malthus 1


MALTHUSIAN PREPPER

I detest wishy-washy pussy-men who can’t scare up the good sense to be worried about the future.  They are so afraid of minimal conflict, minimal loss of luxury and minimal effort beyond earning money, they would rather die along with their families in a suburban fairy tale land than acknowledge even a glimmer of the reality that is going to be our future.  Even more, I detest the Mammon worshiping snake oil salesmen who flock to churn out the least offensive pap needed to woo their customers into a false sense of security.  When men were men and sheep were nervous, hard talk about reality wasn’t such a taboo subject.  Of course, since some time back we seemed to have turned a corner and en masse embraced a collective dream of Potemkin Villages, every single activity and cultural practice nothing more than comforting façades ( such as female Marine infantry, imprisoning drug users longer than rapists or murderers, emasculating males in the workplace, to name but a few sickening examples ), I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that a case of MRE’s and a shiny AR-15 is all that is required to survive the complete and utter destruction of the Global Industrial Age along with all its dependents.  Let me be very clear here.  You can’t wish away the laws of physics.  And every soothing utterance sold at high dollar from the prepper hucksters attempts to do just that.

At a time when those afraid of our future most desperately need an idea of what to do to save themselves, they are surrounded by drooling brain dead Jerry’s Kids offering glasses of Grape Kool-Aid.  If any of you are even remotely connected to your primitive reptilian brain functions, you sense unequivocally that ill winds blow strongly now more than any time since the 1970’s.  You may not be able to articulate the reasons, but we all know, deep down past self delusion, self denial and wishful thinking, the gravy train has already derailed.  The conductor is cheerfully rambling on as if nothing is happening, while insurance salesmen are collecting insomniac passengers money as if they will make it off the train in time to spend it, and the 90% still asleep won’t wake up even as the first collision on the face of the cliff below the bridge throws everyone asunder.  The answer to survive is to open your friggin window and leap out, grabbing a sapling or branch, and suffer a few scratches.  Yet nobody wants to leave their fellow passengers.  They would rather buy worthless insurance and stay with the doomed crowd.

Hey, I get it.  We are social monkeys and act with exponential abilities with crowds, but with reduced capacity while truly alone.  No one is asking you to go it all alone.  Hell, it is almost impossible to BE alone anymore, every water hole packed way beyond capacity after a century of overpopulating as we grazed from the petroleum trough.  But you do need to exit the gravy train.  Which doesn’t even cost all that much money-but takes courage and willpower.  Everything in life has a simple answer.  We just are rather adapt at ignoring them.

  1. True words Lord Bison. Your use of metaphors was pretty evident in that post. BTW, the half book was good. Sure wish you would finish it, but the irregulars have already protested.

    1. I'm thinking about starting a new book, but in short story as chapters format ( each stands on own ). " Apocalypse MP's" -you might be able to guess what it might be about. No pressure time wise, take a break as needed, veer in new directions if desired.

  2. I think you hit the nail on the head- you have to leap from the train that is our crashing society - sure every minute you spend preparing to leap could help you survive with less bruising and scratching and maybe even more luxury, but if you aren't already hanging out the window, when the crash comes you are going to be crushed. And being stuck half way out the window might be worse than being crushed.
    I've gotten the paid off travel trailer, the paid off land, and am working the land almost every day to prepare it for the trailer and eventual deluxe BPOD.
    I am literally putting my money where my mouth is. And contributing here to push those still debating the basic wisdom of the core of Lord Bisons advice, to heed his advice and be ready to jump out the windows yesterday, as tomorrow may well be too late.

    1. Just taking this basic step, knowing you need to leap, makes prepping quicker and easier. Get your mind right and your ass follows. I must have been In The Zone, finally getting the analogy right.

    2. Now I am slightly less concerned with storing wheat or beans than most- I consider having a place to store it of prime importance, and am currently living surrounded by the area that was (prior to mass fossil fuel use) the leading grain and bean producing area of the USA (we also have LOTS of cattle). So if I have to I will glean from the fields during a crash, before my 12+ month stockpile is used up.
      Unfortunately I know my greatest vulnerability is to being laid off before the crash hits widely, so instead of more food, I am working on winter shelter (-40 degrees), water, and property tax payments - I would also like more ammo but I rank that as after food. What do you think are my priorities mostly straight?

    3. I wouldn't do anything differently. In an econ collapse you will freeze without costly fuel you can't afford, as the Sheriff's deputies are knocking at the door to repo- if the water shortage didn't kill you prior to that. Yes, you might need more food, but that is in the long run and even if we don't like it we must prioritize.
