Omg...................................
......Well, since the tragic canoe accident I could use some new fire arms.....Hummmmm.
Why not just get a cardboard sign and stand by an off ramp?
Like ...."Would work for ammo...if I wasn't retired?"
Gofundme has had some incredible success stories. But that's why it's in the classified marketplace to ensure only seasoned members are able to post them.

Not a single one of those success stories involves someone wanting to be Batman.
DD and SIL have had a site up for a while....with not much success...SIL was at Mayo Clinic for 3weeks and Dr. bill were staggering.
His sister started it on facebook ..not much for results........so it didn't work too well for them.
That's kinda why I thought this batman suit and hobby was kinda presumptuous......IMHO.

Now what might be interesting if we had the right skill sets available would be to get funding to produce a survival TV show that's actually geared toward people like us; imagine Alone focused on the actual survival instead of the woe-is-me bellyaching, or Dual Survival with people who actually get along. The progression of Man Woman Wild was great, with Ruth learning and becoming a skilled survivor, but then it sort of leveled out as she got to that point. Maybe doing something like that with a new pairing each season would keep it dynamic.
That would work great until we ran out of bacon or coffee. And how would it look if the F.A.R.T. team was lost? And bellyaching? Come on, we're old. It's what we do.
I always did think Dual Survival and a few of the other "new scenario every week" shows would be better if they'd run a special after every 3-4 episodes showing just how comfy the experts would be if they had the basic survival kit they would have been carrying when their simulated emergency happened.
I can recall a Duel Survival where the tore up a vintage VW for "survival supplies"....then took off across a hot moonscape desert.
"Go back the way you came, Dumas!"
I watched that as well. Uh, road. You just came down a road. Kinda like a path through the desert.
Yeah, that one and a lot of the others, they really needed to just scout for supplies but keep their base camp within sight of where the incident happened. You know, for the realistic situation where somebody comes looking for you when you don't show up at work, don't answer your phone, folks know you were planning to head through a desolate area when they last heard from you, etc.
The VW in the desert left me wondering where the hypothetical drive would have been planned to, since they certainly appeared to be at the end of anything passable by any car.
