Doomsday opinion

[Bailey Guns]

We're not really preppers. But it's just worked out that we could actually live quite comfortably without power for an extended amount of time. We heat with wood and have an unlimited supply, and we can cook on the woodstove. We have a great well and have a means of easily getting water out of it...it's 385' deep. We even have an ample supply of propane at any given time and easy access to more, and the means of getting it from a big tank into little tanks to power various items. Wife is a trained medical professional. There will be plenty of wildlife for at least a while.

The problem is we're just as vulnerable as anyone else to those who'd want to harm us if good times turn bad. I have no illusions of surviving much longer than anyone else, to be honest.

Get as far away from everyone else as possible, as fast as possible.

Yeah no kidding, I am in Aurora as well. I think my biggest problem is having an apartment. But we are working on that slowly

US economic collapse.

It's a matter of when. Uh oh

[Aloha_Shooter]

A few things come to mind: natural disaster (extreme hurricane, meteor strike, etc.), economic collapse, societal collapse. Different preparations for each one but I was trained to "be prepared".

If Yellowstone goes..... It won't matter

If Yellowstone goes..... It won't matter

And for us Auroraites, If Buckley goes it won't matter either.

Focus on preparing for a personal crisis that is more likely to occur, like losing a job, your house burning down, a blizzard socking you in for a few days, a flood, a forest fire, the sudden death of a family member, etc. Prepare for those things first. A supervolcano, an asteroid impacting the earth or an EMP destroying life as we know it are highly unlikely. Doomsday Preppers make real preppers look foolish. I can't watch it.

I suggest listening to thesurvivalpodcast for more of this line of thinking.

How will you do this? I have been wanting a solution for getting water out of my well as well. It's 400 or so feet deep, but water level is at 80 feet, approx.
