    I say 'lead and some will leave.'

    I got rid of all my 'stuff', gave it to the guy on the corner with the sign........

    Now he is selling it to people at the same corner, I created a job, what a good libertard I am.

    It may be a bit of an OPSEC breech although posting in a thread like you mention doesn't broadcast your name (which is quickly pinpointed to an address) like the interview in the article did.

    The idea behind these 'what have you done today' threads is motivation and sharing ideas that some may have not thought of. Really, being a member of a site like this does the same thing as those threads.

    I just mentioned it becouse there are those that post on that type of thread like it was some type of daily twi++er update.This gives a crook an easy access inventory list.
    Finding where that persons residence is only takes researching that persons posts for clues.
    As for keeping an OPSEC identity on the web,there are very few people that can keep their identity that way.Even then it requires bouncing through multiple proxy servers around the world.
    You could go through every post I've ever made on the web,and find very little about what I have,where/how I store things,or a good enough description to find my house.
    I'd just like to see the like minded be more carefull,is all.
    Just cuz yer paranoid,doesnt mean someone aint out to get you.

    As far as I recall, I have only contributed one post

    As far as I recall, I have only contributed one post to the "What did you put away today" thread on this site....and that was to a bunch of reference books. My only fear about this blatant breach of OPSEC is that a horde of mutant zombie bibliophiles will track me down and ransack my library. : O

    oh...that and the Gutenburg Bibles that I am wearing as body armour. ; )

    I take it that he looted those comestibles

    I take it that he looted those comestibles after they had passed through your alimentary canal and urinary tract??? : O

    all my preps were lost in a tragic boating accident. I was on my way to a remote island not to far from WeeGrannyMushes and well, damn those ore freighters make big waves.

    The boat not being loaded out right, nosed in, took water and that's the last i saw of it.

    For now i'll just have to rely on the bread line if something bad happens.

    Yep, you would think a bunch of preppers would learn more about boating.

    My Name is Seacowboys and I am a prepper.
    I started many years ago by stuffing everything that I actually needed into a knapsack and walking away from a life that wasn't working and may have caused me to put a bullet into my head. I walked city streets and dined on pigeons, rag baloney, cans of dollar-store chili, ducks and fish caught in park ponds. I sold plasma and worked at "Rent'a'Wino" jobs to put a cheap hotel room around me when the weather was really crappy. I hitched cross country, living on grassy knells between interstate highways (owned by public and nobody ever looks there). I learned that a drum-liner is more useful than a television. I learned that small knives will not get you arrested but big ones sometimes will. I learned that if you can keep your guitar out of the pawnshop, people will drop money into your case when you play.
    Many years have passed since then and I worked overseas for most of them, always learning to have just what I needed and not much more.
    I have a minimalist approach to preparations with the mind-set to provide for long-term security. My nest is surrounded by fish, game, fruit-bearing trees, nuts, garden produce, and small live-stock. I am well schooled in the skills necessary to collect and preserve food and do so with a dedicated fervor.

    Sorry to hear that. VisuTrac!!!!!!! You found out that the Great Lakes are no place for Amateurs didja? Well, it seems like accidents are going around these days (sort of like flu)....last night, would you believe, a huge bear broke into my stuff and totally destroyed everything, I went after it with my knitting needle weapon but it got away on me. Sheesh. So I've decided to give up Prepping and I'm moving up beside BTPost - that fjord he talks about seems to have plenty of room - what's one more little old lady, eh! Just one small problem, of course, I'm a Canajun so I'll be an illegal immigrant - well, that should make life interesting for your immigration people (unless they have more important things to do than chasing old ladies around the wilds of Alaska, haha)

    There is already a police wanted posted out on weegranny

    Seen in a Police bulletin, somewhere in Alaska.


    Feral Canadian Grandma on the loose:
    speaks with a scottish brogue, wears scottish brogues, armed with deadly knitting needles and a haggis cosh...disclaims being a prepper, has a highly dangerous sense of the absurd. Known associates, BT and most of the Survival Monkeys website membership.

    Approach with extreme caution!!!

    I wonder what all these stories would be like if we all wrote a book.
    Each of us write a chapter about our lives, send to a "face person" and have it published.
    Proceeds to SM or other worthy charity like the LDS cannery

    The best part would be pricing it at "1- one ounce silver coin
