What is your plan if SHTF /k/? Operating innawoods or innacity? Loadout? Being a lone wolf or with other people?

I have a small group of friends, all of which are gun owners and have a small food/water stockpile. I own a small cabin and some land and we will head there. We will all die before we get there because we live in a city. If not we will die when we run out of food because I'm the only one who knows how to farm and by farm I mean I know how to grow a dozen plants at a time without any dying.

Imma part of reserves, so plan A is to get a call or regroup with my unit, get geared, and disappear innawoods to deal with the situation.

Plan B, pretty much a FUBAR situation, would be same as A, but without unit, with a friend or two, sharing some of my load.

>close enough to population centers to pillage for food/more specialised medical supplies/solar panels
>live the life off of old world shit and wild game
>farm in the summer
>hunker down in the winter
>watch all the movies and patrol for shit coming for us

Plan B: Shit Could Be Worse Addition

>would be much closer to people

Last one was a joke, but the rest were my general preference of how I would like to go about things. My plan B and C are most practical for me as I could get together enough people with the knowhow and supplies to start this thing. Plan D is really just modification of Plan A.

Farming isn't terribly complicated. You really just need to make sure you put enough down to support the amount of people you have while not over farming the land. About 2/3 of the land used at any time and rotate what you plant.

Also don't rely on wild game so much. During the great depression deer nearly went extinct because all the city folk went out to bag them and quickly over hunted. Will be worse with whole ghettos sending out hunting parties for both game and soft targets.

Different anon here. It's not complicated, but it tends to be very labor intensive. That's where you start running into trouble. Calories expended can easily exceed calories gained.

In my best year, I managed to grow about 20% of the food my family consumed. That was using dense pack gardening methods in 8 planters, 3X9 feet each. Each planter took about an hour of work per week, and a cubic foot of water. That's just growing/maintenance expense. Building the planters and making the soil fill took about 10 hours per planter. You can cut a lot off of that if you buy soil instead of making your own.

Once you get initial set up out of the way, returns on labor invested get much better. Figure 2 growing seasons to break even.

Pick one. I've been here 3 years now. Ain't bought a tomato, egg, corn, or Apple in that time.

>>30481962
Are they nearby? As in, would it be an operation all it's own to liberate them?
>>
>>30482161
they live on the other end of town, its maybe 15 miles. so 40 minutes by truck, or maybe a half day run, and considering the kids that might be half a week back just having to carry two 6 year olds and frequently stop for staminia and to feed and water them (and bathroom breaks)

So pretty much its a micro operation in itself to annex them from their mothers care by myself (my group wouldnt want to risk it all just to save my neice and nephew.), and an impossibility if she takes them on one of the frequent trips to the other side of the state to her mothers before SHTF...

Did that the first 2 seasons. Even with active cats and a dog, I was losing right at 50% to various pests. Gophers, coons, possums, mice, field rats, snails, slugs, assorted bugs, and random acts of nature. Putting in my cubic yard planters allowed me to really get the vermin under control without going all DuPont on them. They also warm up faster in the spring, which added about 10 days to the front end of my growing season.

Hide away from big cities for the first week or two then come back and start scavenging.

I base this off my assumption that most people that who aren't total psychopaths will be left by then which in turn reduces my chances of dying in the looting/first days of panic.
>>
Basically the agreed plan between my family and one friend in the area is for he and his girl to come to our place (He has two guns in his place, my family has around 30 in ours, and a lot more food stores)
Once said friend is at our place, we'd be getting out of this fucking city as fast as we could. If that were impossible or too dangerous to risk, we're in a good situation to bug in to, despite being in a city.

Main part of the plan is definitely getting out of this fucking city. I can imagine the chaos that would go on here, and it would not be at all pretty.

I'd rather get the hell out of the city.

Only retards go lone wolf if there's friends to be had. That said, I have supplements to the BOB that I keep in my truck: a large pack of water bottles and another of ramen, various nut bars, a pot, sleeping bag, etc.

Aside from getting out to poop, I could live in my truck for nearly a week if I rationed things properly.

Of course it's not just SHTF preparation, that's just smart to have in the car in case you stall in the middle of nowhere and have difficulty contacting help.

Not exactly the most prepared at the moment though leaving in the city. If such did happen tomorrow my best bet would be to get straight to my truck and get the hell out of Dodge.

