View Full Version : What's Your Plan "B"

Plan "B" is what you plan to do if it all goes really bad. I don't mean a little bad I mean all the way bad. World wide depression, unemployment at levels never seen in the USA, the goverment taking away close to all our civil rights to try and "protect us" and basic services suspended due to lack of funds.
I Know a place on the White river in Arkansas that I think I would head for. Its far enough away from civilization that I you could could stay away from all the complications that the highly populated areas would suffer. Clean water would be a problem but food could be grown or caught
You better go for plan C . That place on White river is already taken . Locked up and guarded and if you don't know the secrete hand shake ya ain't gett'n in. ;) I got friends.

On a serious note, my view at present is that what we are going through is world-wide, though all we hear most about is America.
We are better equipped financially to handle a prolonged downturn then some European, Middle-Eastern and Asian markets.
We are also a more stable society, and we are somewhat isolated by distance and water. We also own the sea and the air.
I foresee serious trouble erupting elsewhere in the not to distant future. Nothing like a good world war to pull us out of a depression, and possibly refocus our current Marxist style leadership. Just as easy to build tanks as it is cars.

The problem with the ol' "war can get us out of a depression" idea is the opponent:
Russia. Too man ICBMs. Mutual destruction in a few hours.
China. We'd have to borrow money from them first and then give them POs as most of our manufacturers moved there.
Iran. The U.S. and Britain are currently next door anyway. Obama campaigned on leaving Iraq though, so doubtful.
That doesn't leave many traditional enemies left. And before ya'll start looking north, just forget about it. You could invade Canada anytime you want and it would be over well before any economic gains occur. Heck, jmac could find a few buddies get case of Bud, drive the truck to Toronto and stake a claim. It might look something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6p_6wvByFg

Plan B
1) You must live 50 miles from the nearest interstate. Check
2) Prep the land to farm it. (check)
3) Purchase some livestock (not quite check)
4) Stockpile enough ammo to fight off the roaming gangs who want to steal the food and other supplies because they didnt prepare (almost check)
5) Purchase and maintain the 4 needed weapons for hunting and fighting off said gangs.(check a few times over)
6) Purchase 1 years supply of food for 5 people (not quite check)
Im sure there is more. Im working on it all as I can.

I am actually very close. We should be loading in some livestock very soon as we complete the fencing.
We'll be planting a few acres this year and plan on doing more in the future.
Ive got enough ammo and weapons now but I like em so I always buy more. Wal Mart just got in 4 cases of 555 round Remington .22LR's today.
I left yas a few cases.
Every week I have the wife pick up some extra food supplys. The Mormons (I am not one) have an excellent online calculator to tell you what you need to stock. This is where I am the furthest off. I gotta tighten up.
I dont think you can ever be fully prepared.

2) Large mean dogs
3) Guns and ammo, ammo, ammo
4) County Road with long driveway, far from the marauding masses who depend upon the gubmit for their food and necessities
5) Easy access to water and water purifier
6) Solar and wind power with backup battery power for life's little pleasures such as refrigeration for the occasional cold beer

For the amber ale, you will need to come to Lancaster County. This one is only served on tap at the brewery in Lancaster, PA;

Our version of the traditional Irish Amber Ale. This beer combines the richness of German and Austrian malts with the delicate and spicy British hops for a taste worthy of the Red Rose City

Very true which is why the only American beer I drink is Yuengling. I will drink a micro brew too but Im generally a fan of Becks, Heineken, Bass Ale, etc.....
I was interested in picking up some kits to brew your own that I could bring into this Plan B thing.
Im sure there is a place that sells it. Ichecked the place I used to buy from in Orlando and wow the prices are a bit higher than they were. Its cheaper now to just buy it at the store LOL

Check through some of ther other stuff too. They have some good stuff on there. Ive now had to bump it to 6 people and its gonna cost but Im getting ready to close in a portion of the barn which will be tight in order to store the stuff.
I made a spreadsheet with the amount recommended and then the amount on hand. Of course as I update it it does the math for me.

Excellent! Today the wife and I went out to drive around and ended up at WalMart (of course)
We bought a few 45 gallon containers with lids and we will transfer what weve got so far into them. We picked up another 20lbs of rice and then a bunch of dried beans.
You really just need to drop an extra $20-$30 each week and it adds up fast.
As I said, Im stocking for 6 people for a year. There are only 3 of us here so if no other family needs the help we'll have two years worth.
Im buying chickens this week and building the coup (I hope-lol)

Dear Jesus, are we really gone this far? What are the odds you will need a year supply of food? More than 100 rounds of our choice ammo? A garden? Hen-house? This thread is 'over the top',.

