Default Re: The One Hundred Items To Disappear Off The Shelves First

Preparedness is not an event, a weekend, or a hobby.
It is a paradigm shift, an attitude adjustment.

You do not complete the list in a day, a month, or a year.
The list is never complete. There will always be something that needs tending, you just go about it with a different perspective.

What would you do if you were told that the pole shift would happen Friday at 4pm? Run out and buy a case of tuna? Being prepared turns a disaster into an adventure
or a challenge.

Most of preparedness is not your gear, it is your knowledge.

An individual with a bug out bag and no where to go is called a REFUGEE. Have some where to go to with supplies prepositioned or do not go at all.

Here one could have a bug out bag and nowhere to go. I suppose a kayak and fishing gear would be useful.

one of these would be really cool..if nothing ever happens, then the kids sure will have a great time playing with one of these expensive lifeboats standing in the garden..



i wonder which costs more: having a real good indoor sauna or one of these orange "garden-summer-saunas"


this "UFO" would be great for playing "alien invasion"

Seems like it would take an awful long time to have all of this stuff but I think it's a good hobby to print out the list and see what you can find second-hand, etc.

Would you mind linking the pages where you found these? I wasn't able to find the blog post on wired where these were described. Thanks in advance!

i don`t know if i understood you right..the lifeboats were just taken from google picture search..i got a link to a manufacturer somewhere in one of my harddrives but i can`t find the file right now...might be easyer to find it again through a search engine..
anyway,
the 100 items list comes from here..
http://baconreport.blogspot.com/2007...st-during.html

..have to admit, that i don`t get things right today..."something" is heavy "on my mind"... i must be just very tired

cheers
