I'm on it, anyone heard from OwlGirl? Ya know I'm her slave:D SUVs packed with looted food stores, traps and snares, and other items for the long wait. Keep me informed, as long as the satelites don't go down I'll be on the net.

Will do,had heard also from Sarge and a few others but that has stopped as well,thought maybe the net had went down as well,hearing from you is a blessing,except now,I AM worried about Trax and the others.
Hello? Hello? is this thing on? The net has been down for a couple of days. Hopefully it's up and running. Things aren't going so bad here. The cold is better. A pack of dogs was nosing around yesterday. Glad I was inside. They looked pretty hungry. I made another run to town two days ago and I've got a shortwave radio hooked up. I just wish the antenna was higher. I picked up a faint broadcast about some battle that took place at International Falls, Mn. I guess a lot of folks were trying to get to Canada and they sealed off the border into Fort Francis. If I heard the report correctly several people were killed. Hope you guys are okay.
Rick,glad to hear from you,and that it is only a problem with the net,guess I may have to find another way into Canada,or just sit and wait for Trax to find me....
Stopping to rip off the Bass Pro shop as I pass, sure looks like it was looted, gotta be worth checking out, lotta gear there. If I'm not back on in a few hours then... guess I didn't make it.
Careful Beo,dont see many people,but the ones I have seen have been strange.
now have water wheel and 24v DC system with an inverter. output wattage is not yet impressive. plan to go scavenging today. would be nice to be able to pump water.
This is on the level, not role-playing. I'm having severe "loading problems" with my dial-up. Way too long loading; it took me like forever just to get to this point. Don't give up on me, I'll solve this problem in the near future and be back soon!:cool:
Wow! Glad to see so many people made it. I know I'm new to the group, but glad you all are doing OK. Have seen some individuals roaming through, scavanging. Didn't make contact with any. Made it to one of the Navy bases nearby (there's 3). No personnel, no ships. Very little equipment that could be moved. I did find a few yard craft, some inflatables, and one tug boat. Working on figuring how to get it moving. Shouldn't be too hard. It has full fuel tanks (about 85,000 gal of diesel). No food or weapons, but I'm pretty good there. Weather's been great. I know some of you were headed north. Let me know if you're coming this way.
How long will the gas be good for 2 years then what ? do I rig up a still and go to alcohol or go back to horse, but what ever I decide to do it had better be before the gas goes bad
Barely made it out of the damn Bass Pro Shop alive, some infected crazies in there had a woman cornered in an isle, shot two and used my hatchet on one, split him like a melon. Got a few more rounds for my .40 cal S&W and picked up a .22 rifle and three boxes of shells for it, tossed it in the back, grabed some rappeling rope from a shelf and for some reason a lantern but no fuel for it. The woman ended up being a nut, she was straight ziggidy boo and had something wrong with her blisters all over her and drooling like sick dog, shot her and got out when I heard a comotion further away, shots and screaming. Been on the road for a while and haven't seen anyone since, when I hit the horse ranch a litle further up the way gonna check the horses and see if I can't pack a couple and ride one cross country. Be back up in a bit.
*Note* Saw a pack of dogs running around scavenging, looked pretty hungry and mean, what the hell has happened?
Beo,
Well, finally some good news. Two families were making their way through the area this morning. Unarmed, no food or water. Three kids between them. Not a very happy lot. I walked around the corner of a building and danged near walked into 'em. They were as surprised as I was. Shocked might be a better word. Lucky they weren't a bunch out looking for trouble. I gave them some food and water and they are shacked up at my place for now. Kids ate like they had never had food.
I've been pretty lucky so far. None of the problems you folks have run into. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
We're going to make another trip to town tomorrow and see if we can scrounge up a couple of more generators and some more fuel. It would be nice if they could move into a couple of the houses around here and we can try to get our lives back to "normal".
Computer's still loading extremley slow, but that's okay for now. Okay, here's my update: Chris found another National Guard dude name of Jerome. Jerome is a top-notch mechanic and he's got some kind of big mother-lovin' "all-terrain" cargo truck; (our tax-dollars at work:rolleyes:) we've loaded up all or extra supplies into the truck which I'm gonna drive. The two grunts will drive the Humvees and are we ever loaded for Bear, Grizzley at that! We had a bit of a start yesterday as we were heading out across the large field in front of my house, going west, when a bunch of nut-case, red-necked Survivalists came out of the woods in their pick-up trucks and shouted at us to give everything to them or they were going to open up on us with their Ruger Mini 14's, shotguns, .22's, a slingshot, and what not. Chris stopped, dived out of his seat, came up through the hatch and cocked that big M-60 .50 cal. machine gun. Then he yelled back: "Hey mother-*******, You wanna take those pop-guns back to K-mart?" Then he opened up on them. Man! He lit those trucks up like the 4th of July! Jerome tossed a couple of Frag. grenades and I opened up with the saw. I got one of them in the head, but only because I started firing low and wasn't used to the weapon. It's recoil caused it to rise and a fluke shot caught one of them square in the head; he dropped like a limp doll. Chris took out four of them in one truck, two inside the cab and two in back, not to mention scrapping that really nice looking F-350; probably just took it off the lot at the Ford dealership. Jerome's grenades wounded two of them as we saw the rest of them picking them up and helping them into the woods. We'll be watching our "6" for awhile, but I think we'll head for California for now and look up SMOK, & any other CA. wolves. More later.
Went out to the truck this morning,thinking I was going to slip into town,and see if there was anything useful to be found there,just my luck that darn truck wont start,battery is fine,I'm thinking it is the fuel pump,great,havent heard from Trax in days,dont know what is going on with him,is he alright??I hope so,but what to do now......?
One of these days this thread is going to bore me. What a joke! :D You aughta change the name of the forum site to Doomsday Survival Forums. :rolleyes:
Why would you post that? I'm confused. If you don't like the thread or it bothers you that some of us are just goofing around with it then you don't have to read. But be honest, you can't stay away can you?:rolleyes:
Rick to un-confuse you.. what you said here can also go for the Wilderness Idea thread. Mockery you want, mockery you get. :DQuote:
