I think it is important to be prepared in case there is a mass breakdown in peaceful society. I've read that a store of food that can last three to five months is a good start.
--First Aid Kit
--10 changes of clothing (also off season clothing)
--A sturdy shelter that can withstand a mob of unruly folks attacking it
--Fresh water (at least 100 gallons)
--books (not "e-books" but real books)
--games (for the kids to take their minds off of their fear)
--shotguns (and plenty of shells)
Note: If guns are illegal where you live then scratch this off your list
--gold and silver bullion
What else should one consider to protect themselves from violent mobs who may be heading your one's way?
You forgot food... among candles (assuming no electricity)... wood/wood pellets (for a fire in case its winter) with a fireplace/or whatever heating element you want.. there is probably a bunch more...
I think staying in place in your home if your in a sizeable metro area is the worst thing you can do despite what experts think. You have to time it perfect as far as "bugging out"......before the masses try to vacate. Have a secondary location picked out
The traffic to that very good sub-forum is too low to get the kind of advice I need (specific brand names, for example).
I feel that we are entering an immediate period of civil unrest and senseless, random violence against certain innocents and I'd like as much advice as I can get as soon as possible before its too late.
So when you are at work and your kids are in school when all of this unrest starts this is going to help you how?
You would go home as soon as you can get out of work. If the social unrests only lasts and hour or two, no big deal. It's the kind that will last much longer that would be the problem.
You should really just build an underground bunker and live in it for the rest of your life.
You're naive.
