7 More Overly Reckless Things to Do Before TEOTWAWKI

A ways back, I wrote a 7 Things list about 7 Overly Reckless Things to Do Before TEOTWAWKI, where I listed seven things you may wanna get out of the way before the end of mankind lol. Due to the dangerous nature of many of them, it would make little sense to participate in these activities once doctors aren't readily available.


1. Cliff Diving - This is the only thing on either of these lists that I've actually done haha, what a boring life I've lived, even though none of these activities particularly scare me. As far as cliff diving goes I've topped out at seventy fivish feet...and it was awesome. But from my 75 foot impact without a hitch I could see how easily this could go way wrong. And videos on AFV and the Internet a like, have shown me that water can mess you up pretty bad haha. So even though you may find yourself in a situation after TEOTWAWKI where you may NEED to leap off a cliff maybe in a desperate act of self preservation, you should go do this one act maybe tomorrow, or the weekend or something.

2. Base Jumping - In the movie Along Came Polly, Ben Stillers character described base jumping as one of the most dangerous things a human being can do, and without sounding too much like a scaredy cat, I have to agree with him. Base jumping is pretty much a combination a cliff diving and skydiving. The bases in base jumping can be anything from mountain faces to skyscrapers, pretty much anything that gives enough free fall time to deploy you parachute and not die. It's not hard to see why this would be something you should do before there aren't doctors or brand new equipment available.

3. Luging (street or ice) - ice luging as seen on the winter olympics is essentially riding on your back on a rocket sled down a waterslide-like track of speed and danger. Street luging is very similar, but you're sledding down the hills on you back on a sled that kinda resembles a fancy skateboard. Goes without saying, that this, especially street luging is insanely dangerous and should. Be avoided post SHTF, unless maybe you need too make a quick evac from a more dangerous situation. Wiping out a speeds approaching 100mph can lead to serious injury, impending infection, and maybe even death are highly probable. Death from impact at this speed is also very probable. Try to avoid head on impacts, goes without saying right lol.

4. Riding a Bull - Who doesn't want to get a raging psychotic of an animal and ride it as its trying to violently buck you off it's back so that it may kill you in retribution for humiliating it. I don't know if you know this, but bulls are massively huge animals that are especially amassed with huge gigantic muscles, all concentrating on killing you. Bull riders the world over find out exactly what the bull wants to do to them all the time. Bull riders get stomped on, kicked, thrown and even gored for their efforts. So if you must go 2.7 seconds on a bull named fumanchu, get'er done before the economy collapses or Yellowstone erupts.

5. Hang Gliding - even though I think hang gliding may be one of the dangerous things we do now, that would be very useful for alternative transportation after the apocalypse, it still is a very dangerous venture. Riggings fail, and winds do strange things, and this planet is riddled with trees and mountains and even the remaining buildings may get fatally in your way. If you were one that may try and use this method of transport after the fall of society, you may want to go and get very apt at doing it before the shit hits.


7. Swimming with Sharks/Cave Scuba - because I couldn't decide which of these two overly dangerous things involving scuba gear would make the list I kept them both as a group based on the scuba aspect of them both. Swimming with sharks is one of those things that people look at as insane, but usually it involves cages and overly trained handlers and whatnot. Traversing through underwater caves via scuba is considered one of the most dangerous things a human being can do, due to the chances of getting lost in the mazes of caves and dying once your oxygen runs out. So get these and all your other scuba related dreams out of the way, because I'm pretty sure you're gonna have a pretty hard time refilling oxygen tanks after the grids down.

So that concludes the second 7 Overly Reckless Things You Should Do Before TEOTWAWKI, if you haven't read the first click HERE. And if you liked this or the other, check out the other 7 Things Lists by clicking here or by clicking on the tab at the top of the blog. So now that they are both posted, that's fourteen overly reckless things you need to get done before the shit hits, let's hope someone does. And if you are one of those people that have done everything on both lists let me know about it.

