Yellowstone is beginning to dome, saw it on a news report when I got home from school today. Lava has gathered to it's largest amount since they started tracking it. Thats not good !!!!! I agree, we need to get back to planning. I'm kinda out of ideas. Pretty much all I had was idea for tournament, to get us all there. And the list of stuff we need to bring and stuff we need at the fortress.
We need more brainstorming.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE JUST NOW SPECULATING AND DISCUSSING PREPERATIONS, MAY I SUGGEST TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOUR BETTER PREPARED BRETHREN. 10TH PLANET SPRINGFIELD HAS A CORE GROUP THAT HAS BEEN PREPARING THE LAST TWO YEARS FOR MANY POSSIBLE SCENARIOS, ALREADY INACTED 12 SITUATIONAL CONTIGENCY PLANS. MY ADVICE. IN THE EVENT OF A GLOBAL DISASTER......GET YOUR ASS TO SPRINGFIELD MISSOURI. ALIENS, ROBOTS ZOMBIES, THE FUCKIN CHINESE, DOESNT MATTER. IF LIFE SURVIVES ON THIS PLANET, 10TH PLANET SPRINGFIELD WILL NEVER BE TAKEN.
this thread has promted me to extend an invite top the rest of our 10th planet brethren. I am undertaking a documentry to explain our contingency plans, and why we hold the utmost confidence for it. it will be ready by feb 1st. If a disaster occures before then, youll just have to trust me and get your ass to springfield. even if communications are down, you get here and we will find you. ill be posting the vid feb 1st.
Do you think we have goverment agencies watching this thread? lol.
I'm down! Let's do this! I got enough sticks,knives, and adobo to supply the country of the Philippines!
only problem with Missouri is i think they'd shoot a pinko liberal freak like me on site...i'll take my chances with the Chinese, at least i know i'll get good food if they takeover :)
One of the beauties of 10th Planet, or JJ in general is it seems to attract a lot of military, or ex military. I know that me spending 8 years as a combat medic will definitely help.
You have to think of places that the government is going to want to protect and keep to themselves. Currency will be worthless, so what are they going to covet? Gold? Oil? Natural Gas? I know Colorado is rich with oil and natural gas, so am not sure if its the best choice.
I personally grew up in the mountains in northern Az and know my way around there pretty damn well. There are old mine shafts, fresh water streams and lakes and limited access and regress.
The more people you gather in one place the more likely you are to attract unwanted attention and aggression.
Maybe we should all meet up at the closest moon then travel to Denver together. If that ends up being our final destination. I know Springfield is only about 3 hours from me and I would feel a lot safer trying to make it to denver with as many people as possible. Strength in numbers
You guys all have great plans. I am fucked out here. Asteroid hits the ocean, tidal wave, islands gone. any other disaster, I am cut off, stuck out here playing Tom Hanks in cast away. Owe my tooth.
Hmmm, maybe MO, huh?Quote:

Prolly, especially with all the pics of machine guns, haha! I hope they know that we're uniting to survive not to attack the government, only a group of idiots would think they can battle the machine :)Quote:

In case of Global Disaster, we're all going to Amsterdam and getting baked
Could someone sticky this, I'm trying to get my gear all togeather, would make it easier.
Well you guys can have your plan but count me out. I'm going to overdose on some big dick pills smoke up to the point of retardation and walk the US like David Caradine in Kung Fu. Meaning I will pretend to be Asian and fight super fucking slow.
In case of an inevitably impending global catastrophe; after much deliberation and careful planning, and in collaboration with renowned experts in this field, I have devised a full proof plan for our guaranteed collective survival. PAY ATTENTION DAMMIT, THIS IS IMPORTANT, AND COULD VERY WELL SAVE YOUR LIVES:
Step 1: Find a cave
Step 2: Bring hot bitches
Step 3: ????
Step 4: Profit
Adobo is the key to our future, I'd rather die then live in a tasteless post-apocalyptic world! And sofrito, lots of sofrito. Kanedaaaaaaa!Quote:

CANAAADDAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Doesnt Springfeild have a Nuclear Power Plant near by. I'd hate to be around if that bitch blows during a disaster....
HEY!!!! Let's keep this going. Our lives depend on this thread. Eddie great idea for a paypal. Plus if it fails we can use the proceeds for another cruise. Conner your a fuckin beast man, I will take bullets for you post-apocalypse. I just want to point out that if we decide on denver we have to have a plan if we meet resistance when we get there. I feel like a war might happen considering its prime territory. If it does, our strength in numbers and well organized plan may allow us to negotiate a treaty without using violence. oh and I vote Compella as head of agriculture. We need the best chronic we can grow. I will happily organize a team of experienced canadian growers to be your subordinates.
