So are any of you hordeing food? After watching the news on these stories i was wondering if this isn't just pumped up hype. I do know a lot of the asian and mexican restaurants in my area buy there big bags of rice at SAM's club. Was talking to one of the owners of the asian place here in town and he said he easily goes through 5 bags a week. I'm just kind of suspicious of the whole story.

I wouldn't worry. I've noticed that alotta chinese places have gone to a 'buffet' format, or one kinda like it, where all the food on the menu is cooked, and kept on a steam-table under glass. That way, they just serve, and cook more when they need it. They work on building up a reputation for fast service, and it's also hard for a customer to say no when they are looking at huge piles' of Brocolli Beef, orange chicken, Chow Mein, Fried rice, Wonton soup, egg rolls...you get the picture.

If by hording you mean having four cases of Sweet Water 420 and three big bags of hot wings on standby, hording..then yes I am hording. :aok

If you believe in the Bible,or pay any attenion to the so called seers,Hopi and Mayan indians,etc.Food will become scarce,and many other natural disasters will befall the world.When is it going to happen,well the Mayans have it around 2014.Is the earth starting to show signs of it coming soon.Holes in atmospere,Changes in weather,earthquakes,etc.Wars going on all over world,espically in middle east.I would say we're moving in the right direction.For those that don't believe in all the signs,and say don't worry about it.Thats their perrogative as well.

No food yet, just ammo. Here is what I have in one of my boxes:
(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s272/lanceJOregon/guns/ammo.jpg)
Only 1,340 rounds in this box.
Ammo prices have been climbing even higher than most foods. So it is best for you to stock up now.

White rice is a food only for the uneducated. White rice is actually brown rice with the majority of micronutrients and fiber stripped off. That garbage metabolizes to sugar faster than white bread.
-
Glok,
You bring a interesting point to my attention. What good is food with out the means of protecting it? If food does become scarce you better believe some people are going to fight for it. A ample supply of protection and food is going to be the issue. For this reason I am looking at setting an "escape plan" up some day. If it ever its the fan it would be nice to have some protection and a good food supply. My guess is that seeds are going to be a good investment too. Any "end of days" scenario is likely to last longer than any stockpile bought by average mortal will last. I think a few months of food, protection, and a means to grow your own food is the going to be the ideal way to survive the big one.....which ever form of disaster the end might bring.

OMG you Nancy's. Stop stressing about it. Strip, taking advice from Glok, is like a wet t-shirt contest being judged by a blind man. It just doesn't make sense. Ammo prices are not that high. I can still pick up 1,500 rounds of 9mm for about 120.00$. Even self defense ammo is not that high. You just have to know where to shop.
I was at Costco today. I didn't see any mad panic over food. The news just keeps pounding away at the story because they have nothing else negtive to run.

Gezzzzz are we paranoid or what ?
you guys crack me up :eek:

I can still pick up 1,500 rounds of 9mm for about 120.00$. Even self defense ammo is not that high. You just have to know where to shop.
Then specifically where can you find such a deal as you mention here? Even low quality Russian Wolf brand 9mm ammo costs more than that. Or are you talking about buying reloaded ammo from some little known minor source, instead of a known brand of ammo?? Many people are not comfortable buying that sort of ammo.
And of all the various calibers, 9mm is one that has been affected less, because it is so common and mass produced around the world so much. Larger calibers like .40 S&W and .45 Auto have increased far more. They also use more copper and lead, both of which have dramatically risen in price in recent years on the commodities market.
And centerfire rifle ammo has gone up a great deal in recent years. In the past few years since the Iraq war started, I've seen stores actually run out of .223 ammo at times, or ration it. 7.62 NATO ammo is no longer as commonly available as it used to be, and definitely has increased quite a bit from where it used to be.
Copper is now so very expensive that thieves are even cutting into live power lines to steal it. Phone lines have been cut. Even where I live, the biggest city in our county had thieves strike the city lights over the extensive bike path system that the city has, riping out the copper wiring. Much of it is being blamed on Meth addicts, desperate to raise cash.
I'm surprised that you are not aware of all of this, as it has been big news the past couple of years. Here is a recent story on ABC News specifically about copper:

I have not asked her why she is doing this, though. But she definitely does not want any of it taken away from her. It must be a cat thing.