>Know hidden locked areas where nobody would expect to look for supplies if SHTF
Once 911 systems go down or stop responding I would immediately go loot local fire stations and storage locations that I know of for a lot of critical supplies. Things I would get: Tools, Medications, EMS Supplies, Flares, Map Books, Workshop supplies,Forceable entry tools, power tools, generators, thermal cameras, shit maybe even a truck to draft water supply if need be.
I would fortify my house, maybe put up sandbags and small trenches and have people pull guard duty every night, and bug in. I live in an area with so much wild game I would have no trouble finding food. After that I'd pretty much just try to survive. Similar to this guy in Bosnia

>> Implying all these supply rich places will be empty of other like minded humans.
Most stations look abandoned, and if people don't know where to look or whats valuable they will miss a lot of shit. And my community is rural, so there isnt many people around here that would. I know off hand the location of at least 20 fire stations, and one EMS stations are. In my county, you can bet only maybe 1-3 would have been taken from within the first hours of being down. I live less than a half mile from a station with all the supplies I would need. And given that I work there, I would get advanced notice as to when things would go down and would be able to get what I need right away.

I've been a prepper a long time and we know all about those secret places.
The best thing and worst thing about being a very active member of the prepper community as long as I've been is that there are no secrets. None.
We have lists of every municipal and state reserve and warehouse everywhere. We are fanatical about this shit.
I seriously moved a couple hundred miles because way to many people knew my power level and now we stray completely to ourselves as far as prepping goes. We don't even receive shipments at our place anymore because the fucking delivery people take notes sometimes, you never know who's prepping and the smart ones are the dangerous ones when you really think about it..

This is something most people figure out the hard way. I remember when I was in my early 20's and I bragged about a underground shelter we had dug in our yard, neighbors on both sides decided they would just pack their fat asses in with us during a tornado, like we could get 9 people in there and bar the door.

I was thinking that maybe a local Walmart or similar would do well. The one in my town is nearby the gun/sporting goods shop, maybe hole up in a place that has a shit ton of supplies? Or is it too big and the best bet is to bug out to my parents house in the country?
>>
>>30486305
Any area that can sustain a walmart will have a population big enough to drain available supplies as the shit is hitting the fan. There won't be anything left anon. If you lived with hurricanes you would know how fast everything goes when the warnings go out...every fucking time.

I would likely try to barricade some of the industrial buildings around my work. Very sturdy high walled concrete shops that I could outfit with grow rooms, crew quarters, and the like.

I would ideally have friends and family that could help with patrols and walk the rooftops looking for invaders and such.

They are basically castles, and a lot of people are more focused on Fleeing than bugging in and being prepared. Biggest hurdles would be water and waste removal.

I live in a dense metro area. So the plan is to bug in until I can flee innawoods. Bosnia bro above though doesn't make me like my odds. I don't have many supplies so I'll have to waste my neighbors and barricade my section of the apartment building with their bodies and make the place look as picked over as possible so other people don't come for it. Once supplies run low my roommate and I will have to run night ops. Trouble is lots of police and military around here so it's hard to say how the gangs will form up. Basically try to play dead and stay alive long enough to find a way out or return to order

Live a little out of a small town
All our neighbors are ranchers and farmers

A group of rangers and a pish posh of other ex-sof preppers offered to supply security if we provide medical.

I'm a trained marksmen/EMT
father is a trained surgeon.

Group up with the SOF, Re-establish order in an unorderly world.

>This is something most people figure out the hard way.

If it's just society collapsing for whatever reason, I'd probably try to stay where I am with my family and live off the land, since it's pretty rural. If we're talking apocalypse levels of fan-hitting, I'd try to get myself and my family to a certain island and bring food, weapons, tools, medicine, solar panels, and whatever else seems useful.
pros:
+ it's very isolated, being in the middle of a very large lake
+ it's not very famous, although most of the island is a national park
+ since most of the island is a national park, you don't have to worry about the water and soil being contaminated or worn out or even hard to get to
+ because it's an island in a lake, fresh water is always available; if it does get contaminated I could always boil it or even distill it
+ it's small but not too small, a few families or maybe a village (maybe even two or three) should be able to till and hunt and fish indefinitely
+ it's not the friendliest environment, which will deter the slackers
+ in spite of the above, it should be very livable, at the very least it should be very livable in the warmer months
+ the mainland nearby is pretty rural and has a lot of shoreline, so guns, boats, and maybe gardening supplies should be there
cons:
- it's very isolated; I'd need a boat, like a real boat
- because it's isolated and small and mostly a national park, scavenging won't yield much, and scavenging from the mainland will mean traveling by boat before and after, and even then it'll mostly be slim pickings because all the areas around it are rural
- it's not super hospitable-- it's a little cold, and this lake is known for brutal storms in the winter
- it's small, so there's not a lot of room for growth, and trading with any other stable communities that form will be kind of hard
- I don't know what the soil is like there; in the regions nearby (the Midwest) it's pretty usable, but who knows; I could always bring soil or fertilizer or just find something that will grow there

Stockpile what you need. Your plan involves getting stomped to death in a riot, because everybody goes to Walmart for supplies.

