Fozzy The Bear posted:Green onions are the easiest thing ever dude. I've already harvested 20 lbs of garlic, 100+ lbs of tomatoes (40lbs went into jars as sauce), endless kale and chard. Just growing in 570 square feet too. I'd say it's not just water, but redundancy in general. We've had a garden every year for around a decade. We grow so much food at this point that trips to the grocery store in the summer and spring are really just a luxury. We also got wrecked (for the first time ever!) by deer this year, despite our garden being locked up like fort knox. Who cares, no big deal, time to get the fall garden in, but it'd be a huge loving deal if we were specifically growing food to feed ourselves instead of as as a fun hobby. Growing, building, and maintaining things are useful skills to a community, but without that community, you're always one bad break away from being hosed. People who obsess over their amazing survival skills rarely understand how deeply they're benefitting from society's existing support systems. This criticism doesn't apply if you're already a mountain man who's been living off the grid for the past twenty years, but lmao to everyone else.

i'm not going to be like all those farmers who suffered under droughts and kings and warlords and weather and sickness and emperors and gods and priests throughout history. unlike them, i know all about the upcoming biosphere collapse, which to date, has been easily measured and meeting all expectations. i'll be fine. the dust bowl? holodomor? yellow river floods? lol. unlike these people, i'm smart. i will easily survive off the raw, plastic riddled land, with its total lack of topsoil. plus, like, i own a gun. what are they going to do? shoot me? yeah I live like 10 miles outside of seattle so I think when the Great Famine comes, those people will probably die off before they manage to walk to my homestead. hell, thats more than ive ever walked in a day.

Emojis and emphasis added for accuracy. Genuinely curious, why do you want to survive? A sense of both determination to and certainty that you will survive seems to be your cope, and that's fine. We all have our brains broken by this somehow. Personally I just find the prospect of survival really fuckin' unappealing! What do you like about it?

Samuel Glompers posted:You got a weird attitude, fella. Emojis and emphasis added for accuracy. Your emoji are all off by a lot, and that accusation of being weird sure feels like projection. I don't like surviving, in fact, I don't really like surviving what I'm going through now. But I'm quite good at surviving things I don't enjoy surviving, and have to enjoy the things I enjoy instead. Which are not common now, so being reduced to a subsistence lifestyle sounds like a solid sidegrade. Sorry, but my reaction to "it's all meaningless" has been "so there's no reason I should hold myself back". You can despair for both of us, I'm sure you're up for the challenge.

Paradoxish posted:I'd say it's not just water, but redundancy in general. I'm not so sure the mountain men make it either. Sure, there's the hope that collapse happens instantly enough that cars become a nonissue, but if gasoline and such become less available over even a few months they'll face a wave of tens to hundreds of thousands of wannabe mountain men and I'm not sure that their habitat survives that one.

For me it was holding back on certain indulgences I find destructive, and since I let go of that I have been enjoying plastic wrap and paper towels a great deal, along with all matter of partying at the end of the world. Ofc the end of the world still makes me sad sometimes. It's sad to see mass genocide of life! I really, truly am curious why you want to survive - just more love of life than most? It's baffling to me bc I see nothing to live for there other than morbid curiosity, and personally I'll pass on that. If you wanna face the question and answer earnestly, I'm all ears. Doomsday attitude is interesting to me. I'm sorry to hear about the rough poo poo you're surviving now fellow doom poster, and I wish you success in your survivalist efforts

Whatever you need to get by man, like I said we're all cracked here Honestly, leading with inaccurately attributing tone to someone for emphasis is a bold move, shame you don't have the chops to pull it off. The entire question is wrong, and the only possible answer is "mu". I don't have to love life to keep surviving, all I got to do is not die, and nobody can keep that up forever, so I'll get around to dying when I can find a moment. It can wait, until it can't, and then I'll be insensate and beyond the capacity to care. I'm not tough enough to survive forever, frankly it's a miracle and a half I'm around now, but I know I won't lie down and die either. But I also grew up among a culture consisting entirely of weirdoes who didn't like other people and were preparing for the day society collapses, so I'm rather over taking all the doom and gloom seriously. To be fair to my culture it wasn't that way before WW2 and being driven out of our home.

People don't need to rationalise their will to survive you loving weirdo, it's like the single most ingrained instinct in any life form. E) anyway the answer to "what's going to eat you alive" is probably mosquitos for lots of us.

Evil_Greven posted:collapses are, implicitly, not slow depends how you define your terms. like there's the concept of catabolic collapse... where crises force a given society to shed some portion of its infrastructure, governing culture or whole sectors of its economy as unsustainable. But when that happens, it frees up resources for more productive uses, resulting in a new stability or even partial recovery. at least until the next crisis. seen from the perspective of history, we just call this a collapse. but for those who live it, it's more of stairstep sequence of decline where each downward slide sheds untold numbers of people into poverty and immiseration. in the U.S. this poo poo started in the 70s. climate induced catastrophe of the sort discussed itt certainly seems like it would accelerate this process, but overnight collapse is largely the stuff of fiction... really a form of wish fulfillment. except I guess on a local scale. if your house in Eastern Kentucky got swept away in a flood of rain and coal slurry that probably seemed pretty collapsey.

Radical 90s Wizard posted:People don't need to rationalise their will to survive you loving weirdo, it's like the single most ingrained instinct in any life form. I don't really agree, I think most people rationalize their desire to live on some level or another after grappling with a search for meaning and purpose in life, and that the biosphere collapse short circuits a lot of those rationales that people would otherwise never examine too closely. There is a reason the thread policy is that you should not kill yourself. I'm also clearly not alone in not wanting to trudge on in the doom, plenty of posts about planned or existing drug hoards and booze hoards for whenever things get too grim. Survivalist mindset is sincerely interesting to me, I'd love to hear a biosphere collapse prepper wax philosophical about the whole thing

So is the idea that the idea of making out a living wouldn't be possible when the global and local infrastructure collapses? Starvation doesn't sound that fun ngl.
