Everyone prepping always talks about “investing in lead”. People also talk about raising wheat germ or starting a worm farm using duct tape or somehting of the sort for surviving the apocolypse. I think those strategies are seriously flawed. You can run out of bullets and by that time you’re already too much in the thick of it in my opinion.
What I would do is live on a mountain in like West Virginia or something and have skunks that always realease their skunk odor downwind. I think that works better because people just avoid the general area altogether.
Why not just surround your homestead with hogweed? It looks like Queen Anne’s lace, which is not irritating, but this stuff can leave people with serious rashes and even chemical burns.
That’s a really good idea. It might be listed as a noxious weed though in West Virginia.
The thing with skunks that I like is that you can’t cut the odor down, like you could cut a plant down. It’s just in the air and its hard to escape, people would just avoid it.
My area seems to be going through a skunk invasion–every few miles driving along the highway you see or smell a dead one. My cousin recently counted 13 on a relatively short drive. I don’t know WTF is up with that.
I’m making booze if there is an apocalypse. I’ll be able to drink away the pain, clean wounds, and make molotov cocktails. Nothing solves a skunk problem like burning down their neighborhood.