Build a stock of at least 30 days of everything you'll need to survive. Food, water, tp, meds, fuel, cleaning/hygiene supplies- everything. Learn how to filter and purify water. Take some first aid courses. Learn how to cook, and about nutrition.

Start building up a library of reference books and manuals. Infographics and other comic book shit on your hard drive are useless when the power goes out. It's ok to have some tactical stuff in your library, but you want to focus on the how-to stuff that'll keep you alive. Growing and preserving food. Animal husbandry. Carpentry, welding, metalsmithing. Small engine mechanics. How to make soap and biodiesel. Homebrewing. Gasifer power production. Solar power. Papermaking. Pottery and glassblowing. Weaving and spinning. You get the idea.

You don't need to be an expert in everything I mentioned, you do need to try them all so that you have an idea of the work involved. That's not an all-inclusive list, btw. The important thing is to know enough to be able to get people started. Then you dig out the book and fine tune the process.

Check thrift stores in college towns. A lot of those books can be had for a dollar.

Never, ever count on Walmart to save your ass in times of crisis. Only you can do that.

I live near a sporting goods store (where I also work) and by the intersection of two major highways so I'm pretty much fucked. If by some miracle I'm able to grab a few things from work before the looters do then I'll just bug in. Maybe live as close to normal as possible until I run out of medicine. Honestly, I'd like to hike over to my friend's house a few miles outside of town and bug in with him.

If it's a super fubar situation then I'd lone wolf until I could find a group willing to take me. After a month or two my epilepsy medicine would probably run out and if I end up being stuck in a vegetable like state I'd ask them to kill me and burn my body.

Epilepsy isn't a modern invention. I bet a lot of ancient seers and prophets were epileptics. Pitch a grand mal, roll your eyes back, froth a little, and people will believe anything you tell them. They figure if you're going to put that much work into it, it must be true.

Added bonus, you get a teen qt as your caregiver. That's standard issue. I'm getting sweaty just thinking of the possibilities.

People able to make large amounts of really fucked up water safe for drinking will be the kings if it ever comes tumbling down in any first world nation that can't handle the nasties in their digestive tracts the rest of the world doesn't even think about. Dysentery running rampant will cause more people to commit suicide than hunger.

If you have toask we will never telll you. With out showing real motovation to provide for yourself and being someone who wants to be part of a larger community for saftey no one will care of you live or die.
True preppers have already reconciled with how much killing there will be and have drawn their lines in the sand. We know that we may have to let friends starve because if we don't no one survives. What makes you think a stranger with empty pockets will be well recieved by those who spent theirtime and money making sure their pockets were full when it was needed?
will be ZERO gibsmedats getting handouts from our community.... but those who have something to bring to the table and are willing to work very hard can find a place. Good luck anon.

I'm no gibsmedat, but all of my preparations have been about acquiring skills and supplies purchased honestly--I've made no plans on taking anything that isn't mine. I realize that's a foolhardy notion when things go fully tits-up, but as of yet all my effort has been to make me and mine as robust as possible without going after stashes set up by anyone else, private or govt. Thinking everyone who would ask that kind of question (for their local area, to not infringe on your own) is a shiftless bum is a bit disingenuous.

I feel bad for you. Not even trolling. The amount of reality you are denying is astounding.
You will be competing for survival with everyone in a 25 mile radius, how many empty stomachs is that anon? What kind of population are they anon, people who have lived peaceful lives among other law abiding neighbors or did they grow up in densely packed violent urban centers. There are real mathematical equations to predict who is going to get by and who may even prosper.
Preppers know what they are and have planned accordingly. You haven't planned and once that feces starts moving toward that oscillation it's entirely to late to gather ye roses friend.
Just saying... that if you haven't already been gathering what you and yours need you are already fucked. Enjoy that FEMA camp anon, I'm sure those handing out the water and MREs won't flee for greener pastures the second they hear the last supply truck has come and gone. heh heh heh.