7 Overly Reckless Things to Do Before TEOTWAWKI

We live in a reckless time, and because none of us are asked to be primal or responsible anymore we do insanely messed up dangerous things in order to feel alive. This list is a small list of those things that maybe you want to do before the EOTWAWKI for safeties sake. So in no discernible order here's that list.

1. Skydiving - generally thought of as the grand poobah of reckless endangerment, skydiving is on just about every bucket list out there for one reason...you're jumping out of plain high up in the sky! While we are all told that skydiving isn't as dangerous as we believe, stuff goes wrong. Especially when you factor in surviving the fall lol. We have all heard the stories and watched the video footage of people plummeting to the argh and living to tell the tale. As terrifying as dying during a skydiving accident would be, surviving the perilous fall post-SHTF would be more terrifying, especially for anyone in your party. Where do you take your smashed up friend when there is no hospitals? To the nearest hole in the ground, that's where. Not to mention the most obvious reason this would have to be an addition to your "get it done before the fall" list, the plane, chances are that there isn't going to be a lot of operational planes after TEOTWAWKI.

2. Bungee Jumping - while bungee jumping isn't exactly a new idea, the notion of doing such a thing terrifies most of us and intrigues a small percentage of us. Even though, when asked, people consider bungee jumping a more likely activity they would spontaneously participate in over it's overly excitable plungtastic cousin skydiving, few actually go through with it. The thought of the cord snapping and hurtling us toward the ground with nothing but our faces to break the fall, scares the bejesus out of us. While there haven't been very many fatalities from bungee jumping mishaps, many injuries have occurred even from "successful" jumps. Many of these injuries not exactly bad, but in a post SHTF scenario could prove fatal. So bungee jumping is very much a pre-SHTF bucket list adventure.

3. Mountain Climbing (For Fun)- even though post apocalyptic wastelanders will nodoubtedly be doing some mountain traversing, but for fun? Probably not unless that wastelander actually had a death wish. Why? Mountains are tall, and if you fall off one, you usually die. Weird thing about mountains, not only are they tall, but usually made out of rocks, hard, jagged, skull crushing rock. Slipping and falling pre-SHTF is bad enough, slipping in the post is pretty damn bad if I dont say so myself. Also, pre-SHTF you could have a team of pros guiding you and taking care of you and making sure you don't die. Also, with the pros comes professional equipment. You know as well as I do, that by the time you're needing to climb a mountain post apocalypse you will have long past used all you para cord as shoe lace replacements, and will be using your homemade braided vine rope to climb your post-EOTWAWKI Everest.

4. Running With The Bulls - after the end of the world as we know it, you would probably only find your self running with the bulls in an effort to kill one for food, but before the collapse of society you wanna get it done to fully embrace life. One little known fact about bulls is that they a really huge and very aggressive lol, so armed with that knowledge you can safely bet that the probability of injury when participating in this long running tradition could possibly lead to you being trampled or even gored, injuries one doesn't want after Armageddon.

5.
White Water Rafting - another one of those tasks you may just find yourself doing after the collapse of civilization, but again not for fun. Hard rocks again and raging waters this time, scary stuff when there's no one to fix you. Relying only on your basic understanding of biology and first aid, and using nothing but your basically useless beginners first aid kit, may be a little hard to swallow, but that's life post-SHTF. Nobody likes drowning, but after it all goes sideways, they may not be anyone to mouth to mouth resuscitate you.

6. Rolling Down a Hill in a Tire - a favorite past time of many the children over the years, dying down now that kids don't go outside anymore. Doing it now would be prudent, as it's wildly dangerous. Getting inside a tractor tire and flinging yourself down a hill, may sound easy peasy, but you're spinning at a phenomenal rate and have no real control over yourself or the tire, and that could lead to your demise if you have no one around when you're doing it. Not that I can think of a logical reason for you to be rolling down a hill in a tire post apocalypse haha.

