What Has Happened to Prepping”

The times they are a-changing, and us with them. Makes for a good perspective to look back over almost 40 years of prepping work and see what thingswere stable and which pieces were changed.

Plus, in our ChartPack today, we look at a simple way to extract some “rules for trading” from a table of stock information.  May be able to pick up some new ideas on how to “shade your bets.”

Our morning warfront travelog (bring your own bullets) will check the 1500 mile war zone north (UKR) to south (Gaza border of Egypt).

But first, we have to take corporate media to task for some real BS spin on Tuesday election returns. Because it wasn’t a “MAGA loss” as some of the lefties hold. It’s that people just want to remain free. Partisan labeling is a scam of controllers and charlatans, as we see it.

  1. Ah to see the future..its confuzleing – so many timelines, need to follow em out to convergence..like following the current flows of a river. Biggest piece of scheisse in our colletctive future ? the same group/problem youse alluded to in todays post -ZOG.

    The question that needs a KNOWN answer is what is it/group that controls the ZOGs???

    – elohim-annuna.
    scaly, weird ass eyes, acrid odor (nasssty) and their misssserable sssslave workerssss – grays.- See .mil DUMBs-ITUD/Moon..dundundun.
    Ask Urewselves why edge of Moon is exactly the same fine details as center area of Moon when viewing from Earth..if a sphere – edges would be blurred when viewed from distance – they are – what We are seeing is a projection.

    Fakey fake fake – write when Youse get Discernment.

    Can still see in my mind, image of pedo joe kneelingdown on knees in front israhell PM in DC ofc during obongo years of tribulation.
    Zio Occupied Governments us/uk/israhell – executing the CULL. Thankfully, they are half way 2 their number in ukraine. By time 1 million dead – odessa is Russian , and they control black sea coast up to Romania.

  2. “On the idea that fish used to be wrapped in newspapers” from the subscribers side. And at least once bullet proof vests!

  3. Write the $125 trading book.

    Generally prepping is a hobby.

    We see what happened to the Ukie preppers and watch the destruction of the Palestinian preppers.

    If the prepper turns out to be right, that’s the prepper’s end of life template. Anything done to them will be done to us.

    • “Generally prepping is a hobby.
      We see what happened to the Ukie preppers and watch the destruction of the Palestinian preppers.”

      I went through similar than that and totally agree!
      But, people should “prep” to their comfort level.
      Same goes for communicating with a Dude ;-).
      It’s anybody’s choice, IMHO.

  4. You spark an idea:
    “Phases of Prep” (“Urgency / Expense”?)

    There seems to be HeadSpace/Urgency
    levels to prepping.

    1. Pre-Prep. Sun is out, Ole Man River is
    rollin’ along fine, in short: Normalcy reigns.
    Plenty of time, money, and “think time.”

    2. Impending Prep. Hurricane three days out.
    Vital and final choices. Considerable time
    pressure. Sense of foreboding.

    3. Imminent Serious Threat. Wildfire, sudden storm,
    Local Civil Disobedience runaway. Violence.

    4. Full Emergency Now Underway. Some
    serices interrupted, “going-to-hell-in-
    a-handbasket,” non-cash no good, fuel
    unavailable. Electricity may be yes/no.

    5. “Endurance Mode.” How LONG can you
    run in full-up operational mode? Patience.

    6. “Recovery Mode.” Emergency abating.
    Now supplies needed for repair/rebuild.

    7. “Return to Normaly” mode. Rebuilding
    recovery, daily life — resume cruising.

    I submit the tools and supplies are different
    for each mode. Still sussing this one out…

    – 73-

    Our ham crash net test was mostly a failure.
    Maybe we declare it now “in-session,”always,
    and see who might drop by at various times.

    Opinions?

