You should rather, develop an escape plan to get away from these populated areas, one that can be exclusive and get you out quickly, with you, you should then have enough survival gear and supplies to live for as long as possible. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14813955 You should rather, develop an escape plan to get away from these populated areas, one that can be exclusive and get you out quickly, with you, you should then have enough survival gear and supplies to live for as long as possible. I agree, and live in a very rural area, midway between two lg, cities, B'ham and M'gmry.Out in the sticks now, and know for sure that if it gets bad, and it will, that being where we are is a problem. Some will migrate south, and others north. Am guessing the hungry, displaced and pissed off willstart looking for an easy mark, and I will not be an easy one. Have gun will shoot, but....rather it not come to that, Oh, read all the books too.... |

If you have a patio door, be prepared to board it over. 3) battery powered motion sensing lights 4) internal saferoom 5) fire protection 6) sand bags and source of sand so you can improvise a defensive position 7) camouflage- make the place look deserted, burnout, and obviously not worth giving a second look at. Obviously you will not add most on this list until tshtf, but collect the things you need now and store them onsite. This won't stop all out chaos, but will help against a quasi-breakdown (think Argentina). Have a buyout plan to a safer location though, and most importantly, develop a good rapport with you neighbors |

keeping things real SS User ID: 35094320 United States 02/24/2013 04:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have collected vegetable cans and old silverware I get at garage sales or where ever. I grind the handles into knifes, stick them in the cans with cement. Bury them on the inside and outside of my yard fence with only the blades showing. When things get bad I will be adding my barbbed wire fince and I will have shards of glass around the silverware knives. there will also be holes around the fence. If you fall, and with these things in play, you WILL get shot, and hung so everyone will see not to mess with me ! Peace and my God always be with you! |
