[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 3193521, member: 24583"] Ha interesting remembering about Y2K. Had some bigger customers send me forms to fill out of how I was going to handle the Y2k crisis. Responded to them, expected my headboard 6:20 alarm to go off as usual, thought my battery was good to start my truck, thought the key I had been using for 5 years would still work in the door at the office, and would be open for business. Ya all come over if you have no other place to go then your whizzo electronic door lock does not work or you need to get out because your high tech alarm system is malfunctioning. I will have coffee, even if I have to take some of these thousands of papers out of the copy machine and hand feed them in to make a little fire in the parking lot to boil it. We will keep our priorities right. I do live in the country, most likely different than the OP's story had to deal with here. 35 air miles from Tulsa and am an older guy. so I have a different attitude. I live "bugged out" in comparison to some here who live in towns. Told an 8 pointer to "get" from my front yard area before I let my dogs out last night. I do not think of my self as a "prepper" but I have been a boy scout in my life. Winter now living in an all elect house, remembering several years ago without elect 7 days, no water 4 days, no cell phone 5 days with the ice storm 12 or so years ago got me fine tuned. Ham radio is good. Boat and mower gas cans full during the winter for the generator for aux heaters for example. I have decided that if I have done my job to use more than 500 + rounds of .223, couple thousand + rounds of .45, guess I will give up by standing up with my index fingers in the air, and not go through laying 6 months in the bed expiring from cancer or something like that in the hospital or go through the aftemath of what might be left over at that point after the SHTF gets to my neighborhood. Not really a prepper, but I do have a few extra rolls of toilet paper on hand just in case, ya know. [/QUOTE]
