Redneck Guide to Emergency Prepardness

Post by OakRidgeStars »

This is probably redundant, given the membership here, but I thought it would be nice to hear you post about which number on the list you invented. I invented #2 on the list. Heck, I already have the size 14 work boots.

And if you have any good recipes for tree rat, post 'em here too.

HMMPH! That guy may be a redneck wannabe, but he obviously ain't no redneck.

I think that it is ment as a bit of humor, but he does have a point or two about the vehicles and the boats. My bass boat has sat in the back yard ever since I got the pontoon almost 4 years ago. It is getting moved in April though as my Dad say he wants it to crappie fish with (it happens to have a Johnson 100 2-stroke on it as well). As far as the Guns and ammo I think that we all are guilty of that here. Yes I have 2 dogs one a Shepard and Husky mix and the other a Golden retriever mix and they are very protective of the house and yard. My Minivan has needed a new transmission for over a year now and has sat in the driveway waiting. I have a Dodge Dakota 4x4 and a Ford F150 4x4 as well as the wifes car. I hunt and fish to put meat in the freezer and generaly enjoy the outdoors. I have been known to kill tree rats and fluffy bunnies for my supper.

Does this all make me a Redneck I would not have thought so, but who knows?

"Redneck", I have discovered, is a relative term. Ask any Massachusetts attorney, and he'd probably classify me as a redneck. Shoot, I own and carry guns, I live in a beat up old motor home, I have an aversion to shaving, and my girlfriend drives an 18-wheeler. Also, I typically speak with a southern drawl.

On the other hand, most country boys will tell you that I'm a city boy.

I reckon that they're both partly right.

I need a truck. I've got the funds, I'm searching Craigslist, and the papers, but i have a particular want... Soooo Searching i go.


Plus? My Jewish Ethnicity has me hesitant to pull the trigger on the funds... It's nice, having the funds, for rain and such (Said in "Fiddler on the Roof" voice)

Whether you're a *true* redneck or not - those are some pretty impressive qualifications! :clap:

I spent 3 months with my camper parked in Wal-Mart's parking lot. I wanted, so very badly, to sit out side my door with my feet in a kiddy pool and a cold beer in my hand. Probably could have made the People of Wal-Mart website, lol.

Lol, ORS...

Sorry, I'm not the Holy Roller. But, I would definitely go hang out with him. I imagine that the theological discussion would be most interesting. While traveling with the carnival, I worked with a couple of Holy Rollers in an old school bus. They were probably the only people there who were nicer and more polite than me.

"Chew is important because it counts towards your daily supply of vegetables."

I've been telling my wife this for a while now, she doesn't buy it.

Compared to most of my co-workers I am a huge redneck, and I don't even own a pickup.

I agree that rednecks are very handy in emergency situations but this was more redneck stereotype than anything else in my opinion. Still funny however...

Hmm well my brother runs his FIL's carney amusement park and he has no record. Sadly he is trapped in the peoples republic of Kalifornia.

Chewing tobacco - that should have come up long since in any informed discussion of rednecks, I reckon.

I know whereof you speak. SWMBO's been fussin' about my chewing for as long as we've been married. But I don't do it at home or at work - just while huntin', fishin', golfing, shooting, and driving. I just about can't drive without a chaw.

And an old huntin' buddy once told me a good chaw of terbakky is a handy thing sometimes:
- It's a good excuse to go outside if you're of a mind to,
- you can break a dog of dang near anything if you spit down its throat just ONE time,
- You can bite down hard and/or it's handy to spit on the ground if you're trying not to cuss,
- And last but not least, there ain't a state cop on the top side of this earth that will smell your breath OR smack your face if'n you got a big nasty chaw in your mouth.

Redneck? ME? I'm just a good ole boy, too.