7. Arrow roulette - a favorite event from SNL alumni riddled Adam Sandler joint "Grown Ups" arrow roulette is game where a group of guys (because only guys would be this dumb) get in a group and one of them shoots an arrow straight up in the air, the object is to be the last man to leave the area. I would imagine that stuff like this was being done by tribesmen thousands of years ago to prove their manhood, but with nobody to fix the impending hole in your body, you may wanna get this one out of the way now.

And because as a species we do sooooo many crazy things, while writing this post I came up with too many things for one article, so you can look forward to "7 More Overly Reckless Things to Do Before TEOTWAWKI" later in the week. If you haven't already and like this post, up at the top of the blog (or in the pull down menu if you're on a mobile browser), click on the "7 Things Lists" tab to find more outlandish 7 Post Apocalyptic Things Lists. Thanks for reading this, and don't forget to communicate by leaving a comment in the comment section below. Until next time here's hoping you can get all seven of these overly reckless things done before the shit hits.

7 Things To Do Before You Can't Due to TEOTWAWKI

This 7 Things list is a list of the seven things you should do now, that you won't be able to do if the collapse of society occurrs. From lack of materials to lack of power to the shutdown of the supply chain, these are the seven things to do while you still can.


1. Roller coasters - riding a roller coaster is something that millions of people do everyday all over the world, but one day it'll become the last day anyone does. So before that day comes, if your a roller coaster enthusiast or even if you're not, try going on at least one or all of the top ten biggest fastest meanest most puke-tastically awesome roller coasters in the world, or at least in your area. Roller coasters are one of those simply terrifying things that we think will always be there if we want it, and sadly, if things keep going downward like they are, one day they'll stop running. So go be a badass and ride the lightening.

2. Fly a plane - Something that a lot of people dream of doing one day and never do, is flying a plane. Our modern society makes it pretty darn easy for one to do such a thing, you don't even have to learn how to fly or even get a license...you can just buy time to fly once the pilot has done all the hard taking off and ascending bologna. Flying a plane is one of those amazing things we take for granted that we can just do if we want to. If its something that you've dreamed of doing, you should go do the research and find out where in your area they'll allow you to fly for a bit supervised, or go the next step and actually get your license and fly like a boss lol.

3. Skydiving/Wingsuiting - because these two are essentially the same thing yet different I've combined them into one "thing" on this list. Again because of the lack of airplanes this would be one of the first things we do that would become nearly impossible to do after TSHTF. So if you feel like jumping out of a plane, especially if you never have, you better get on it, you may very well be running out o time to do such a thing. fairly new and in the same category as skydiving, wing suiting is jumping out of a plane not with a parachute, but wearing a wing suit, that essentially allows you to fly, like the flying squirrels do. Giving your body webbing between your appendages so that you can glide through the air like you're floating.

4. Talk to Someone From Every Time Zone in One Day - because we live in a highly technological age, we are eternally linked in with the rest of the world, from twitter, to Facebook, to unlimited long distance calling, we are always within a thought of communicating with anyone in the world. But eventually, if the lights go out, that access disappears in an instant. One of the most amazing things we are capable of doing and don't is the ability to talk to someone in every time zone in one day. Now I don't know if anyone has ever done it, but this is something that we all should at least attempt while we still can because one day it may become something we dream about being ale to do again one day.

5. Have a Big Mac - Like Woody Harrelsons characters neverending quest for twinkie in Zombieland, that familiar comfort food that you just can't get anymore, the Big Mac may be one of those mass produced foods that when TSHTF disappears in the blink of an eye. So maybe you could add some Big Macs to your preps in the form of frozen burgers in your freezer. We all know from countless Internet photos of McDonalds food not decomposed after like four years, so maybe we use that knowledge to our advantage lol. You old be the last human being to eat a Bog Mac haha.