FUN FACT for free, cause I like you.
Every motherfucker wit a few functioning brain cells who has ever seen that island you talk about is going to try to get there. Every place that MIGHT have fresh water and a food source will be stripped as bare as a wheat field by a swarm of locusts once every one is starving.
If you don't start thinking opposite you will not do very well/

Live near all major cities Commifornina Fucked by population density alone.In a non-nuclear end of world SHTF
Plan A
>Get some Marine and other service buddies of mine together with their families (sons/daughters/wives)
> 13 Families max
>Go North West to find a good desolate place or North East depending on area of damages
>Setup for the long term
>Close enough to population centers to pillage for food/more specialized medical supplies/solar panels/ Farming supplies
>Living the life off of old world tech, methods, and wild game
>Farm year round
>Hunker down in the winter
>Try to lead, live, and train everyone regularly while doing patrols for shit coming our way
Plan B
>Get skeleton crew addition of my A plan team (less families)
>Many large apartments in my area
>Apartments are gated, high risers, and strongly built for earthquakes meaning hard to bust down
>Designed for access only from a few key points and can be easily monitored
>Has a few rivers near it along with lakes
>Friends/Families are within 10-15miles overall locations
>Use multiple areas for FOBs for information/observation
>Start converting the place and building some infrastructure for deep real fucking harsh conditions
>Has small game in area
>Places in this area are built to keep poor people out
>Generator s vary from place to place
>Civilization is dense but for supplies and solar it is abundant
>Farm the golf course since they too are many in the area
>Live comfy with hot summers
To Be Continued
>>
>>30491401
Plan C
>Pretty much plan B but without friend's just my family or having such an easily defended location
>Would be much closer to people
>Slightly less worries about weather as I am for the population density
>Poor farming
>Nearest major military base worth going to is 60-70miles otherwise small Army bases and or Army Air wing is 10miles away.
>Place of strong hold is smaller but more capable for maintaining with small numbers
>Shit could still be worse I live near kebabs, Chinamen, Indians, Jews, and a few whites next city over has dressiest area of Mexicans other than LA
Plan D
>Assemble crew of about 10-15
>We have 2 high way options either the 101 or the 5 both very difficult if we go north or the 215 for very hot conditions
>Staying away from major interstates and population centers will be impossible but manageable
>Look for abandoned houses as we go
>Raid, gather materials, and move
>Cover about 10-15 miles a day and take it all slow and smoothly as possible can mean less detection
>Would be living off of canned goods and whatever is found passing by
>Guaranteed involved in more conflicts

The prepper community if fuckhuge and love to teach but hide your power level. I'm the anon who posted about moving because so many knew how well we are set up.

Heres a story, I'll keep it as short as I can.
I was a member of a local ZombieSquaad chapter. Great people and they helped us become completely self sufficient if we come to that, loved most of them. Then at one meeting it dawned on me that at least two of them would become marauders and these people are very competent not like that fat ass kiddie fucker from doomsday preppers, they would absolutely target people they had befriended if it all fell apart. This is a mistake you can keep from making anon.
Know this, once you start prepping for real you will be on lists, they passed a law a decade ago just for us. To confiscate our supplies to redistribute for the greater good...and that will become for the greater good of those in charge real fucking quick.

>Use house or apartment of choice
>Assemble 10-15 friends
>Get all the supplies from normal means and or unconventional
>Live in said area and defend that motherfucker while being comfy
>Would be intersting
Plan F:
>Get all the shit from Police stations and apartments as I move on
>All the ammo
>Raid military Army Air instillation first then Marine
>Get more ammo
>Armored shit is a must
>Make heavy armor vics
>Go to CIF or DERMO and raid what’s left
> Raid barracks because some dumb boot left gear
>Raid the armory
>All the MGs
>All the LMGs
>All the Rifles
>All the MK19s
>Get an LAV or AAV
>Fill crew compartment with more important supplies
>Because I know how to fix and operate said vics my team and I are now blitzkrieg tactics

You are already on your way, just keep thinking LONG TERM SHELF LIFE for everything you need and many things you like . Think about getting to a year of food, meds, toiletries. Think about entertainment ..books and shit.

As far as who you will group uo with...good luck anon. This is the hardest thing of all unless you have life long friends. JoinING or starting a group is a real risk and HIDE YOUR FUCKING POWER LEVEL.

As far as stealing from others you have no clue what you will do if you become truly desperate. Do you have young children? People will be eating other people anon. They will eat people.

