that was fucking stupid

waste of 3 minutes of my worthless life

>>7859
If your life is worthless anyway, why kvetch?

Two questions: 1. What kind of kick ass (Reagan era tech?) scope is that?
and 2. What kind of camo is the parka/jacket? (Military parka? What country is it from?)
Thank you

im gonna give this one more night, or the ship's sailing with only 6 mateys. no room for doom and gloom on this vessel!

Whenever everyone else is good let's get man.

ive been delaying sorry. but i saw two vehicles recently that i thought could be really good.

the first was a tour bus, like the kind a bunch of tourists would take. it was just so god damn big, certainly big enough for 7 people to spread out with their shit, sleep, and have sectioned out rooms for first aid and growing weed.

the second is pictured, an interstate batteries truck. you cant see from this pic but the front wheels have all these spikes for lug nuts, like old school battle chariots or something. it just seems beefy, its even got that reinforcement bar over the rear wheels. the rear compartment could be hollowed out and have seats added, and maybe a little door to connect the cab to the rear.

Magnificent 6, what do you think?

Assuming an abrupt depopulation and halt of civilization, stores of propane will last a lot longer than gasoline or diesel fuel, although, if the fuel is in underground storage tanks, it will take electricity to pump it out or some cleverness with a pump truck.

>>8247
right on, as stated before i too think a larger truck would be the best bet to get the hell out of town.

What do ya think about a UPS truck... i hear they're pretty good on fuel and they have plenty of room for whatever. Hell, you can even put a bike in the back.

>>8234

I'm not offended in the slightest. In fact, now I'm very interested in that book, as I LOVED the City of Ember and would like to read anything similar to it. The idea of creating a utilitarian underground city with a goal of driving forward the overall lifespan of the human race considering that we are a very self destructive society.... it's a wonderful concept. Thanks for letting me know this needtoknow.

Just spent 40 minutes typing out a guide to remove radioactive particles (and any particles) in your water while being underground. But I accidently click a board icon just before I was going to press the submit button. Here have .pdf on underground building.

Wow, way to be a cool fellow. Ill type out the book and post it here.

Chapter one, Ill post a chapter a day.

This is great, please keep posting . Just no-bump each time as to not annoy others here.

When I was in grade 8 we had a contest to filter out dirt to make clean drinking water. There was lots of cotton, coffee filters, toilet paper, and wire meshes. I lost because no water came thrue (in 10 minutes) but by the end of the day I got a prize for the clearest water. It's really simple to make. I have a picture but there is probably a video on youtube showing it...

/watch?v=zHilE1ukkjY

Need to find an easy way to filter salt water en mass. Solar stills appear to be the easiest way, but they are labor intensive, are prone to flaking out, and inefficient (in terms of labor to benefit).

>>8204

Nice set-up, but you would still need to kill the bacteria and other life forms in it, probably through UV treatment.

I'm not really the technically-savvy kind of guy...
I'd probably just boil my water to kill potentially harmful microorgranisms.

>>8204
That filter could kill you, It can't filter out anything but large particulates and most color. You can still contract crypto and other life threatening bugs if you drink from that. The media will also hold onto the bugs and give some of them a place to breed and continue to infect your water so it would have to have everything replaced after around 10 gallons filtered.

Good idea, but the goals that it was designed to meet did not have actual survival in mind. It would be a huge improvement if you swapped the sand for ground charcoal filter element, but you will still need to open it up and let the insides dry in the sun after and it won't protect you from bugs,

US Atlas E missile silo in Osage City, Kansas. Retired by the military and selling for $285,000. There are dozens like this one, it's surprising how little they sell for.

>>8118
It takes a lot to refurbish them and the governemnt has always had low selling points for land in the past, it makes sense.

>>8118
>>8124

You'd still expect a ex-government facility to sell for more.

Supervolcano, comet, meteor, pandemic, or just gradual environmental degradation leading to the whole world turning into Liberia. Seriously, melted icecaps and a busted ozone layer would wreck the economy of every country on the planet.
A couple of food crops fail, and BAM, we're fighting bikers with football pads and mohawks over POTATOES.

>World Powers start fighting over the remaining oil reserves.
>Nuclear Weapons are used (I'm looking at you, Israel).
>Depending on how well people react to it decides how much of a shithole the World becomes

Most likely apocalypse is probably Greenland melting and sliding off into the Atlantic. At present melt rates, this is pretty much guaranteed if no significant climate change reductions are made.

This would eliminate the gulf stream, causing northern Europe to freeze. Solid. Worst case scenario, this large change in atmospheric temperature could begin a vicious cycle and eventually end our interglacial warm period ahead of schedule. I.E, rest of world also freezes and new ice age begins.

Social unrest after we run out of oil and what remains is horded by the government, army, and super rich

I personally think that an Economic Collapse and/or Overpopulation are the two most likely scenarios wherein society regresses. I want you to imagine for a moment, the US Economy suddenly hitting the crapper. They have got nothing. With the Euro being unstable as fuck, that leaves China as the world's main economy. Slowly but surely, all of America will turn into Detroit. Abandoned Factories and companies, people scrounging to get by, except for a few privileged members.

Or how about this? Eventually the population reaches numbers far too high. People consume, they exhume, trash becomes a larger issue. Workplaces are becoming larger and industrialized. We need more NOW. More food, more product, more places to put all that garbage. The number only climbs and climbs. People turn to Fiction and Media more and more because of how dissatisfied they are with their lives. And nearly suddenly, the growth stops. It comes to a grinding halt. We run out. Of Gas, of Food, of what have you. Not because there wasn't enough, but because there was just too many people consuming it all. No amount of spared usage could have stopped that from happening. Cities are cut off from each other without means to transport. People starve, they die. Slow... painful... horrible deaths. Except for a few who manage to scrounge in the heaps of trash. Some resort to cannibalism.

