What it will look like is like nothing seen in our lifetimes. Blooder eventually than the first go around and as the LEFT is not prepared I look for them to reach out to third world leftest and Jihadist for true fighting men offering citizenship, money and sex.

Though most leftist will have no stomach for face to face fighting, they will have no problems bombing schools Hospitals or anywhere they can get a high body count of innocent. And GOD have mercy on you if you are Patriot and are captured, pray you save a bullet for yourself.

Think Bosnia over all Beirut is another good example of what we can expect, but I think we may get an even better example soon for especially for Blue State areas when Venezuela finally goes up in flames. And that’s how communism dies not with a whimper, but in fire and blood.

It is your choice you can prep you can scramble for leavings.

So listen to what the bible says: A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it. NIV Proverbs 22:3

The fact is we Americans have been living the good life for several generation now and that has made us susceptible to a condition called Normalcy Bias. This can get you killed is is something you must seriously guard against. Normalcy Bias cause people to not accept that a breakdown is occurring even as they watch it happening before their eyes.

It causes people to underestimate both the possibility of a disaster occurring and as well as the seriousness of what is happening.

This condition is common in situations where people have failed to adequately prepare for a disaster, and on a larger scale, the failure of governments to include the populace in its disaster preparations. (A recent example I give you Nicaragua’s Telica volcano eruption)

Many times people make the assumption that since a disaster has never occurred then it never will occur. It also results in the inability of people to cope with a disaster once it occurs. People with a normalcy bias have difficulties reacting to something they have not experienced before and deeply believed that never would occur.

People with Normalcy Bias also tend to interpret warnings in the most optimistic way possible, seizing on any ambiguities to infer the situation is far less serious than it real is.

A good article on ‘Normalcy Bias’ is on our own ChocChipCookies Blog The Survival Mom: https://thesurvivalmom.com/normalcy-bias/

You either prepare and stand on your own beholden to no one or you become dependent on others to provide your basic needs and become their ‘serf’. Me I don’t want to be beholden to anyone for providing what is needed for me and mine. I certainly don’t want to have to kiss some ‘gubberment’ third class bureaucratic to try and coax some help from them, I don’t want some ‘jack booted’ thug herding me in line and telling me where to stand, sit, eat or sleep. And last but not least I don’t want to be shut up in with a bunch of ‘zombies’ and have to worry about not only trying to get basic necessities but having to fight to keep what I manage to get.

I also posted this advice the other day, but it bears repeating: If you watch this thread you will see that even on FR there are those who hate and scoff at those who would be prepared to take care of their own should a shtf event occur. They like to claim they are not worried,because nothing is going to happen, some even say things like if it happens I just rob the preppers for my needs. When called on their words they claim they are only joking, but in my experience people who try to mask their words by claiming that they are only joking are only trying to cover the slip of the real them that came out in their words.

When push comes to shove you would surprised what people who claim they don’t care will do to cling to life.

One of the most dangerous groups that preppers will have to deal with are the anti-preppers, because they will not only covet what preppers have they will feel the need to punish preppers for having prepared and will feel morally justified in punishing preppers as in their twisted minds they will see the reason that the SHTF event occurred was because they dared prep for it. Their envy and indignation will be like that of leftist have for people who strikes out works hard and makes a good living or even gets well off and not sharing with them. This is a leftist think, but I have seen it’s example as I state above right here on the pages of FR,

Just getting started or an old hand you might find my Preparedness Manual helpful. You can download the manual at: http://tomeaker.com/kart/Preparedness1j.pdf ;

NOTE! THIS IS A FREE DOWNLOAD. I DO NOT MAKE ONE CENT OFF MY PREPAREDNESS MANUAL!

For those of you who haven’t started already it’s time to prepare almost past time maybe. You needed to be stocking up on food guns, ammo, basic household supplies like soap, papergoods, cleaning supplies, good sturdy clothes including extra socks, underwear and extra shoes and boots, cash (I myself have been putting up change for the past few years both for the metal content and the fact that using change places to make what purchases you can will move you down the the list of possible marks during shtf), tools, things you buy everyday start buying two and put one up.
As the LDS say “When the emergency is upon us the time for preparedness has past.”

Again I like to recommend FReeper’s ChocoChipCookie Blog The Survival Mom ( https://thesurvivalmom.com/) where you can get lots of useful.

Also Selco’s Blog a Bosinia war survivor ( https://shtfschool.com/blog/) which I believe would come close to what a modern civil war looks like.