    • I prep for the short term ..it’s impossible for one man or family yo prep for total calamity and destruction. I prep because I have been there done that. because of the extreme costs involved..when I am asked..just how can you do it..it’s like building a house.. one board.. to gather an emergency save me from the storm food stock..I tell them one can.. IF you use five cans of beans then buy six when your at the fourth can buy six more.. the cost of prepping is low and manageable and if you keep to that you’ll have your food stock before you realize you have it.rotate..
      the interpretation of 7 years of feast and 7 years of famine..we never know when there will be a time of famine..people assume that their lives will always stay the course as always..we as humans take what we have for granted..it’s human nature..those that have severe pain after a while the brain forgets that pain so when it returns its all new once again.
      I got more crap than anything because I prepped..then without notice we were shoved into a no income for a year situation.. almost instantly what everyone razed me over became the lifesaver. and the game phase ten twist..( get the board version) and Monopoly became a favorite to help ease the mindset. everyone you assume will be there for you will leave you..to them you are the good time Charlie..when tragedy hits they vanish..

    • yup and the Deagel report basically reflects back at the Georgia guide stones message about humanity.. maintain a global population of 500 million..
      if you take a gander at the threat assessments on surviving nuclear holocaust you will see the parallel predictions..

      naked and afraid.. I personally believe that all of these shows are a social experiment similar to what was done during World War II where they tested to see what the limits of the human body can endure. and with what is it the estimated amount of people living at would survive in a catastrophic event by the studies that have been done roughly 10 million people in the whole country of the USA. it takes a community to work together and if you ever watch the movie The Postman I believe that’s how it will be each little individual Community will be the ones that will pull together to work together what is that old saying it takes a village to raise a child anyway that’s my impression of what’s going to happen

    • Deagel forecast for 2025 – U.S. population will drop by 68.5% by 2025.
      Meaning? 226,000,0000 people will die in the next 12 – 14 months.
      Now – 330,000,000 people – 2024
      Prediction – 104,000,000 people in 2025
      There is only a couple of ways this could happen – but the bottom line is that there won’t be enough people left to bury all the dead.., therefore – invest in a fleet of mobile crematoriums.
      Remember – everything is a business model !

      • Has anyone checked the numbers for other English-speaking countries? The last time I looked at Deagel, the U.S. population drop, by percentage, was significantly less than that of Canada, the U.K., Aus, NZ, etc. Nations where ESL is SOP were -2% to +5% of base levels, FTMP…

  5. Hey GeorgeAnne,

    need to let the peeps know its Trans Awareness Month!

    BOOM! – “Trans Women are Women”..and Im King of the World ! woot woot Good 2bee the bandicoot.

    I feel ya GeorgeAnne I feel ya – and apparently so does this “Women” –feel PMS cramps…https://t.co/JAwut9H6hu

    I bet ya didnt Prep 4 LBGTrans Assault on our Children..our Families.

    F – pedojoe, the cackling ho, AND the ENTIRE population of the District of Corruption and Darkness.

    * Next time pedo joe is on Ure TV – turn off the Sound and watch the spectacle – think any tinpot DickTater is worried about our gay ass military, administration or perv in charge hisself ??? Well do Ya ? Look at those eyes, Lights are barely on, but Nobody is home.

    ..then splain why X i wont take a Call our Meeting with pedo joe, but just met last week with Gavy Gurrsome of progressive lefty fame..piglosers nephew, in chynah.

    Color me sheepish Bull.

    • The whole trans thing is just beyond the pale. People have lost their minds.
      But it’s not inconceivable that some of these X posts are put-ons. The “15 minutes of fame” syndrome is easily engineered these days. It’s a competition for attention of any kind.

      • I get a tickle out of the new way that they question people in the VA healthcare system..

        Do you like sex..
        Do you have sex
        Do you want to have sex..
        Do you masterbate regularly
        Are you Gay…
        Are you bisexual..
        Do you see any thing that would get you to be bisexual..

