If you need more than 400, civilization is over.

Got 500 and enought reloading supplies for a small army (if they all use 7x57 Mauser that is).

Big tip, save your brass and keep your primers and powder safe. Can always cast your own rounds, the other three will be in short supply real quick.

Generators are great to have. One crucial aspect to their use is isolation from the line. In other words, you must ensure without fail that the power generated does not enter the local power grid. Many utility workers have been electrocuted while servicing supposedly dead or "cold" wires.

The above list illustrates why it is important to assemble these items prior to needing them. If they organized effectively at home you and your family may be able to subsist adequately without government or other agency help and all that entails - chiefly, having to leave home and hearth vulnerable to possible looting, loss of dignity and privacy as well as exposure to infectious diseases and other interesting aspects of communal living.

Much better to have a room set aside in the basement, the nucleus can be built around the components of a good hiking/camping kit and expanded to include longer term survival items.

Thanks for the information.

Thanks for the post. Printing from the website to keep at my work. I keep a shortwave/sideband/AM/FM radio near me at all times. Home and at work. Keep flashlights everywhere (mag lites)and those little sapphire lights on my keyrings.Keep emergency supplies in your cars. One thing I learned from my Mom years ago. Never let your gas tank get below half full. We live in a rural area and are pretty much OK. I am a first aid/CPR instructor with the Red Cross, so I recommend everyone get certified. And a note to the other ladies on this site. BE OBSERVANT! Too many us of walk around in Code White...we need to move up to Code Yellow. Watch, observe and pre-plan how to act in an emergency. Know what you are willing and able to do in an emergency or to give a helping hand.

Bump.

Chance favors the prepared mind.

Or possibly a tank of Green Algae...Green Algae is the best thing to use to convert CO2 To Oxygen (The most efficient, anyhow..)

I wonder if "RED ALERT" will be, in essence, "MArtial Law"?

Thanks for the info, Johnny.

I wonder if "RED ALERT" will be, in essence, "MArtial Law"?

If you read the document you will find that 9/11 would have been considered a Red Alert event. Martial law was not imposed then and there is no indication that it would be in future Red Alert events either.

This thread presents information crucial to understanding the Terror Alert System and surviving, or better yet, preventing a terrorist attack.

I feel lucky to have seen it and would like every Freeper to have a chance to read it.

Please consider placing a notice at the top of the Browse Page to announce the availability of this information.