I don't know if organized army is what we really will be facing. Remember if we face an end like we think is comming, the military are in the same boat as us. I think it will be real hard for them to pull the trigger on there own countryman. Those soldiers will be losing family members and locked out of those high roller strong holds just like us. It will be hard to convince them to protect a group of people while there own familys are dieing.
I think if we face conflict it is more likely from other roving groups like us. Doing anything to survive. yah thats right I'm talking about people willing to eat us again.LOL.
We need to be organized, prepared and willing to do what it takes to make sure our band of brothers face these groups eye to eye, and sends them running to the hills, with empty bellies.
damn i don't want somebody to eat me, lol, YAMATO DAMASHI bitch, going out on my 10th planet shield, smoke blunt in my honorQuote:

If (when) it blows 2 third's of the country will be unlivable!
What about
forced vacinations
Gun grabbing
kill switch of the inernet
collaspe of the US dollar and no longer world reserve currency (Can't just keep printing money)
Fema camps and police state
Wide spread famine/food shortage
what the plan for that?
As far as communication goes-cell towers will be out, so the best is old-school short wave Radios. With 10th Planet clans coast to coast and inter-continental, it would have to be a relay system of communication. Short waves are not dependant upon cell towers or wires, and good ones have a decent range. We'd have to agree on the frequency to use and some alternates in case.
Beyond that, simple firearms such as shotguns, pistols, and others would be required. A good stock of rations. Non-perishable food items that are easily stored. Some seeds and grains stored to re-grow. First aid/anti-biotics, and blades. Those of use with edged weapon training would have a bit of an advantage over those who don't. Warm and climate-appropriate clothing, bullet proof vests, boots, fuel stores for cars, and at least one all or four wheel drive car.
Well Wherever we go everybody needs to bring their mats so we can have one HUGE mat for us to all roll on
You guys are blowing my mind with this shit, I have been saying it for years. Being prepared for everything is the way to go. I would follow my teammates and fellow warriors into battle whatever the situation may be. The way to get everyone together is to have multiple locations to meet up at over multiple days with the final destination being home base. The gyms within 4 hours of each other will meet up at one spot on day X. Then they travel together to meet up with the other group of gyms a few days later at another location. Then proceed on together to meet up with more and more warriors until we are at the final destination...the middle of Alaska!
Will someone please remember to bring a lighter
So Denver it is?
You need to get one of those ham radio operators license (super easy) and a radio,that way you can still communicate. Dude me and my grandpa talked to the astronauts when I was a kid 22 years ago.Damn I am getting old.Guess it better late than never to start JJ.
Plus you gots to come back to St. Paul 10th planet cuz this is the last place those Damn aliens will come to.
go to a radio station and broadcast to the world where you are and say you have a bunch of food and when they show up shoot them with your tranquilizers that you filled up with laxitive so they all have massive diarrhea and ride their river of shit to disneyland where we will fuck mickey mouse and shit out rainbows.
I know this is almost a necro as far as threads go but I actually just thinking of this the other day. I know alot of you might be central and western America but what do you guys think about the east coast? I am not one for conspiracy theories. I guess I was part of the *system* when I was in the military and I just did what I was told. Anyways before I go off ranting you guys should come to maybe PA or a state near the east coast. I personally know of some places where we could stockpile a fuck ton of essential food and weapons. I may not be some MMA or any kind of martial art expert but I do know the simpler things in life...... mainly how to make a big fucking explosion and shoot like I am some kind of call of duty real life incarnate. I have seen mass hysteria to some degree while serving overseas and I can tell you this, people will be doing exactly what you think they are going to do. People in their chaos follow the simplest things to survive. Why become lemmings among lemmings? PA or some place near the north east will be barren come any kind of disaster that might cripple our country. People are going to head west and south. I know some good places we could set up a clan of some sort and be able to basically disappear. I mean sure it sucks during the winter but with the way(hopefully they don't change) seasons are and the location we would be set for clean water and food. We would be able to utilize certain dog breeds to help us establish control and allow us to begin our little colony. I mean how bad ass would it be to have fully trained akitas running around? Its relatively close to some amish people who obviously know how to live without modern shit.(Amish women are banging gentlemen trust me on this) We would have access to some ballin lakes and rivers and mountains to allow for us to control wide areas of the surrounding country. We would be able to control pretty much every type of land we would need to survive. I know of at least 2 partially de-activated military *dump* sites where we can find radios and guns. I am sure some people are going to have the same plan and they can either join us or hope to god they can shoot better then me(nope not happening.) The biggest thing about here is the amount of resources we could acquire within a short amount of time. I personally have a decent gun collection and I am not talking some 30-30 you bought from bubba. I have some stuff the military plays with. I know of a decent amount of ex rangers and even a few black ops guys who are from around here that would take care of the military aspect of this *clan*. Most of you have dedicated yourself to MMA and Jiu Jitsu and that alone proves you can be trained. God I am kinda blitzed right now but once I am sober I will write up a more concrete plan. Hell I might even make a power point. Now off to bed before my wife fucks me up for getting all worked up over this.
