horde hype 1


HORDE HYPE

For the longest time I had pretty much given up on Survival Blog after Rawles had both given up editing it ( not that the new guy screwed it up, just that there seemed to be a subtle change that was different ) and his last fiction book was a complete money grabbing pulp fiction hack job ( first book, wonderful, all others formulistic and no where near as good but still good reads.  Last book, complete Shiite ).  I still went there a time or two each week but was rarely impressed when each day was little more than holier than thou Christian wack jobs quoted scripture to each other ( as stated before, I’m sarcastic but understanding.  It is a tribal thing and I ain’t part of that tribe ).  I’m sure that there exists a school of thought that postulated that with a bible in one hand and a rifle in the other these Christian Warriors are invincible ( kind of what John Brown thought.  Or didn’t.  He might have known his cause was doomed but he did get the start of his war, didn’t he?  My point is all these fools who think they are John Brown miss that reflection and focus only on some righteous clause rather than cause ), but it seems a poorly thought out strategy for survival.  If you are a fundamentalist, and you eagerly await end times, are you prepping to survive or prepping to smite the unholy on your way off this mortal coil?  Remember when we put one of those in office with his finger on the launch buttons?  It’s a miracle we are not glowing the radioactive ruins right now.

Well, I kept plugging away at Rawles’ site, more out of a sense of duty to my loyal minions than anything else.  I had to keep my finger on the pulse of the DoomerSphere.  I can’t abide the legions of commercialized prepper sites out there that are little more than rehashes of how many Band-Aids to stuff in your Altoids ( the CURIOUSLY strong mint! ) tin while awaiting a word from their sponsors, so the furthest I’m willing to go into that fetid swamp of asshattery is to quickly peruse SHTF Plan blog and Rawles site.  No need to spend hours of my few remaining time units left on earth every day reading all the other crap.  Well,  recently I was pleasantly surprised with Rawles with two wonderful articles, the Paddle Wire article and Patrice Lewis’ The Harsh Truth About Bugging Out Of Cities.

I had never heard of paddle wire, and upon enquiry neither had the girlfriend who is quite artsy fartsy.  It is floral arrangement wire, wherein South American flowers are flown up to clueless Yuppie Scum consumers who mindlessly thrust ever increasingly amounts of dwindling resources into their maws in a senseless race to display ever brighter peacock feathers, paying the equivalent of a  months grocery bill for poor people for a bundle of tropical flours to appease the trophy wife in the dead of winter.  Well, evidently it is also for crafts as they sell it in Wal-Mart and such, a few bucks for a hundred feet of the small gauge metal wire.  What survivalist worth his salt can’t think of a dozen uses for cheap wire, right?  I was quite pleased with this tidbit, equal in my estimation to the articles on water softener salt and powdered bleach.  Survival Blog redeemed themselves making up for all my wasted time there, just in this one article ( and, yes, I know they might go back into a drought for the next few months ).  But, that was not all!  Along came the bugging out article.

  1. Jim I worked for a company that made electric fence wire 30 years ago. I still am using a 1/2 mile spool I got when I worked there. Cheap and useful .

    1. That might be a good figure to shoot for-decades worth of post-collapse wire.

    2. Most fence wire is sold in 1/4 mile lengths, so you probably want to pick up 2-3 spools for the same effect.

  2. Patrice is correct, to a degree, about that particular scenario. But you can already see a rural collapse in some areas, and both Argentina and Mexico have suffered partial collapses where the rural areas were much more dangerous than the dangerous urban areas. In both countries the partial collapse led to the abandonment of some small towns.

    In a partial collapse, what civil support system that remains will be concentrated in key urban areas. Utilities will also likely last longer.

    Partial collapses, slow collapses are much more difficult to deal with than cute little bug out, or bug in, scenarios for a lights-out scenario.

    1. Yeh, in slow collapses nobody rises up against the FedGov, for instance.

      Delete
    2. No they rise up but ineffectively as 'lone wolf' type scenarios. The one guy flew his cessna into an IRS building, another blew up a pre-school and ATF building, etc. As long as the collapse is slow enough the authorities keep collecting enough resources to get plants, informants, and agent provocateurs into any larger groups.

  3. I'm glad you are reading Rawles -so I don't have to. I agree with you about the books, but only made it as far as book 2. Only got that one because it was in the deep discount bin.

    I must admit to being a little butt hurt a few years back. I was contributing to Rawle's site until I made the mistake of sending in a piece about how to get grain cheap. At the time one of his advertisers was promoting pretty expensive nitrogen packed canned stuff, so I should not have been surprised to fall out of favor.

    The whole Christian Taliban stuff was getting old too, so there's that.

    1. I'm terrible with rejection. The few times I've submitted anything for publication ( the Loompanics piece was solicited by them, bless their hearts ) I've been soundly rejected. Perhaps why I always latch on to the gal that acts interested, to minimize being turned down ( this last one I actually grew a nut to ask out-after her signals were to obvious to ignore anymore, of course. But, anyway, no thick skin at all of course, so I self publish and hate all other publishers.

    2. Always date the fans, Jim! Also another Amazon purchase.

    3. I figure a gal has got to love me at least half as much as I love myself. Thank you for your loyal support! More books for me!

  4. Got a late start on it, but just finished up the Malthusian newsletter 3, and just now started to tear into the Sweet Survivalist 6 pack. Bang up job on the 3rd letter edition James, and the 6 pack, though probably a rehash of what I've already read on your blog, starts off promising. I hope the letter is selling well for you?

    Never heard of the paddle wire either, but sounds like a useful item to have on hand. The attempting to bug out from a major metropolitan area at the last moment I think was pretty much already a well known no brainer as to what you should never do.

    Got a scooter insurance quote today from State Farm. $32.00 for liability and collision for 6 months. My car is $179.00 for the same. Big difference, but I haven't yet decided if I want to risk it all on a “Donor Cycle”, even though I would make it a point to be on the road when the least amount of cars are present at any given point.

    1. It only takes one car, driven by the average dumbass, right? Survivalist Six Pack has mostly been run in serial form on my blogs so I'm sure you'll recognize all of them. I do appreciate the payment, of course. Third issue sold almost 50% more than the first two, so yahoooo! At this rate, the month prior to me dying it might be an actual income.

      Delete
    2. Yup, I'm first hand witness to one car, driven by an average dumbass.ln hindsight I'd much rather be able to walk normal. Really puts a crimp in bug out capability when ya can't walk far....So if ya gonna ride those things, be aware that no matter how careful ya are...sooner or later...idiots happen !

    3. Mostly for money reasons, but also using you as a poster child, the most I'll upgrade to is a battery assisted e-bicycle.

  5. Funny, I check these two sites out regularly. I rarely read the article on Rawles site. Not that I'm a know it all, but I've been at this nearly 40 years and BTDT for much of it. I did like the golden horde article though. (I'll wait for the post before commenting further on that subject though.) I mostly go to the end of the daily article and and check the links that are posted. The other site I do like is Peakprosperity.com. SHTF Plan is a whole lot of fear porn, but I do want to keep the finger on the pulse of what's getting everyone riled up, so I check it almost daily.

    As for that Paddle Wire. Never heard it called that, but remember setting those booby traps in the Army? They whistled or shot a flare up into the sky, depending on what you got to play with? I have several spools of that wire, which is green coated on a small wooden spool.

    1. I don't mind fear porn myself, but solutions are nice too.

  6. Whilst good nutrition is one of the most crucial facets of a child's health,
    what we should give our little ones to drink is as significant
    as the caliber of food we let them have to eat.
    Other than this, proper baby medicines are widely-used to take care of the health with the kids.
