I mean lets say you live in a town full of transexuals and gay men... You will inevitably make more money selling sex lube than gun oil.

I'm sure if there was a zombie apocalypse going on nobody would worry about going to their daily job as a cashier at dollar general.
Free food access everywhere.

I'd mainly focus on getting a hummer or big a*s truck and a year supply of gas.
Then focus on guns, ammo, and melee weapons.
I'm not taking any females with me.. if I've learned anything from watching TV, b*tches will only slow you down.

I got a stockpile supply of porn videos on my cellular device and I got 2 functioning arms.
Females will want to have sex then they get pregnant then u gotta worry about zombies and a baby smh, leave the hoes behind.

Once i get my truck and guns/weapons I'll most likely get a sh*t load of cookies and pizza type items with a convientional toaster oven and if by some chance wifi is available I'll update my ******** status every 2 hours.

Not sure if kid is trolling or serious...........

Well, we live in Ely, Iowa. Small town of 1700 or so stuck between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City. Even though the housing developments are sprouting up, we're still a small farming community. I'd say the customer base would be the small town farmers and hunters that don't want to go into the city to get a box of ammo, the bicyclists that need something, and most importantly, I'd cater to the city kitties moving out to the suburbs that are paranoid and know nothing about real survival and prepping.....

Well, one thing I can say as a guy who's gone from the city to the country/woods is price.

If I need something... I have three options.
1. Find it in town (My small town 10 miles away has 6500 people and has the amenities of a 10-15K town) But prices are usually 20% of what I'd get it for in the city, unless I go to Walmart.


2. Order it and pay the shipping cost added on. And of course wait 3-7 days to get it.

3. Drive to the City and back (Which is around 6 gallons of gas which is often more than the shipping cost of ordering it on line.)


So if you had a store in my town, you'd have to have what I wanted for cheaper and/or faster than those 3 options ^^^

Now if you did... I'd be in there once a week buying other things... And I don't have to tell you that in a small town repeat business is KEY.

So I would look at what the locals need... 22 ammo, shotgun ammo (Rifle if it's a rifle zone for deer hunting?) Basic Auto parts and lawnmower oil filters and fan belts etc...

It's being really sharp about your inventory, and controlling your overhead (Cost to rent the building mostly) that will make or break you.

[Hartski]

Update-The flower shop in town went under, and it was in an old bank building..........and it still has the vault.......... There is a garage in town that is open 7 days a week, so I wouldn't be carrying any auto parts or stuff like that.

anyone watch that Naked and Afraid survival show


i was proud at the girl from hawaii but that guy was acting pretty douchy

Loved that show. The wife and I stumbled across it a few nights ago. Forgot we had dvr'ed it. didnt see that episode. Caught the one with the chick from NH, Laura something. The guy turned in his man card before filming.

[lhprop1]

Has anybody been watching this Doomsday Castle show?

My thoughts are 'meh'. If it wasn't for the hot chicks, I'd probably have only watched the first 5 minutes of it.

I've refrained from watching it. Looks too gimmicky for its own good. The type of show non preppers watch just to laugh at.


^^Naked and Afraid is pretty interesting

That's exactly what it is. The daughters are ok to look at, though, and one of them loves to show cleavage.

[Hartski]

From what I see on commercials, the show would be better if they focused on building the castle and left out the prepper aspect...

I've always wanted a castle......

I saw previews for it but life has been WAY too busy for me these days to watch anything on TV except for Football.

But I think you're right, it's crazy that someone would build a catapult, when most people have one already sitting in the back yard.

I'm starting to come to the conclusion that taking care of a 6 month old daughter is just easier for me to do alone than it is with someone helping me.

need to weld a steel plate to the windshield like the van in MASK

Hmmm... I must have missed that scene in the movie Mask where Cher welds a metal plate into the car so no one can see her hideously deformed child.

I guess it's been a lot of years since I've seen that movie.

who watches cher

[Hartski]

Hey, Cher still has one of the most powerful voices out there. Besides, Sam Elliot was in Mask with her.

You want me to edit a No Homo into that for you?

[Hartski]

Appreciating a woman with musical talent should never need a no-homo tag.

Now if I was praising Rickey Martin or Justin Bieber, that would be different.
