Noted. Another note, can use salmon fillets to barter with half of you here...  
Raiders and pillagers will quickly find themselves looking for plan B after a few rounds whizz by.

We found out last year during a 5 day outage, our well works just fine without power and provides about 3 GPM. Wood stove takes care of heating and I can cook on it when we run out of propane eventually. Got goats (and a neighbor with bucks for breeding) and 5 acres of brush for them to eat. It grows back so fast, I doubt they'll ever run out. We just put in an orchard last weekend and added 3 raised beds to the garden. I plan to can my own fruits and veggies this summer instead of freezing it. Already stock piled dry goods like rice and flour, along with stuff like buillion and seasonings. Just need some chickens and rabbits and we'll be fine for many months. Ya'll stop by for breakfast if you can get past the armed guards at the bridge. The Boy's from Mcneil Island will be very greatful after they over power the guards...stock up on plenty of smokes. lol

Aim is good with my .45. Now I need a new gun to master. Damn, just figured out how that works.... I just finished cleaning and oiling my SHTF survival kit. Mine's manufactured by Colt, model M4 Long guns should be considered an essential part of any survival planning process and gear kit. Short guns are good for defense, but being able to reach out and touch someone shouldn't be left for AT&T customers. Something in the tried and true category of a Rem 870 would be a good addition as well. Water also comes in handy.

Read the Book "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. Makes you wonder what people would really do when all resources are exhausted.....

Aunty,
I like the idea of the gaurds at the bridge, I'd take my turn at watch. A geny and some lights would be helpfull as well. The people on the point are in the SHTF planning stage right now. The whole island could ban together. You would only have to worry about the marine mauraders.....

McCleary power was shut down at midnight tonight for 15 hours. The boys and I broke out our gear for an "off the grid" test for the next few hours. McCleary is an arned camp, with additional LEO support while they upgrade our entire substation. The boys find it fun.
We'll ssee how we did. 15 hours should be easy. We'll retool from there.

Read the Book "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. Makes you wonder what people would really do when all resources are exhausted..... No schit. Prolly the bleakest SHTF picture ever painted. Haven't seen the talking moving picture show, but don't think I needs to. If real lifes got like that, I'd opt for the bullet. Easy call.