Kind of depends what is going on, but more than likely I'd just hunker down in my house, draw all the shades and watch my property through my security cameras. I have a 10-foot high brick wall all around my property with crushed glass on top, with motion-activated lights every ten feet. The security cameras offer overlapping coverage, so even if one goes out, I can still monitor that area with at least one other camera. Anyone who tries to climb over gets shot. I've got thick security bars on my windows, so it doesn't matter if they get on the property, they're not getting in without cutting the bars.

That said, I'll probably kill myself from boredom once SHTF.

First let me state for the record that I do not believe for one second we will ever see complete SHTF...WROL...TEOTWAWKIOMGWTFBBQ type happening ever. Something like that is a meteor hitting us or the super caldera going full retard and that kind of thing is over in a few hours so no real happening IMO.

If it really happened all the way across the country the rioting over food is just the start and the most civil it will be for a very long time. Once the powers that be realize they are losing control they will consolidate the fuck out of their resources and power. That means all the good stuff and people with guns will circle the wagons. Their families are now assets and the rest of us aren't even on their minds at this point. There is no help coming ever, the non stop high impact sexual violence just keeps on coming. There will be no come to Jesus moment for the masses, we will start eating each other. It won't even take a fucking month in the most densely populated areas.

Just how do you think it's going to calm down as everyone becomes more and more desperate? Fuck you people just don't get it.

We all do it's just that someplaces see that shit regularly and others rarely.
The funny thing is the places that see it rarely suffer the hardest because they live in the fantasy that everything's fine and always will be. When you live in the gulf or lower east coast you know a hurricane is coming at some point...in the midwest they quickly forget how bad a 100 year ice storm fucks them up their asses and the retards on the west coast will never be prepared to take care of themselves after a big earth quake. Fucking welfare mentality asshole liberals.

in this family group we've got at least half of us that can deal with rationing food and water, one that can hunt plus three that can learn
water should never be a problem anywhere we can get to
if the island isn't doable we can find a spot on the coast, there's no way it will all be occupied, it's too big and too rural

What exactly do you plan to hunt? Most big game is going to get extinct from all of the normies from the city trying to do the same thing.

Small game? You would have better luck raising them as livestock. Less labor intensive and less danger of travelling.

What do you plan on hunting with? Guns? You'd better have a suppressor on that weapon or everyone within miles is going to know where you are. Bows can and should be used If you are proficient enough.

Also coastal locations are going to have problems with pirates. You'd have to have many armed people to defend against that threat. That means you'd have to be aware of everything happening around the island all the time.
>>
>>30493531
>retards on the west coast will never be prepared to take care of themselves after a big earth quake. Fucking welfare mentality asshole liberals.

Because 90% of them are imports from elsewhere. I spent my life here, I've seen what happens when the ground starts moving. It depends on what part of the west coast, I guess. Here in Humboldt County, countywide tsunami drills every year. Of course, most of our imports are concentrated at HSU. Survivors can be integrated into the labor pool, I guess.

If we get a big one, we're on our own for a month at a minimum and we know it. SF bay area is only 300 miles away and they're going to get all the attention. Kinda like what happened in Louisiana and Mississippi during Katrina. Folks in Mississippi didn't waste time bitching to the press about where da gummint cheese, they just picked up the pieces and got on with life. Red state/blue state difference, I guess.

I just want the anons I spend time with here to wake up to their rsponsability to provide for themselves is shit gets bad. That's all.
Something is always habbening some where, look at Venezuala right now. Our MSM isn't saying shot about the entire country srtarving, their hospitals completely out oif supplies and their emergency responders no longer coming to work.
I just want everyone to make rational decisions about what they will eat and drink and how they will stay clean and infection free is SHTF. This is my only goal.
>I intend to be active, even if there's risk to it
Great... what plans do you have, how many people are in this with you?

Not me. I have thought that through and decided I would eat my gun before I ate people.
It happened during Katrina, people started eating people. Our Gov kept that shit quiet. I don't know if anyone here remembers the day the national guard cut the cables the media was using for their satellite up links out side the superdoma but that is the very moment they stopped telling the truth about what happened in the superdome from getting out. We never saw any footage from inside that place further than 20 feet inside the front door. and only 5 or six people were ever "interviewed" on live TV. Think about that anons.
>>
>>30494415
>It's for everyone. Your stuff is yours
But it's not.
Congress passed a law giving emergency personal to take large stores of food from provate citizens after Katrina. Now everyones pantry will be confiscated in a state of emerge4ncy.