Screw your ammo stock-pile, all the ammo you need will be supplied for free. Leave your AR-15 at home, you will get an M-16. Revolution? May happen at the polling both, but no fat-bottomed american will ever instigate violence. Wusses. I repeat, wusses.

If you and I have the courage to tell our elected officials that we want our national policy based upon what we know in our hearts is morally right. We cannot buy our security, our freedom from the threat of the bomb by committing an immorality so great as saying to a billion now in slavery behind the Iron Curtain, "Give up your dreams of freedom because to save our own skin, we are willing to make a deal with your slave masters." Alexander Hamilton said, "A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one." Let's set the record straight. There is no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there is only one guaranteed way you can have peace--and you can have it in the next second--surrender.

You understand what the implication of China being worried about it's investment is?
They own 25% of our debt before these wonderful bailout and are pretty much the leading investor in the new ones. Well they rightfully should be worried since this is going to be like Zimbabwe soon with inflation. Massive inflation changes the whole deal in a monetary policy. A lowered valued dollar means we can pay that debt of at a cheaper price. However they aren't going want to fund but so much. Catch 22 would be downplaying the situation. Couple that with central America being funded by Chavez and has basically turned back all Reagan was able to achieve along with a dire need for higher oil prices. We got issues on our borders. Civil unrest around the world. The "solution" being provided is a world wide new deal. What does that entail? A huge system of if you want to live sign on the dotted line. It's very well known many religions are utterly against usury. And our devilish deal requires they just bow down before us and sign on the dotted line. Couple that with a relentlessness drive to obtain nuclear power in Iran and Israel's understanding opposition to that with all the desire for their extinction coming from that states president. Canada still stand by us. Our other allies IMO have been compromised. No doom or gloom though. Human freedom under god will prevail but retreat isn't the answer. Nuclear proliferation is the means to end times for some of these wackos and they are right. With only a minor launch at many different countries and a retaliation of mutual destruction the end results would be nuclear winter with no caves or retreats safe.

Even when I felt it might be my destiny to do away with President Carter if he were re-elected I did not feel as bad about our government as I do today.

What does a usury system mean?
It means we continue on a path where our debt increase greater than our income. http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/scared/scared0015.gifhttp://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/scared/scared0015.gif
Well what if we could pay off our debt?
We would be dead broke. Zero obligations, zero wealth, all the gold in "storage" just became the owners of America. http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/scared/scared0015.gif
Religions tried to explain to us how bad usury was..... we didn't listen. http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/scared/scared0015.gif

When action is required to preserve our national security, we will act. We will maintain sufficient strength to prevail if need be, knowing that if we do so we have the best chance of never having to use that strength. Above all, we must realize that no arsenal or no weapon in the arsenals of the world is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.

You understand what the implication of China being worried about it's investment is?
They own 25% of our debt before these wonderful bailout and are pretty much the leading investor in the new ones. Well they rightfully should be worried since this is going to be like Zimbabwe soon with inflation. Massive inflation changes the whole deal in a monetary policy. A lowered valued dollar means we can pay that debt of at a cheaper price. However they aren't going want to fund but so much. Catch 22 would be downplaying the situation. Couple that with central America being funded by Chavez and has basically turned back all Reagan was able to achieve along with a dire need for higher oil prices. We got issues on our borders. Civil unrest around the world. The "solution" being provided is a world wide new deal. What does that entail? A huge system of if you want to live sign on the dotted line. It's very well known many religions are utterly against usury. And our devilish deal requires they just bow down before us and sign on the dotted line. Couple that with a relentlessness drive to obtain nuclear power in Iran and Israel's understanding opposition to that with all the desire for their extinction coming from that states president. Canada still stand by us. Our other allies IMO have been compromised. No doom or gloom though. Human freedom under god will prevail but retreat isn't the answer. Nuclear proliferation is the means to end times for some of these wackos and they are right. With only a minor launch at many different countries and a retaliation of mutual destruction the end results would be nuclear winter with no caves or retreats safe.

