    Yeah but after you're done setting landmines and digging Camoflauged moats full of human waste with punji sticks, what else is there to do?


    Actually the situation with the Poacher/Moonshiner was not my most potentially dangerous run in with a back woods whacko this year.


    A few weeks after that I found a sweet deal on some snow fence... Had to drive 2 hours from home to get it...

    Guy lived down a po dunk dirt road 9 miles from the nearest small town.

    When I got there he had a tubular cage gate that was easy to open the first one and drive the truck in... The second one was locked and he was up in a "Deer Stand" across a field watching me through a scope... A bobcat blocked the way to the forest, where his place was a half mile back.

    It wasn't until I was following him down the road with the bobcat that it occurred to me that I hadn't give my wife the exact directions and address of where I was going.

    Guy could have pulled a gun on me and man raped me in his back woods compound and no one would have known where to look for me.


    At least the guy who fired the warning shots, my buddy's all knew where I was and expected me back in an hour or so or they would have gone looking for me.


    I guess you could say I need to work on my own personal safety protocols!

What you said previously about traps definitely holds true and that's the first thing I'd do, seems like everyone down here have hog traps and some even trap them and fatten them up for a few weeks before killing for a BBQ. I've seen the ones in the pen for a few weeks and they get quite tame pretty fast. Trap a sow or two with about 10 piglets and you're good for a little while, and those piglets will be breeding age I think in around a year. They'll eat anything so that's a huge advantage over other types of livestock. I would probably attempt to extend a very large and secure fence so they could root and feed themselves, but you run the risk of them breaking out if you're not careful and they're also exposed to theft and such.
    Yeah you put hunting pressure on anything smarter than a lizard and the population moves away... That's just the natural balance at work.
    But yeah my goal would be to get hands on a breeding population of wild pigs and tame them down.

    In Theory a wild hog/pig is just a domestic pig that's gone feral again and readapted in a generation or less to life in the wild. So you could In theory turn them back into a pig.

    Wild BOAR is a different beast altogether, they can't be domesticated... BUT Boar will find a place to occupy in the ecosystem and then the ecosystem keeps them in an almost relative check.

    The hogs down here will generally have up to 20% or so Russian Boar in their blood, but it's pretty rare to find something with more than that. I've seen a couple in my life that I would swear are 100% but that's pretty much impossible and what I saw was probably genetic throwback to their physical traits.

    Revolution tomorrow!




    Revolution takes place in a post-apocalyptic dystopian future.

    "We lived in an electric world. We relied on it for everything. And then the power went out. Everything stopped working. We weren't prepared. Fear and confusion led to panic. The lucky ones made it out of the cities. The government collapsed. Militias took over, controlling the food supply and stockpiling weapons. We still don't know why the power went out. But we're hopeful someone will come and light the way."

    I've never watched it (refuse to) but everything I have read seems to indicate that Revolution is a giant steaming pile of dog shit...much like most of the rest of the crap on TV.

    I'v watched every episode so far but i had to stop mid way through this weeks episode in part because after watching Jericho, and finishing it with in a week lol. I just can't watch Revolution any more. Its so...problem of the week (same problem Terranova had) that the story seems kind of broken up. And some of the characters are annoying. If you haven't seen Jericho its absolutely fantastic! and on Netflix.

    Yeah I tried getting into it... Too implausible on too many levels.

    It's basically NBC's attempt at making a LOST... But the thing that makes LOST work is that early on you get invested in characters right at the snap and then they grow.

    In Revolutions you get invested in the characters and then it flashes forward and half the cast is gone... Then you get invested in the characters and then they die or get left behind. Then you get invested in the characters as they travel and they get all wishy-washy and you can't figure out who's coming or going.

    Then the casting is off they're power hiking a fat guy who some how is keeping up with a bunch of 20 something's and the Villain General Monroe looks like he's 26 years old but he's really supposed to be 50.

    It ends up being too much haphazard story telling for me to forgive in the "Suspension of disbelief."

    That and you learn nothing really that translates over into real life. Even the "We paid our taxes last spring." Scene is dumb... No agricultural community ever pays tithe in the spring, Spring is the leanest time of the year because the winter stores are running empty and the spring plants haven't produced.

    It doesn't make me think "General Monroe is an evil guy for taxing people at a bad time of year."

    It makes me think "General Monroe is a dumbass who doesn't understand that it's best to tax people when they have a bounty, they are less inclined to hide their surplus and more inclined to show loyalty to your regime."

Ideally, I'd like to go to the area my mom's side of the family lives on, roughly twelve acres located in a rural farming and woodland area and near a National Guard helicopter flightline, like I said though, the logistics of getting all the materials there in a safe and efficient manner in the event of an incident would prove quite hard.
    Just shoot the looters on sight, you'll be doing everyone a favour.

    Got hell from the gate guards the other day, they eyed the back seat of my truck and could not stop grilling me about my e&e/ emergency med kits... They were seriously concerned I was privy to some sort of information of impending doom on the Ft. Bliss area... I tried calming them down with my 'it's better to have and not need, than need and not have' speech, but it was just not working for the lads....

    Yeah season 2 of that show is much harder to watch than season 1 was... Season 1 pretty much shook out every interesting idea worth thinking about or learning. Now it's just suburban nut jobs trying not to shoot themselves in the foot.

    Gotta figure with the low grade untreated scrap wood that most pallets are made out of that shack will probably last twice as long as it took to build it!

    Pfft... The deck and stairwells on the house I bought were Thompson'd 2 years ago... Already showing enough water effect from the dripping eaves that I'll have to redo them this spring/summer.

    Back in 08 I built a really fancy picnic table. I used scrap pine just because I was learning so I could later produce more and sell them, didn't want to learn from my mistakes on expensive cedar.

    Then I took the table and I put multiple coats of spar urathane on it. Which is basically boat varnish, within 16 months outside after rain, snow, and sun the varnish was basically worthless.



    What's probably a better solution is to get to know the guys at a lumber yard or a saw mill that goes through a decent volume of cedar (Or Redwood, or by some miracle Cypress) All rot resistent/bug resistant woods that don't require you to keep applying deck varnish etc...

    There are often scraps and flats... Sections where they cut off the roundness of the tree/log that just doesn't have enough in it to use as a board. They'll usually sell those for firewood and they just sit on a big scrap pile. If it's a back country place they'll usually let you sort through it and take what you want for free or for dirt cheap.


    Another option is to look in country newspapers for guys who are tearing down old barns. Back in the day Barns were made with some pretty high quality lumber from old growth trees, a good portion of the wood is weathered and has lived the test of time.

    You can help tear it down and cherry pick the best wood for what you want to do. Even if 10% of a good sized barn is still premium yet weathered wood, that's enough wood to build a 2500 square foot house!

    I was just about ready to bump this thread. My prepping has come to a standstill, due to an agressive debt reduction strategy that I've started recently. At least, the purchasing part of the prepping. Now I'm focusing on honing what skills I have, learning new skills, and learning how to make do with as little as possible.
    The hardest part of a zombie apocalypse will be pretending I'm not excited.