        One gentleman when asked those questions.. answered.. He like sex questions.. and the are you bisexual or heterosexual.. he said he was heterosexual.. they sent him to see a psychiatrist.. LOL LOL LOL
        See so when they started to ask me those questions.. you you like sex absolutely
        do you want to have sex.. yes did you bring the KY jelly your going to need it LOL LOL LOL
        are you gay no
        are you bisexual.. seriously does it make any difference who takes care of charlie LOL LOL LOL
        I have no problems with someone that choses to be bisexual or gay.. many of their past stories will make you want to cry because of the horrors they had to endure before they chose that..
        but is it anyone other than their own personal history to have to divulge personal information.. no that is their own personal right to privacy..

  6. “To survive, to avert what we have termed future shock, the individual must become infinitely more adaptable and capable than ever before. We must search out totally new ways to anchor ourselves, for all the old roots – religion, nation, community, family, or profession – are now shaking under the hurricane impact of the accelerative thrust. It is no longer resources that limit decisions, it is the decision that makes the resources.”

    – Alvin Toffler, Future Shock (1970)

    • Yes, another very crafty quote, hiding their agenda, which is to destroy FAMILY, COUNTRY, RELIGION, COMMUNITY, YOUR PROFESSION, either by war, or by not keeping up with the massive technological changes craftily called ‘accelerative thrust.’

      COMMUNISM by any other name is still DESTRUCTION.

      So, do the opposite, do not let them destroy your Family, your Country, your Religion, your Community, your Profession, etc.

      They are trying to act as if we are not adaptable and haven’t been, and can’t be BUT WE CAN, WE ARE ALL ADAPTABLE, but we do NOT have to adapt to THEIR PLANNING.

      RESIST.

  7. A LOT of different people using a LOT of different approaches have had 2024 – 2025 in their sights for a very long time (with events starting in 2022 and accelerating in late 2023) as a time of massive CHANGE. If you have read and believe in Strauss and Howe’s Fouth turning we are now deeply into the point in time when the chaos occurs that creates the next turn.

    WHAT exactly is going to occur that causes the chaos that the “Fourth Turning” projects? That causes the chaos that others with their various different methods also have long projected to occur in this upcoming time frame? (Ray Dalio, the hedge fund billionaire has written some good stuff too, that we are on the cusp of a major change)

    We can only guess as to what the events are that will happen … and they can be well educated guesses … but except for a few of the Seers who can see somewhat through the Fabric of Time (I can NOT) it is all imo a guess. Educated guess yes, but still a guess.

    Most of my prepping now has become food oriented, the most basics of basics of food. Probably not for me but that now ridiculous amount of rice and beans plus other food basics may very well keep a couple of families alive during the chaos that may be coming. (I had the sudden urge to add to the stockpile about 3 weeks ago so went to the Asian Market and got another 150# of several different varieties of very good and very tasty rice – not the stuff you find at Wal-Mart or Sams but the GOOD stuff mostly from Asia, and hit the food service store for another 50# of various assortments of beans – maybe I died in a famine in an earlier life? always have had a thing about lots and lots of food stored up – also added another Sawyer Water Filter system … those are good for 100,000 gallons and CHEAP – also have several of the Dalton Ceramic Filter systems I built over the years fwiw).

    If all those projections coming from a lot of different methods are even close to being accurate the world, and the US, will be a very very different place in 4 years than it is today. We just don’t know what those differences will be and also don’t know if we personally will live through that period when those changes occur.

    • Won’t be long now –

      Endgame: Interest On US Debt Skyrockets Above $1 Trillion For The First Time Ever
      https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/endgame-interest-us-debt-skyrockets-above-1-trillion-first-time-ever

      Back in July, when we last looked at the unprecedented horror show that is the US budget deficit – and concluded correctly, long before the Q2 Quarterly Refunding Announcement, that debt issuance was about to explode and yields would soar – we warned that the debt Rubicon was about to be crossed and “US Debt Interest Payments Are About To Hit $1 Trillion.”

