A BTT. You can either be self-sufficient or you’re stuck hoping that the folks who are running Amtrak and the Post Office can feed you. Best of luck with that.
To: Bloody Sam Roberts
Especially when UN blue helmets stroll in your neighborhood...
You need to lower your x ring about 2 inches. It takes one heck of a bullet to penetrate a genuine kevlar helmet.
To: Hacklehead
My thoughts exactly. No one except my wife is aware of my preps.
OPSEC all the way, baby.

I have a Mosin, and a 2A Mk1 #3 Enfield, too. Both are reliable out to 150 yds with iron sights, are great for rifle PT, and yes, would make great clubs should I ever run out of ammo. But, being that both are in common military calibers, that's not likely.
Here's hoping I never shoot aything but targets, milk jugs and the occasional deer or elk with 'em.

They maybe unprepared for themselves, but at least, I can prep for their dogs. You're a good woman.

In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but the foolish man devours all he has.
Proverbs 21:20
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest”
Proverbs 6:6-8
“A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.”
Proverbs 27:12
Ad me to your ping list Lady!

"No problem! Whatever I dont have on hand will be taken from a blue helmet..." Especially if they're the Dutch faggots Gen. Sheehan was talking about in front of the Senate recently.

When I was growing up, people who had stashes of food and miscellaneous supplies on hand, just enough to last a couple few months were referred to as NEITHER survivalists nor preparedness folks -- such persons with extras as described in the BBC article were simply known as HOARDERS.
I had NO idea that today's HOARDERS are embarressed of being mistaken for survivalists. These people were in NO way prepared for a disaster, they simply were exhibiting classic traits of one version of obsessive compulsive disorder. Perhaps these OCD'rs are also embarressed about OCD????

One of the deals is though AFTER one of these weather episodes (like a week to a month) hit the local pawn shops.
You WILL find a generator there, and can probably get it on the cheap!
(just make sure it runs)

“SEIU-OBAMA Reserve Army...”
LOL, I can just imagine those vegetarian, malnutrition ridden poor saps. Any meat and potatoes kind of guy can sweep the floor with their dreads.
To: snowrip
ONE thing I've never seen mentioned by preppers who follow OP SEC, is to make certain that if TSHTF big time, to make sure that you go to the grocery store along with Everybody Else and to make certain that while there you looked scared & nervous while you load up your cart.
LOL
Think of how neighbors will view those persons who did NOT run to the store to strip the shelves bare.... If civilization comes to a standstill for a full week, plenty of people will get very suspicious of anyone who doesn't appear to be freaking out.

Put me on the list, please.
