Well I follow the brightly coloured dont give a damn principle, basically we all die whatever we do and lifes to short to give a damn about people watching you

If you assume that you are always being watched, you can't go wrong.

No

Don't think I could ever cross that line, but that's just my personal view.

Just don't eat the brains.
As a side note did you know that most animals have just enough brain to tan their own hide with?

At other websites, this sort of thread about survivalists would inevitably degenerate into an abusive flame war, with everybody screaming and threatening everybody else, or boasting about how big their weapons and impenetrable their defenses are (bit of Freud anyone?).

But the great thing about Powerswitch is that here such threads tend to turn into something which reads like a script from Monty Python!

Most of us are too busy digging our bunkers to argue on the internetz.

I would so LOVE to see the (remaining) Pythons take on Peak Oil!

CLEESE: (as reporter) I'm here at CERA, talking with Daniel Yer...

IDLE (as Yergin): Are not. Your mother dresses you funnily and besides, there is plenty of oil! (points off) Look, there goes some now!

CLEESE: (head whips around) REally? where? I don't...

IDLE: It all, um, oozed under that rock.

CLEESE: I don't, um...

IDLE: Don't worry, the Saudi Arabians will find it, they're really quite brilliant at that sort of thing.

CUT TO: Vikings storming a petrol station in Knightsbridge...

No one expects the peak oil inquisition!
