    Reading some of the naysayers comments is evidence of why we are in such a disasterous situation in our country and across the globe now. So many cannot see what is right in front of them. We are a banana republic, we have the most corrupt evil administration ever in DC, as well as in many states and cities. Ignorance and/or denial is rampant among our so many of a certain type in our population. Look to history and you will see many of the same signs before a horrid situation (Germany 1930s for example) occurred. You can also see the ignorance and apathy of the population. It's how the cabal rises to create havoc and so many are harmed as a result. Such a shame people don't learn and don't act. Fear mongering is when you make statements without any evidence to support the belief. If people cannot see the evidence now....well then bless their hearts.

      The people who went through WW2 generally prepare and raise a victory garden. Canned food is a priority for these people. They know and have seen what can happen. This is why people put money away years ago. Go ahead and pretend that preparation isn’t necessary. If you live in a city, you will be in big trouble. It will get ugly in a hurry.

      When I started as a real estate agent the interest rates were 21% and people were borrowing money on their charge cards to make the down payment because interest rates on CC were much lower. We survived that, we survived the housing bubble, and we will survive the aftershock of surviving the pandemic. Panic pushers are part of the problem, not part of the solution. We all need to work together and stop being so hateful and ugly. We have to END the conspiracy theories and lies.

      @@VanmeterFL Unfortunately, it no longer works like that. All the people fleeing broken states (after 20 years of damage from politicians THEY blindly supported) are absolutely wrecking the real estate market. In my part of TX, a 20 year old house under 850 sq ft with NO garage, ancient kitchen that will require a total replacement sells for an average of a pathetic $250-300K. That's despicable. In 2014, it was nowhere near $120K. Forget inflation, it's just gouging. I spend my time fearing I will be homeless one day. $250K is NOTHING in today's world. You have $300K? You're still poor. A crappy Ford F150 sells for an average of $60-65K no matter where I look. The "cheaper" GMC Canyon? $40-50K. I spent over a year searching for an affordable new car and gave up. It's not worth the trouble. I sincerely believe the economy is heading not for a crash but a slow steady drop from which it will not recover for the next 15-20 years.

      The rich Democrats are trying to destroy the middle class. George Soros, and the liberal Democrats want to turn America into South Africa. That is why civil war is what the Democrats are pushing for. The Democrats started America's first civil war in the 1860's when the southern Democrat Plantation owners refused to give up their black slaves. They are doing it again today with liberal policies trying to destroy America. Terms limits and Age limits are what is needed to save this country! Biden being the Poster Child of both!

I have not seen a NEW trailer park open in a long, long time. I'm guessing 10 acres would be fine. I stayed at nice, nice KOA in Clearwater FL and it was there a LONG time and me being a smart ass asked how long did renovations take ? They said about 6 years ! Then, they showed me the pictures of the work they did with the water and sewer lines, crushed seashell driveways, patios. Like I said, it was nice.

    Good words and very true! I retired from the Army in 2010 with three combat deployments. When I saw who was in office, I noticed that this country was being pushed in a different direction. So, we bought land and started homesteading and prepping. At first, my family thought I was paranoid and crazy, but their perspective changed when they saw what we recently went through. People forget so easily.
    I once told someone that Bob from down the street will be a different person after a week without water or food, even more dangerous if he has a family to take care of. Most people are stuck in their cushy world and don’t realize how quickly things can change.

We have so much wide open spaces in Nevada which is fantastic for folks who want to stay away from large populated cities. Nevada is the 7th largest state and only has 1 large metropolitan city with a million and up population.(Vegas) which is at the bottom of the state. Reno has 10,000 foot mountains to the west which is not populated, north east and south of Reno is wide open deserts with very small communities.

After years of record RV sales, now campgrounds are full of people who aren't in love with camping and they have just have poured water on the happy environment in most parks.

    Even though RVers often face storage restrictions, having enough food and dry goods to last at least a year, preferably more, is essential. Freeze dried foods take up little space, are light, can be purchased on sale, weight and often last for decades, of course have other foods, but that is a good way to go, along with growing fresh, even having a few pots of veggies is better than nothing. Getting large amounts of meds to have on hand, can be challenging, but many insurance companies are willing to allow 90 days supply. Also, it is less expensive as far as co-pays to pick-up prescriptions every three months.

