I skimmed this thread from start to finish.
My thoughts.
Eat the ice cream first.
Have enough stuff on hand to last two weeks.
After that the army is going to show up and take you to a refugee centre.

Hi Steve,
In the avocado fields, it’s real popular to replace the old jeep engines with pinto engines when they wear out. I was told that if the timing belt ever broke, the valves and pistons wouldn’t hit and nothing would break. “just replace the rubber-band and reset the timing” was the wording I remember. Do you know of any truth to that?

Wallace, the U.S. Northern Command has 80,000 troops for domestic control. There are about 330 million people in the U.S. The military is not going to be out looking for problems. They will NOT be out rounding up people. The FEMA camps will be invitation only. People will be banging on the gates to get 3 squares and a bed. Ron Paul said specifically that GOV would not have money. I’ve been writing about the upcoming crash for 8 years. GOV will look out for GOV and you will look out for you.
Should there be a CME or a EMP or an interruption in petroleum distribution, GOV will concentrate on the cities. The rural areas will be largely ignored, until they come to confiscate the crops. The less stuff that you need from the industrialized society, the better off you will be. When in doubt, emulate the noble cockroach, run away.

Yes, it’s a Ben Peterson with some of my own mods in the cooler section. It’s a lot of work, but it is fun.
So the city cockroaches have a better chance at getting GOV assistance than the country ones. That’s ok, I don’t like the taste of Spam anyway…
Spam, Spam, Spam… : )

Yes JasonMc this is absolutely correct. Got that directly from a avocado farms mechanic moved up from SowCal here to Washington State.
We had three different Pinto engines in the family over the course of time.
A 73 German/Ford made 2000. Two different 1980 made 2300’s.
All of them just like the same era Dodge/Chrysler SOHC 2200 four cylinders were timing belt broke - tow it in. Replace belt, resetting timing and drive it away. Chrysler/Dodges/Plymouths easier to do.
To do this the combustion chambers had to be deep, deep inset.
Increasing eco-green natzi emissions carrot on a stick regulations makes this kind of manufacturing impossible now.
Fellows I am going only say this one last time before I have AdminChris lock up this topic.
This ain’t about you preppers.
You’ll lone-wolf make out. And can live the lone wolf.
I or another hunter/killer will be tasked to hunt you down.
This ain’t about idealist “'using every single last BTU” DIY better idea engineering. Go ahead and years spin your wheels on that all you want ON SOME OTHER TOPIC THREAD.
This isn’t even about taking power to some other peoples (far away) to show your dedication to your religions.
This certainly ain’t about rabble rousing for from the Left, or Right, Top-Down a-changing needed.
BOTH these approaches have well proven failure now in the US/Canada for 75 years!

So . . . just what are you all doing about your famililes today??
If the Grid went down tomorrow . . .
Would you just bug-out and leave them hanging?
Bunker-up, and listen to the pounding on the door saying those pounding are someone else problem?
At best now the used patterns shows that will be a Gov’mint Contractor ran 20,000 person F.E.M.A camp.
For as long as the Gov’Mint pays the Contractors. Can still keep shipping in diminishing pre-packaged supplies.
“Action This Day”, insisted Army Chief of Staff General George Marshal. You know the fellow once the shooting-needs were done; had the compassion to push for, set up, and run the Marshall Relief Plan that saved millions in Europe. He was embarrassed when it was press named after him.
Action This Day is take your fingers off of the keyboards. Go out NOW and buy manual can openers and wind up combo-light-radios for each and every one on your immediate family care-for list.
I DID.
Now I am just stepping up that game a notch with the inverter generators.
No list of immediate care-for’s?
How very sad.
Knock off the shitting. Go out Getting a real life with real people in it.
People you can care for.
Who will care for you when you get sick. When you just get f’'nng old and tired, grouchy and grumpy.
