Survivalists & their "Positive" view of TSHTF!

[nell67]

Yea,I knew about the stones,LOL I just wasn't thinking....

[trax]

That's my favorite Stones' tune actually. Love the guitar riffs, probably why I caught it. Trust WE to come in as the devil.
Communications here are kicked out by the way. I'm foraging through Winnipeg, avoiding other looters, trying to find a way to communicate with other WolfPack members (one in particular )

[nell67]

Sarge,I am heading to Canada,trying to find a certain member up there,haven't heard from him though,so not sure if he made it....

[nell67]

Sarge,Rick,are you guys ok??? WE you havent heard from Trax ...have you??

[trax]

I move through downtown streets staying close to buildings, watching for movement. Corpses are everywhere, burned out cars piled into each other and into buildings, windows are smashed, some stores have been looted.

I have a pair of snow goggles and a liteweight scarf wrapped around my nose and mouth, it was the quickest safety/breathing apparatus I could come up with. I am certain that the virus has run its course, but I don't want to find out the hard way that I'm not immune. This morning I looted a hunting/outfitting shop. I have a .243 rifle, a 40 cal handgun and a Bowie knife. I have a small backpack loaded with MRE's and a first aid kit. Now I'm looking for someplace where I can find operational communications. I'm moving toward the financial area, banks and brokerages have their own servers and emergency power generators. I see a small group of looters climbing through the broken front window of a retail outlet. I fade back into the shadows and wait, moving only when I'm sure they've moved on. There have been surprisingly few looters...so many dead. the corpses stink around me.

With the butt of the rifle, I break the glass panel of the front door of a banking tower and climb through the opening. I head for the stairs, not trusting the elevators running on emergency power. If I can get online, I can search for my friends. After I make a comm. link, I'll steal a 4x4 truck and load up with jugs of water and food that is sealed. But there's no point in heading out from here until I have somewhere to head. I kick in the door of the first set of offices I come too. A woman's corpse is at a desk with her head down on the keyboard. the computer is gone. I gently push her back on her rolling chair, but her body flops sideways and hits the carpet. I start typing...

Nell? Sarge? WE? Rick? Where is anyone?

[nell67]

TRAX!!! You are ok,I was getting worried,so glad to finally hear from you,I am trying to head your way,heard from Sarge,WE and Rick,last night,also hopeak and canadian CG,but nothing from them today.

[trax]

Get me a fix on you location, maybe google earth still works and I can get it here. Now that I know the Net works, I'll take a laptop and all the batteries I can find when I pull out of here. I'm going to head east then south to find you. Don't have wheels yet, will by days end.

[nell67]

I have made it to Indianapolis,not going into that city.Going North West around,heading to Illinois.

[trax]

If I have to go through Chicago, I may need more firearms (No wait! That was before the virus!)

[Rick]

Wow! Hab I got a coad. A berry bad coad. Scared da pee waddins outta me 'cause I taught I had the bug. (Sniff). I managed to find some can goods and even scrounged up a generator from some guy's garage. I sure wish I had listened (cough) to you guys about preparations. I got 12 cans of beans at one house. I hab no idea why they had that many but ain't I lucky?

[canid]

after further consideration, i've determined that i'm not in fact dead, it just felt like it for a bit.

i've gathered the batteries from my neighborhood's vehicles, my trim routers, solderin iron and a pack load of gear together with all of my bulk grains and beans. i'm headed via toyota tacoma up the tuolumne to where the water's cleaner. the hills up this way are drivable off-road for a long ways. there's nothing in this valley to keep me here.

[nell67]

No ,going around Chicago just to the south of it,heard about that city,lol ,slow going on horse back,but the roads are all pretty much a mess

[nell67]

Rick! Glad you are going to be ok,thought about stopping by to see if you were all right,but thought you were a goner,when I didnt hear from you again,so rode on past. Hey canid see you are alright as well.

[trax]

No ,going around Chicago just to the south of it,heard about that city,lol ,slow going on horse back,but the roads are all pretty much a mess

Get a 4x4 and fill up, take a few jerrycans and fill them as well. The price never will be better than it is right now! And do you have a gun? Cuz..they're free too, probably anyone you meet is going to be armed.

[nell67]

All I have is a Lorson ambidextrous 380 with me,but I am sure I can find something,will snag the next 4x4 I see and head for the nearest gas station

[canid]

better get something bigger than that, millions of domestic dogs are going to get hungry soon.

[nell67]

the dogs are eating on the copses, the Lorson is what I grabbed when I left,but should be able to find something bigger soon.

[trax]

Head shots, it'll stop man or dog, approach any place your foraging/looting with caution. Others will be looking for the same resources you will.

[nell67]

Gotcha Trax,I found a 4x4 and have 3 cans of gas in the back and a full tank,am heading to Wisconson,the fastest way I can get there,where are you?

[Sarge47]

Me an' Mr. Bull Dozer been knocking down houses! Now I got me a good field of fire. I had to make some windows in the North & south part of my house so's I can see all around me! Met a former National Guards man name of Chris who's got a military Humvee. If we can figure out where to go I might leave here. He's gonna hook up a trailer to it but I don't know how that'll work on the roads, may have to move with just whatever we can load up in the Humvee itself. Shot at someone today who took a pot shot at me. I caught him square in the eye with a High Velocity .22 cal. LR Hollow Point! Went right into his brain neat as you please. Geez the size of the hole in the back was enough to make me barf, but I think I'm getting a bit used to all this gore. Guy looked like one of those "hard-core" survivalist types who seem to think he was bullet-proof. Doggone you Rick, you scared the crap outta me! Take lots of Vitamin "C" to knock that cold outta your system, unless that Nurse wife of yours has some anti-biotics stashed somewhere. Trax, glad you're up and around. Thought you had "gone under" for sure. war Eagles been messin' with the Stones music again. Probably hitting the Turkey pretty hard too. I'll let you know what we're up to. May head for Canada as well as they seem to have a lot more Wilderness up that way.
