Tortoise is a good shout. Saves you having to buy body armour for the donkeys.
They aren't mutant ninja tortoises FFS!
I mean... how many normal-size tortoises are you going to need to produce just ONE donkey-sized suit of body armour?
You don't use normal sized tortoises to armour a donkey. You use the giant ones. Duh. You use the small ones as helmets.
Armadillos are the answer.
It's well known that preppers favour the armadillo.

Why? Surely you can't be suggesting that armadillo's would be better? Their armour might be more flexible but it's a lot thinner.
No im suggesting that talking about trying to armour a donkey by using other animals is stupid.

On the contrary, I'd say it's infinitely more sensible then what most preppers get up to of a weekend, tooling up for the apocalypse.

Besides this all came from DA's extremely sensible point that if one wants to have a ready, fresh, ongoing supply of food, then the best thing rather than hiding thousands of tins of mormon soup is to do what people have been doing for at least 12,000 years and get some domestic grazing animals.

But that's not as much fun as buying guns, camo gear, army rations and putting on face paint for your 'bug out drill'.

I admit his idea of covering the poor donkeys in armour and shgging them was a bit left of field. But his core idea was correct.

My (normal sized) tortoise has a very worried look on his face.

Not sure why, based on this thread he has more tactical value then the kids who will just be another mouth to feed. Unless we treat them as a food animal.

I assumed he was the British guy that tried to whack Trump, for being a damn liberal.

I had no idea, so Mormons aren't allowed to drink soup because it's a hot liquid? Aha I say, what about a nice bowl of Mormon Gazpacho!

No intention to be harsh, if I pffended anyone then I'm sorry. It was simply a little tongue in cheek. If you do wish to keep food aside for bad weather, power failure or a car breakdown, and there's nothing wrong with that if you live in a rural area, then the strategy is what i wrote in the first paragraph. This doesn't cost anything other than having to buy stocks and store them, and there's no waste if you rotate your stocks and manage things such that you eat bags of pasta (say) at 6 months old and replace them as they are consumed.
My bad, sorry about that! The lack of smileys led me to believe you were being serious is all thumbup

Where is our defender of the free world hero veteran?

In a hole in the ground covered in cougar piss?

In his mums bedroom in the bleak wilds of the north?

Actually, both of those options are likely in the north smile

Maybe he's been sectioned.

Or his wife called, as the fish fingers and chips were ready.

Maybe his CIA handlers contacted him to tell him to go back under deep cover. He'd said too much already.

( or possibly his GCSE exam revision week has ended and he's back at school? )
