I’m not all too sure about SHTF Prepper stuff. Some of it seems good to have. Other aspects of the labored preparation and scenario reduction seem strained or just too optimistic. The more elaborate the preparation, it seems to me, the more ways all that can go wrong.
I only know this. If the SHTF does happen, preppers and reasonably prudent people had better damned well be armed in the first place, and damned well better be able to use deadly force in the first instance of trouble. IOW, if you don’t know it, kill it - quickly.
I think a regime of quiet preparation, no advertising, heavily armed and stocked on essentials coupled with a deadly attitude towards intruders or happenstancers would be the order of the day.
ok
Prepping & survival is more about gardening and canning than it is about guns and ammo.
So this is the guy I have been cleaning up after. I can’t measure the broken beer bottles & cans I have cleaned up at informal shooting locations in the woods.
“Get good at suffering while still being able to work towards a goal.”
Too many of our fellow citizens, even those that are not 47%ers, cannot do either. Most of the rest of us can do at least one of those.
It’s all in the mind set. Keeping a clear mind and knowing that the job must be done will get you through a lot.
So blam, what’s going to happen to the Obama Phone Lady with the SHTF?
“Training is the key...”
Where the heck you get the bullets to train with?!?
I don’t have time to read the whole article. What does SHTF
stand for?
Sooooo much people can buy now to prep both for long term hunker down and for being on the move. Look on amazon for instance, they sell medical “backpacks” akin to what field medics take with them on patrol (minus the pain killers) for a very reasonable price. I picked one up along with a staple gun for quick suture.
As someone else said, butt load of bic lighters. Why waste energy and time when you can have something so small at the ready? Lots of ammo but a good portion “ready to go”, i.e., get on the move with you..Pre-staging in case you have to bug out or knowing how to read the times and fortfying if you have to. Purchasing anti-biotics now (even if it’s from the local fish shop). Dried foods, compound bows. Shoe laces, aspirin...things that you will need for a year or so if you are on the move.
Excellent article from a guy that has the T-shirt.