      Fast forward to today when the endgame has apparently arrived: according to the Treasury’s own calculations, total interest is now over $1 trillion (or $1.027 trillion to be precise).

      We calculated this by multiplying the average interest rate on marketable US Treasury debt (which according to the Treasury is 3.096% as of Oct 31) by the $26.003 trillion in marketable US debt (as of Oct 31) which nets off to $805 billion, and adding to this non-marketable debt interest (which as of Oct 31 was 2.884% multiplied by the amount of non-marketable debt which is $7.696 trillion) and which in turn is an additional $222 billion in interest. Add across and you get $1.027 trillion.

      Naturally, this calculation of estimated real-time interest costs – which is entirely based on Treasury data – is different than what the Treasury actually paid. Interest costs in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30 ultimately totaled $879.3 billion, up from $717.6 billion the previous year and about 14% of total outlays, however that number is merely lagging what the pro forma print currently is, and will inevitably catch up to it, and then lag on the other side even as pro forma interest payment start dropping (once interest rates plunge after the next QE/YCC is launched).

    • Mad Max – Road Warrior

      My life fades, the vision dims. All that remains are memories. I remember a time of chaos, ruined dreams, this wasted land. But most of all, I remember the road warrior, the man we called Max. To understand who he was we have to go back to the other time. When the world was powered by the black fuel, and the desert sprouted great cities of pipe and steel. Gone now, swept away. For reasons long forgotten two mighty warrior tribes went to war and touched off a blaze which engulfed them all. Without fuel they were nothing. They’d built a house of straw. The thundering machines sputtered and stopped. Their leaders talked and talked and talked, but nothing could stem the avalanche. Their world crumbled. Cities exploded. A whirlwind of looting, a firestorm of fear. Men began to feed on men. On the roads it was a white-line nightmare. Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the highways, ready to wage war for a tank of juice. And in this maelstrom of decay, ordinary men were battered and smashed. Men like Max, the warrior Max. In the roar of an engine, he lost everything, and became a shell of a man. A burnt-out, desolate man. A man haunted by the demons of his past. A man who wandered out into the wasteland. And it was here, in this blighted place, that he learned to live again.

    • I believe when this all goes active.. first it is going to be chaos in the streets.. the big cities.. they will be toasted.. the Biden militant army that was allowed in as illegals.. well those individuals are all over .. my thought is the assessments are that eighty thousand to one hundred thousand special forces are in sleeper cells here.. and two hundred members of the militants all allowed to come here and assisted even though they came right out and said that was exactly what they were going to do.. sneak in posing as refugees seeking asylum..
      Now will he get through congress the ten billion to buy them all homes.. who knows.. but if you look at this.. would you want to keep a suicidal militant group in the cities.. or move them out to the rural areas.. if the five hundred million world population is the goal.. those that survive will all be in rural remote regions.. those close to target points will die off with illnesses.. those close to the blast will be vaporized in a heartbeat or less..
      the people in the USA are not familiar with the horror of this.. and will be panicking.. hell that is why the gun sales are off the roof.. because people are panicking after seeing what terrorist organizations like BLM and Antifa have done..

    • “We can only guess as to what the events are that will happen …”

