One thing I have done is I have a stock of quarters to use during the on set of SHTF to make any last minute purchases that might be advantageous. Anyone watch see you pay say for two gallons of gas and you use change. They aren't going to figure you for someone having a bunch of money on them. In fact I worry more about them trying to steal the gas than thinking on robbing me of money.

EMP scares me the most. It keeps me awake at night thinking of everything that won’t work anymore. Can we ever have ENOUGH of anything stored away? TP is on my grocery list nearly every week. HA! But I guess if I don’t have any food, I won’t need as much TP. Bright thought.

This is why Islam is superior, they use rocks and their hands for TP. Those will work even after EMP!

Keep some old clothing you may already have, or shop
the used-clothing stores for useable but crappy -looking stuff, and if you currently own any sturdy shoes or boots, wear them, but don’t wear them out completely..and keep them, even if you buy something new. Then, you won’t draw attention to yourself as someone who looks like you might have a good stash somewhere.
Also, take time to get to know your surroundings. If you think you’re being followed, know how to get back to your base while leading the follower on a wild goose chase

I had exactly one brown suit and one brown blazer, among the several suits and blazers I wore when working or attending church. I still had the nickname, Mister Brown.

The gist is to not stand out from the rest of the human detritus , blend into the background of a ruined people.

“Lights Out!” is a pretty good read, too.

Somewhat interesting article.
One thing the author neglects that I think would be important is smell. For most of human history, antiperspirants and deodorants were non-existent. Couple that with lack of bathing, and most people are going to stink in a post-SHTF world. If you smell like Irish Spring, or just don’t stink at all, you’re also going to stick out.

Can we ever have ENOUGH of anything stored away? You only need to store away enough to buy yourself time to adapt to the new reality. The human body has wonderful mechanisms to adapt. (And of course to buy enough time for all the zombies to devour one another)

The worlds financial markets are a mess of lies upon lies that will have to end at some point. Bubbles within bubbles comprise the whole of the stock markets, and financial collapse is a certainty that looms over us like a giant cloud.The most likely calamity, IMO.
