Those that recommended 'One Second After'

[SA Friday]

You guys suck! This is the scariest damn book I've read in a long time, and it's going to cost me a lot. I'm way not prepared for this magnatude of reality. I'm not even finished with the book, and I'm planning.

My new goal is a minimum of 9 months of canned, jarred, and stored longterm food stock not requiring refrigeration by the end of the summer. I will be working on purchasing materials and learning canning with a pressure cooker in the few moments I get in between my current schedule.

I gotta figure out something for seed stock and fencing too.

Suggest you read "the road" next, then you will really have problems.

"One Second After" gives you a lot of things to think about that usually gets lost in your everyday thinking. Great book I thought. "The Road" both the book and the movie are very dark sided but again makes you think about your plans.
Your Planning May Vary

There is a canning/Mylar storage class this weekend here in the springs. And I have a canner for sale.

You're welcome. Have you read Lights Out yet? They are pretty much the same story, but Lights Out isn't nearly as emotionally draining as One Second After is.

I tried to get my fiance to read OSA, but she refuses, so I gave it to my dad and asked him to read it as a favor to me.

About how far through the book are you?

[SA Friday]

Thanks for the info Jerry. I will let you know if I can make the class.

I'm about half way through the book. They are just figuring out they are going to get hit with a very large group of raiders. It's just going to be fricken ugly. I can see it already. Man, I'd of been making sears and springs for some of those firearms long before this. I'd of had a few canisters of kaboom to drop from that plane cooked up by now too.

The biggest eye opener so far is just how dependent we are on the transportation infrastructure for a steady resupply of food and medications. I mean, I see it working at walmart all the time. Hell, we got totally cleaned out last weekend due to superbowl parties. A mad rush would turn that place into a killing field. It's the months afterward that Really have me thinking.

If it is not out of place does any one have a copy they could lend me? i would pay for shipping both ways.

By the time you pay for shipping both ways you might as well spend a few extra bucks to buy yourself a copy. It's worth owning and B&N usually has a few copies on hand.
