Can't help noticing

That Forbes, the Economist, the Wall Street Journal, the National Post, Business Weekly are all still not covering wilderness survival. (I know...shocking, unbelievable! where are their heads at?) Maybe we should focus on covering that and let them focus on things like how to do your tax returns or what funds to buy into or when to dump stocks or what the hell ever

I think if the **** hits the fan the way everyone's been whining about here I'd rather have a knife than a gold brick or a mutual fund. What knife isn't a survival knife?

**flandersander** · 03-18-2008, 09:13 PM

true. but what about when you want a new boat? Camper? Fishing rod? Flint? W/E then i bet most of us would rather have a massive chest full of gold bricks.

**Stony** · 03-18-2008, 10:14 PM

we are lucky, i guess. we have both good knifes and a new boat.
this past monday, the whole monetary system in NA almost went down the drain.
the what?
gov. cheats?

**flandersander** · 03-18-2008, 10:37 PM

can't argue with that.

Pppffffffttttttt. Pessimists. Worry worts.

**Canadian-guerilla** · 03-19-2008, 08:48 AM

NO FINANCIAL CRAP HERE !!

**Rick** · 03-19-2008, 08:49 AM

Uh, irony CG - Trax was offering irony. He was saying STOP ALL THE FINANCIAL CRAP AND GET BACK TO SURVIVAL STUFF.

How'd I do Trax?

**nell67** · 03-19-2008, 08:51 AM

You said that very well Rick,thank you.

**Rick** · 03-19-2008, 12:42 PM

Sam - And you can bet we know what's going on. Why just last night Bernanke called and wanted to know...........

**Rick** · 03-19-2008, 01:58 PM

Yeah thanks Rick, you hit the point with some and miss with others, I suppose.

What if I want a new boat or fishing rod? Then I'm not too worried about TSHTF am I ned?

**flandersander** · 03-20-2008, 07:46 PM

Well I suppose my post was some contraversial but I stand by it. A knife will do more don't get me wrong but i'm not exactly prepared to start living off the grid. I live in a small town and am prepared to hunt and fish for my life but for now i am living a modern life. and i'm happy with that.

**palerider** · 03-21-2008, 10:05 AM

well i guess i'll cancel my subscription to the post and weekly then here i've been waiting figuring they would write about survival sooner or later maybe after the wall collapses they will write about it after the money just dissapears intio thin air didn't they make a movie about that

**Rick** · 03-21-2008, 10:09 AM

Oh, yea. Paranoia. It starred Larry Drake and Brigette Bako. Released in 1997. But I don't think it was about disappearing money.

**Rick** · 03-21-2008, 11:30 AM

Well, you saw what the Fed did this week. Now you know why.....