      you never know!
      I keep enough food on hand now.. if you’ve ever met someone that survived a time they are the exact same. when I worked trash.. a parent of someone I knew had passed on..as the kids were cleaning out the house they had cart after cart of supplies the one said to me..I never had a clue..I said it’s because they were thrust into a situation they weren’t expecting..disaster survivor’s always prep so they won’t have to go through it again.
      four times that I remember I was thrust in a situation beyond my control..For those that lost money, property, or both during the Great Depression, they also lost trust in the entire banking system. As a result, people stopped using banks to save/store their money. Instead, they resorted to hiding their money (and other valuables) in and around their homes. the same with food it’s the same thing. then there’s quality of life..being poor sucks kids don’t understand poor. because of that I figured this is a learning event and each time I learned how to make the basic essentials that give you a quality of life.
      all of us went through the covid toilet paper rush. each if us still remembers whether or not we didn’t have any..now.. how many of us ..learned how to make paper..or decided to keep a few extra rolls on hand.
      banking today compared to the b and closings of the twenties and thirties..today its happening differently. they are printing..Instead of closing the balance remains the same..instead the interest rates are not keeping up..neither are wages..if you had a million in the bank..it’s now half gone even though it appears the same..
      because of the appearance you’ll still do the snoopy happy dance and not even realize the amount is leaking out the titanic is sinking ..
      Zimbabwe style..

      everyone needs to read the book waterborne..it’s a wonderful story of the realization if what others are experiencing and the realization …I can help…and dies at his own expense.. one man’s legacy of hope.. I see it every day help where I can and I know I will never do as much as that one man did for so many now and in the future..
      we take so much for granted in the usa. many will jump in a car just to cross the street..we have plenty of energy food on the table electricity ..we take so much for granted.. read the book..it’s the best and on my shelf of most important books..a lesson of love and determination..

  8. I first became interested in what is now known as “prepping” during the last of my six years in the Army. I was in South Korea ’76/’77 and reading Mel Tappan’s “Survive” articles in Guns and Ammo Magazine.

    Mel became known as the “Father of the Survivalist Movement” and we were known as “Survivalists” until the MSM made Survivalist into a bad word. Later, people started calling themselves “Preppers” to avoid the stigma attached to the original name.

    Due to financial considerations, it’s only been in the second half of my life that I have been able to really get started acquiring the things needed.

    Sometimes I wish I could do the opposite of what you have done and leave the land for life on a 50-foot boat, drifting the South Pacific. It’s my understanding that today’s “pirates” operate near the shore and not so much in the middle of nowhere on the open sea.

    • True – particularly offshore 250 miles from gang, drug, or dirt poor countries. All going there sooner than later and that makes the seas not such a grand choice. Plus, every haul yourself up in a bosun’s chair? Lots of work on boats, no doctors and no doovers out there

  9. The other day I mentioned logging into my CC account and them requiring me to accept going digital or else. The ‘or else’ looks like I’ll be pushed out from participating as suspected. The manufactured consent angle where .gov isn’t forcing me, I’m making the choice.

    How does one prep for this? Property taxes are an annual event.

    • So far BoA still allows me to send checks to pay for my electric bill and all the other utility bills – of which I’m still surprised that they aren’t demanding auto debiting. I’m doing everything I can to prevent anyone from automatically taking anything out of that account. They can deposit all they like but yanking it out without my sig on the document ain’t happinin’ for now.

    • While I am not an eastern religion aficionado, this looks like a good application for consensus reality. All in favor of Bill Gates not mattering, just ignore him. Hear no Bill Gates, see no Bill Gates, speak no Bill Gates. There, wasn’t that easy ?

  10. Addendum / Correction
    – I have decided to step-up my decision to stop “Day Trading” by 30 days. I will stop by Thanksgiving.
    – Now.., what do I do with a screaming fast, dual 21inch monitor trade station?
    Never have played too many computer games.

  11. Just heard the Fed ordered a boatload of gourmet freeze-dried food. Don’t know what they think is coming but they sure plan to eat well.

    • Where do they plan to store it?

      In their not so secret bunker down in the Hunt Country part of Virginia … where they can watch the horses roam across the fields with the hills in the background while munching on their gourmet food?

  12. Good column this morning as usual George.

    Of all the prediction dates that have come and gone on this site and others, I cannot find any prediction of October 7, 2023. Some astute reader here may correct me. In my opinion, this the date that will stand in history as the day the world changed and will never be the same.