    Hey, do what you think you need to do but I've been in a lot of places with actual lawlessness and unrest and most people come out just fine. I had friends in Minneapolis a few years back when there were riots and protests and it was a very small portion of the city. They were never in any danger. The media loves to exaggerate things because it gets a rise out of people to play on their fears. People love to think they've got it tough but we've not experienced anything like the years of the great depression. And in our worst riots we've never come close to descending to the level of crime and lack of respect for life that people in places like Haiti deal with almost daily. November will come and go with some unrest in major cities and when those who benefit from causing trouble have milked it as far as they can it will stop. Preparedness is not a bad thing and who goes on a road trip without being prepared for the unexpected anyway? The idea of hunkering down in an RV park assumes there is safety in numbers which can be true if everyone there has the same ideology and sense of community. But never being in the same place to allow a bad actor time t asses your habits and routines is also a good way to stay safe. But, really, unless you're camped out in downtown San Francisco or D.C. or somewhere like that your chances of being affected by the "unrest" are slim to none. Something tells me if I do my thing and you do yours we'll both still be just fine in the coming months and years. As for the fearful who love to bash everyone who isn't fearful, well, all I can say is I've done all I can actually do to prepare myself and to change situations where I could. After that I can't worry about it anymore. I'll leave the extra worry to you since some of y'all seem to need anxiety to survive.

      I have to disagree with you. I think your thinking a little differently. It is physically impossible for the gvmt to take care of everyone in a major crisis/disaster event, just not possible! So when your friend Joe that lives two houses down hasn't ate in 4 or 5 days and also has a family who hasn't eaten, Joe will no longer be that same buddy from two houses down. Joe is gonna eat and Joe's family is gonna eat so now your either fighting Joe off to preserve you and your own family or Joe's is bringing the hurt and taking all your shit! Joe and his family are gonna eat one way or another! And no one is coming to save you as this will be on a much larger scale than you can imagine! Now that's just one example, I'm sure you can imagine some other examples. If you want proof, all you gotta do is look back at Hurrican Katrina, people were literally on rooftops shooting theifs/trespassers/looters to protect themselves and their interests and the gvmt was nowhere to be found, and this went on for quite awhile!

    I don't know how you two were able to afford to go RVing for a month! I live in my RV, on my parents 5 acres in Ky. It's beat up, needs repair, got mice I can't get rid of and, I have no plumbing. You know what? Other than the mice; I'm pretty content. Doing pretty good. It's harder now that,
    I had to change jobs. Took a big pay cut for workplace peace of mind. I'm still doing okay.

      You need to get you several cats that have been nutered for your mice problem, just feed them very little cat food so that they will eat the mice. When you see your mice problem no longer exists, note whether your cats are losing weight and then feed them more cat food.

      Peppermint oil sprayed around the areas the mice can climb up. I use the water in bucket method- the mice walk up a ramp to get at the peanut butter on a soda can on a wire across the top. They fall into the water.
      Five gallon bucket. 👍

      @Christy.1 5 місяців тому +1

      2nd the peppermint oil. Put some on a cottonball and leave it around all over. mix some of it with some water in a spray bottle and spray it around. Works for squirrels too. Don't use poison, the mice will go off and die and other animals will eat them live or dead, and the poison will kill them too. My neighbor killed off an entire cat colony of the other neighbor, as well as quite a few wildlife critters by putting poison out in his garage. Very cruel way for any animal to die. Try to seal up all holes and entryways inside. Make sure grass and vegetation is kept short around the outside. I used the bucket trick other commenter mentioned, but for catching escaped hamsters, and minus the water obviously. If you're not into killing them, leave the water out and use a lid with hole cut out of top. For plumbing, not sure if any of this helps since you've obviously been staying in it awhile sounds like, look into DIY compost toilets. Plumbing, look around for a water storage tote, expensive new, got a guy down here in TN sells them around 50. for a 250. gallon one. You could easily rig something up so you'd at least have some water running into a sink. Very basic setup wouldn't be difficult-and I'm not very handy :)

    The only issue I have with long term lease stays is these resorts want your RV to be no more than 5 years old, hurricane strapping (the science behind that is all over the place from bent frames etc;) and RV skirting. If there's a hurricane and you have to evacuate you have to break all that stuff down throw it away. Then come back and spend more money constructing it again.

    I think most of us feel that bad things are coming. I agree that preparation and community is important. But I also realize how fear can make me choose safety over trusting God. I missed out on seeing my cousin for the last time, who died of cancer later on because I was worried in 2022 that gas prices would go to $10 a gallon. I regret that decision because it was based on fear. Instead, we spent a miserable summer in Texas with temperatures exceeding 100 degrees on several days, when we could have been in cooler weather, and seeing my cousin. Yes, we should prepare, but God also leads us to where we should be. We plan to keep traveling, but we will be closer to family in November and after. I'm reading through Proverbs right now. Proverbs 16:9 "The mind of man plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps." If God is leading a person to hunker down, then that's what they should do. The important thing is to trust God and let Him lead you.

      @@Holdtheline1 You don't even know what a troll is. You just like to use the term as a general insult when you feel threatened.
      Holdtheline stated his opinion on God and you said nothing. Why can't a non-believer simply state THEIR opinion without insults from the likes of you? Can you explain this double standard to me?

    I’m a precinct committeeman in my legislative district and I’m surrounded by dooms day people. The guy I’ve fought hard for to get on the ballot for mayor had to drop out because of death threats his family was getting.
