It always amuses me to read of how "a country boy can survive". Nobody can explain to me how. I've been a country boy for 50 of my 50 years. Granted I'd probably be in a little better shape than many to survive a 'blip' but in a full scale meltdown things would likely be different. Most country boys in our area are armed about the same and have fairly equal capabilities, and some are more ambitious than others. So who becomes the competition? So you get along well with your neighbor, that is until he's in full survival mode and puts a bullet in your back while you are tending your survival food plot. Or you are traipsing around in the now depleted woods looking for the same wild game that a hundred or more others are looking for, hunting accidents are not un-common. You have guns and gold? You need to sleep sometime. Everybody has this "Walker Texas Ranger" Hollywood attitude, looks good on TV don't it? Truth is somebody wants what you have or wants you dead or both well the odds are stacked against you and you will lose. In survival there are no rules and no "clean" fight, NO one is to be trusted and hoarded supplies only last so long. There will be no communication or cooperation as we know it. How much gas will you need to run your generator, that certainly won't be available anywhere, and your bunker would likely be raided while you were looking for it anyway. GrandPa often said to live as well as you can while you can and die when you must. Give that some thought.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga ...