    Keep prepping no matter what that means to you. The good old days you talked about this morning and that I remember through the prime of my life, ain’t coming back. The good time memories keep flooding back in my nightly dreams now whatever that means at 82 years of age.

    Will be interesting to see if Andy’s date of July 25, 2024 comes and goes or even comes the way things are going now.

    P.S. I do not think the US will have presidential election in 2024.

    • Sadly, I have to agree with your doubts about the 2024 election. Although I said the same for 2020.

      You may be right… and yet we will have someone calling him/her self, “President”. It is the FORM of government rather than the PARTY governing.

    • Penny Kelly was the only one I know of that got any kind if “hit” on October 7th and it was so obscure that she still doesn’t understand it. She says the way things come to her in her remote viewing is such a fast flash that she has trouble writing it all down.

    • I also don’t recall anyone predicting something for 7 October.

      There is a video of Clif High and a group of remote viewers, both saying that something that would change the world would happen by the end of the year. The Remote Viewers said that they had been looking for something else, but couldn’t “see” anything beyond the “event.”

      After 7 October, the remote viewing guys released a video showing the similarities between the sketches they had drawn during the RV sessions and photos taken on 7 October. The sketches were also part of the earlier video, so not something made at the last minute to try and validate their claims. I don’t know if Clif High has taken any credit for the prediction or not.

      As Ripley once said “Believe it or Not.”

  13. Prepping. I always worried about living in Honolulu, among the hordes of people crowded there. Thankfully I have achieved my retirement dream, living outside a small town in the country with plenty of rainfall and growing things. My filipino friends dream of having a yard full of ‘everything edible’ and it’s easy to achieve in this windward climate. I have stored food… mostly focused on freeze dried, long term storage proteins like meats, rather than prepared meals. There is ample barter in the region for fruits, veggies, and some fish. I keep asking myself what would happen if the supply ships and barges stop coming in. Fuel would stop. Transport would be bicycles. I just ordered my rocket stove to cook with organic scraps. Solar electric is minimal, to keep the freezer/refrig running. I just ordered a stainless stovetop coffee percolator… can’t believe I didn’t have one already. Spoiled by the all-electric gadget, or instant in jars I guess. I’m living the life already, with plenty of alternatives. The fenceline squash are so plentiful I’m having them with nearly every meal. One would have to work at it to starve here in the jungles.

    • I use a Melita to make coffee. Make one cup or a put full. I like it much better than the coffee from a percolator.

    • ” I just ordered a stainless stovetop coffee percolator… can’t believe I didn’t have one already.”

      15 years ago, over about a one year period, I bought 5 RevereWare percolators off eBay. Everybody got one for their GO-bag in the yearly “survival shit” package. They work well for coffee or tea, on a stove or a campfire or anywhere in-between, and they’re efficient.

      Stainless is a really good idea…

  14. Since you signaled your thoughts on slowing down publishing it seems like the comments section has picked up. Looking through them it is obvious this is a well educated group with some serious skills and knowledge to share. Brings me to wonder if while not the same as Ure (sorry I had to) writings but say you were to just throw out a topic or two and let this august group have at it. Just a thought…..
    When I returned the POS cheapo night vision headgear I recently purchased,(what a piece of crap), I turned the cash around on a couple of Game cameras with cellular notification. The dogs have been acting odd lately so I spent the afternoon putting them up by the goats residences and the main gate. See what I catch tonight.
    Stay safe. 73

    • I’m interested in your results, particularly in the performance of your cameras. I’ve been using a Moultrie Delta Base (cell) camera on my gate for a couple of years, but its performance has deteriorated seriously. I just bought a Meidase S900 to replace it, but the trigger distance and speed doesn’t measure up to their hype.

  15. Ramaswamy suggested building a border wall with Canada during the debate last night.

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/vivek-ramaswamy-canada-border-wall-1.7023226

    From the article:

    “For context, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reports that two pounds of fentanyl have been seized in the northern border region this year.