On a side note how the hell does a 5 month pregnant 25 year old woman learn a few moves just from me watching like 2 videos on here? Jesus I need to learn how to get out of some of this shit. Never been arm barred by a woman before. I need to find the nearest school just to live past the second trimester.
Outside of being a combat medic currently, I’ve served 3 tours in OIF. The first deployment I served as a Combat Engineer and the other two as a Combat Medic. (Demolitions expert w/ the power to heal lol) I’ve gone through numerous schools, including; SERE (Survival Evasion Resistance and Escape), LRM (Long range marksmanship course – polite term for sniper school), and AOEMS (Advanced Operational Emergency Medical Skill Course – Think 18D [special forces medic]Mod 2). I'm also a civ paramedic and hold a BS in Kinesiology.
Everyone is thinking about materialistic preparations. I was gonna add some things that get over looked a lot. A soldier going to selection asked about some preparation tips. The more I thought, the more I remembered. I began to realize that some of this was in the category of “Lost Knowledge” in the sense that many younger soldiers and leaders haven’t been taught this stuff. Below are some thoughts, collected over the years.
BOOTS AND FITTING THEREOF:
Go barefoot as much as possible to toughen the feet. I also found that soaking my feet in Epson Salt toughened them as well. I’m a huge advocate of the Vibram 5 finger toe shoes. Ditch the cushy insoles. This has to do with sense organs in the feet known as proprioceptors. (Beyond the scope of this paper. Look it up.) Getting rid of soft insoles reduces fatigue and improves balance. I almost sure cushy insoles are the reason most soldiers move with the grace of a pregnant giraffe in a wind tunnel. They also contribute to knee and ankle injuries.
Try to find lightweight boots. An old ultra-light hiker adage goes that a pound on the foot equals five pounds on the back. Desert or Jungle Boots are best.
Buy Gold Bond (mentholated is my favorite) powder. Works on all body parts, fights heat rash, cools, and soothes. Generic equivalent is great as it is about $3/bottle cheaper. Use, everywhere, especially the feet.
Pre cut moleskin in various sizes, taking care to round the corners. I usually keep about 10 pieces, ranging in size from a fifty cent piece to as large as a playing card. Get some tincture of benzoin to stick it down. Add triple antibiotic ointment for the ones that pop. If you get a blister, drain with a sterile needle, then protect as follows: Paint the area with benzoin. While waiting for it to dry, cut a donut of moleskin with the hole large enough to surround the blister. Save the donut hole. Stick the donut around the blister, then apply a dab triple antibiotic ointment to the PAPER side of the donut hole. DO NOT remove the backing from the moleskin on the donut hole. Place the hole, paper side down over the blister and cover with another layer of moleskin. Powder and get dressed. You can leave this in place up to 48 hours, BUT NO LONGER. When you remove it, peel up a corner and gently roll it up. This prevents tearing off new skin with old. Trust me.
Prevention, as always, is the best medicine. Use Moleskin at the first sign of a hot spot. Even 100mph tape (duct tape) will work if you round the corners.
Make sure to keep calluses dressed and under control. Getting a blister under a callus and then pulling off a slab of meat with your sock is one of those events you’d rather watch than experience.
Keep this whole mess in a zip lock bag (to keep it watertight).
HEAT INJURIES AND ELECTROLYTE BALANCE
Keep hydrated, and maintain salt balance. Don’t worry about high blood pressure. Less than 3% of the population is salt sensitive and even if you are, that’s a problem for a later date. Heat stroke will kill you today. Gatorade is not a replacement for salt and water. Their “electrolyte content” is measured in milligrams. The normal amount of sodium and potassium are measured in mEq (milli-equivalent). Which means for every 25mg of NA and K you ingest with Gatorade, you only get = 1 mEq of actual value. Your blood contains 135 to 145 milli-equivalents per liter of salt. This means you’d hafta ingest twenty 8 oz servings of Gatorade to replace your normal salt content. This also means you’re ingesting 280 GRAMS of sugar. Diarrhea will be your worst nightmare. Tastes like ass but remember that a good rule of thumb (and great for a hasty IV) is using 9 grams of salt / Liter of water.
