[Nick Leduc]

I have a hot wife. Post SHTF, I'm banking on prostitution laws will be nil.

I killed a 100 Iraqi solders with my MRE spoon!

 

[NH_Realtor]

I’ve read pretty much all the threads in the survival forum, so I figure I can get by on my NES credentials.

Before or after lunch?

 

[Penniepup1]

Before or after lunch?

After lunch, when I finished my cocoa powder with crushed crackers mixed with water.

Had I known when I was a boy that we may face this reality, I wouldn't have quit boy scouts, learned more skills, been more fit and outdoorsy. Now in my 40's, I have construction and mechanical skills that may or may not translate, but I got a family to feed, so I will probably have to reconcile the fact that I would need to be a stone cold killer, apex predator type and kill my neighbors and towns people for their supplies and food.
SHTF=everything out the window, including the constitution, the commandments, being a good neighbor . It would be 10,000 BC as far as I'm concerned.

If that is going to be your actual course of action, you'd be hanged in less than a week.

 

[Uzi2]

I can play guitar, sing and most people think I am funny...court jester?

One man USO!
People will crave entertainment.......you just might make it through.

See you do have marketable skills. Don't sell yourself short...

 

[Knob Creek]

I know a lot about some things and I know a little about almost everything.

So you're the a hole that didn't prepare and you think you can just go around killing to get what you need. Good luck with that.

 

[Wickedcoolname]

Workout every day and keep your bushcraft skills up. When shit goes bad the fit usually end up having to care for the unfit.

 

[neum69]

Kill you, take your food, bang your wife.



LOL.

I guess an upper decker and keys on the roof are no longer practical after TEOTWAWKI...

[Bando_Red]

I can do a really good yogi bear impression, like REALLY good.

I'd give ya a beer for that.

 

[fshalor]

Downloading a full copy of NES would add to my prep. (Is there an export to xml or csv button?)

Have multiple copies of survival manuals and docs stored in ways which can be retrieved without power grid and only battery or solar

Have engineering, logistics, and computing background. Can make cars work if they don't suck.

Mostly though, I think my tools will be what would give me a leg up. Being too far away from like minded inner trust circle people will be my downfall.
Also have tons of textbooks from science courses. Hard copy .

Small sampler selection of firearms and ammo.

Deficiencies:
More medical supplies
More ham gear (haven't replaced HF kit. Ha e a bunch or 2m /440 and frs gear)
Not running 5 miles a day anymore.
Don't shoot enough to be happy with my rifle skills .
Gave away my crappy but functional genset. Never replaced it .
Don't have enough stabilized fuel on hand.
Don't own a diesel.
Good lab grade glassware. I could build a darn good still and run it safely, but don't have anything on the list on hand.

Maybe that was my prep....

If that is going to be your actual course of action, you'd be hanged in less than a week.

I'll be the one running my own gallows.
I do have guillotine blueprints... perhaps I should get to work.

Maybe I could run my own scam like Clint Eastwood in The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly...
Cash in on a bounty the set the guy free before he gets hanged and split the booty.
Then doublecross him.

I make a mean frozen Margarita...

I know when to keep quiet.

You're hired. We'll work on a compensation package later.

Just kill me and take my guns

fu(k, i was going for the keys on the roof bit, beat me to it.

 

[Cowgirlup]

I know a little about a lot of things. The type of massage therapy I do is closer to PT so that could be helpful when people get hurt. Plus you'll have a bunch of people doing more manual labor they aren't used to.
Except for the "kill people and take stuff" guys. They just need to keep the trigger finger limber.

I'll have to update my NES sh!t list.

**mental note, do not call Palladin if I need an electrician. He might be keeping a list.**

You should still wear protection, especially after SHTF.
