Do you have a plan for when TeH SHTF?

[Jack]

They're inverted.

[Semicolon]

They're inverted.

I've noticed, but I prefer no clarification on what that means.

[DirtDawg]

Unless it's zombies, no.


If it is, I plan on commanding my undead minions.

I would expect no less.

Where you been, goof ball?

in other threads for a while.


Before that, following different paths.

Glad to see you.

I've had a plan for when the SHTF since I was in my early 20's. 

[Calandale]

I had one earlier than that - but stopped caring much sometime in my 20's.

I have this fear that most people take for granted that they can have all the water they want, but what if "all the water you want"  is contaminated?

Being Dutch, and living below sea level, taking water for granted is no option.

Hoarding on water neither (apart from a few bottles). If shit hits the fan by terrorists blowing up the defense system against water, the only option is hoping to travel light and be away, or get saved, in time.

That would bother me,  being at just 28 feet (8.5m) above sea level where I am is bad enough.  During the last two hurricanes the surges were about 13 feet and reached the end of my road and during one they left a boat there.

As to contaminated drinking water if you know that it is rigging up a still is fairly easy or you can keep one of those camping filters handy.

    My plan is to go to Parts' house. 

My mom will take care of me. 

  Here you are hiding in your old room while your mom is outside guarding the property!

I'm guarding the food hoard.  Mom wont let me have a grenade launcher.

I don't really have a plan. If things go to hell, I'm pretty sure I'll follow.

The still idea is brilliant and I have not seen it used much more then to make molotovs or trading liquor.

Great idea!

TBH, I am just getting started. I have about enough food set by to last for about six months, but that only includes my family. What if other family members show up?

As long as I have been an adult, I have hoarded guns and ammo (I own a ridiculously diverse arsenal and tens of thousands of rounds of ammo, but I do not have much to protect except for our lives.) I have three safes bolted to the foundation which keep an impressive supply of weaponry, being an American and all. I can certainly arm our neighborhood, not that it would be needed; everyone here has plenty of shit to shoot with.

But, honestly, what do I have to protect with all that advanced weaponry, except our own lives.  SO, I can kill anything that moves for months, but after a few months, what do we eat?

[DirtDawg]

Oh, btw, I have also been hoarding seeds of all the plants I can imagine that will grow true or at all. Only problem is that most of those preparations require months to be useful.

While vacuum packed dry goods and dehydrated meats may last for many years, I have not even tried to store any that way.

Maybe we should think this through a bit.

[DirtDawg]

oops duplicate post.

Sorry

Maybe you just need a rifle and a handgun to protect your  "whole"  in the ground.

Or I ask again, what does your  "whole" contain that is worth defending?

Rhetorical! Do not answer, but think about it for real for a few minutes.

[Icequeen]

I think the hurdle to anyone's survival will be other people...STFO and GTFO of Dodge if you want to survive.  Take the immediate family or a select few and disappear like a hermit into the woods.

It wouldn't be bad at first, but as things got worse your neighbors, your friends, those people you know that you like, but can't quite understand how they made it as far in life as they did because they aren't the brightest crayons in the box, or the ones with grown kids that are slowly sucking the life out of them (and we all know a few)...will suck you down like a drowning rat hanging onto a stick trying to stay afloat.
