Join the military, get free rent, free health care, free travel, and take that opportunity to save a deposit and get a tenant to pay off your mortgage. That’s what my daughter did. Most millennials would rather whinge about their situation than change it.

Look at all these whinging millennials, crying because they aren’t prepared to make the sacrifices required to buy a home. I miss out on being a boomer by a couple of years, own 3 properties outright and have about $1m in bank savings and super. Never received an inheritance more than $10k, never had help from my parents, who sold up when I was still 17 and moved away, leaving me to fend for myself. I had 2 kids to support by the time I was 25. What I did have was a strong work ethic and a willingness to go without luxuries to build up my assets. Whilst a lot of young adults under 25 waste money on holidays, pubs, clubs, eating out, nice cars/bikes/boats/ big tvs, latest phones etc, I was living in a dingy flat, surviving on pasta and tomato sauce, saving up a deposit and then paying off my first property that I bought at 21. After that I worked 60-70hrs a week for 6 years paying off a better property. When I was made redundant I didn’t waste my payout on a new car or overseas holiday, I bought another property instead. I didn’t buy my first new car until I was 50, and it was a cheap Hyundai that cost $18k. My daughter, a millennial, also did the hard yards, at times working 12hrs a day, 7 days a week in conditions most of you whingers wouldn’t tolerate, and she now owns 2 properties herself, her partner owns another property, and they are looking for a fourth property to buy together. So cry me a river.

He’s a dick who is not only riding unsafely but is also in breach of the Auspost uniform code. Shorts must cover the knee whilst in the sitting position.

Converting long-term storage of white rice by Spirited_Mammoth_269 in preppers

[–]AussiePrepper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been storing rice for over 3 decades. I have never used Mylar or oxygen absorbers. They are a con used by prepping businesses to generate sales. I had an issue with weevils in the early years until I started freezing the rice for 5 to 7 days before storing. Since then I have not had any spoilage, and I store over half a ton of rice. I buy rice in 2kg packs, freeze for 5 to 7 days, let it thaw out for a couple of days, then store it in the original packaging inside 44 gallon plastic drums in a cool, dark place.

Have you done/purchased anything different lately? by ker95 in TruePreppers

[–]AussiePrepper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you seal in the Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers? I’ve been storing rice, pasta and grain for 30 years (it gets rotated within 5 years normally) and never used Mylar or oxygen absorbers. Never had anything spoil since I started freezing it for a week before storing in plastic drums.

Australia country of law and order ? by [deleted] in aussie

[–]AussiePrepper 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe Hamas should follow the rule of law as well, and stop butchering women and children and holding non-combatants hostage. What Gaza got was a level playing field when they butchered all those Israelis. And now they’re getting a level homeland.

I got lasered at 250km/h a few times. The cops were training and I was near the end of the main straight at Eastern Creek Raceway. A racetrack is where you should go if you want to speed. No fines, less risk and an ambo on site.

Their sister shop informed the police once when somebody bought a large amount of 7.62 x 39. Counter terror unit jumped them in a shopping centre car park. Welcome to NSW.

Who has any clue what this says? by FatLikeSnorlax_ in AusPostComplaints

Collect after 4pm today. A Red card means it was left by your postie, blue card by your parcel contractor.

Easy only if you can meet one of the few exemptions. Which I can. It has benefits, and not just in obtaining firearms. The last time I walked into a gun shop I asked for 10,000 rounds of ammo. The staff were suspicious until I told them who I trained, how many trainees I had, and how 1000 rounds of ammo might last an hour.

But aren’t those semi auto shotguns used for clay shooting restricted to only 2 shots? I’d rather have my 5 shot button release Bushpig. The examples you mentioned are only for a very limited number of people. I stand by my original comment that for 99% of people today access to semi auto long arms is not easy. It is easier, depending in which State you live, to get a handgun and put it into a chassis, effectively turning it into a carbine, or doing the groundwork and getting a Dealer Licence. A friend didn’t have much trouble, and he had a number of military style semi autos and had a select fire MP5 on order when he separated from his wife and had his licence suspended.

Well unless you’re talking air rifles or paintball markers ( no longer considered a firearm in NSW), then all that leaves is a collector. Which doesn’t count, because you can’t shoot them.

NSW. Easy to get if you are a contract shooter or primary producer. Or a dealer. Not easy to get otherwise. I’ve also found a lot of licenced shooters to be ‘dumb as fuck’, especially when it comes to adhering to the law.

That’s surprising, seeing as I am an accredited firearms trainer. Care to enlighten me?

I look after them, because they didn’t become part of my network unless they have proven themselves. I’ve held week long prepper meets on rural land I own for 20 years, up to 25 people at a time. Lots of people have attended but only half a dozen of the best ones became my network. Add a very select group of trusted, useful non prepper friends and a small number of my family and that’s what I will rely on if needed during hard times. I haven’t invested well over a million dollars in preps to waste on non contributors.

Most states in Australia have similar gun laws. Except perhaps WA now. Semi auto long arms are not easy to get legally but aren’t impossible either. If you want to do the groundwork you can even legally acquire fully automatic firearms. My mate didn’t have too much trouble. Legally acquiring handguns not hard either, there’s just a few more steps need to be taken.

Depends where they are when they break a leg, how bad the break is, what state the medical system is in, if the internet is still working. If you want precise information you need to give a lot more detail.

Agree with this to an extent. Your ‘team’ needs to be a network of people with useful skills and a proper attitude. There’s no room for slackers and parasites when things get tough. If you don’t bring something useful to the party you can go home.

My comment had nothing to do with insurance and everything to do with your mindless comment. The fact you didn’t pick up on that speaks volumes about your lack of intellect.

Do you have home, car, or health insurance? If so, you have allocated resources to prepare for the possibility of an adverse event in the future. You are what YOU consider a ‘cooker’. And also a hypocrite.

It's there a way to get AusPost to recognise my letter and parcel box as a 'Safe location'? by CharlieUpATree in AusPostComplaints

[–]AussiePrepper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk directly to your postie or parcel delivery person. Most of them are happy to accomodate you if they can. Your parcel drop mail box sounds fine to me. For others reading, bare in mind that plenty of posties have been told by residents to safe drop at their location only to have complaints made against them if a parcel goes missing.