BODY MAINTENANCE
Dial soap and Noxzema were developed in WW II for soldier hygiene. Dial is anti bacterial. Noxzema allows you to shave without water while it conditions the skin. Makes cleaning your razor easier, removes camo, prevents dry skin, etc. The advent of anti bacterial baby wipes makes Dial less useful for the field, but it’s still good to keep around. You can normally obtain "pack" sized bars of Dial soap whenever you stay at a chain Motel.
Use waterless hand cleaner for quick clean ups. Carry it in your pocket so you won’t be tempted to skip using it.
A small bottle of alcohol or peroxide is useful for disinfecting your toothbrush.
Use insect repellent. Every day. West Nile, malaria, etc. will kill you just as dead as bullets.
GORE TEX
Gore Tex gear is a waterproof and windproof shell. Complaints about it being cold can generally be traced to no insulating layer (long johns). The other cause is constricting clothing.
FIRST AID KITS
I usually keep Alka Seltzer Cold Formula, Benadryl, cough lozenges, pain pills for OTC medications. I keep Loperamide (Imodium) also, but am generally against this as an issue item unless you have a lot of field medicine experience. I have seen it stop people up so tight that parasites were forced into their bloodstream. Better for general issue is Pepto Bismol tablets or Kaopectate.
SLEEP QUALITY
At a bare minimum, you need to get four (4) hours of uninterrupted sleep for every 24 hours to maintain continuous operations. Six to eight hours is normally a luxury, but take it if you can. Cat nap every chance you get; 15-30 minutes can carry a long way.
Get a good quality traveler’s blindfold. They’ll be the best 5-10 bucks you’ll ever spend. Use earplugs also.
Two ponchos, one above the other, will lower the temperature drastically if forced to sleep in the sun.
Take 5 minutes to prepare your bed. Remove rocks, clumps, etc. An old saying is “One minute spent preparing your bed is equal to one hour’s sleep” is true. Keep clutter in your pockets to a minimum. Dig out a small hollow for your butt. (Or a large hollow if necessary) In cold weather, always put something between you and the ground. The bare ground acts as a heat absorber. As the night progresses, it will rob you of body heat. It pays to thatch a bed of pine needles or leaves together to add insulation between you and the ground. If you can carry one, take a thermal casualty blanket (aluminum on one side, green on the other) with you. Fold the blanket in half, (aluminum inside, green outside) and lay your bedroll on top. The Aluminum will help reflect body heat back up to you.
If it’s cold, eat some carbs and cover your head with a WOOL knit cap. Do about 5 minutes of brisk calisthenics. Do a quick set of stretches (full body) and off to bed. Keep your face outside the bag to keep the inside from getting wet.
Don't wear your boots to bed. If you must keep them on, untie and loosen the laces all the way down the boot to allow your feet to breathe. If it is cold outside, tuck your boots away in the bottom of your sleeping bag to keep them warm. Check boots for hitchhikers in the morning.
And of course, I saved the best part for last.
MENTAL HYGIENE
The “tangibles” (hits on target, rounds expended, etc.) are easy to see. The “intangibles” (confidence in self and leaders, aggression, etc.) can be seen but not measured. Both are important.
Combat: This is why you’re here. Always keep in mind you are in the best-equipped, most lethal Army in existence. This is probably the last reason you should be optimistic. The main reason? You’re leading Americans, the most dangerous combatants ever to hit the field. Some guy once said that Americans like shooting people so much when we don’t have a declared enemy, we shoot one another to stay in practice. He’s not far wrong….
The other reason to be encouraged is that you are the latest in a long line of warriors. There have been ups and downs in leadership and we’re going to have more before it’s over. But, on the whole, Americans have always done well. Take heart that many before you have done their duty, even to their end and have done it well. You will be no different. If you ever wonder where you should be and what you should be doing, go to the hottest part of the fight and set an example.
PS
Dibs on Kevin's team. I'll be his combat medic!
in caseo global disaster? well my plan is summed up in one word...........Fap
Washington dc!!! Their we will have the pentagon the white house and the most protection in the country
It is also above sea level ;)