Or perhaps as a much more frightening alternative to me, everyone turns to virtual reality so much that they abandon the real world and go off to permanently live in virtual constructs. Nearly everyone leaves the cities in a state of disrepair, as they just live happy ignorant lives inside bubbles. Man becomes god of his own realm, and leaves the realm of reality to crumble into dust.



Out of the two scenarios, I favor economic collapse. Regardless, I think we need to be taken down a peg. Civilization is like a plant: Overgrowth is bad for it, and the only way it can truly flourish is by trimming the dead leaves.

I'll live like 25 miles from the ocean when the icecaps melt. That's awesome!

>>7613
Hey guys! Sorry to burst your bubble... but A.) It's nearly impossible for the South Pole to melt. Since it is on land, not floating on water like the North Pole, the average temperature would have to rise (it's currently like -30something) to over 32.1.

Plus, if the earth did ever warm up enough to melt both poles, the sun's rays would no longer be reflected by the ice/snow of the poles, and global temperatures would rise to over 80 degrees Celsius (more than double some of the hottest temperatures on earth now), and we would not be able to survive.

Just fyi.

>>8178
because im sure NO ONE could figure out a way to survive at that heat

a lot of us would die but im sure humans would find a way to survive

>>8179
If humans had the forethought to go deep underground... maybe. There is no way we could live on the surface at that temperature though. Of course it would be a gradual process, so maybe a few governments would have the time/money to build long-term (maybe permanent) underground bases or maybe a moonbase...

But all of us poor civilians would be royally fucked until something changed that allowed the earth to cool and the icecaps to re-form (which would take thousands of years, if possible).

my house is 30ft from the mainland

my house is now on a beach

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

At 50 meters the ocean would reach the very bottom of my garden, which slopes down and seems legit.

>fuck yeah garden beach

I'm sorry, but I don't think many people are going to help. I mean how do you make a book gruesome to the point of life-long trauma?

>>8162
Such read would be quite joyful and fitting.

>>8163
Well, at least something macabre with detailed description of torn-off decomposing limbs? Even though I would rather need something with twisted and weird plot...

Only way to induce something close to a ''life-time long trauma'' through writing isn't done by describing gruesome events. It's done by either brilliant writing or brilliant ideas, preferably both. Write a brilliant story outlining the futility of life questioning every decision she has ever made. Make her whole outlook on life look childish and shatter her belief system.

Good luck.

Fingering your sister and finding your dad's wedding ring.

just do a book report on "billions and billions"

and for the flashback cutting style, I was thinking about the Edgar Wright quick cut, but for emphasis almost all of the shots would be slow motion, but the flashback would also be filled with a distorted version of the ambient noise of the scene being shown and filled with very quick images, almost like subliminal messages, so it would be this quick cutting style, but extreme slowmo, and super quick images to put across the idea of what is happening, for example, making a cup of tea would be the same as in shaun of the dead but pulling off the cap of the milk bottle would seriously just be a picture for a millisecond, pouring the water and milk would be the same length, but the film being shown would be extreme close-ups of the liquid flying through the air, with extremely awe inspiring versions of what is happening audio-wise, like for the milk being poured, waves can be heard in the distance crashing, or a waterfall, I was thinking of doing this a lot before the character gets bitten, as a symbol of them rushing around and not really putting too much thought into what they're doing, and eventually some really close angles would be everywhere, showing a lot of care and concentration.

i like anything in a movie thats a bit unexpected like in the departed when all the main characters out of no where just start dying in the last 5 minutes

id watch something like that for sure, now just make it :)

I moved out of a big county partly for this reason. now that i'm reluctantly back in it, i'm putting all my bets on how stupid and lazy people are and hoping i can get out at the first concrete sign

tbh i think when the time comes, improvisation and how to handle it immediately is what matters

>>8108
I have had a philosophy that has served me well through the years. Whatever comes, I will roll with the punches as best I can, live as long as I can, and die when I should. Anything more specific than that is too much forethought.

>>8135
I just quoted you on my facebook. That was a great couple of sentences right there.

>>7453
You obviously dont know shit about guns if you think they aren't excellent weapons especially in a survival scenario, you probably think carrying a battle rifle and .50BMG would be a good idea. because nothing dies without being torn up with bullets.

This thread, is godly.
I'm taking a wilderness survival class in college right now, next semester possibly taking a backpacking and a rock climbing class.

Something else that could be useful, field guides or guides on the plant life as well as animal life in your area. If you know where certain plants are, you will know where certain game and animals are AKA FOOD. It can also help you find out which areas to avoid animals such as bears, mountain lions, rattlers. The maps/guides will also help you find edible plants, as well as the ones you shouldn't eat that will leave your dick in the dirt. They are lightweight, and easy to pack or even keep in your back pocket. My Survival instructor GLORIFIES these, he's a tracker and he's worked with Tom Brown before and have actually tracked humans. I take his word with almost anything he says.

>>8119
...what the fuck? When I went to school they didn't have ANY of that.

>>8087
Is that your tin, or a generic tin? Also, consider NOT wearing something orange in an emergency situation.

>>8091
Take lard from game, and ash...make soap. Not a huge priority for me, as I can make it.
For sharpening, diamond rod and a Tungston speedysharp are my picks.

>>8112
Because insulting Americans is the go to way to handle things, fucking faggot.

>implying having an icechest and 2 foldable chairs in a survival situation wouldnt be fucking awesome
