Peakstupidity.com has not covered prepping in any way yet. Zerohedge.com, which is number 1 on the blogroll, and has been mentioned already many times, is not a prepper site per se, but many of the commenters are of that sort. To me, that is one of the best things about zerohedge. One can learn a lot from the written experience of others.

In the future, some prepper-site links will be in the blogroll, but first reviews will be written.

Here is a few year old song buy a western Canadian dude named Corb Lund, who plays with his band The Hurtin' Albertans. OK, the "Peak Oil" idea may be completely out of anyone's head for a good while now, but that's the premise, and this is truly the Prepper's Anthem:





The video is not particularly interesting, so here are the lyrics:

When the oil stops, everything stops, nothing left in the fountain.
Nobody wants paper money son, so you just well stop countin'.
Can you break the horse, can you light the fire, what's that I beg your pardon?
You best start thinking where food comes from and I hope you tend a good garden.

Getting down on the mountain, getting down on the mountain.
Don't wanna be around when the shit goes down;
I'll be gettin' down on the mountain.

When the truck don't run, the bread don't come , have a hard time finding petrol.
Water ain't runnin' in the city no more do hold any precious metal?
Can you gut the fish, can you read the sky, whats that about over crowdin'?
You ever seen a man who's kids ain't ate for 17 days and countin'.

Getting down on the mountain, getting down on the mountain.
Dont wanna be around when the shit goes down;
I'll be gettin' on down the mountain.

There ain't no heat and the powers gone out, it's kerosene lamps and candles.
The roads are blocked its all grid locked, you got a short wave handle?
Can you track the deer, can you dig the well, couldn't quite hear your answer.
I think I see a .rip in the social fabric, brother can you spare some ammo?

Getting down on the mountain, getting down on the mountain
Don't wanna be around when the shit goes down;
Gettin' on down the mountain.

When the oil stops, everything stops, nothing left in the fountain.
Nobody wants paper money son, so you just well stop countin'.
Can you break the horse, can you light the fire, whats that I beg your pardon?
I think I see a rip in the social fabric; brother can you pass the ammo?

Getting down on the mountain, getting down on the mountain
Don't wanna be around when the shit goes down;
Gettin' on down the mountain.


Addendum: The Calamity Song by The Decemberists embedded a few weeks back came on the radio just after this writer started reading zerohedge regularly, and it sure fit right in. The lyrics are really just jumbled-up garbage though (again, the REM influence!), but the song rocks anyway.