6. Plastic Surgery - we live in a material world and there are a lot of material made girls lol. Plastic surgery is definitely something, if you want it done, that you should get done before the shit hits. Plastic surgery has very good success rates now in comparison to say twenty years ago, but deaths and dismemberments still occur. So throw in the lack of clean working spaces and materials, shady post apocalyptic doctors and plain old nefarious liars, and that's a recipe for you dying. So you think that bigger boobs will help you score that post collapse wasteland sugar daddy to protect you from the hordes of rapey marauders, then get it done now, don't wait for the fall to try and hook yourself up with fun bags to impress. Infection of the humpty dumplings ain't gonna help you with anything.

7. Go to space - As far as things on this list of things to do before you can't, going to space is the most unlikely for you to be able to do...at least at this time. For years now the aerospace industry has been trying to create a space tourism industry, but costs and logistics have really slowed that market. And even if they get to the point where people can regularly go to space on their own dime, it will more than likely be for a lot more dimes than most of us have to toss into the wind for a short jaunt into the heavens, but, if you did have the means and the opportunity, you'd be crazy not to go...now wouldn't you.

Now with all that said, go out and do all of these if they are your list of things you ever wanna do, because who knows, you may not have much more time to do so. And as usual with all these lists, if you or someone you know has done all seven things, let me know...especially this list, what with going to space being one of them lol. So good luck on your list completion and hopefully you get it all done before the shit hits.

7 Types of People Who the End of the World Would Suck More For

So a while back I wrote a post called Seven Types of People the End of the World Would Suit Better And I thought that it was so much fun, that I decided to write the companion piece to it and explain several types of people that I think it would suck to be after TEOTWAWKI due to whom they are or special circumstances they may have or encounter. When TSHTF, these people are going to need our help, maybe we should figure out which ones to help.

1. Gay men - as if it wasn't hard enough on gay men before TEOTWAWKI, but after the SHTF gay men are going to have all kind of problems. On top of all the regular reasons it's bad to be a gay man like, homophobia, anti gay religious folk, sexually promiscuous life partners...not enough shopping hours lol, They will have post apocalyptic issues as well, the biggest of them being this, finding a guy to meet your needs when every man is shooting at each other to survive. Hard enough to find that gay guy in our world now, but throw in cholera, and looters, neighbors shooting at you, and everyone dressing in such drab attire lol, how's a sista supposed to find his queen.

2. Ethnic Groups - as I stated in a previous post (7 types of people...) racists are gonna have their way with the world after the apocalypse. So on the flip side to this, is the races that racists will oppress. Ethnic groups all over the country or world if that's the way it went, would have the depressing disposition of having to deal with all the racists going willy mildly all over this place lol. So the ethics will have a few things they could do to combat this problem, and one of those things is proactive combat. "Be aggressive be be aggressive" shall be the mantra of the oppressed ethnic person. Attack before you be attacked. Chances are the minority of you choice will not be able to definitively "tell" if someone is a raging racist from afar, so I would imagine a lot of "friendly" "non racist" waste landers are gonna be shot by fearful minorities. Another thing they could do is commingle with other non racist non minority groups and work together to protect the group. Also, another option would be to run or hide, or run and hide lol...it has served a lot of people throughout history and it could still work in the post apocalyptic waste land. But hey, who am I to judge, I'm a visible minority so choices will have to made at some point lol.

3. Rich People - pretty obvious that rich people, while well off at first, what with all the endless amounts of money and endless people to help them build whatever they need to protect themselves, they could even hire people to be a protection detail after the fall, but eventually all the money will either disappear in the over inflated barter market after the TSHTF, or could draw unwanted attention to your compound, stronghold or homestead. And that's something none of us want. So being rich will be something that will get old fast after society falls. Also, a lot of rich people, especially heirs of rich people tend to not be all that great at doing actual stuff, you know what I mean. No useful or discernible skill sets lol. Sure your good with money and can rock a mean stock portfolio, but can you build stuff? Fix stuff? Can you even cook?

