Leavitt brushes off Lutnick–Epstein heat with list of administration wins media ignored before ending briefing

I built my own rain water catchment system using a quick swap out on my existing gutters that will fill a 55 gallon drum

...

You read about people "bugging out" during a shit hit the fan situation.

I'm bugging in... and my house is a well stocked fortress. If after 2 years shit is still toast then I'm fucked... but at that point shit aint never coming back and do I want to be around anyway?

My Great Grandad had a water system like that. He wouldn't let us use normal pipe water to simply wash our hands, we would use the jugs of rain water.

I use to overthink about bugging out. Lots of locations to bug off to and such. But then other factors came to me, like limits on how much you could bug out with, and possibly carry. It becomes a reduced survival chance, depending. Then, years ago, I had overheard a militia group talking, and they seemed like the "not good" kind. Talking about how they would lock down this one main roadway, and raid the folks coming through. So in an ideal bugout, if forced to, Im sticking to the woods and mountains. Other than that, Im holding up here.

You don't know what you're missing.  Squirrel is quite tasty.  Especially fat ones like the ones in my yard that have been feasting on walnuts for years.

And they're easy to cook too.  You just skin and gut them, drive a stick through its ass and out the gullet (assuming you've decapitated it while skinning it) and roast it over a nice and cheery hardwood fire.  You'll know when it's done because your mouth will start watering from the smell.  A pinch of salt and you're good to go.

I've always wanted to try squirrel. My uncle use to have a freezer full. My first time of trying it, I've always wanted to do it like that... over a fire with a stick up its ass lol.

I never understood the majority of the prepper communities' "bug out" philosophy. In a densely populated city where you are not allowed to own weapons and resources are controlled by the democrat scum yeah, makes sense to get the fuck on outta there as fast as you can

 but you have to be an idiot to be living in one of those places to begin with.

Myself on the other hand, i'm about 50 miles north of a densely populated city. I'm situated on nearly 2 cares of property adjacent to a large pond that has lots of fish and is itself an excellent source of water if you know how to purify. I'm at the end of a back road which is pretty easy to defend, I have another 18,000 gallon water source sitting a few feet from my living room which I can tap in a pinch, hundreds of trees on unowned land and the ability to chop them down without power tools, hundreds of pounds of food sealed in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers, vacuum sealed meats and I can grow vegetables if I really need to.  all kinds of preps and power backups etc etc. So why would I "bug out" and leave all of that behind just to go wandering around hoping to find supplies?

I'm reliant mostly on solar with a 10 kw system and a carefully planned power consumption model. I have lots of supplies and the means to get more. I have every propane refill station within 10 miles written down in a logbook with directions on how to get there with no GPS. I know where every water refill station is within 10 miles too. I have 3 bicycles to get  around short distances if gasoline is short and I'm buying an electric powered golf cart in a few weeks for leisure (but will be a supply hauler if gasoline is exhausted).

I Have 7 bedrooms and 7 window AC units that are sill in boxes due to their lower power consumption. I'll need all that since I have 5 kids total plus their partners. A total of 15 rifles (if you add up all the weapons my kids own) including AR-15s, 10mm carbines, a 308 and a few shotguns... and at least 25 handguns of varying calibers

When shit hits the fan someone comes around my house looking for trouble they're going to find it as every person in the house will be armed with at least one rifle and one handgun.

If all of that is not good enough then I'll just accept my fate and it's off to the next life for me because if I ain't safe and surviving here I ain't safe and surviving nowhere.

Same on Auto stuff, Im usually ready to tackle something when it springs up. My fuel pump went out last week, all I needed was the pump, and I could've fixed it myself normally, but this ACL surgery got me super limited lol.

I been wanting a bike, I've thought about one of them ones that fold up that you can toss in a trunk or something. My friend and bro got one that has electric, to help uphill. My bike was one of my favorite things as a kid, felt so free.

I think I got around 600 or more DVDs lol. I been ordering a lot lately cause of my surgery, might be 700 now lol. Im usually ordering older stuff, and stuff that no one remembers lol. I love DVDs because I OWN it, they cant tell me I cant watch it, they cant censor bits out, no libtard loaded commercials, no layered subliminal messaging aside from whatever subliminal was on the original film.

THEY also usually reveal certain truths in films, its a part of their code. So a lot of times Im decoding when Im watching certain flicks lol.

I got non-electric entertainment too lol, stuff I can throw in a pack as well (cards, harmonica, paperback). I've got a military survival guide to throw in, but its all stuff I mostly knew anyway.

Bland rice and beans hahaha. I ALWAYS got plenty of spices. Gonna be Cajun'in' it up! lol

I've been downloading mp4's to rugged 512 gb usb flash drives. Files range in size between 300 mb to 4 gb... most are around 1 to 2 gb's. Older stuff doesn't improve in quality with a bigger file size anyway. My 12v/220v projector won't play exFAT files so I am limited to 4 gb unless I jackass in a Think Stick to the HDMI port which requires a mains adaptor.

I do need to back up each USB drive though.

All packs into the projector bag and
Runs off any battery. Less cluttered...

Incidentally, seeds are perhaps the most valued thing I keep. Untreated, non GMO, and a wide array of things you often eat and not often. I try to replace my stock once every 12-24 months and give away the old ones to gardener mates. Get them from a gay couple who have a seed farm a few hours north. They always throw in complimentary packs of unknown herbs and Asian vegetable type things in the order.

That's pretty cool dude! I never thought to save movies for aftermath, but now that you mention it, they DO have mini portable projectors these days.

I think one of the reasons I keep forgetting is because Im more like Merry and Pippin instead of Samwise lol. That and knowing that way too many seeds out there are GMO tainted.

TikTok is blowing up with folks ready to "slay the vampires" lol.