Hey Don't knock the Glock man!!!!
A little bit of thought will tell you just why it's so good to be the blind guy judging the contest! :rock

Once again, you are talking over your head. The company I am talking about supplies ammo to some of the best shooters in the states. The fact that I can make a phone call and have over thousands of rounds delivered to me in a matter of minuets if need be, knocks that minor source comment out the window too..why don't you find your way back to ar15.com with the other yahoos.
Every thread you find yourself in you have to show some photo of some gun or some ammo, someone says they had a shooting in their neighborhood and you tell them that, getting a class three permit and buying a mac-10 is the way to go.
That comment right there shows your total lack of understanding about how the world works.

You haven't heard about the food riots that have been happening quite regularly?
Have you bought any bread recently? Did you notice the increase in cost?
No?
Not to worry...maybe you'll notice the effects of what is actually going on in the world the next time you go to McDonalds and there is no longer a 99cent burger...and no dollar menu.

I've always kept somewhere between a 2-4 week supply of food and water since Mt. St.Helen's blew. This includes two 20lb. bags of rice (which if kept dry, last years) Canned goods, dry goods, ammo....never hurts to be prepared, and its fun to rotate stock. :)

Wow...great response.
Being a financial sort of guy have you been approached by any institutions offering water initiatives or food/agriculture related funds recently? Those are the real telling factors imho. We had a guy in from Schroders the other day and he showed us a number of investing opportunities. Some of the funds I asked about are oversubscribed and the funds are now closed. You can't even put money into them if you wanted to...and the minimum subcription was $1,000,000.
Seems like the investing community have already recognised the problem and are gearing up to cash in on it.
But, I'm sure they are a bunch of chicken littles.

I don't know lumpy.. most of the old woman stuff starts in limeyland.. the so called man made global warming thing is mostly a limey old woman thing. You are scaring our children and liberals.
That being said.. because of the war and stupid restrictions.. ammo is going up.. I reload tho so.. not so much for me.. A box of 44 mag cost me about $5 little more for 50 30-06 or .223 mouse gun loads. If I go back to casting my own lead bullets it will be even less.
Seen a neat deal at the range.. guy took a shot out .303 smelly (aren't they all shot out?) and was shooting 200 grain lead slugs out of it at about 1600 fps.. nice groups at 50 yards.

No I havent heard of any food Riots.
The rise in cost of bread is a double whammy due in large part to the rise of the price of flour. I expected it
another reason is the rise in fuel price. So I expect to see price increases in just about everything in the near future.
I just havent yet
Course it helps I dont live out in Timbucktoo either.
As much as this state sometimes sucks it does have benifits.
We have our own refineries making fuel here among the lowest priced in the nation
And we are near everything from ports to manufacuring plants. Making transport of the things we need easier,shorter and less expencive.

Well, but if such a vendor really existed, you could have very easily provided at least for us the name and address of the company, if not their web address. What is the big secret? You've made a claim, yet refuse to back it up with any actual facts. Is that supposed to come across as you being credible on this point???
Every thread you find yourself in you have to show some photo of some gun or some ammo, someone says they had a shooting in their neighborhood and you tell them that, getting a class three permit and buying a mac-10 is the way to go.
That comment right there shows your total lack of understanding about how the world works.
Well now you are taking this entire forum way, way too seriously. Do you think that everything posted here is meant to be serious and viewed in a matter of fact light? I have news for you, if you do. I simply Googled machine guns and women, and came up with that photo of the lady shooting a Mac-10 at the range.
Have you never, ever heard of dry humor???
Heck, even I don't own any fully automatic Class III weapons, even though they are legal to own here in Oregon, as well as in Texas. As it is, many people look at the firepower of some of the weapons that I do own, and do not understand why I own them.
Besides, it would be practically pointless to buy a Class III weapon at this point in time, because ownership of them is probably going to become illegal in a few more years. Heck, I even regret buying my AK-47. Some states have already outlawed the ownership of them. I will not be at all surprised if Oregon joins them in the not very distant future.