About 8 years ago "The Survivalists Forum" posted a message on their forum. It went something like this...." The Federal Government is trying to get us to hand over membership information about all of our users, we have refused and will die before we capitulate"... the gov has worked very hard to know who has lots of goodies that can commandeer "for the greater good" meaning for themselves and their hired guns.

They want access to the food we have saved up for our families while keeping the food our taxes have payed for under their lock and key and being guarded by people who salaries we pay.

Think about that shit smart ass.

So very happy to hear from you anon, nothing brings a smile to my face than knowing there is one more person out there planning fo r he future.
My point was that the liberal elite that controls everything out that way is criminally negligent when it comes to preparing for the inevitable. Look at how well Japan handled one of the worst natural disasters the globe has seen ever. They knew what the fuck the were doing.

Can you imagine the utter chaos that would follow the same event in Cali? Fucking liberals are the enemy of everything orderly and good. They are so busy making sure every special snowflake group feels safe to protect the entire community from the devastation they know is coming in the next few decades. Cocksuckers all of them

Concentration of resources plays a big part of that. Some of which become nonviable in an event. I was in Alameda during Loma Prieta. SF was paralyzed for a solid month after the fact, Oakland for a good 2 weeks. And it took, what, 18 months to clear debris and rebuild the freeways?

We're just as prepared in Humboldt as the Bay Area is. Probably moreso, since there are 3 land routes into the county and each of them spends some portion of each winter closed by rockfalls. We're also no stranger to power outages lasting up to 2 weeks.

But, the fact is, we have 140K people in a county slightly larger than Rhode Island. We're also at the conjunction of 3 tectonic plates. When the big one levels the Bay Area, we're going along for the ride. And then we'll be on our own for at least a month while SF gets all of the FEMA hand-holding. We're well aware of this fact.

Bay Area has an assload more funding and resources. Out of area strike teams would start arriving within 2 hours. Tons more first responders, with dozens of hours more training. But don't even begin to try telling me the general populace is better prepared.

You'll find out on day 1 that leadership is a monumental pain in the ass. I'd recommend a modified system of representation. Each dwelling has one person making decisions and accepting responsibility for all of the people in that dwelling. Each group of 5 to 20 dwellings elects a spokesperson to be their leader. Leaders make decisions after hearing input from household heads. Some decisions may require a vote, if so requested. Each house head may request no more than 5 votes per calendar quarter.

Spokespersons answer to a neighborhood council, composed of all the spokespersons in the town or borough or whatever political subdivision is convenient. In eastern states it'll be by county, because those were set up so that no part was more than half a day travel away from the county seat.

The idea being, you don't have mob rule democracy, but you also don't have a rigid centralized dictatorship or whatever the fuck it was that the Soviets had. Local decisions get handled at the local level, doctrine and strategy comes from on high, policy is formulated at the intermediate level to best fit local
conditions while conforming to doctrine.

Now, about responsibility. It goes both ways. You're responsible for the lives and wellbeing of all of the people you want to boss around. Among other things, you have to make sure they have what they need to carry out the orders you give. You also have to make sure that their living needs are met. And absolutely fucking zero smoking or hazing.

If you want to be the guy in charge, plan on working 20 hour days for the first year. Learn how to delegate, don't be afraid of the people who are smarter than you. That's what staff positions are for. Remember that every decision you make has to be in the best interests of everybody you're responsible for.

10 hours at 3mph is do able. Assuming they had easily portable shelters, walked on roads, didn't have to stop and forage for long periods of time. As well as them all being fit enough to walk 3mph with a frame pack loaded to brim for 10 hours.

I couldn't see your average American being able to do that though. I've met so many fat and skinny people that just let their cardio go to shit. I'm a little chubby but I still go on 10+ mile hikes with my 3 day+ pack.

>Local, natural disaster based SHTF: law and order will return

Go cycle over to my relatives' with my meager food supplies and my weapons, and watch my tax dollars go to work. There are enough of them to keep a watch, and their house offers a more defensible position than mine does. If my hometown is unaffected, spend three days or so cycling there and hang with my folks until it's through.

>Civilization as we know it is over
Die of radiation poisoning.

Get on my bike and ride back to my hometown, get killed by starving raiders.

Make it to my hometown, see my parents and brother one last time. Suck start my pistol rather than starving and die tired.

Decide not to, abscond with family into the wilderness. Die tired, cold, starving but not alone.


In the event of civilization ending, most of us will die. The people that live will be the hardcore preppers like in this thread, and the government assets who have bunkers to retreat to. Let those preppers have their day, I think. They earned it. Not fair of me to lay any claim to wasting their supplies when I don't really have any useful skills and haven't adequately prepared myself. I can just wrap all my shit up so it'll last, and be of some use to those with a better chance at it than I.

