Read it all. Huh. Thanks Joe.Originally Posted by red442joe
For some reason, PF's Jim Costa comes to mind.
That, and the ultimate post-apocalypse survival novel - Lucifer's Hammer (Niven/Pournelle, 1977)
Time for thinking.. and a little Chivas. Or maybe a lot. Of both.

Everybody should, imo.
I read it in 1980 - and it literally set me on this path... and I've never looked back.
You think you're ready for what's coming?? You're not.

Funny, I never thought of Lucifer's Hammer as a survival story but I guess it is. I should re-read it since it has been about 30 years since I read it last. The most memorable scene in the whole book to me was the surfer riding the nasty wave through downtown L.A. and getting "swatted like a bug". I still laugh out loud when I think of it!

I have it in my kindle library, and rereading it. I'm at the spot where the 2 scientists are comparing the meteor to a mile wide hot fudge sundae, during an interview.

Great book! I think I felt the most sympathy for the gynecologist (who they referred to as "p*ssy doctor) held captive by the black army. He knew he was going in the stewpot as soon as they found a better doc.Funny, I never thought of Lucifer's Hammer as a survival story but I guess it is.

For me, my turning point was when Randall was last minute prepping - and realized exactly what that meant:
You can never have 'enough'. It's not possible to have 'enough'.
From the go, my mindset landed on skills rather than acquisition.
I became a hunter, not a gatherer.
It was a necessary switch 6 years ago when I first went up the mountain.
Like a babe in the woods, I had to learn about being a 'gatherer'... and why I joined PF.
First thing I stocked up on was pepper. Thanks, Harvey Randall.