    That represents approximately 0.0074 per cent of the 27,000 pounds seized overall, according to the agency’s figures.”

    Isn’t this Democrat kind of thinking?

    • This stuff can turn up ANYwhere. The more I think about it the more I wonder if I didn’t get a whiff of it in some old hot sauce we have in the fridge. They were the little plastic cups with covers you get at the fast food places and are HAND filled.

      SOMEthing got hold of me like nobody’s business yesterday and I thought it was either a stomach bug or food poisoning. I was light headed and dizzy as the dickens with a little bit of nausea for most of the morning until about 2:30 … aaaannd that was probably a good reason for me NOT to go up on the roof to pour some Drano down the vent pipe I suspected was clogged – but, der I wuz, sitting on the roof peak waiting for the Drano to work so I could pour the hot water down it. I’m sure people over at the school that may have seen me wondered what craziness I was up to this time. Fresh air helped but by the time I got down I was a real mess. The thing is I have yet to have any stomach cramps which has ALWAYS accompanied stomach bugs and food poisoning. I still don’t have any and there’s nothing making a mad dash through my digestive track to get to the outside as usually happens either. The hot sauce has been dumped but I’m still a little dizzy.

      I can’t emphasize the need to have some Narcan on hand that is easy to get to. You can NOT see this shit coming and it will kill you or someone close to you without this one and only line of defense against fentanyl.

      • Narcan will not work on fent. That’s one of the reasons its such a problem, its also 10 times more addictive than oxys, norcos and heroin. If that was in your sauce you would feel extremely euphoric depending on dosage. I have a family member that is just out of rehab and I can tell you fent is much worse than heroin. The amount of treatment meds they give her daily would put down a healthy grown man for days. This shit is no joke.

        • It’s the only thing I know of that they’re pushing to counteract fentanyl. Got any other suggestions? You have to use it quickly, though, before the drug shuts everything down in your body.

      • Gal at my favorite cstore found a baggie when she went to clean out the crapper. Just touching the bag made her feel as you report. When the manager got back to the store, the clerk was sent to the hospital and the cops who retrieved the baggie wore vinyl gloves and placed it in a plastic tub for removal.

        I didn’t ask the cops whether it leached through the plastic, or there was a residue on the outside of the bag — didn’t need to know — only needed to know that was some really bad shit…

    • LOL … He is an Ohio guy and the border with Canada for Ohio is Lake Erie. Obviously a VERY DANGEROUS BORDER with all the Canadians trying to sneak into the US … so he knows of what he speaks!

      I remember the old days of crossing the Lake Erie by boat and once you were back in the US you were supposed to report to the US Customs/Border people. Well most recreational people would come back on Sunday … but their office in Ohio that you were to report to (in Cleveland) was CLOSED on Sunday (and usually closed at 5 weekdays). It basically had a staff of 3, 1 guy worked ALL the recreational boats coming back from Erie PA to the MI/Ohio border and as he told me … “Give me a call on Monday .., IF YOU REMEMBER”. LOL

      Well after 9/11 the DHS decided that was a BAD border region, very dangerous, so along the lake they built 3(?) new buidings scattered along the lake, at about $8 million each, staffed them up with about 50 to 80 agents each, bought a bunch of high speed boats (and suburbans), and started patrolling the lake, but only on good weather days!! LOL (with 30 caliber machine guns mounted on the boats and those on board carrying M-16’s which they always openly displayed).

      What a joke. The Coast Guard (and got paid less) which went out in ALL weather conditions had many fewer boats, not nearly as new or nice except for the 2 or 3 small all weather boats they had plus a single ice breaker that usually sat in port in Cleveland, and while they maybe had an M-16 or two on board didn’t flash them around as a regular course of business.

      Sorry … imo NO border wall necessary on the Canadian Border and no need to even think about one until one is built the entire length of the Mexican Border … and is actually used to STOP PEOPLE from crossing.
