Why You Need A Warehouse

[A Man on Fire]

Happy Freedom Day Niggers.

I’m starting a thread on why you should have a warehouse. I’m not talking about a pussy “Mancave” (those got co-opted by ”Shesheds” and other stupid girl stuff). A warehouse is a place where men can do manly things: woodworking, car fixing, having a personal gym so you can get all Chad-ed up, store all your prepping needs, guns, etc. Having a warehouse is awesome because you can do all kinds of stuff that your wife/significant other doesn’t need to know about. It’s a place to have stuff you’ll need when shit goes down and it’s happening.

Where should your warehouse be? A good question, there are two answers: either close enough to your home that you can spend time there daily, or else far enough away from the city niggers that want to take your shit when it goes down.

“But I’m a poor pajeet and I can’t afford a warehouse!” Ok, do you have friends? If you don’t have friends you don’t really deserve to live, but assuming you do have friends put together a tontine for the apocalypse and get a warehouse together. With enough people it would only cost a couple hundred bucks a month.

Maybe this should be moved to the Land/Realestate thread?

When all else fails: Vote from the rooftops.

You mean a garage?

If a She-Shed has all the shit you need it works just fine. I think most people just use their garage though.

Yeah in the UK we don't have the room for that.

My end goal is to find some abandoned place and use that. There's a lot of old mines across England which could be converted.

you're just going to squat in some fucking urban warehouse and put your tools there? maybe startup whatever the UK counterpart to an IRS tax exempt fraternity organization is and go in with several people.

I have a garage that I use as a mancave. It has stereo equipment, a video game machine, guitars, and a nice couch for when my wife kicks me out of bed. A warehouse by my definition is a property away from your living space that can get messy, and has tools and stuff for making stuff irl. It’s a place to touch grass. It also helps to keep it away from your spouse because you don’t want her knowing whatever you’re into. Also, it should be bigger than a garage. Multifunctional is the watchword. Ultimately, you want to be able to make a buck or two off it.

You're optimistic with "warehouse" - there are mines, Victorian-era trainlines - plus, I can keep most of the tools separate. I've got a lot of plans but it's actually entirely possible for me to get pretty much everything done by just building the framework and adjusting the tools for different tasks.

There's a few places nearby me where I know, full-well, I can just fortify it and build a hidden entrance.

Yes, there are a number of fraternal organizations where men get together to do woodworking stuff, drink beer etc. I have a partner who is a designer/architect so we are taking it up a notch and building furniture etc. We own property in Mexico and Joshua Tree for if it goes down. Not too many firearms, but we can bug out with our families.

Fellow Bong here - no old mines are not useful they flood and take effort to maintain and come with a whole host of problems, there is however a lot of cheap small industrial space if you know where to look - I have a frend who has a small foundry based in a old mechanics garage, I also have a friend running a machine shop inside a defunct church, you just have to be creative they have often been available to rent for a long time so are cheap and after a while you can offer to buy them at a really cut rate.

There's a fair few where there are "entryways" which go rather deep, without going into the mine itself. Likewise for railway tunnels.

Old garages and churches and the like are on the radar, too.

The problem is flooding an water tables with mines, it's not just your surface table but the ones under it that matter with mines - I have on my property a suspected 16th century mine entrance but floods and makes a small field unusable and the entrace is on the side of a small hill that is on land already fairly above sea level, Railway tunnels have there own issues and a lot of that is the upkeep of the archways, that is extremely expensive unless you are running a place in a archway under a active railway where BR take an active maintenance roll.

Also tunnels flood, they also River, Tunnels especially old tunnels do have a incline in them BUT they also had drains that havent been maintained so end up flooding and are damp and often dont ventilate well.

Buildings are built fora reason an occupying spaces like Tunnels mines etc are not viable for a reason.

Yeah I was gonna fix that.

The mines suffer from, well, having their own pressure gradients. Rain anywhere uphill will start pushing down on it, and pushing water upwards. So as long as you're at a high point, you'll be alright.

Fuck the warehouse. Get 2 seacans pour a pad between them and put a roof over it. You can get seacans for anywhere from $2-10 grand, technically, it won't be a permanent structure so shouldn't need permits or anything.

Depends on where you live. If you’re even semi-urban you don’t want Chuds creeping around. Stuff like tools and the like, anything portable, is fodder for thieves looking to sell stuff to pawnshops to feed their drug habit.

 

[ObeseScreamingBlackMan]

If/when I buy land up north I'm definitely going to have a big pole barn.

That's why you put big garage doors on it with hefty locks.

This is nice regardless of the apocalypse.

I know people who do this for project cars: have a (specialty?) warehouse split between some other gearheads, and similar for artists. Some other friends pooled together and bought a warehouse rather than storage units--that one has a mix of storage stuff, dead stock from a failed business, stock from a mail-order business, and one loner who comes in and sews things while listening to podcasts.

Having an adult clubhouse is great.

I guess I have no idea what seacans are.

Too late, she's already filled it with Mason jars full of soup.

You could go full Phillip luty there. And should...
