I read it. We’re ready.
Too easy to create choke points and “fatal funnels” out here in the boondocks.
Food and fuel are an instant issue in a crisis; medicines,etc. are secondary. Gold will be near worthless, except at the highest levels in areas under some kind of order.
Best to start thinking about it, even if you think SHTF scenarios are unlikely.
Yes the only “precious metals” in that situation are lead, brass and copper.
Exactly. When the consequences are so dire/severe you have to start paying attention even if the chances for that situation are very very remote.
We are slowly (but quicker now) stockpiling food, water, and ammunition. I live in a town with a lot of active duty and retired military. Already have a plan (as in map study and personal recon) to close off our suburban neighborhood (4 road entrances) to non-resident traffic. Lots of good cover, places for OPs to provide the hidden/real punch behind a roadblock. There will be no flash mobs, no looting in our area.
I know there is enough firepower within a stones throw of my place to do this. Aside from the hardware we have other support gear including radios, foul weather gear, optics, etc. Several of my neighbors have done multiple tours in the sandbox setting up checkpoints, running convoy security, running intel and spec-ops teams. We will be secure.
