Now imagine what those folks will be doing when the SHTF and they think you have food.... Hmmm.... I think we might need more ammo.

[JUSTIFIED]

Went back to the store this morning for the 5am deals. I couldn't believe how few cars were in the parking lot. I went in and there were more employees then customers. I bumped into a friend that works there and she was saying the sales last night were real low and they didn't run out of stock on anything including electronics. When I got to the front of the store I counted eight cashiers standing in the isle and maybe five actually checking people out. Lowe's seemed to be busy but Jc Penneys wasnt.

Not good signs at all.

For sure. I heard folks are traveling much less for Thanksgiving and a poll showed folks spending much less for Christmas. I wonder if the low Thanksgiving turnout will prompt even better Christmas sales?

The only Black Friday sale we went to was on the Shelf Reliance website. More wheat, freeze dried fruits, vegi's and meats. We got $696 worth of product for $236.

I don't know. One news report said black friday sales in stores were low but deals on line had increased from last year 17%. It just might be the way people are shopping.

For the first time in a LONG time, we did not go to the Black Friday "extravaganza" at our Wally World. We are in full "prepper-mode" now, and the "toys" at Walmart aren't "prepper-qualified".

I will predict right now that this year's holiday sales are going to be well below expectations.

Fully HALF of the voters in this country are complete IDIOTS, and the U.S. economy is tiptoeing along the edge of the cliff. Who in their right mind is going to waste money on iPads and iPhones and other worthless gadgets, when food and water and shelter and protection are the BASICS that allow for survival?

If you want to buy Christmas gifts that make sense, buy silver coins, food, firearms, fishing equipment, hunting equipment, and water filtration gadgets.

Don't assume that everyone is on Square One.....

We picked up a couple of TV's last night at Black Friday, they will offer bigger views of our cameras that cover the areas that our Seismic Intrusion Detectors and various other Perimeter alarms cover. When an alert is heard, we will simply glance at the TV screen and not EXPOSE OURSELVES to check it out. Power? Our alternate energy system covers the little draw all of these pull.

Can we live without these? Of flippin course.... Do we have MULTIPLE other options in these regards? Yes, hell yes... Do they make sense for SECURITY at our SURVIVAL RETREAT, your damn right they do.

We don't have cable or satellite TV. We don't live in suburbia or in a city....

Glad to see your in "full prepper mode" now, but don't assume that everyone else is on Square One also. Some of us have been living this stuff for decades now ;) So understand that what you call "toys" that are not "prepper qualified" have real uses to people a lot further along (you know SURVIVALISTS) than you might currently be.

i've been to that walmart. the town has lots of alien type folks. watch the video. you can pick them out.
you can hear them. miked hit the nail on the head.

Wow, are we having a bad day? Where in my comments did I state that EVERYBODY ELSE in this forum was on "square one"? I didn't.

I specifically mentioned iPads and iPhones, and "worthless gadgets". I never said a WORD about TVs that can also be used as monitors.

We also have a surveillance system, BTW. I'm assuming you have a DVR hooked up to your surveillance system?

We've been prepping for several years also, but I don't see very many people in here doing a lot of "fist-bumping" and "chest-thumping" about it. I don't think that "show and tell" is a game that should be played amongst the preppers. Aren't REAL preppers more likely to be "stealthy"? Makes sense to me.

Your attitude sucks, you came off as a jerk in your first post on this thread.

buy silver coins, food, firearms, fishing equipment, hunting equipment, and water filtration gadgets.

"Full prepper mode"- well if that's like 3/4 of the thousands of the new crowd I've met, that means you have bought a couple months of food, a $20. water filter and a rifle and probably have never used any of them.

You don't get it at all, your attitude sucks and frankly I have no time for shenanigans right now. I'd say "wow! A couple years, I'm impressed!" but that would probably be "chest thumping" which you obviously did NOT do above with your "why would anyone other than

"half of the voters that are complete idiots"

buy

the "toys" at Walmart (that) aren't "prepper-qualified".

Buh bye, no time for your attitude. That part (the attitude) at least does fit the "prepper mode"- always assuming stupid crap, not thinking to ask instead of running their mouth, and full of pride for what little they have accomplished or done in the little time they have been around and of course ASSuming that everyone is on Square One like they are (that means just getting started BTW).

And besides getting over being sick, this is why I stayed at home:

Hope neither were wearing hoodies and carrying skittles.



Too soon?

LOL.

My nephew went with us the other night. He asked "so people will be shoving and pushing and stuff?" I said "probably not unless you do."

"So what if I fall down?" I told him "around here, the worst that will happen is someone will help you up, you'll be embarrassed, and we'll all laugh at you."

I was out in the woods. Closest store is a mini-mart and a country five and dime/hardware store and that was 22 miles away.
The only stampede I was lookin fer was a stampede of whitetail to fill the freezer with!
