i really wish he saw the episode with the guy that has a tunnel net work and he trains "teenage rangers" with crappy airsoft guns. And his plan was sleeping in holes and fighting the enemy through attrition. I never laughed so hard before, dude was praying for Red Dawn
+Judge Fredd It probably won't get you if you have an Uze, fully auto. But now Bill keeps talkin about those .22's. That shit might not work before your death!
+Google Sucks Eh... they have a really thick skull. I don't think Uzi will have enough power to penetrate. Shit... you need a special slug for Boar hunting in your hunting rifle!
So many people swear they'll survive when the apocalypse comes that it makes me roll my eyes. I admit that I'd die within the first week, why can't you? The only people who are going to survive are hunters and badass southerners.
+Titan Jaeger HD When I hear people saying that their "plan" is to hole up at a Costco or Walmart my neck gets sore I've shaken it so much. Like that thought hasn't come across every other moron's mind lol.
Even if you could get a hold of a tank or an military assault rifle, you'd need a lot of training, otherwise you'll be more of a danger to yourself and your group than to the walkers... I mean zombies.
Or maybe it's a manifestation of human will. A way of understanding that the apocalypse will never come. Why should you die in the first week? Live by the Lord and be taken justly to him. Don't sleep on Jesus (unless you died haha).
Fun fact about public schools: they would tell kids that if a nuke is inbound, get under your desks and tables. That was not for your protection (obviously) but so they could easily find all of the irradiated corpses.
Bill Doomsday already happened its called work 5 days to get off 2, As Doug Stanhope pointed out, workin 30 years to have $300K in debt, everything going to taxes, interest, utilities, and fast food. The Power Structure creates crises... I don't think they have ever had it better.
Doomsday preppers are actually pretty fuckin' smart and I'll tell you why. If the shit hits the fan it almost certainly won't be forever. If this prepper can survive for a few months to a year civilization might re-assert itself within that amount of time depending on what caused the breakdown in the process. You don't necessarily need to live in that bunker forever, just long enough for the crazy shit to die down.
Bill I love your podcasts and your stand up it literally has me laughing out loud. Genuinely one of the funniest dudes around but for fuck sake where you gettin off on this hunting shit?
I wonder what is required of you, apart from wealth, to buy a fucking minigun along with about 6000 rounds (will last you a full minute of firing). Like, is there a "platinum" gun license you have to acquire? I bet that shit is limited to the military, though :T
CounterNerd if you got the money, you can buy any automatic and own it as long as you pass the background only if the firearm was fabricated before 1986. Good luck though since most of those cost lots of money due to their limited supply. As for ammunition, it depends on the caliber. So getting something like a uzi, mac10/11 would be more ideal with 9mm being at a lower price per round. Some restrictions may apply depending on the state you reside in.
How exactly would hunkering down by yourself in a disaster be a bad thing? Please explain to me what benefit I get from opening my home to complete strangers
The only good odds you'd have in surviving an apocalypse would be to live on a sailboat off shore fishing constantly and coming ashore periodically for fresh water. Unless you were somewhere where a river flowed out and the water didn't mix for a couple miles. The weak point in this is your be a sitting duck put there. But alas, there is no perfect would be plan. However this is the roite I would take. Id rather have good odds of staying fed and MAYBE face a battle than getting malnourished and failing at hunting because all the animals are hunted to extinction. Then getting killed for the junk in my backpack and probably cannibalized. Hunting takes A LOT of energy and there are good odds of turning up empty handed. If anything, the fish population is going to explode during this time as all commercial operations will cease. All I gotta do is cast a line. There's NO WAY youre going to starve to death before you catch something, and the line is doing all the work for you. 308 rifles and shotguns for defense.. (Ive given shtf quite some thought obviously)
I would totally have a flat screen. You could hook an x box or computer to it and power it with a generator, boom! Now I'm the most entertained/chill guy in the apocalypse. I mean I could make an axe with a rock or some shit, a fishing pole with a stick or some shit, fuck I could prolly figure out how to make a single shot gun if I put my mind to it, but I couldn't make a flat screen TV if you put all the parts in front of me.
There is nothing wrong with being prepared for potential disaster. It doesn't mean everyone should be prepared for doomsday. But having what you may need in the event of hurricanes, earthquakes, or social unrest is just smart. I bet alot of people who got stuck on there roofs after hurricane katrina wished they had a plan.
Apparently none of these things need guns to kill people anymore. Now I know why I had a bad feeling about cellphones. Sometimes my intuitions were right.
Wild boar tastes like shit. Hunting in TX, thought they’d taste like pork chops. Way too games. That’s with draining, proper butchering and marinating. Also, you don’t have to worry about missing, as long as you’ve got the right rifle. Carry a side piece. I like to hunt with a group of guys, enjoy some bourbon and cigars back at the cabin.
If the world fucking ends in any way that man will survive it, America will basically be an asylum. On one hand, you'll have these nutjobs and on the other you'll have every-day people thinking they're the invulnerable main character of their own post-apocalyptic movie. Because God only knows that people have watched way too many movies.
@billburr come to southern Oklahoma and we will take you pig hunting! They are way over populated that there isn't even a season for them. Can shoot them anytime you want. They are like rabbits in that they are constantly having litters of little piggies! Hahaha so come on down to southern Oklahoma!!
I think doomsday fetishists is a better label, they're praying it happens because they're so emotionally invested in that scenario. Passive observers of the slow decline who live boring lives and as you say will most likely die of something prosaic like heart disease.
Don't go to "the south" for boar hunting, go to Northern Texas or Southern Oklahoma, and yes Bill the guy below me is right you'd be FUCKED if it got anywhere near you.
I like doomsday preppers, they'll make life better for the rest of us in four easy steps. step 1. Watch them gather stuff step 2. take them out step 3. take their stuff step 4. profit
I don't agree with Bill on this one, though totally respect his view on hunting. Why would you need to know how to hunt, unless maybe the tiny chance being stranded in the wilderness? I know it is very favorite sport in the US, but isn't this "old wild west" thing one of the reasons kids can than go and shoot somebody?
Sure, but in what scenario can you get to a place without a store? Unless it is some unfortunate event you get lost in the wilderness, but you can survive without meat for some time, you need more (clean) water and get to civilization.
You mean like WWIII outcome or something more religious? Either way I don't think anything like this will happen anytime soon, there was a bigger chance of global war during the Cold war than it is now... at least I hope.
It could be for any reason, caused by human or nature. I definitely agree with you that it's not realistic but it's a "what if" game. The show "The Walking Dead" is an example of a doomsday scenario.
