So, do you want to hold on to a bs concept (home sweet home) or do you want to survive? If you want to survive then you will have to be mobile and you will have to abandon attachments to places and things. period |

-VonAmoR- User ID: 70777896 United States 11/25/2015 09:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you were roaming for food, how would you pick a home to loot? What would you be looking for? - Lights - Noise - Foot prints (snow) - smoke from fire - odor of food (starving people can smell food very well) Now, plan to make your home look unattractive for looters. This is the fist line of defense, avoiding conflict. Second line, either flee or fight. Make this choice quickly when needed. Steak knives marbles on floor Think about this, you can lure the looters into a specific area then ambush them. Take their weapons. This is all in theory of a madmax world scenario. |

SaveUSa User ID: 68999897 United States 11/25/2015 09:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you truly have a good stock of preps (particularly cigs, alcohol, spices, etc), and IF shit goes down to the extent we all need these, you will be in a position to trade for what you need in pretty short order. So, in that short window before demand rises sufficiently to trade/barter, you should hide the valuable stuff, leave enough shit laying around that someone breaking in thinks they actually took something (like ramen noodles, cheap shit), lay low. Maybe go begging periodically to make folks think you don't have anything. A bat, a few trip wires guarding same, and maybe a bit of stealth will help you through the unlikely event someone figures out your real stash, and if unsuccessful defending same, it won't really matter much... Within the surreal depths of "reality" lies the truth. |

And someone is coming through that door. A 5-6 foot iron rod lined up horizontally and "plunged" through a crack in the door will take out whatever's behind at it as long as it's not covered in steel. |

Have your exit routes planned out preferably to get out without too much or any attention. In a worst case I would not worry about what the landlord thinks about knocking out walls. It won't matter anymore anyway. oh and bear spray in a can the size of a fire extinguisher and remember to exit quickly when you use it and never be downwind |
XRAT User ID: 69227506 United States 11/25/2015 10:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Someone mentioned wasp spray. That is an outstanding alternative if you are unable to wield a firearm. It's a standoff weapon. Even a hand to hand expert can get taken down by a lucky attacker. So you want to avoid hand to hand if possible. Wasp spray is non lethal, so once you hit them with the spray follow up with a bat, knife or any other weapon. Fuck em and feed em hot dogs. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 5648276 United States 11/25/2015 10:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hmmm. You'd have to imagine that there would be at least 10 other people directly around you as you attempt the exact same thing. More if you're inside a big city. Then there would most likely be tens of thousands of people on either side of you doing the exact same thing as well as every other possible reaction imaginable including simply flipping the complete-fuck out and hurting people while they're at it. Long-term survival is another issue, how long will you require this mode of operation? Will the issue resolve itself? Or will this be a long-term event? Will this last 2-7 days? 2-4 week? 2-4 months? 6 months? 8 months to 1 year? 1-2 years? 2-7 years? The rest of your life? Each of these time periods categorize into various degrees of requirement and material supply depending on your geographical location, number of people, health, and threats in the area. It would be nearly impossible to stay in a location and have enough supplies for a long-term event unless you are already outside of the suburbs and have a secure fall-out shelter of some sort. Unity is one of the only ways this would work. One of the only ways. There are a substantial supply of ways this can go wrong. |

What are cheap ways that you think I might be able to protect my food and supplies with out guns? Thanks You have a felony huh. That sucks. It isn't just felons who can't buy guns. Some misdemeanor charges prevent you from legally buying them. Domestic violence is an easy charge for the NWO courts to disarm Americans. Many people think it's just a charge for wife beaters but it can apply for anyone living inside the same house as you. Brother, sister, dad, roomate, etc. Say they block the door one day and prevent you from leaving. If you push them out of the way and they fall and bump their head or something and call the cops, you get arrested and once convicted you can no longer buy guns the legal way or legally possess them. That law needs to be eradicated and renamed to assault and battery. You can beat the living shit out of someone at the bar or someone walking down the sidewalk that looks at you funny. Then when you get out of jail you can still keep your guns. But yet the pettiest fight inside the home will rob you of your constitutional "rights". I don't get it. |
