ReplyDeleteYou might BE Burt if your wife continually asks "Do you really need another gun?"
ReplyDeleteYou might also BE Burt if your first thought when going into a new restaurant is "Where are my escape routs" instead of what you're going to have for dinner.
Sorry, I must admit to holding Burt as one of my prepping icons. So I can't really say what it would be like to be married to Burt as I am a Burt wanna be. :)

ReplyDeleteYou Might be Married to Burt if....
ReplyDeleteYour husband thinks a .50 cal. is a nice "Carry Piece"
No, at 75lbs, a 50 cal is a little too heavy for me to use as a "walk about" weapon, but... nice to have set up to greet the uninvited.
Your husband reminds you that "plastic is NOT an oxygen barrier"
Of course not, that's why it can be used for field dressings, and is okay to use for an "expedient shelter" from "some" stuff. Need good duct tape too.
When looking at real estate, your husbands first requirement is "Geographical Isolation"
MY first requirement is "water" and then the direction of prevailing winds; geographical isolation is not in the top ten. It is number 11.
Your husband asks you to keep a supply of "a few household chemicals in proper proportion"
Never ever buy chlorine bleach in any form except "regular" (it is also the cheapest) Scents and the "gel" non-splashing crap cannot be used for treating water. Every household should have a good supply of diatomaceous earth, lots of uses, keepiing ants and other pests out is only one use.
Your husbands favorite color is camouflage, followed closely by OD.
No, that's mine! And with "camo" stick to a pattern that "fits" in your area, nothing is worse than "green woodland" in the desert. Instead of OD, go with what ever color is common for your "dirt."
Proud FEMALE USAF veteran that learned long ago from the Girl Scouts (before they went PC) to "Be Prepared."

ReplyDeleteYou might be married to Burt if your 7,000.00 car (purchased used and capable of running after an EMP hits) sits out in the weather because your garage is now "the shop" where everyone gathers to learn reloading and canning up the venison (since the spare stove is out there).
