Of these nuclear plants, 36 have two or more reactors". Maybe with all this prepping for the future we should indoctrinate ourselves with how to die as well. <br /><br />Without blame towards anyone, also not to forget "Salvation"; that is when you creep so near to death, that our seemingly lifes purpose, devaluates; the nearer we are strewn to the cross. It's too bad we couldn't figure how to adjust our lives to incorporate "common sense" of how high we stands on the shoulders of our ancestors.<br /><br />On the subject of reading material, Poetry challenges our distinction with reality enough to read as though T.S. Eliot were an old testament Prophet , nearer to Revelations than "I shudder to think". <br /><br />https://commons.wvc.edu/cvanderhart/hum101/Handouts/TSEliot_WasteLand.pdf<br /><br /> Of course there are many false prophets; as they bring out, within us, (a sense) to justify? our cognition of the quandary before us and exponential as we breathe. Only the good Lord knows the time of things, we are left to fiddle with our contempt without justice until the fur realizes how patterns condone adjustments, and reflect the wise. A culmination of how the tower of Babylon always falls cyclical once certain conditions are met, though wouldn't it be really nice if the apocalypse was brought by our creator and not the hand of man?<br /><br />Are you prepping to loot food the rest of your existence, or are you a food producer?<br /> <br /> I believe most Americans are just going to lock themselves inside their tombs, especially the ones alive artificially through the use pharmaceuticals and besides, it's not long after our passage from this lifetime that we are born again in this same routine time immemorial. Three days without water when the pumps run dry of electricity; How lifes purport changes with carrying water from the nearest wet spot. I am not insinuating "to give up" if and or when a SHTF event were to happen. Though, if you have made Peace ahead of time, and a moment in time occurs when there is no recourse forward, then your (our) inevitable passage become mystical.<br /><br /> Sometimes you can consciously see the route of your incarnations like the reflection of sky in two palm meld with water. The moment between two successive footsteps is often taken for granted , like our life's itself or the passage between our life's? How well we have lived, and what it could become?

As far as the proper weight goes, I don’t know what the rule of thumb is, but the better blankets, such as the Hudson Bay blankets, weigh about 7lbs for a twin size. A customer posted a picture of a tag for one of those Polish blankets, and they are only 50% wool, so I’d steer clear of that one, and concentrate on the Russian and NATO, 100% wool blankets.<br /><br />Here’s what I would do. Get 2 or 3 of either the Russian or NATO blankets, and use them as a layering system. One would be fine in summer, and in winter, double, or even triple them up. After all, they’re only $29 for a 100% wool blanket!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-71048427573309042382019-12-11T06:33:19.146-08:002019-12-11T06:33:19.146-08:00I would not go below 80%, and anything under 3-3.5...I would not go below 80%, and anything under 3-3.5lbs is worthless in real cold ( 4lb is perfect ). You can use the light ones, but you need to add insulation in a sandwich, say, a cotton comforter ( a non-feather puffy blanket. Sorry, I'm just about to get my first cup of coffee ) between two thin wool.

I suppose the main part of it is the shelter and air filtration. But what about animals/livestock? I would think that few above ground animals would survive. You would almost need a set up like that Blast From The Past movie, where the family had an underground warehouse, and you’d also need to have a sort of subterranean Noah’s Arc sorta thing going on. But now you're getting into Rawlesian survival funding. <br /><br />Just remember that when you emerge 25 years later, the meaning of many words, has changed entirely (gay, etc).

I can do math, as long as it isn't algebra :) While true that we turn a blind eye to Saudi activity because of PetroDollars, the PTB must know that game is almost over, plus Saudi is almost a Has Been ( look how quick Mexico stopped exporting-Saudi doesn't have magical unicorn exemption ). I'm not sure what to make of the attacks. Just having civilian police there on the base makes me question things. Off hand, I'd say we do nothing more because it is small enough to sweep under the rug ( like Fort Hood [ or was it Bliss? ], with the Habeeb officer shooting infidels ). But honestly I have too little information.

Didn't the "bitch" sell nuclear material to an enemy a few years ago? Besides, it's not the nuclear stuff itself that is fearful but rather the assholes that are in charge of it or get ahold of it. A gun laying on the table is harmless until an asshole picks it up. But yeah, like you, I too believe that the results from a nuclear event are so terrible that there is no sense in worrying much about it. Once more time: my biggest fear is the everyday irresponsible and unaccountable gov't employee that through intent or negligence can get me killed or worse and it lives within a few miles of me or maybe even right next door. ghostsniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15644187165818782984noreply@blogger.com