Nice post indeed, I am not disputing the facts therein as current problems you are pointing out, just the dire results you seem to be willing to assume. Zimbabway? That is exactly what I mean,.. way over the top.
I know the chicoms are worried, and they should be too. We owe them money and now we have a weenie at the helm trying to wreck the economy and max-out any credit we have 'as a nation'. Compounded problem for them, since we are a big customer for their junk at wally-world too. Look, obama may crash the dollar, he seems to be trying to do that,... but it is not the end of the world if he does. As you alluded to, makes the debt easier to pay 'in value' if the dollar is sunk. Obama can just turn on the printers 24/7. :D The dollar has crashed before and we did not turn into migrant hunter-gatherers killing each other off over food. Severe adjustments in store? Perhaps, but more likely just a problematic economy not much different than life during the carter administration. Bad, but not causing the need for a 1 year food supply and a million rounds of ammo.
Latin america can lie in the bed they make, tough for them. We buy oil from them and other stuff, but they need a customer as bad as we need a supplier. We sink, they suffer probably worse. They are feeding on us, we are the host, and their parasitic economies depend upon us. Whether hugo chavez pulls the strings or not, someone keeps pumping the juice out of the ground. chavez-land is not even able to properly feed themselves, our oil need is propping them up.
Our border problem: About 1 in 20 persons in the USA is here illegally and it is harmful, but our economy has went through good times and bad times despite these numbers. A problem indeed and makes everything worse here but not apocolyptic.
Iran: Probably will get into a war with isreal, shut-down the straight of hormitz after which numerous other nations will want to get involved and cause a big global economic crisis, but only temporary. On topic, stocking up on a personal fuel supply is probably some really good advice. Iran is begging for destruction, they are on-course to get it.
Let me be clear, I do not like obama, pelosi, reid, and company. I do not approve of their socialism, bail-outs, and wild-a55 spending habits. And I am not optomistic about our nations future right now. But I do not see the need for hoarding food and ammunition and some cash and whatever else. As Richard said, you need to think about natural disasters and stuff too aside from sheer economic collapse and in that spirit we all need a "PLAN B" so we can endure the calamity when it comes. It will in one form or another. But I am not interested in hoarding much more than I can carry out, because if it gets really bad for really long I am going to find another location. Animals and gardening is smart thinking economically, but it was too at any time in history you want to visit. These are largely lifestyle choices too, but should not be considered a 'plan' of any sort associated with our current world problems.
The doom and gloom is probably unfounded. There are lots of problems in the world, but these things usually have a way of working out without the disaster scenarios coming into play.
As for the 'revolution', I know you did not mention that BigJon, but I see no coming revolution that will involve shooting to any great extent. USA generally has revolts taking place at the polling booth. We do need one of those. :D

That, for the cabal, would have been bad enough; but as 1932 became 1933, Morgan's spies learned that Roosevelt might be considering more radical measures, ones that could take control of America's most precious commodity--its sovereign credit-- away from Wall Street and the London-based financial oligarchy who controlled the Morgan interests. American credit, and therefore government economic policy, had been held under the thumb of the private financial markets and their banking houses, like Morgan. Should a President Roosevelt seize control of the nation's credit, and deploy it for a recovery program based not upon continued bankers' looting, but on economic development, and should he rally the American people to that program, the power of the London-based financial oligarchs might be broken.The Morgan-British Fascist Coup Against FDR (http://american_almanac.tripod.com/smedley.htm)

I don't agree that FDR New Deal did good for the economy. I'm also aware it was used for quite a bit of political gain and hardly any bringing up of the poor people or needy that the rhetoric implied it was for.

Not over anyones heads that is interested. I myself haven't a clue as to the whole scheme. Just what I can find. It's in fact quite a bit more intricate than originally thought and I understand even the most complicated of what Reagan's plans were. It's hard to explain but basically all people have done for the past 3 terms of the White House is left for personal interest for the private sector looking at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as giant blood filled host, and they were the leechs.
It's disgusting, Raines head of OMB, Rubin head of the Treasury, Geithner a prodigy of Rubin, Frank relationship with founding members of FM and FM. Dodds secret elite loan agreements, Obama, Dodd and Kerry being paid well for their support....on...on...and on....
If people knew on a wide scale they would only be forced to revolt. It's so well hidden and the ties so broad it's all but uttered in the news. Did I mention GE owns MSNBC? NBC universal?

Let me be clear, I do not like obama, pelosi, reid, and company. I do not approve of their socialism, bail-outs, and wild-a55 spending habits. And I am not optomistic about our nations future right now. But I do not see the need for hoarding food and ammunition and some cash and whatever else. As Richard said, you need to think about natural disasters and stuff too aside from sheer economic collapse and in that spirit we all need a "PLAN B" so we can endure the calamity when it comes. It will in one form or another. But I am not interested in hoarding much more than I can carry out, because if it gets really bad for really long I am going to find another location. Animals and gardening is smart thinking economically, but it was too at any time in history you want to visit. These are largely lifestyle choices too, but should not be considered a 'plan' of any sort associated with our current world problems.
I agree,this is a lifestyle change........a hobby,if you will.
I always had livestock,and guns,and with the economy draggin ass........ raising crops makes alot of sense