Live in the sewers eating rats raw for sustenance. Hunker down while you all kill each other above ground. Assuming I don't get every disease known to man, slowly learn the layout of the town, eventually the state, and finally the entire nation. Pop out of manholes to loot places at night and eat bodies of the murdered (Night vision will honed to owl levels living in the sewer). I'd booby trap my main tunnels in case anyone else tries my idea; plenty of shit to cover my pungee pits and barbed trip wire. Grow potatoes and carrots in those big open tunnels with sunlight access.
>>
>>30496845
I have a similar plan if possible. Make it to my parents place in a very small town in the Adirondacks. Everyone knows each other kind of place so wouldn't have to worry too much about locals killing for supplies. Most are older and know how to grow/hunt/fish/forage the area very well. Lots of summer homes of people that wouldn't make it back that we could scavenge for supplies. Only three roads into town through the mountains that could be cut off fairly easily.

Like some anons said there's a worry about over hunting and fishing. Although I doubt we would have to worry about too many people coming up to try their hand living off the land. The neighborhood already has a few tame deer and I don't think it would be too hard to start raising them. My uncle has a few bee hives and plenty of chickens that can be expanded pretty easily.

The cold and disease would be the most challenging things for sure. But people survived here during the 1800s, so with enough cut wood, heavy clothes, and first aid knowledge it would be doable.

The Hollywood image of rural living only comes in 2 types- cannibal hillbillies and idyllic Smallville. When "just in time" delivery stops at the local markets,they'll risk the rapey cannibals for the abundance you have,and are anxious to share with whomever stops by. And if you don't share,you're being selfish,and deserve to have it stolen.
So you can look forward to Mexican Reavers and desperate, panicky,stupid hordes.

Buy a month or two's worth of freeze dried food,and bury it deep out in some national or State park land. The large ammo cans are awesome for this.
Learn where your local water sources are. In my State (Connecticut),a lot of the hiking trail maps mark local,hidden springs. If you live in a more arid area,buy the stuff for a few air stills.
Caches can be your friend.

Desperation is likely best option.

If possible, try to figure out a way to start a garden somewhere, easily accessible from the block (indoors, perhaps on the roof) that others can't get to. Set up rain barrels, or buckets, anything really.

Food and water will be huge, but remember water first.

Water you'll last 3 days without. Food is 5 to 7.

As long as nobody decides to attack the whole block, and as long as you have water and a functioning garden, you'll be fine.

Hae a heart traps are a good investment.
I've taken to putting some cat food out in the woods periodically to keep raccoons and possum going there. If there's a breakdown in food delivery, I can put out some set lines for fish,take the leftovers from cleaning them,and put them in the traps out where I currently put the cat food.
Anything I trap out there I can use the offal to bait my set lines. Minimal output for protein.
My garden is small,but takes up almost half of my cleared yard. I bought a couple books about local edible and medicinal plants. Guess I'll be foraging.

Also try to form a small town with neighbors. Try to control the roads in as much as possible so the hordes of 'apex predators' don't try to chimp out on us

My job requires a lot of driving. I've started keepinga book of places of interest,where if there's a breakdown I have a list of places to go to in the first 72 hours,before the cattle start to stampede.
Stores and businesses that caught my eye,either because of what they sell,or what they have.
One example-an environmentally friendly warehouse with over a dozen banks of small windmill generators on the roof. The banks (of 4) are too big to lower off the roof without equipment, but each unit could be rigged down by 2 men,1 on the roof,and 1 on the ground.

I would lone wolf it, into the woods I go, up into the mountains. Within just a few weeks I'd have a bear fur suit to keep me warm.

Just have to get out of Florida first, which means I'm probably fucked and that's not gonna happen.

>>30477248

I purchased 1 acre of land for $2,500 in a rural area that's easily accessible. I put a half-underground building on it that's very secure and has enough food/water for 4 people/2 years. It was surprisingly cheap to set up, doing most of the work myself.

