Papa's got a brand new chat

power went out here on monday cause of forest fire almost burnig down a station... we were out of power all afternoon until midnight. funny how when the power goes out in a few working hours how many places cant do anything...

was at gas station and the clerk was freaked out like we might be out for DAYS.. damn.. chill lady, glad she was wrong though.

 

I thought maybe you were running like this in the race...

That was pretty funny...

I'll have to check this one out. Thanks for the heads up

 

climbing up on my soap box...

one of the most interesting (and likely, IMO) shtf scenarios is an EMP, whether human caused or solar projectile vomit. if induced current blows out the transformers, how long will it be until you can replace it?

its exactly why preparedness is smart, and personal. there are crazy preppers, and there are people who prep for the very unlikely scenarios as well as the most likely. sometimes they seem to go overboard, but only because you probably arent planning for scenario Q14, maybe you are just prepared for the lights to go out. maybe you are ready to bug out in case of fire, which knows no borders. maybe you have a cache of survival equipment and a bug-out bag stocked enough for you to hike to it. maybe you practice hunting and fishing and foraging, maybe you craft your own tools in the most primitive ways. its personal. i dont eat much, but my husband and son have hollow legs. im on a regular medication. we have pets we are responsible for. my plan is different than your plan. but you MUST have a plan. even if its just copies of important documents and pictures at a secondary location. be safe

 

lol electricity.. i used to love how people would complain to me the power was out.
Im like "why you bitching at me". they say "youre an electrician do something."..

light a candle curse the glare.. lol..

 

i have a flash light and a couple candles....

i can draw water from the well......other than that...isay fuck it.....

you cant live your life waiting for a disaster.....

i'm lucky to live on the canadian shield.....my house isa rental so i could givea fuck about it.......

lost everything i own in a fire[twice] so i'm not overly attatched to anything here physical....

id can be replaced as can most important papers.....pictures are copied online?

 

I have enough dry food to last for weeks or months probably. Not because I prep, but becauae I always buy rice in bulk and always have 3 types. Plus dried beans, flour, sugar, etc. Could cook with propane on our camping stove if we needed to.

 

"Entrance Requirements are used as a guideline for success in this Apprenticeship program. They are recommended, not required."

Requirements aren't required? I've also found 2 spelling mistakes on this site... its BCIT's website, I thought that was a good school... They need to read over their info maybe

 

Ortus, I think it is absolutely wonderful that you seem to be seriously looking into this apprenticing, that you've found something you're interested in pursuing. IMO that is half the battle - finding something you're really interested in.


We keep lots of milk cartons filled with water, and LOTS of candles. Canned food a'plenty...need to get more dried food.

 

slow nite

At least before everything was digital
You could lose power and still go to store....
Cash registers would work,
everything didn't shut down completely
Like it does today ....

 

I get jobs because I point out spelling mistakes in ads. my current job, spelling mistake. 'oh you know they dont drug test..

 

me too....didntsee the whole movie but what i saw was ok

back in the 50s?.....how old are you?




jk.....



in a power outage our ferry has plugs for people to use....it has an onboard generator....i was actualy thinking if i had an electric scooter or car i could charge it on the ferry free everyday


gasoline would be a problem.....pumps wouldnt work

 

Way back in the dayyyyyy.....lol
Digital hasn't been around that long ..has it?

 

Ahhhhh,you kids know nothing!

I remember when it was all analogue fields round here.......

 

Yes I was mad when tv went digital
I wanted to keep analogue
but you didn't have a choice :/
I didn't think that was that long ago tho

 

So... i've found out my fractured metatarsal bone will not be healed up until about 8-12 weeks. Yay!

I was really hoping for it to be healed almost healed for my trip in 4 weeks.
