Is it too late to start working on my survival bunker and hoard some food?

The Sequester was so bad that it would never happen.... Happened
The Shutdown was so bad that it would never happen.... Happened
We'll never allow the Government to default and run out of money......

I'm not really a fan of Spam, but I do like dehydrated camping food. Now where can I find some of that dehydrated water?

In all seriousness, I'm supposed to drive to Rhode Island from Florida the day of the debit limit (Oct 17). This should be fun. I refuse to drive to a conference if we're going to get all Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome on each other.

Less densely populated and more easily defended.

If we are going all Mad Max, RI might be a reasonable choice.

So I guess start with rations, water and fire making devices. Shelter, well a spade might work.

I watch a couple episodes but the idiots who are these shows are too sad for words. There are some spinoffs including a doomsday castle series that I found to be unwatchable.
