Gday Gday Gday,
after arranging transport for next ground crew meeting thanks again to Relayers goodwill, plus he has a working vehicle, and so did l until 10.30 friday trying to exit from shopping at bunnings, six hrs later it was towed home in need of some troubleshooting and remedy. A work in progress.

On a seperate issue yet somehow relevant l think, is my personal preference that we may consider renaming the Vic Ground Crew to something similar yet not so allied to the insect life, (GROUND), l would like to suggest several variations for consideration by there other members titles such as THE VIC ABOVE GROUND CREW, or perhaps the VIC FEET ON THE GROUND CREW, l appreciate the desire to maintains the founders terminology unfortunately for me word groups oftimes get oversimplfied for conveniance and as is already obvious to myself the overall level of intellect among the current VIC members doesnt require to much oversimplfication to enable some grasp of the intentions of the terminology used eg GROUND CREW, kind of suggests being treated rather like a coffee bean, food for thought or should that be drink for thought, unless of course you view us as the landing force from some type of Airbourne assembly which l guess some would happily ascend too in concept at least, can l waffle on or can l waffle on.

Next topic l would like to offer for consideration is the materail the ART fondly expressed to me during our last meet, significant without a doubt therefore l wish to draw all your attention to his most important topic discused last meet. WE ALL NEED TO PLACE A LOT OF FOCUS AND INTENT TOWARDS OUR PERSONAL STATE OF HEALTH AND FITNESS, if we are sincerely intent on surviving in ordainary let alone extraordainary circumstances eg SHTF scenario's as l'm sure you all appreciate even some minor disruption to the services we have come to take for granted would severely impact on most of us, if we had to walk any real distance in too much of a hurry let alone run for our lifes many of us for be totaly doomed from the onset, l would therefore like to reccomend that we request if wiling that ART speak to us all with regards these afforementioned matter e.g physical health/diet/excercise, and hopfully share with us all as a group his personally succes in turning himself around from appearing rather unfit like myself into the mean machine that he is, without the mean part of course.

PREPARE OR DIE,
that heading forms the backround for the next topic l wish to address to the vic group l'm personaly trying to aviod typcasting us as simply ground crew for reasons previously stated, to the chase now which is the emphasis on matters such as food and water add to that issues pertaining to personal and domestic security as an addition to being pysically/mentally capable for a SHTF scenario we also need to consider at the very least itemizing and obtaining as individuals enough food/water/medical sufficent to carry us through a minimum of 4 weeks prefferably 3-6mths althought the 3-6 mths could well be beyond the resources of many, never the less if any of us really consider any of the SHTF scenarios as being even remotely possible we our it to ourselves and those we hope to assist (e.g loved ones) to have some essential supplies prefferably also some type of camping gear, as well, in terms of what type of food supplies /camping gear to obtain as well as what sort of security measures should we seriously consider l would hope that pertanant information may be bridged at our next meeting, as well the hope to reccomend the most affordable yet practical options. Still allowing for us individually to accesorise accordingly.


OK PEOPLE HOPEFULY LVE GIVEN YOU ALL SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT WITHOUT TAKING YOU TO FAR OF TRACK.


cheers sirdiablo69

PS l really must insist and l do mean insist that all VIC members read the personal account of one man living in what could only be described as a nightmarish society created to a large extent by a mere economic collapse, l AM NOT RECCOMENDING THAT WE FOLLOW THE SAME PATH NOR THAT WE LOSE SIGHT OF ALL THE GOOD WE HAVE NOR ALL THE GOOD WE CAN BECOME. l do insist none the less you all read as much of his account that can cope to read, if only to have some perspective as to how bad our would could become and he is a survivor in an ugly society by our current standards. Please to remember that good still does exist although unfortunately he tends to neglect mentioning any of the remaining good in his world. e.g his loving wife/children/friends etc.