Let us not take the counsel of our fears. Let us instead offer the world a politics of hope, a forward strategy for freedom. The words of William Faulkner, at a Nobel Prize ceremony more than three decades ago, are an eloquent answer to those who predict nuclear doomsday or the eventual triumph of the superstate: “Man will not merely endure,” Faulkner said, “he will prevail. . .” because he will return to the old verities and truths of the heart. He is immortal because, alone among creatures, “he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance.”
Those old verities, those truths of the heart — human freedom under God — are on the march everywhere in the world.
All across the world today — in the shipyards of Gdansk, the hills of Nicaragua, the rice paddies of Kampuchea, the mountains of Afghanistan — the cry again is liberty. And the cause is the same as that spoken of in this Chamber more than two decades ago by a young American President: “A future of peace and freedom.”

and keep in mind that this lack of budget and program authority never kept great DCIs like Allen Dulles, John McCone and William Casey from doing the job brilliantly
For example, when the intelligence 'professionals' in Washington and London told Donovan that infiltrating spies into the Third Reich was impossible, Donovan gave the job to a young New York tax attorney named William J. Casey. By the time Hitler was dead in his Berlin bunker, Casey had organized and run 103 missions behind Nazi lines.
President Reagan understood that our intelligence service was in trouble, so he named as DCI his campaign manager, Bill Casey — who as Wild Bill Donovan's OSS prot�g� had organized those 103 'impossible' missions behind Nazi lines. Just like his mentor, Bill Casey didn't tell the President he needed ten years to get our intelligence service back into action — which would have gotten the CIA up and running halfway through George H.W. Bush's presidency. Instead, Casey did something that to this day almost no one in Washington understands. He created an OSS within the CIA. In other words, very quietly he reached out to Wall Street, the business community, to Silicon Valley, to the academic world, and to our country's leading technical and scientific establishments and recruited a team of analysts and 'doers' who could figure things out fast and make things happen. And, with his talent for spotting talent, Casey plucked from the CIA's bureaucracy those analysts and operations officers who were just waiting for the chance to show what they were capable of doing.:o If only today....

Major General (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_general_%28United_States%29) William Joseph Donovan, USA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army), KBE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_British_Empire), (January 1, 1883 – February 8, 1959) was an American soldier, lawyer and intelligence officer, best remembered as wartime head of the Office of Strategic Services (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Strategic_Services) (OSS). He is also widely known as the "father" of today's Central Intelligence Agency (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Intelligence_Agency) (CIA).

"In recent years the world has grown used to hearing speeches from Washington full of malice toward everything progressive. However, CIA Director W. Casey, speaking at a ‘World Council of Industrialists' the other day in San Antonio, Texas, evidently decided to outdo other Washington figures. The United States is threatened by unspeakable danger, Casey stated, voice atremble. ‘The Marxist-Leninists have unleashed the four horses [sic] of the apocalypse -- famine, plague, war, and death.' Are you not scared, reader? Even the director of the main U.S. espionage department is beside himself with fear."
One can forgive the officially, militantly atheistic Soviets for describing the four "horsemen" as the four "horses." After all, the only Bibles they saw were the ones they kept shut as they confiscated and destroyed them, sacrificing them right alongside the priests, nuns, and millions of believers in the gulag. But they did know famine, plague, war, and death -- and the apocalypse. And it was four men: Reagan, Casey, Clark, and Cap, who deliver the communist apocalypse at the Kremlin door.

If I may, I want to give you one thought from my heart. Coming here and being with you and looking into your faces, I have to believe that the history of this troubled century will indeed be redeemed in the eyes of God and man, and that freedom will truly come to all, for what injustice can withstand your strength, and what can conquer your prayers?Moscow Summit: Preaching to the Unconverted; Excerpts From Reagan Talks to Dissidents and at Monastery democracy.

Agreed, in that poopy will hit the fan elsewhere loooong before it hits here. Heck, it may help us, it might lead to war for which we can ramp-up manufacturing and jobs for supply.

Plan B
1) You must live 50 miles from the nearest interstate. Check
2) Prep the land to farm it. (check)
3) Purchase some livestock (not quite check)
4) Stockpile enough ammo to fight off the roaming gangs who want to steal the food and other supplies because they didnt prepare (almost check)
5) Purchase and maintain the 4 needed weapons for hunting and fighting off said gangs.(check a few times over)
6) Purchase 1 years supply of food for 5 people (not quite check)
Im sure there is more. Im working on it all as I can.
Check this BS out.
