She rides great.....that RoadMaster chassis kicks butt. Gobs of power from the ISX Cummins with plenty to spare, even towing around 12K. Best fuel economy at 63 mph getting 12.1 overall. Looking forward to our trip to Alaska next summer.
I was truly impressed with BraggSurvivor's attitude. I find it virtuous.
Really, everyone should make a conscious effort to expose themselves to as many food types and other uncomfortible situations as possible. This will prepare you mentally for any situation that might come up.
I agree with Bragg about his predictions... afterall, not only is it prophecied in the Bible, but it's an politicoeconomic certainty that there is a major collapse just around the bend. Whether deliberately designed by conspirators or inadvertantly followed by well-meaning people, (and the Bible will tell you where I stand on that question) there can be no doubt to anyone who studied arithmetic that we are headed to a major catastrophe economically and (if you study history) socially.
Therefore, it is folly to waste any time on petty conveniences and luxuries. Better to store up and/or build up, while you have a chance, for practical living in 'radical' survival situations.
If you are a product of your raising, culture, or cultivation... seek true freedom! Liberate yourself from those meaningless chains.
I'll be taking a trip to the Philippines in October and I've specifically requested that some dog meat be prepared for me. I realize that it's taboo here in the states, but I wanted to expose myself to something anti-cultural. Last time I went to Phils, (April) I had balot, which is a fertalized and partially grown chicken egg. In other words... peel the shell and eat the chicken fetus! You know... it wasn't bad. I don't know why they go through the trouble of growing the fetus... but it wasn't that bad!
Then of course I came back to the good ole' US of A and my Bible Study group had a hard time imagining summer without AC! ... HA! Of course they don't realize they are the reason for the upcomming collapse. Unsustainable living... plain and simple.
Welcome Nichov, and In the immortal words of Rick, while you're still in the fetus mode, why don't you hatch your way over to the introduction area and tell us a little about yourself.
"A person is not finished when they are defeated.
A person is finished when they quit."
Nichov - When you go back to PI, you don't need to specifically have dog meat prepared for you - just order it. If you really want to expose yourself to some anti-cultural eating while there, go for the monkey brains (I won't go into details here - you can google it).
Welcome back, Bragg.
Once you know Bragg, Nichov, you'll understand that deprivation and discomfort are NOT part of his vocabulary. All his bravado about gloom and doom is just chicken feed for the masses. I'm certain the yard boys are cleaning up the Bragg Mobile Doom and Gloom Machine as we speak. All the while the servants are bringing him champagne and caviar. I'll bet he even dictated that first post!
GW, ask and you shall receive. Here is the nutritional value of mice and rats. They can't be any worse than o'possum!

try the monkey meat on a stick in the philipenes, you really don't know what it is. i've eaten monkey, dog, cat, rat, crocodile, parrot, baloot (it is nasty), and many other things over is asia. a rat is a squirel with a mangy tail, they taste the same to me.
Most people think that every wild rat carries some type of disease. But it's not true. Yes, rats CAN carry disease, especially nasty ones like Bubonic Plague (that's not the one where the girls go topless). But cooking any animal well will kill all bacteria. Just make sure your hands are clean so you don't re-contaminate the meat when eating it.
the gross-out effect comes from thinking of nasty city sewer rats. perhaps wood rats aren't so unclean and diseased, i dunno, i'll wait to find out till i am on the verge of death to try it.
...gonna take a walk outside today...
Muskrat is yummy, slow cooked over a low fire, wheee-doggies as my uncle Jed used to say. Other rats? I've never tried them. Would I if I was hungry enough? Just turn me loose.
some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"
crash, some dessert, nice and chilled...
"A person is not finished when they are defeated.
A person is finished when they quit."
Thanks GW - brings back fond memories. (actually I've never tried it, but have seen it) It's that whole live monkey clamped in the table and bashed in the head to expose the brains......then everybody dig in. Take a look at You Tube if anybody's interested.....kind of disgusting, so no link here.
I was only in China for a few days but as is my habit, I did my best to stay away from the tourist spots and eat where the locals eat. The menus didn't have English translations so I'm not really sure what I ordered but...it wasn't anything I've eaten before.
Life is too short to hurry through.
