The whole world needs a ww3 to kill off the stupid and rebuild.
Sad but I think it’s time.
Sorry to offend some but reality sucks. "
Just remember war isn't selective on who dies.
I'm sure Canadian families and vets of WW 1 and WW 2 wouldn't think their loved ones who gave their lives for this country were stupid, and wouldn't at all be offend by your post.

Ashamedly, during my tenure at the Slum of the Ghetto, we have dramatically moved away from food self sufficiency . Obviously the dependence on electrical power and home heating without wood or coal happened before I took over. BUT, I would know what to do to feed ourselves if I had too. I bet there would be few who could live the lifestyle of our rural grandparents....and our kids...yikes what would their fate be.

I've put a bit of thought how long our household could survive in the event of a breakdown of "normal" - no electricity for an extended period, no refrigeration, no electronics which are required tor run anything and everything, including generators, etc.
And my conclusions are anything but reassuring, even though our family does a significant amount of preserves.
If a disruption of "normal" would happen in the heart of a Canadian winter, the survival rate of the radicals who are calling for the end of our way of life would be very, very poor.
And there's the irony, the very ones who purport to be environmental messiahs would likely be among the first to perish.Last edited by burnt; Jan 8, 2018, 04:50.

Couldn't agree more. It wouldn't be pretty. But alot of rural people would have a greater skill set and supplies to help them survive.
We take so much for granted.

We mill all our own flour. Press canola oil. Collect hazelnuts and wild mushrooms.
Freezer is full of beef lamb rabbit and deer.
We grow veggies and freezing them and grow some in winter.
Mom makes pasta.
We have yellow peas and lentils in jars in the cupboard.
We make sausage and jerky.
Big wood stove in the basement... And enough tree bluffs to heat our home for years.
Our water source is a well a few yards from the house 20' down spring fed.
We have horses.
We'd make out just fine if the world went to hell and we ended up in 1890 again I think...

If you gave 70% of the people a live animal they would still starve trying to figure out what to do with it.
