Any plans for the coming lock downs?

I have been studying Gold...

How to find Gold...

How to use Gold mining tools.

Metal detecting Gold

Geology courses and have invested 500 dollars in equipment.

I have found flour Gold..so fine it takes a Gold concentrater to separate black sand fom the Flour Gold.

Already prepped on food water since 2015...masks nbc gear camper etc..etc..

From a “senior citizen” in the American Southwest: I have been building up a stash of books for years. I’ve had to move several times and each time, I had to part with lots of books. I’ve been half-heartedly “prepping” since maybe 2006. At various times I’ve had some great supplies, like a Birkey water filter, lots of canned goods, duct tape and tarps! And I dont even camp but I had some camping shit too. Then in the middle of all this covid crap I got old. Got my priorities straight. Got into a practical living arrangement with blankets, flashlights, lots of food and toilet paper. Got internet and my stash of books. I even have a large stash of art supplies! If “living well is the best revenge” then I am WINNING. I sometimes get lonely because I live in a ghoul town though. Full of light-sucking fleshbags... But I can get around and I also have COFFEE. Yahoo. I intend to WALK INTO my polling place on election day and vote properly. I will wear my cowgirl boots that day, you bet. You know who I’m voting for. I know both sides are corrupt but I’m not a weetard douche.

Oh wow thats lucky!!
Must feel safe

LOL yea all of those things arnt related to Covid lockdowns.

depends on what you use to pack those bucket bongs.
i remember in february they announced coffee shops would be closing (the same day they would close LOL) and it caused for MASSIVE lines at the coffeeshops.
Then a few days later they opened them again since it was basically like a necessity hahaha
you just couldnt go inside to smoke anymore. buy and leave only

Whether we need it or not. Its cool to have this like a test-cycle for a SHTF scenario imo :)

i even bought 4 10 mile walkie talkies to talk with my friends just for LARP pretty much. but hey im a grown child so why not.
what i thought sucked is that most 4 packs come with 1 loading station, which isnt useful if you dont live together.

I like how you know how to find things, screenshot them and upload them to imgur to post here (awesome!!)
but why do you make a screenshot instead of saving the actual picture?

also that guy is a creep lol

I do feel safe, I did a ton of searching and found the right house in the right town, and bought it a year ago, I even have a 30k gallon indoor pool if the water goes out totally.

Thats a tripple win! Fresh air, physical action and gold!

There shouldn’t have to be any more lockdowns since people can wear masks and prevent the spread.

I'm essential. Since March 13 in the US I have not had a single day off, except to drive a child to college 4 hours away and return the same day..and even then was dealing with work on the phone most of the time. I'm already drowning. If there's another lockdown, I'm throwing in the towel or at least intentionally exposing myself to covid so I can quarantine for 14 days and sleep.

Lol..even that's not allowed. My profession is exempted from quarantine in most places. Including other countries.

Just eased ours 2 days ago and domestic flights and cross district travel opening yet record cases today lol?, makes a joke of the last 6 months of lock down and it will be back in a month when cases double...

I have given up tryin to work out what's goin on n why just rollin with it atm n keepin an eye on everything else

You know what im going to ask........

And if you cant tell us the job, can you tell us the workfield?
Or are you a medical worker?? (if so, they dont get days off?!)

What about weekens? do you work more than before or the same days but without the option to take a day off?

either way. respect to you!

Same! im just rollin with it and making the best of it. which for me works out great.
worst thing that could happen to me is not being allowed to celebrate christmas, which i will do anyway.
other than that im pretty lucky with my job and for once for not being super outgoing and not having a huge family.

I am a part owner in a small construction company. I manage all the roofers in the company. My roofers are VERY busy in the winter due to all the roof leaks around our area. Every year I get the "Sam, I do not feel good today. I think I am sick" and tell them to "stay home until you feel better. I don't want you getting the other guys sick."

