Hi everyone,

My name is Matt and I am new to both prepping and to the forum. I am a long distance truck driver, hauling chemicals. I am working on a proper EDC kit, as I am woefully unprepared at this point. I am and have been a ham radio operator for over 2 decades and have the comms aspect pretty much under control. I am definitely ready for Ma Bell to close up shop. I am currently looking at the prospects of widespread civil unrest surrounding the 2020 elections. There seems to be plenty of evidence pointing in that direction, especially the extreme polarization in our country and the tendency of some unhinged people to incite violence among young snowflake types. I am honestly surprised that more is not already occurring. I see things going as is until June or July 2020 and then steadily downhill from there. I want to be prepared, regardless of whether my speculation is correct or not. That is the reason that I joined the forum; to learn from the experiences of everyone else here. Thanks for the great site and have a great day!

Howdy doody from up in Foat Wurth. I keep getting ominous bad old vibes about the commie..socialist..democrat Muslim coalition going nuts close to the election too. We plan to do like John Wayne and when the food and ammo runs out we save the last few rounds for ourselves.

Welcome aboard!
I used to drive trucks and the Texas Panhandle caused me my biggest concern due to the thick fog I sometimes encountered. Should I slow down and get creamed by a bull-hauler or speed and take the chance of creaming Schneider?

I have kin in Dumas, I visit occasionally. I know this much .... when you take that hard right in Amarillo to head north on into the panhandle, you better have some gas in the tank. Its a long 45 minutes to Dumas with no fuel stops.

You better be prepping if you live in Borger!! Hell, there are 3 gas plants ready to explode at any time, plus the carbon black plants that will pollute every thing within 100 miles if they blow up. I dont even want to mention fracing or drilling.
Just kidding.................Welcome to the site. I grew up in Pampa!

Welcome from Florida.
I used to local haul lumber. To give you an idea of how long ago, the flat bed trailers were 40 foot.
