Are you a Survival Hoarder?

[2dumb2kwit]

I'm not a hoarder, I am an eclectic collector.

I like that one! LOL

My woman has called me Fred Sanford, but that's OK. I come by it honest. I've heard my mom call my dad Fred Sanford. LOL

I just finished watching a documentary about people with hoarding disorders. ?

Definition of "Hoarding Disorder"............One who needs to re-balance their inventory. As in having "NOT" enough Ammo, and too many cans of sardines.

Ah, the ole Hoard House and Whiskey Emporium.

Contrary to popular belief, I NEVER went to one of those; but there is one in Bogota ..... oh nevermind. I'm glad MRS GI ain't here.

Ammunition? Well I suppose - if all of my guns hadn't been lost in the move.

Yeah.... I know BUT it make's really good barter items...Since mine (guns)were stolen It's hard to get out of the habit of buying ammo... So i'll have a lot for barter.

Since all of our guns have been stolen (mine included ) does that make us all victims of gun crime?

Why wouldn't you take something thats free?? You can always figure out what to do with it later, I mean, IT'S FREE! And if it's free why wouldn't you take two?? If one free thing is good then two free things is clearly twice as good, right?

[trax]

I don't need to hoard stuff, if TSHTF, I just have to choose my victims carefully.

Jack London wrote several essays about men who nearly starved to death in the arctic, and once recovered, they always had food in every pocket. Those who ran out of matches, and nearly froze, they either left the arctic or hoarded matches. Matches are one of the many things that I hoard.

I think those of us who were raise in poverty, and left home with nothing at the age of 15, (as I did) We value things differently. Know one gave us anything, and what we worked for we are going to keep it till it is totally useless, and then see if parts of it can be salvaged. Even if I buy new stuff, I still save (Hoard) the old stuff.

A few years ago a neighbor tore down a old barn. He has dozer's and backhoes, he could have pushed it into a pile and burned it, but he removed each board, then removed each nail carefully, and put it into a five gal. bucket with other nail of the same size. He had 14 buckets of used nails. He was a good man, he was my friend.

It seems that I'm an exception here... I've always been a big fan of "winging it". That's why I only have a steady supply of beer...

[Rick]

Well said, Sourdough. My wife shakes her head when I stop and pick up that tool in the street or take some broken item apart and put the pieces in the parts bin. Heaven only knows how many times those spare parts have been recycled to live on in some other contraption.

I take it your friend has passed on. If so, my condolences.

[cowgirlup]

There is a "free" area at the town dump where people leave unwanted items.
I have picked up a bunch of good books, canning jars and misc stuff. This week I got a Dietz lantern that just needs a good cleaning!
It's like a treasue hunt!

[crashdive123]

Sourdough - I do believe you've been accused of taking it to extremes.
