So...we've the US in a debt crises. The military about to be gutted since the Super 12 can't get it together. Congress can't/won't/clueless on working together. Big O inadvertently started a class warfare. Drug cartel is getting way out of hand on our southern border. California is being....california also a cali university rioting because of tuition hike. Justin Bieber is not some kid father so the teeny bopper rage is back on for him. Rick Perry has brain farts on the podium, OWS getting off the chain, 41 cent of the dollar is debt or something, and coffee prices might go up again. 2012 people.

So....I've 20 acres in northern WI, well, septic, nice size log cabin (900sqft) generator, food (MRE's/can goods/flour/hunting damn good up there), servicable weapons with enough ammo to sustain 4 major firefights, 4 sets of body army, workshop with tools that a man collects after so many years (snap on/craftsman) SO yes..I say I can sustain my family for quite awhile up there.

Land is easy to defend. Tall pine tree's and thick under growth. Running stream through it so fishing is good. A skid steer loader (mini bulldozer) to improve positions and expand bunkers.

(Just having fun)

If the world goes to Hell in a hand basket. What can you offer me for safety and security. What can you contribute to Fortress Dakka

Arguments.

Also, living in WI you also have the Packers!

It's amazing that the largest and most gluttonous military industrial complex in the history of mankind getting trimmed (and still being more expensive then every other military on earth combined) is a sign of the end times. Satan must have those anti missile laser planes we cancelled.

Once the world ends, you can go around and collect what's left of them and make them play for you in your giant underground arena!

We need more lasers and more military. That way we can finally become imperialists and take all of the everything.

Hopefully more military lasers.

I mean you can give them all the dvd players you want, I am not sure they help.

Lasers that shoot out more funds for more lasers. Problem solved.

Which in our scenario would need to be bottlecaps.

If someone has a bulletproof vest, beat them to death with a DVD player. Eventually they'll make and wear a DVD player proof vest and in that case we start using guns again.

WHEN DVD PLAYERS ARE OUTLAWED ONLY OUTLAWS WILL HAVE DVD PLAYERS

Make stronger DVD players to try and race the production of vests, just like with guns.

I hate that fething plane.

I do not know the weapons the next war will be fought with, but the war after will be fought with DVD players.

I nominate myself for the general of the zombie hordes. What do I bring to the cause of the Undead? Helmets.

Jihadin, you're really not prepared for a post-apocalyptic world.

I suggest you start buying (and drinking) lots of beer, bottles only, and saving up the bottle caps.

You also need to get way more sets of body armor. After each fight, you'll need to combine two of them together to get it back to peak condition.

And, start stocking up on Stimpaks. Food really isn't all that helpful. It's only useful for healing up between fights, and you can just drink from the toilet to do that.

Pfft, I'd bring screen doors and a newspaper for the odd zombie here and there.

Don't taunt me...

Bring your 40K

Stimpack...ppffftttt your old school...5 hrs mini slug shots is the way to go. That and chewing coffee grinds

Fine, do all the stimms you want. After four days without sleep you start to hallucinate, and then the helmeted zombies will swamp your position.

zombie was not part of the fun discussion yet...we need to regress there...so far the financial collapse and people are out running around looking to survive. Vast majority have not prepared for it and are likely succumb...to..starvation and death. Resources are drying up and gas is good for a year before going bad. So I need someone who has electrical background...wind generator...and the electicution blanket on the floor for any...illegal...visits

You're going to run a generator 24/7? Tsk, Tsk. If not someones just going to wait for a windless day to invade your couch fort.

I have thought about this alot.

Here's what I have to bring to the table...

Nothing.

Yup, I'm a goner.

I am very good with a katana believe it or not... I kid you not. And I'm small enough to be sent out on stealthy missions to steal supplies/get rid of troublesome people.

I am also very profficient in physics and can work well as weapons designer and fortifier. I also know the physics of electrical engineering though we haven't study it in depth yet.

Wow...actually think I'm going to run a generator 24/7....I'm not as soft as you think I am. I crank the generator only in a emergency. It better be a good damn emergency. Running the recharger for the DVD player...is not an emergency.....cranking the hand generator to recharge your DVD batteries is the way to go. It'll buff up on upper chest....and some you all need to grow a upper chest.

A katana...negative..not going to happen. If you need a weapon...well I know where to go for weapons commercial outlets. Military grade weapons. I just need muscles and security to "acquire" weapons for Fortress Dakka. Bring your own baby wipes to...tiolet paper I have is military...like wiping with 40 grit....

Easy E....nothing to offer? You have one thing I probaly need...are you good at...sprinting for long distance?

Nope.

However, I'm working on acquiring a water cannon.

Your in look...good source of water to nearby to sustain the water cannon. You sir are my Heavy Weapon operator. Besides operating the water cannon you also have to get the coffee going first thing in the morning. Take your turn washing dishes and cooking....you can cook right?....boiling water is not cooking....can you skin a deer?

I can cook, I can skin and butcher a deer as well as pigeons, rabbits and squirrels, I can make a variety of improvised painkillers and explosives from basic chemical supplies, I'm 6'2" and I weigh around 171lb.

However I would probably go mad without tea and jelly babies...

Well...I do enjoy black tea....so be quite a huge stash of boxes of tea......as for IED's...it has to be command detonate on main walkways into and out of Fortress Dakka. Frag grenades can be acquired along with javelins...claymore...C4...AT4's..anyway....your SoL on the jelly babies....maybe raid a walmart or something...have to scout around first and see what can be salvage. No red Charger with the alarm going off driving around is not going to happen.

I can do graphic design. Does your couch fort need cool signage?