Again, you are taking the posts here way too seriously. Of course that is not really my cat. I Googled the word hording, and one of the results was that photo, which I thought was rather a bit humorous. I made the post to simply have some fun with this subject, and share what I thought was a funny photo.
You need to try to get some more fun out of life. Try lightening up a bit. It will do you some good.

I don't know about any of you all, but I have been keeping 6 months to a year of non-perishables for most of my life. The local grocery store has a case lot sale every 3 month or so, and the wife and I put our eating out money in to a few extra cases of stuff. The biggest thing to remember is FIFO first in first out or use the oldest stuff first. Is that hording or just good practice? I tell you though, it really evens out the cash flow from month to month. BTW do you know how much space a years worth of beer takes up? (Grin)

I believe that all Mormons are actually required by their faith to keep a supply of food available for emergencies. I looked at a house for sale last year that had a huge pantry room built in the basement, with shelf after shelf full of non-perishable food.
When I commented about this to the real estate agent showing the house, he told me that the home's owners were Mormon. They were just an older couple in their 60's too. Just the two of them living there.
It was a really great house, too. But I decided to not move to that area.

-
My grandparents always had enough food on hand to carry you through the very worst of times.
A wall to wall, ceiling to floor, multidoored pantry was at one end of the kitchen.
It was always stocked full of veggies, fruits, jams/jellies and canned meats.
All home grown and processed there.
Potatoes were stored on raised screen wire under the house. There were always more than enough.
That`s the way it was done then.
Loved that kitchen. ;)

Glok, my source for cheap ammo has already been posted. In a thread you have already been in and posted in. Open your eyes dude. It is funny to me, you post pictures ripped from the internet and claim them to be yours and when you are called on it you back peddle with some excuse. This is the second time now. My photos may be fuzzy, but at least they are MY photos. By the way, I found your cat.

Hoarding is for the week and timid. I bought a pair of spiked shoulder pads and mounted a steel crossbow on my pickup, if the stuff ever hits the fan I'm going Mad Max and forming a gang of like minded sociopaths and degenerates...we'll take what we want.

The only "hording" I'm doing is ammo also. 2K of 5.56 in the basement with another 3K otw. Gotta find a good place to buy 9mm tho. Course everytime I go to the range I'm capping off 1 - 1.5 K so it doesn't last me very long. I buy in bulk cuz I'm shooting in bulk.
-
Just stocking up on some ammo. And inquiring which of my neighbors are nervous food horder types, as well as liberals. Its quite easy here in portland. If the balloon goes up it will be my civic duty to remove their defenseless provisions and guard them myself.

There are some seriously sadistic statements in this thread.....even in a joking light.
Sad part is if the crap ever hits the fan I dont see them being far from the truth.

Great, MT!! Because you have a shaved head you can be my second in command. You go to the costume shop and buy all the facepaint they have and I'll go to True Value to pick up several hundred yards of chain and some hatchets.

I tried hoarding some chocolate chip cookies. I put them in a side cabinet instead of the cookie jar. My intention was to pull them out after the kids fall asleep each night & chow down. I got impatient though(1st mistake), and got those little chocolate delights out after the kids went to "bed," but hadn't yet fallen asleep. So I get a water-call from the little one. I give him a kiss w/his water (2nd mistake: he smells chocolate like he's a bloodhound). Next thing I know, I got Bond jr. scoping out my computer area looking (and finding) my cookie stash. :(
That's about the extent of my hoarding... and I'm not very good at it apparently.

I have a brand new plasma cuter!! Can i be in!!??!..Also have a lot of ammo...Combat boots and motorcyle helmet with horns
Just bought some new chain saw blades also...Lots of scrap steel also...MAd MAx ..ohyaa
btw BBBB...where is this 9mm ammo you speak of at 120$ for 1500...I would call BS..or its lead ball rounds made by some junky Ill pay you 170$ for that 1500 rounds if not lead ball

I posted the link already. That price is a law enforcement/friend price. I am not sure what Danny's regular pricing is. http://www.atlantaarmsandammo.com/ I have used a lot of different types of ammo from him over the years. I have had no problems. All of his stuff is high quality. The 9mm rounds I get from him are the 115gr TCJ.

