What are you going to miss most when SHTF?
« on: August 28, 2011, 08:30:23 PM »
What's your list look like, and are you considering prepping additional comfort items, even if those too will run out someday?  Besides security, peace, medicine, here is my top list of things I will sincerely miss when shit hits the fan...

1.  Cigarettes... I'm prepping some nicotine gum for sure.

2.  The internet...  seriously, don't film the apocalypse to put on youtube.  No more youtube when SHTF.

3.  My 1986 Bronco 2...  no gas, no roads, no where to go  :(

4.  Condoms. 

5.  Pizza.  i don't want to be negative, but I'm pretty sure good pizza is gonna be hard to come by in WROL.

I'm going to miss Comms.

The only person that I talk to on the phone lives in NY & if he cant make it to my BOL then that's it. That's all she wrote, for a nice how are you doing conversation with my father.  :(

Granted I learned everything I know from him, so I know he'll probably survive... but still doesn't mean I don't want to chat every now and again.

Toilet paper, sooner or later we will all be shakin with our right hands only.

On a serious note I would have to agree with Reaver, not being able to talk to friends and family just to say hello , or to know that everyone is still kicking would be extremely difficult, I'm literally hundreds of miles from my family, not looking forward to it.

Unless I have time to bug out north to my prefered BOL I'll be missing my grandparents and my oldest cousin. They're like parents and he's like a brother to me. I'll miss going for a drive through the mountains in fall. Probably miss going to my favorite restaurants in Charleston, S.C. too. I'll miss talking to some of the folks I've met online. Yeah, even a few of you guys. Other than that I don't think I'll miss to much.  :-\

by far the worst thing for me like others have said will be not being able to talk with family and friends to see how they are doing... the "they could still be alive" is going to fucking haunt me.

Hey I didn't mean to bum anyone out!  Let's celebrate these things.

I'm gonna start by drinking a micro brew I bought at the cornerstore while taking a hot shower in my families car.

I think I'm gonna miss the Internet and A/C the most, heating isn't really a problem for me but cooling is.
I'm also going to miss quick communication capabilities such as texting, email, and my cell(its good to have if my wife of mom runs off in the store)
Also everything that we take for granted right now is going to be missed but we all can still make a life without running water and electricity, it's gonna be tough but but hey we are preppers and our job is to thrive when and where others cannot.
When you look death in the eyes one too many times, the fast pace of life and the little things that you thought were important aren't really that big a deal.

mtn, I'm sorry I'm so late on this response but I never really paid this thread much attention.

man, I think that maybe a WROL situation (long-term/permanent WROL) may be the best time to continue your legacy. it would be the most difficult time to do it, that's for sure, but I've talked with you privately about your family's history.... don't you want to continue that legacy? someone needs to carry the Redneck name.
you know so much about your grandfather/great grandfather and so on... dude, having kids is only a scary prospect until you actually have one, then it's just a pain in the ass... lol. but I'm serious here, it truly pains me to here you say shit like this.

Real good point. whats the point in preping if not to provide a future? and what future can there be with out children? SHA-LA-LA We are the world... Oopps got carried away there. But still

  Toilet paper, cold anything after mid-late June, pizza, relatively safe sex, cold beer, whiskey, chocolate, internet, internet porn, you guys, and as odd as it is I might even miss liberal's bullshit after month six... And thank you TCS for mentioning peach rings, I haven't had those in years. I'm gonna pick some up tomorrow.

  As far as having kids in SHTF, no I wouldn't dream of starting a family until things settle down. Remember guys, it's not literally the end of the world. Life needs to and will go on. You're going to get old and weak one day and you'll need those kids to provide for the community. Most of you say there's no way in hell you'll have kid's in SHTF but weather by choice or by accident eventually you'll have them.

long hot bubble baths...
shaving my legs and pits... going to be some hairy homely looking women running around
evenings spent sitting on my front porch with a glass of wine listening to the frogs and crickets
snuggling with my little girls on our movie night
triple venti white chocolate mocha
oreos
my kids being able to be kids

I wont miss:
laundry
my cable bill
cutting the grass
sitting in traffic
Nancy Grace