4. Astronaut - I've often, often I say like I've even been thinking about the end of the world long enough for there to be an often, but anyway I digress, often I have thought of how much it would suck to be an astronaut in the international station when TSHTF, imagine you're on the space station and looking at the earth from far above, and with out warning you see the violent explosion of a nuclear weapon followed by another, and another...then more further away and more and the world is slowly yet very quickly being pummeled from all sides. You're witnessing the end of the world and your stuck miles above the earth...then the thought, "what the hell do we do now?" you could get in the shuttle and make your way back to earth, but whee to go, what to do when you get there? I mean you can't stay on the space station, unless you just feel like dying and wanna do it somewhere non radioactive. So being an astronaut in space when it happens would suck a bit, granted, but the view of the end of the world couldn't be better, you'd be one of the first people to fully grasp the reach of the event. I would imagine that I would want to come back to earth and at let try to recover my family, but that's just me.

5. Advertising guy - people have frequently hated on people in advertising world. You're watching a commercial and thinking that it is so bad and meaningless and not enticing you to buy the product at all, you may not even know what the product is...you think like I do, that you can't believe that someone actually got paid to have that idea, write that idea down, present it to another useless advertising person, who sells the idea to another douchebag, who pays someone to film the garbage and all the actors that act the crap...yet it's the dumbest nonsensical bullshit you've ever seen. How did this garbage get on my tv? Advertising guys. It's not heir fault that they don't know, they're all useless and they are all running themselves so it'll never fix itself lol. So because of this, they'll never survive after the int of needing to know stuff.

6. The last guy to pay for something before the shit hit - added this guy in because about a week after TSHTF if he survives, he's gonna realize that he may have been the last human being to pay for stuff before all hell broke loose. The rioting breaks out and everyones getting everything for free, and you, you're walking around with a receipt. Just a simple who it sucks to be, but I think it's kind of funny.

7. Women - for many obvious reasons it's going to suck after the end occurs. I don't want to conventionalize all the forward motion women have made over the decades, but when lawlessness is upon us it's gonna suck to be a lady, especially hot chicks. I mean sure, if you can latch yourself on to a strong dude or group of dudes with your hotness, all the more power to ya. But every book or movie that depicts a post apocalyptic world with people roaming the wasteland says, it's not safe for girls and women, because lets face it, we live in a rapey world now, will all the laws that exist and all the enforcers of those laws can't stop the insane amount of raping that is going on on this planet. If you were from another planet and visited here even for a short time, you would have to ascertain that we as a race loooooooove to rape each other, like its our favorite past time, forget baseball and apple pie, we love raping or being raped or watching people raping people while being raped....we're messed up, and that's now! After TEOTWAWKI dudes will be lucky to not get raped, chicks are gonna just have to live with its likelihood. So aside from the rape, women also have feminine hygiene issues that as time moves on will become more and more difficult to deal with. Also, being that bra sizes have gone up one whole cup size over the last decade alone, boobies are gonna get in the way. From shooting to running to squeezing into hiding spots, boobies a gonna be a distinctive disadvantage to women. I recommend a really good sports bra now. Go get two dozen of the best sports bra for your boobies and shove them all into your bug out bag, cause trust me....gonna help a whole bunch.


So that's my second list on this blog, hope you enjoyed, let me know if you can think of any other types of people that it would suck to be after TEOTWAWKI and who knows, maybe I'll compile another list in the future. These lists are fun to do because you can be serious and funny in the same post and it matters not. Hope you stop by for future list, don't forget to leave comments, I love hearing from like minded people all over the world. Here's to hearing from you again, and hopefully the shit doesn't hit before it.

Seven Types of People the End of the World Would Suit Better

It occurred to me recently that there are definite groups of people that would fair better if not prosper greatly from the SHTF. So I came up with a few off the top of my head that I figure would find the freedom of post apocalyptic world agreeable. So no sense in wasting time and we can delve right into that aforementioned list.


