Mean Daddy :"What other things are you doing for you and your family?
One thing I saw the other day was Sarah Adams recommended taking a First Aid class,
building connections with people who have served in the Middle East as they're savvy to their way of fighting."
"What things should people be thinking about but often overlooked? "
----------------------------
Building your own survival skills and developing a reliable social network of others who think the same as you is essential; there is safety in numbers.
Situational Awareness is the standard of prepping
If you live near a river, evaluate for the prospects of flooding; if in a mountainous area, evaluate for mudslides and ground creep
If you live in a desert environment, evaluate for possible water shortage or the need for rain water barrel containment.
If you live in an earthquake prone area, or near Yellowstone, develop skills for debris removal, safety travel routes, acquire maps and compass orienteering skills.
Bottom Line develop your own set of personal and tradecraft skills so as to act on your own, independently, without reliance on others or the government.
Because in the event of some massive catastrophic failure, there will be numerous others who will be more 'in need' than you, and there will never be enough resources to go around.
You cannot with any amount of accuracy predict what all might occur, but know in your heart that God blessed you with a thinking mind for the purpose of your survival,
and in difficult times, as well as easier times, you need to grow closer to God to provide you with faith and hope for the future.

Since mayhem will almost assuredly be unleashed as soon as President Trump is inaugurated, it is better to be safe than sorry regarding having necessary supplies on hand by Monday. Bongino has mentioned enough for 3 months. A whistleblower (FBI iirc) recently stated that there are 1000 jihadis in the US ready to do their thing, what to speak of other criminal illegals, the Venezualan gang and so on. I’m sure that President Trump being the CiC on Monday, will do what needs to be done, but it will almost for sure be some time before things settle back to peacefulness.
