Get home pack. What do you have in it?

I was talking with a fellow down Savannah area a few weeks back.
He said that after the Hurricane storm, that he was pretty well prepared but lacked $$$CASH$$$. He said that wouldn't ever happen again.

I told that was one thing that would never be without. When the power is out, the only thing spendable is cash.

Wearing a pair of high dollar short running shorts with a sewn in liner instead of underwear might help with the chafing. Works fer me.

Yeah man.....nothing can kill your momentum like a severely chafed ass.
I'm not overweight either I just have really sensitive skin I guess.
I've tried monkey butt-didn't work.
Powders don't work.
Aquafor is great for overnight soothing once the burn needs healing but for you guys that chafe badly you know that you basically gotta sleep naked with your ass all lathered up with awuafor under a ceiling fan all night just to be able to walk the next day and still you need another full day of healing if you're gonna be walking.

Really for guys that chafe like this it's truly a debilitating situation with every step you take.
Yeah comfy, breatheable pants and preventative maintenance, keeping clean and dry are considerations with this.

I keep a small "ass kit" in my bag which is the chafe zone stick, a wash cloth and a thin bar of gentle, non perfumed disinfectant soap.

The chafe zone does not work (after) your ass is chafed...you gotta put it on before you start your trek and the more you sweat the better it works.

It does have a hint of Ben gay smell which is fine unless you put it on while already chafed then you burn like you wiped with hot peppers.....got it?

In this case your gonna need powder or something soothing.

Wow....sorry for the rant but this shot can be a serious game stopper or one hell of a painful adventure if one decides to keep moving without help.

It's usually the worst once you stop walking and dry off a bit then the swelling and bleeding starts.

Get you some Balmex diaper rash cream. If that don't cure your "Monkey Butt", you might want to see a skin Dr.

Detonate a nuke in the upper atmosphere and it causes a huge area hit with a high intensity EMP. Estimates are that two or three one megaton warheads properly placed over the US would send us back to the dark ages for many years.

Read "One Second After". It's written by someone that knows the science. And it's scary as hell to understand just how vulnerable we are.

Based on the numbers the scientists ran for the Congressional report this book was based on, it would result in 90% of the U.S. population dying within 12 months IIRC.

Where is a pay phone? I think we have one in Putnam County, and if SHTF, I wouldn't be stopping by it to place a call.

Yep, most folks just don't understand how dependent we all are on our fragile and easily destroyed infrastructure.

We could stand to lose about 60% of the population according to the voting results of the last POTUS election.