Now... I don't know wtf I am supposed to do. I typically double up each truck in the winter (2 guys per truck) due to safety reasons. Working on a roof is dangerous as is it but when it is pouring rain, it's more dangerous. Since covid, I can no longer have the guys carpool so I will more than likely need 2 trucks for each stop. And if someone calls in sick, I have to treat this like it is covid and not your standard flu?

If I have to treat an employee not feeling well as if they have covid, and they are to self-quarantine for 14 days. 2 weeks the guy cannot come back to work and what about testing?

This winter is going to SUCK!

Good job Yo!

I told GLP already, get Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner now and also buy presents now.

You should already be prepped and if you're not I don't know what to tell you.

That sucks. over here non of these things would be a big problem (right now)
people are allowed to travel together. a truck i would assume has enough space between the seats. specially if you wear a mask.

as for feeling ill. covid tests take 2 days now. so if you dont have it, you can go back to work in 2 or 3 days.
They also have uhh public tests (sorry forgot the name). as in test kits you can buy as an employee to test your own workers (they use those in schools here, since teachers cant just stay home for 2 weeks)
clearly this will cost money, but still better than losing out of 2 weeks of work

In your field of work (over here) people really WANT to work, being scared of losing their job/income. So calling in sick doesnt happen as often (dont know if thats a good or bad sign in case you actually catch c19).

i guess the biggest worry is having 2 people in one truck?
Are you sure its not allowed????
is it a TRUCK truck or more like a van with 3 seats in the front? Over here those are allowed as long as the seat in the middle stays open.

i hope everything works out :(

Thank you :)

Yes, a kind of medical worker - in rural underserved US. I work 7 days a week.
But my colleagues in cities and in corporate practice are facing the same demands.we already had one of the highest suicide rates of any profession. It's exhausting..and I'm not sure which is more difficult..working 60-80 hours a week or telling people no when they are begging you to help and you are too exhausted to go one more mile.
I'm not alone and others who share my profession will recognize what I am talking about. I know this is also true for therapists and counselors and social workers right now. FWIW Covid is real and vitamin D does help your immune system function better.

I am the same ac.just on the road but stopped for a pee break ( thank god the corn is still standing lol). GLP is weirdly my happy place at the moment. Been here since 2005.

I'll be headed for the closest state forest. free camping and great fishing. stay home if you want.

My guidance informs me lockdowns will cease world wide soon.
Not sure why or how, but we will not have anymore lockdowns going into November.

food.. supplies.. enough Insulin et all... I still think we may see internet and tv shutdown... a couple times or so... and I guess then I will go thru withdrawal of GLP and my posting on my own sites.. maybe I will READ and clean house and if there are real food shortages where I live.. I will get the food bank back open I run.

will we at least keep some restrictions?!

Ooh cool you run a food bank?? :)
urgh insulin seems like a big downer in case of an apocalypse. now i dont want it to happen anymore.

cleaning my house will be done in half a day. so im getting a few books. of movies that ive loved in the past. mostly stephen king :)

Glad to be part of your happy place :)

So being kind of a medical worker, does most of your workload actually come from covid?

I think we can expect more rioting & fires.
They want to close down places where supplies come from so even if all the stores are open by you, if they can't get food/supplies from other states, it's gonna suck.

That's why we need to stock up.

Also, we can expect them to shut off all our power/internet/cell phones so you better know how to contact people & which ones you WANT to contact.


Can you imagine, you don't know your neighbors & you go knock on their door? Who's gonna answer their door to a stranger during a lockdown?

Get to know your neighbors NOW.


I have a wind up record player and old records for it so I'm good for entertainment if we have no radio/TV/internet.

Just got done getting some extra groceries and tp lol. Canned soups were on sale too :D

Also did something i forgot for the longest since everything went back to normal.. got my barbers personal number for when they have to close again

As long as rioting, looting, and "peaceful protests" are allowed on a daily basis, my plan is to ignore, and not comply, with any lockdown.