None of my friends or family know about it other than the 3 people I have selected to "ride it out" with. They've each invest about $1,500 each in weapons/ammunition/food/water/building materials.

my only "kit" is a simple chest rig and pistol belt/IFAK for my SPR style rifle and sidearm, along with an assault pack that has enough food/water/ammo to make the trip, even if on foot (which takes 4 days, have done it twice)

The wandering hordes actually made me come up with this. It's not perfect,but it should redirect a lot of the desperate and unprepared. A handful of us in town are going to go out to the surrounding areas and tape these to storefronts and traffic signs at intersections,along with cutting down street signs on State roads that mention my town. The hope is that these flyers will take people far enough away that they won't have the energy to come back.
One big bonus for me is that all the large cities within 50 miles are all on the other side of the river,as is the nearest highway going to the shore. The only bridge in the area comes into town,but it's a swing bridge, and it's so old that it can be made to open by powering it with a tractor's PTO in an emergency. Boats can be scuttled,but a couple thousand people flooding into town is too much to deal with.

Not him, but...

Having a bad plan does not inherently beat having no plan. In fact, with some exceptions, it's the reverse.

i live in Canberra Australia. as far as national capitals are concerned, Canberra is really small and spread out. Currently i get an odd 80% of my food from foraging around the year and rabbit snaring and my bees nest. it would be more, but damn i like to eat maccas every now and then. i have a few ceramic filters as well as chloride and iodine crystals stashed away enough for years of fresh water as well as stocks of anti bacterials and sterilizing solutions like vinegar and peroxide.

the food that i do buy is all non perishable. i literally go shopping only once every 2 months to stock up on things like sugar and long life milk. i have been trying to learn as many skills as possible, not just for survival but its really fun learning new things. atm i have been processing clay to make pottery.

on terms of security, i haven't told a soul person irl that i prep, the place i'm living in, i have made sure looks normal and even a tad run down from the outside but is very secure from the inside. i don't think the wild life here would be hurt to much since its aus and its like 1 in 10 people own a gun but there is a museum near me that has among other things a really nice 1850 navy colt i might borrow.

Hey I remember you anon, you were here asking about blowing the bridge into town some years back. I was the anon who suggested tearing down the highway signs for your town's exit, and/or putting up fake quarantine zone signs (and possibly removing all supplies from the nearby highway-adjacent gas stations to further make travel through the area difficult), way back when.

That FEMA flyer there is taking things to a new level of brilliant. Thanks for sharing it, I'll definitely keep that one in mind for future plans once I accomplish my move to a smaller population center.

Major military installation near our in-progress small family farm / homestead.

Pro:
Many quiet professional retirees who teach the neighbors if you're not a total ass.
Weapons, rations, meds, comms, water, and other supplies are not a problem.
Local "old families" like us.
Good physical location for the farm, onion-skin defensive layers; looks like our place is the future location of the neighborhood citadel if a major collapse happens.
Past weather-related events have revealed which neighbors can be counted on for what.

Con:
Post is a FEMA suppository.
Airfield flight path over our house.
Methamphibians in the trailer parks and Dindus in town, some gang activity.
We are successful but low-key producers; still a potential resource for above.
Best local bugout location is too close to a major metro area.
Some of the retirees can be...um...unstable, at times.

So, my realistic concern is that we we may have some internal strife once the abatis is in place. External threats are either handled at the lowest level or so far over my head that it isn't even funny. I'm currently learning about multi-purpose force multipliers.

"Foxfire" in encyclopedic form.

My plans have evolved a lot. In the event of a big disaster, I'm still planning on taking care of me & mine first and foremost, but I want to assist the community at large as much as possible as well. If we're all doing as well as possible,my family is a little bit safer.

Good one!
Have you seen MG Kains' Five Acres and Independence?

Your library is wealth and power, Anon. Be careful with it.

Not to be a smart ass, but first, check out the ones we've listed.
Those pretty well cover the whole range of
Band Aids
Barter
Batteries
Beans
Bikes
BlahBlahBlah (commo)
Blankets
Books
Bouncy Balls (entertainment)
Buddies
Build
Bullets
Hope that helps?

Thing is though, you have to go out and try this stuff to find what works for you IRL.
A lot of it looks simple until you're cold, wet, hungry, tired, and sick...but if my Grandma could do this stuff, you can, too.

>>30499830
Could you tell me more about your community assistance plans? I'm doing alright in the individual prepping part of things, but I really want to get things better for the folks around me.

>If we're all doing as well as possible,my family is a little bit safer.
This basically, and my family is not close to large enough to do everything necessary come a real SHTF; hell we'd be pressed to even mount a regular area patrol/evening sentry and be able to accomplish anything else.

>>30499965
I'll do that, though I've read enough general stuff on prepping and homesteading from other sources that none of that is new concepts; I'm looking for quality sources that drill down deep into more niche categories within that--about the only one I've got a good list for is wild plant collection/eating.
