How do You Like Your Squirrel?<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m very proud of myself. I hit Costco and picked up a few survival items, and I also received some very nice Cor-Bon defensive ammunition.<\/p>\n

It’s funny, but if you own a few guns–just a few–and you stock a reasonable amount of target and defensive ammuntion for each one, you end up with a surprising capacity to defend your property. It’s not the goal, but I suppose it’s a positive side effect. <\/p>\n

I don’t buy large amounts of ammunition so I can hold off the police while spouting half-truths about Ruby Ridge over a megaphone. I buy them because you can pay, say, $250 for a thousand rounds all at one time, or you can pay $650 for the same ammunition, in dribs and drabs. Bulk is the way to do it.<\/p>\n

I don’t think real survival nuts will be impressed by the things I’m buying. I just don’t believe we could have a multi-year crisis in which things like flour and running water are completely unavailable. A tremendous number of improbable things have to happen in order for us to end up in that situation. But I do think Obama is a weakling, and he is going to invite terrorism, and it’s entirely possible that a nuclear blast on our soil could cause terrible screwups that would make food hard to get for a month or so.<\/p>\n

I got canned fish and twelve pounds of rice. I now have a total of about seventeen pounds. I wanted dried beans, but Costco doesn’t sell them. Hard to believe. I guess I’ll swing by Gordon Food Supply.<\/p>\n

The country ham idea is a winner. I can’t think of any reason why a ham can’t be made airtight in some way, to keep it from getting hard. The paraffin idea is okay, but you would have to get the paraffin off somehow. If I knew what kind of wax they put on cheese, it would be perfect.<\/p>\n

If I had to go two months on country ham and rice and beans, I think I’d be ahead of most people.<\/p>\n

I should go ahead and get a good BB gun. Squirrels are just too plentiful and delicious to ignore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