-
Don't be a jerk. Your price wont be far off from mine. Instead of popping off in here, you should give him a call in the morning and find out how much it will cost YOU. Keep in mind if you don't live in Ga you will have to have it shipped which is going to add to the cost. Even so, I bet it is going to be cheaper than you will be able to find anywhere else and I can give you dozens of people who can vouch for the quality. Somehow though, I have this feeling you are not going to do much more than troll.

This is exactly as I had suspected. Ammo that is remanufactured using reloaded brass from a small local outfit, and not from any nationally recognized brand. It is important to note that the use of reloaded ammo will actually void the warranty on a number of different brands of handguns. Just check the safety section of your handgun's manual.
And then on top of all of that, it turns out that you also have to be a member of law enforcement too, in order to qualify for the price.
.
-
LOL..so where do you get reloaded ammo that is nationally recognized Glok? Once again, another troll, rather than making the phone call to price it out, you snub your nose and tell us how much better that wolf or white box stuff is.
You would be hard pressed to fine a police dept in the US that does not use factory reloads for their training as it is far, far, cheaper. As for the voiding warranty..I have been using this stuff for over 10 years. I know multiple law enforcement agencies, both local and federal who use this stuff and have had no problems from AA&A ammo. Even so, since I know more about pistols than just hanging stuff off of them, I can fix just about any problem that comes up, short of a kaboom. Which AA&A stuff has never caused that I am aware of.
On top of that, Atlanta Arms and Ammo supplies some of the top shooters in the country with reloads..even Team Glock. I have said it once and I will say it again. If you knew more than just hanging lasers and flashlights off from pistols and went out and got some actual training, then you would most likely be using factory reloads from a number of companies across the country that produce that type of ammo.
Most places involved in shooting have law enforcement pricing. Again if you spent less time hooking up moms with mac-10s and made something of yourself instead of spouting off nonsense on the internet and posting pictures of guns that you ripped from someone else, you would know this.
It is funny to me you noted voiding the warranty on a number of pistols. So now you are worried about voiding the warranty? This coming from a guy who's number one life saving device is a CTC laser on his pistol. Hey hero, extended slide releases, mag releases and other factory parts, not installed by the factory or a certified Glock armorer voids your warranty too. As do OEM parts like your extended barrels and aluminum guide rod assemblies. Like reloads, if anything goes wrong with your pistol while rocking these parts you are SOL. You knew this already though. You were just looking for a reason to troll.
I am done with you. You have proven yourself clueless. So with that, troll on :salute .
-
LOL..so where do you get reloaded ammo that is nationally recognized Glok?
But that is exactly my point that I was making. There is no such thing.
Once again, another troll, rather than making the phone call to price it out, you snub your nose and tell us how much better that wolf or white box stuff is.
Hmmm, it is you who is the one who interjected yourself into the conversation, making an obviously invalid statement to try to make it appear that my earlier true statement regarding ammo prices rising was somehow false. So if anyone here is guilty of trolling, it is obviously yourself, not I. All I had asked for was for you to name the source that had this fantastic price. You could have easily clarified all of this many messages ago, instead of dragging it out to such a ridiculous extent.
You would be hard pressed to fine a police dept in the US that does not use factory reloads for their training as it is far, far, cheaper.
Again, as you have already pointed out earlier, there is no such thing as factory reloads. Winchester, Federal, Remington, none of the major ammo manufacturers. So you are now even contradicting yourself.
There was big news in the press just recently, regarding Winchester being awarded contracts by the FBI to provide ALL of their 9mm and .40 S&W ammo for ALL of their agents. And none of it, including their training ammo, was remanufactured. It is all Winchester produced ammo. See the following:
http://www.policeone.com/police-products/press-releases/1640496/
http://www.policeone.com/police-products/firearms/accessories/ammunition/press-releases/1659042/
As for the voiding warranty..
Well, if you have a problem with that, then you need to take that up with the various handgun manufacturers, not I. I don't write what is written in the various manuals.
I have said it once and I will say it again. If you knew more than just hanging lasers and flashlights off from pistols and went out and got some actual training, then you would most likely be using factory reloads from a number of companies across the country that produce that type of ammo.
You keep making this same personal insult against me over and over again, yet you don't even know me personally. You are really sounding like a worn out record here, repeating yourself like this, saying the exact same thing again and again. I heard you the first time, and the second, and now this third time too. Do you think that repeating something over and over again somehow makes it become true?? Actually, that is a very well known and documented propaganda tactic.
Most places involved in shooting have law enforcement pricing.
Well, of course that is true, but tell me this: How on earth is that relevant in any way at all to the previous discussion here? No one in this thread said anything about being a member of law enforcement. You yourself were most disingenuous in your earlier remarks, as you never said anything about you yourself being in law enforcement, or that you were getting special law enforcement pricing. You are engaging in numerous and obvious red herrings here.
Again if you spent less time hooking up moms with mac-10s
Well, I'm sorry that you cannot take a joke. As I said earlier, you really need to lighten up here, and get off your vendetta against me.
and made something of yourself instead of spouting off nonsense on the internet
So you sometimes don't like to act a little silly? Why do you have to be so serious all the time? Humor and having fun is proven to improve a person's health. Don't you enjoy watching Monty Python?? I certainly do. In fact, I have memorized the "Lumberjack Song" by heart: The Larch!! The Fir!! The Mighty Scots Pine!!! La la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la.....

