Survivalist scenario, your preferred OffTopic denizen(s)

Postby AndyDufresne on Mon Jun 23, 2014 7:35 pm

So, randomly I was searching google for some information about dog breeds, and then I stumbled across an old forum board where people were talking about the best dogs to have in survivalist scenario: http://www.homesteadingtoday.com/specia ... vival.html

Naturally, I made the leap from dog to OffTopic denizen, and thought it deserved its own poll. I'll let you decide if particular denizens are suited better or worse for specific types of scenarios (you come up with the scenarios if you wish).

Answer as ye may. And feel free to change your vote as people make excellent cases for and against your preferred denizens.

Most of those listed will end up in the "Have Not" category.....I will be a "Have"..... :twisted:

The clear pick is Nietxzkye.....he's adept at water management as well as all sorts of other handy traits....plus he's a decent human being which is a damn big plus :lol:

I'd also shack up with Dimey any day ;)

ps - you should all be picking U-Quacko....he's done gots God on his side.....

Not a huge fan of the topic, but I do have to commend you on alphabetizing the the poll. That takes real commitment.

I picked based on geographical location and likability.

My "other" selection was based on who would be most likely to have berries, ammo and lower back support belts.

Not sure how I'm going to get around. Suppose I would have to get off my ass and make some practical Besler brothers type machines. Since fuel for big block Chevys would likely run out/go stale pretty quick.

Robert A. Heinlein wrote:ā€œA human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.ā€

Of the tasks on the proverbial Heinlein list, I have never conned a ship, and I have not yet died gallantly. All of the others I have performed. Well, my sonnet sucked pretty god-awfully, but other that that I think I did most of them fairly well.

Dispatching snow plows is, in my estimation, not far off in the skills required from conning a ship, so I think I would do pretty well at that one.

I'm probably one of very few people here who has participated in every step of bringing bacon to the table: tending little piglets, cutting the balls off the males, raising them to adulthood, managing adult pigs, bringing them to the place of execution, facing up to reality and agreeing to perform the dirty deed despite my affinity for the pigs, shouldering that heavy bitch of a Lee-Enfield (I think I was 14 the first time. Man that fucking Lee-Enfield was heavy!) sighting accurately through the tears, cleaning and dismembering the pigs, butchering, slicing meat, making sausages, tying bacon, building the smokehouse, scouring the bush for wood for the smokehouse, camping beside the smokehouse for five days and waking up every two hours to check the temperature, and making delicious meals from the finished product.

Those who didn't vote for me will have plenty of time to regret that as they alternate between being 'top' and 'bottom'.

Hey, those things had a great record for dealing with humans, and humans are similar to pigs in many ways!

One time we had a friend come over at slaughter time. He had a new 9mm handgun of some kind, was all proud of the thing and thought he was all cool shit. Wanted to use the 9mm to kill the pig. My father thought it was a bad idea, but this guy kept insisting and cajoling and talking about how powerful his gun was. In the end my father gave in despite his better judgement.

The first shot was point blank, perfectly aimed, right behind the ear. No way he could miss, but somehow it didn't penetrate. The pig grunted but kept eating his honey oats. (Our pigs always had a final meal of honey oats to keep them calm.) The second shot, same place, pig started screaming and running around but still didn't drop. Charged around, screaming like hell and biting people, while the guy fired a couple more shots from various angles. After what was probably only thirty seconds but seemed like an hour, the pig finally dropped, mortally wounded but still not dead. The guy walked up and emptied the rest of his clip into him.

It was truly a horrible sight and one that I hope I never see again. After that we never used anything except the long gun.

What about Kenneth Pirtle? He seems to have everything he needs for any eventuality, including raving Islamists in Wal-Mart.

I'm calling bullshit on that. I would destroy you in basketball, shorty. You are pretty sexy, though.

I would shoot you both before you guys would hit the court. Then I would dunk over your wounded bodies. That's what you get for not picking me.

:roll:
Everyone knows how to make gunpowder. 6 parts charcoal, 1 part saltpeter, 1 part sulfur. It's common knowledge, something everyone by the time they are 16 should already know. You can even play around with those proportions if you like, to get better or different results. Basically just take a bunch of charcoal, mix in a little bit of saltpeter and sulfur and it'll burn nicely. Enclose that mixture in a confined space and you'll get a nice bang which will propel anything that is in front or around it. Even materials not strong enough to withstand the forces of combusting gunpowder is useful enough just to make bombs. Ammunition for projectiles can be almost anything, lead works, so does iron, nails, ball bearings, rocks, even glass. Ammunition can be found laying around virtually everywhere.

I picked 3:

1. Phatscotty: If he's as fat as his name suggests he provides a good distraction meal for whatever might try to eat us. Plus he seems like he has probably studied up on hunting and other survival tactics.

2/3. AoG & Warmonger-If they are as well armed as their names suggest, I could use them to fend off those threats.

I probably should pick another hunter & gatherer person.

Edit: Actually Jonesy too. I could use some British humor to fend off boredom and depression.