1. Racists - racists like being racist and its also one of the things about society now, that people aren't going to be as judgey about after the event. Sure people aren't going to like racists but holy cow, we have bigger worries than why we're trying to kill each other. So racists will be able to hate all those damn lazy ethnic groups that steal our jobs all they want....hey they could even do anything they want to said minority groups...OMG an ethnic person could even do anything THEY want to do to a white person, and no one would even try to care....because again...we have bigger worries right now.

2. Polygamist - having as many wives as you want will not only be overlooked after the apocalypse, it will probably become more of a norm, what with more women needing men's protection from manic marauders, land pirates and inner city gangs wandering around looking for the next vaginalike orifice they encounter. Every story I've read thusly has mentioned how everyone either believes or knows that girls and women should not travel the wasteland alone. So it seems only inevitable that strong and able men may likely take on more than one spouse out of obligation to protect them. Also when you think further, that more wives will help the provider male prosper further that their will be more people to help with maintaining the fort and even increase food production (ie gardening etc) and food preservation (ie canning etc). A mutual arrangement for all parties involved... Maybe lol.

3. Thieves - it goes without saying that people that were great at stealing before the apocalypse will more than likely be great at stealing after the apocalypse. So even though we all frown Jon thievery now, knowing a good thief or even being a good thief may benefit you greatly when the shit hits the fan. However...downside, you may lose your hands or worse.

4. Used Car Salesman - now I don't mean they have to be an actual used car salesman...but those snakey dudes that can sell anything... You know the guys they say could sell ice to an Eskimo and whatnot. Anyone with half a brain knows that after a few weeks all the money in your bank account isn't gonna amount to much, be more valuable to you as toilet paper....actually toilet paper will actually be more valuable than money after a few weeks of no one making it anymore lol. So having the natural ability to haggle and or barter for your needs is going o be super valuable....whereas not being able to get that lady at that garage sale last weekend to knock fifty cents of that snow cone maker machine...that's bad...you're gonna starve.

5. Pimps - talk about a growth industry with nothing in our way. No one to tell you to stop beating your girls, no one to get in the way of you distributing your girls ahem "good" wherever you deem a good place to market your product. The will probably even be more ladies willing to take up the life for the added likelihood of keeping fed and protected under you pimphood than out own their own where they may have to either get way less payment for the goods...or worse have to give for free without you strong arming ways to get them top dollar without the threat of violence. So if you think you have what it takes, keep your pimphand strong and load up on fancy hats lol.

6. Garbage Man - don't you scoff, garbage men take all the stuff we think is garbage now away, so in the aftermath of whatever happens, who's gonna know where all the forgotten gold is... That's right...the garbage men. Not to mention, they have those cool trucks that you could use to crush your enemies...literally, violent yes, but probably necessary for creating a terrifying alter persona.

7. Historian - yes, you heard correctly...the historian. Whilst this profession isn't exactly thought highly of now...being that we really don't live in an era rich with actually historical events, after a breakdown everything is historical again. This new world historian will probably be someone who is either a documentary film maker, or a blogger, or a newsman who wasn't covering the "event". But I think we will have learned from the original dark ages, that this shit needs to be documented. There isn't much known of the six or so centuries that encompass the dark ages because no one thought to keep track of all the awe fullness that it was, so historians all over the globe juts guess what happned then lol....so hopefully after the shit hits, there will be a few of us that document what we see....hey, storytellers used to get paid to tell the tales of what they had seen on the journeys by townspeople that had no better entertainment than the stories of travelers.


So as you can see, my list is more jokingly poking fun at fringe societal groups, but kinda a little seriously at the same time. I think a few of the more insidious groups mention in the list WILL actually enjoy their newfound freedom, but the is no real stopping that....we can barely manage that now. I may make other lists like this in the future, or make other st continuing this list as I come up with more ideas. I hope you (whomever you may be) have enjoyed a little taste of how I view things in y head....just a couple thoughts that TEOTWAWKI conjure up in my messed up brain pan. Until next post, here's hoping your ready if the shit hits.
