  And while technically true, some caveats.

*

First, the ads make it sound like people just buy food for craps and giggles and let it rot.  The ad shows a bypassed box of strawberries going bad in the fridge.  Most food is tossed by the supermarket because it is blemished or otherwise not worth full inflated price.  The store throws away food to jack up prices.  And, I’d wager a lot of that figure they use is food processors feeding livestock their waste.  Sure, there is fridge orphan food, and restaurant leftover waste, but that is no where near their purported numbers.  So why do these ads run?

*

My guess is that this is indeed a public service announcement.  To condition the bread and circus masses that we are still the land of milk and honey and we could never starve.  Remember when Hollywood was in serious trouble shortly after the 2008 Crash?  A glut of government ads subsidized them, as well as car ads once Detroit got government money ( sure, the Forest Service will replace their fleet with your vehicles.  Now, here is what you’ll do for us… ).  TV is necessary to keep the masses sedated.  Of COURSE ads have political purpose.

*

And, yes, of course there is plenty of food here, even when you know the illegal immigrants are a lot more numerous than admitted.  We also have a glut of oil right now, and since oil is food, food is in quantities that some waste is encouraged.  Yet, half of our domestic oil is fracking, and fracking is a short lived bonanza, already ten years into production.  As goes oil, so goes food.  My guess about these “land of abundance” ads is that we are set to get a lot more immigrants or a lot less oil, or both, real soon.

*

So we probably don’t have all the time in the world to wait for retirement or wait for savings to get to an even smaller populated area.  I’m not saying the entire country goes WROL as soon as food gets a bit scarce.  I’m merely saying that there are long laundry lists of issues getting short shifted that are going to drive you out to safety, long before the mythical Big Flush we all seem to be planning for.  A simple return to 1970’s levels of crime would do the trick.

*

Think about the 1970’s.  We were still a homogenous WASP country, in large part.  The worst crime areas were where immigrants had congregated, such as the Puerto Rican New York area ( to grossly simplify, obviously ).  Now, not only are immigrants everywhere, the whole country has been Diversity Is Our Strength integrated, AND as a special bonus every remaining White enclave is beset by the crack cocaine criminals.  Return to another job killing economy like the 70’s, and the crime rate will be far worse.  It already happened, so this isn’t Fear Porn.  It is just a rerun of past problems.

*

Also, I’m not suggesting that once crime soars everywhere that you should bug out.  I’m suggesting that the reason for the crime surge is going to be the reason to bug out.  The crime should be an indicator.  We aren’t going to see a repeat of the 70’s, where our industrial economy collapsed.  We are going to see another economic collapse.  But while it took a few years to shut down factories and ship them overseas, since our economy is now pure financial manipulation, it won’t take very long at all for the economy to drop to the bottom.

*

It might not be “complete shut down overnight by EMP” as most of those stories so portray, but it is going to move at a far quicker pace than any of us desire or can adjust to.  And hence the BOBBI strategy, which is about the cheapest and quickest preparation I can think of.  If junk land is too far away, and there is no way you can move out of the city, or even if your small town still has too many folks encamped there, the best you can do is a bug out.  But bugging out alone is retarded.

*

You cannot travel with enough supplies, and there is nowhere to bug out to.  Obviously, heading for the hills ( living off wild food ) is not viable.  And neither is storage rental, from reports from more than one minion.  There is Sheltering In Place, and that isn’t the worst option, if you can afford the criminal, fire and mob proofing.  If you won’t be able to get around that, you’ll need a cache at a bug out location, and then a hidden cache at your homes location.  Even with a hardened home, a cache is still a good back-up.

*

The idea is to bug out, hang around at a much safer location eating from your cache, then return home to your much bigger cache that is buried or hidden.  Sure, a huge hidden cache away from the city would be great, but this is a more cheap and quick, better than nothing strategy.  I’ve buried dozens of buckets before, and it isn’t an afternoon activity.  It takes awhile unless you are a really young buck.  Better to plan on a minimal cache away from your home.  I’ll continue tomorrow.
