And based on the Mormons I know, they all have like 5-15 kids to help out on the apocofarm during the subsistence period.

Soyrizo is actually delicious and better than regular chorizo IMO. Not sure about that brand specifically though it looks somewhat sickly.

i think the fact that the cop was himself black made that interpretation less immediately obvious even allowing for racism inherent in the system

Robobot posted:Yes, as well he should be. There's a difference between a black bear you spook going through your garbage can and a black bear you encounter on it's own game trail hundreds of miles from civilization. This is true but you've kind of got it backwards. The black bear digging through your garbage may have been around people (stupid enough to feed it and approach it) long enough that it's lost its fear of us. This is how a lot of people end up attacked in cottage country, and if you call the MNR here in Ontario about one, they will straight-up tell you to shoot it so they can come pick up the body. Conversely a black bear that has never seen people before is basically a large raccoon. Dangerous if you wind up between it and its cubs, but not much otherwise, certainly not even close to a grizzly or polar bear. The Lone Badger posted:The mormons are no-poo poo actually some of the best-prepared people out there. Very strong community links plus a good amount of physical preparation (of actually useful stuff, not just hoards of guns). Yeah and they're building that huge colony spaceship to gently caress off to some other system.

Huh, I thought black bears were the opposite and the males in the wild that aren’t aware of people were the ones that you should avoid and the ones familiar with people were the ones you could “hey bear!” away from stuff. Never lived where there were bears though.

The same tactics are encouraged even if you think a bear might be a nuisance bear; I mean you don't want it to become more of a nuisance bear by being casual about it ripping open your garbage. With black bears, generally the best thing to do is make a lot of noise and make yourself look really big - if you're with other people, stand close together and wave your arms. They have really poor eyesight and will probably think you're one big creature. Even with nuisance bears, being persistent at this will usually get them to gently caress off. If it sees right through that and waddles up to you anyway, you might have a problem on your hands. I can't find it right now but there's that classic video of the Canadian oil workers on some derrick in the woods, and this black bear just won't leave them alone so they have to spray it. It's clearly going for this bag of trash they just have hanging from their deck; if I had to guess I'd say roughnecks probably aren't very smart about locking their food and waste up from bears.

I disagree with the church on a LOT of matters, but members of it are far more likely to survive doomsday than I am. They also tend to be very conservative as well as gun owners. There's PLENTY of the dangerous types of preppers described in this thread in Utah (some of which featured the shows that have been mentioned.) Southern Utah especially is packed with lots of far-right religious/political fundamentalist wackos. That being said, I think the church's practice of being prepared with food and water and provisions for general emergencies is good common sense, like you mentioned.

Nah it’s the ones habituated to humans that “hey bear” doesn’t work on. They’ve been around people and learned that we have a lot of tasty things to eat and that while we might make noise, we won’t hurt them. In the wild, the dangerous black bears are the young males who sometimes see humans as prey, plus mothers protecting their cubs. That cop from Alone was plopped right into the territory of a mother with cubs. The first few seasons of Alone were terrible about placing participants. One of them had no source of fresh water and becomes delirious from drinking brackish water.

(See First Presidency letter, Jan. 20, 2002.) Hell yeah they are

Basically Mormons believe that even saints such as themselves will have to go through the tribulations before they actually go to heaven. Other faiths think the troubles will only apply to everyone else and they get to go to heaven in advance.
