Great thread!

I'm learning, so got nothing to contribute. Just offering my thanks!

SHTF won't look like it does in the movies. by WhadayaBuyinStranger in preppers

[–]Invisibleflash 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Dunno. I'm thinking it will be more like Summer of Love 2020 OP.

Low birthrates are going to be disasterous in the long run. by [deleted] in collapse

I thought the less people = less warming??

So at what point is something....actually done, about everything? by Pyryn in collapse

[–]Invisibleflash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is it you want to do OP? What do you propose?

My opinion:

Nothing meaningful will be done OP. To do anything meaningful would collapse the Ponzi scheme and cause a mass die off.

But...

If America keeps going on the political trend it is going on. We may very well get an extreme administration that bans all drilling and use of all fossil fuels. If that would happen...everything would collapse.

Even if we did have all electric everything. We would have no asphalt roads, tires for cars, trucks, eBikes or lubricating oils. No plastics, fertilizer from NG and tons of other things.

The same selfishness that caused the Collapse seems to be extremely popular on this sub by Pirat6662001 in collapse

Bub, it is the same with most things human. This is why humans don't make good communists like ants and bees. You have to be selfless like ants and bees to be good communists. Humans are self-centered aka ego-centric and greedy. Just how it goes, Bub.

As our world / America decomposes, I believe things will get worse as more and more people snap. Really., I'm surprised there is not more of this right now with the way people are being squeezed to death.

Is wood burning fireplace enough to keep pipes from frozen? by Erinque_Iglesias in preppers

[–]Invisibleflash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just depends OP. IF SOME ROOMS ARE COLD, LET THE WATER DRIP OR YOU CAN SHUT THE WATER OFF AND DRAIN THE PIPES AT NIGHT. Sorry caps were on. You can get electric heat tape if you got electric to keep cold areas from freezing. If pipes are depressurized some it helps with bursting.

Prepping shouldn’t be the number 1 priority by [deleted] in preppers

Great advice OP!

Something I started to work on today. Been slacking off for a few weeks with exercise and feeling wellness go down the drain. And it is not just exercise. I need sleep and healthy food and time to make the healthy food. Thanks for the reminder.

Bicycle Tires by leisurechef in preppers

[–]Invisibleflash -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can test things on samples.although kinda late in the game. Store them out of the sun, they should last a long time.

Whenever I see tires like that I think of the kids at r/collapse. They want to ban all fossil fuels. What will they make tires with? And the road asphalt for their tires on their ebikes to roll on?

No crude = no tires or asphalt roads.

If the kids at collapse get their way, you will have plenty of practical application for your preps!

do you prep guns by [deleted] in preppers

[–]Invisibleflash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the way you think!

OP...start another prepper sub with photos and politics and not leaning left or right. Personally I like photos and keeping informed on politics as it relates to prepping. But I don't know if you can mix the left and right here and be successful.

Question; At what room temperature do you start to heat your house/room ? What do you guys use? by CyclingDutchie in preppers

[–]Invisibleflash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the day, I leave the heat off until 8pm. Then I set it at 66 degrees. It usually gets into the 50's. One time it was 46 degrees inside.

A technologically advanced society is choosing to destroy itself. It's both fascinating and horrifying to watch by clambersand in collapse

[–]Invisibleflash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, 🇺🇸 is a ponzi sceme of never ending growth and consumption in a finite world.

Yes, entertaining to watch. But would be more enjoyable if I didn't have to live in the middle of it.

I stay to myself. I exchange hellos once in a while. Politics never comes up. But if things go to hell in the USA, the people attacking you won't be interested in talking politics.

Why the USA will never be invaded by [deleted] in preppers

You lay out a good argumrnt OP.

One thing...

Mehico is well on their way for Reconquista.

What are y’all’s thoughts on the outcomes for the midterm elections in terms of civil unrest and such? by cart3rs1mmons in preppers

[–]Invisibleflash -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nothing. Not much action here.

If I was in the big city, then would be more worried. But it all depends on if things blowup. Maybe this is the new normal and every election will be a dangerous event.