and posting pictures of guns that you ripped from someone else, you would know this.
None of my firearms in my collection are stolen. You are really becoming ridiculous in your remarks now.
I am done with you. You have proven yourself a top ranked dolt. So with that, troll on :salute .
It is most ironic that you have this tremendous need inside you to put other people down so much,and call them names like troll and dolt. You have done this to both of the people in this thread who were brave enough to point out how misleading your statements were.

Yes, I am secretly hording food in my Morbidly Obese body. :cry

Well suprised i got this many responses. :aok As far as guns go that's a plus and minus thing, kind of hard to hold a gun when your starving and to weak to lift your arm. I own guns also but that doesn't mean i don't keep extra food for emergencies either. Couple things i do kind of horde on is chunky soup, pork and beans, and vegetables in a can. Anytime they have a 2 for the price of 1 or half price sale i'll buy 10 to 20 cans. I also buy a lot of tuna fish in a can when it's on sale and of course i've got at least 10 cans of spam at all times. Seems like spam is the fruitcake of meats, it lasts forever it seems like. :lol
-
stop watching the news and reading newspapers.
If you horded stuff every time they told you that you needed to.. you would have spent thousands on pretty much useless stuff by now.
You can buy MRE meals by the dozen tho. probly not a bad thing to have a few dozen.. you know.. just so you can keep up your strength enough to pull the trigger and all.

Outstanding. Sweet Water Brewing company just threw a big bash here. It was a blast. I am lucky, 420 can be found at just about every bar in Atlanta, and cases of it are on hand at the local grocery store. When you do get it up there be sure to pick up some hot Italian sausage and have some sausage and peppers with it, you will be glad you did. :aok

Yes, I'm originally from Asheville and it's been available there a long time, I miss it a lot. I had a friend bring down a couple cases for our 4/20 celebration.
They also had a Sweetwater tent at the World Beer Festival here this past weekend. The Blue is a great beer too.

I hate to be such a downder, but... what in the news would be causing me to hoard food and ammo? Did we run out of something? Seriously, I have no idea what's going on in this thread, but if I'm supposed to be panicing, I want to know about it (do I need new duct-tape and celephane, or is my stuff from the panic of '02 still good?)

I saw a report about the price of rice doubling per ton in the past year. Being that a lot of people in the world use rice as a staple food, some are thinking its time to buy it in bulk now before it gets even more expensive. I think thats the gist. Google it for the details.

Look at the price of grain! Since everyone got such a high on the thought of cheap fuel from ethanol grain prices have skyrocketed. This isn't limited to one product it's just getting warmed up and may soon snowball out of control. Rice and a few other grain products will last for years if stored properly and are good nutritional items. I just checked my shelfs and i have 2 lbs of rice, think i need to go grab me a few of them 35lb bags. :lol Being single that'd probably hold me for a year, along with some more spam. :rofl

Why would I want facts when I can instead rely on O'Club conjecture? :)
