Whew, that was a long article. It's a lot to think about. I'm in a city and if SHTF I am a lone female with a little dog. I'm trying to make a plan right now, but it's very complicated.
The main thing I'm worried about if SHTF is that it's planned and the government rounding people up and putting them in Walmart Fema camps.
I wish I was more prepared and on a well armed farm, but I have no idea where would be safe. I'm trying to just stay calm for now and understand the situation as accurately as possible and gather what resources might be helpful. Maybe I'll have to do a long trek out of the city.
It's such a mindf*ck because I woke up just about a year ago. My original plan was to stay where I'm at and study art so I can make comics. But that goal feels so incompatible with the impending doom of food shortages and power outages. I'm going to have to read up on Argentina 2001.
We have become so weak as a people; so vulnerable and unprepared and far too trusting of government to do stuff for us. Living in a city apartment, I've been complicit in this too. Manipulated into a false version of reality.
(found your post from NakedEmperor; thanks for such a detailed write up! As a newbie here I really appreciate people like you who have been awake and aware.)
Great article! You had me laughing my butt off! I’m single and can’t afford any kind of security but at least I do have personal protection ( we might say ).
I started stocking up because things were going to get expensive and talked my sister into it too. So glad it pays to be paranoid!
Great article! I may have missed it, but did you mention everyone should have a camp stove and fuel such as propane? Can’t rely on gas or electricity. Ive invested in freeze dried meals that last 25 years and only require boiling water. Don’t forget pet food and to stock up on any meds you take. Tell the pharmacist you need extra for a trip, or just buy for cash if insurance won’t allow extra. Have a plan to keep meds (like insulin) cool if required in case refrigerator is out. Your swimming pool or a local pond will keep meds cool if you submerge them in a weighted, waterproof container. Ideally in the shade. Just a few extra tips from California earthquake country! Many of us here already prepare for two weeks with no supplies but now I’m adding more to my pantry!

Just wanted to say Thank You for putting this together in one place.
Instead of security cameras an alternative would be a drone.

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.” -1984
Prepping is a good idea in our era of manufactured pandemics, famines, and wars.
It is also vital that we take economic, political, and community action to delay the arrival of 1984.
