True, just don't make it your Plan A.
You have no idea how many people believe they are just going to take their family out in the woods and be deer hunters... LOL
Well a little advice from a woodlander, woodland folk usually all carry guns. They are very cautious, and are extremely territorial.
Unless the woods are in a State park, they are most likely privately own. In a SHTF scenario, shoot first, ask questions later, will most likely be the rule of the day.
Now the government has its own rules about who owns what in a SHTF scenario, so don’t be surprised if it takes the stance that it owns everything.
Everything you “think” is yours. Your land, your stores, even you. For the good of the many you know.
Oh, that reminds me, I got an old "golden horde" survival post I need to find over there before it is wiped. I am just going to find all the rest of my old survival posts and stick them here.
Important Things You Need When Hunkering Down During SHTF
We have something called "Continuity Of Government" which superseded Civil Defense decades ago.
Most people seem to envision "Madmax" which believe it or not is the least likely scenario.
If the Government cannot keep control, they will bunker up and centralize assets and allow chaos for 3-18 months (one good winter kill). Once the chaos has subsided, those assets will be utilized to restore order and the government.
Plan on a survival plan to last 18 months at least.
A few things to add:
A 275 gallon tote filled with water is a nice to have in your garage or basement.
A few multi packs of Bic lighters is nice to have.
A couple layers of Christmas wrapping paper or garbage bags blacks out windows quite well.
Never, ever get on the FEMA bus.
Concealment is better than fortification. Nobody is coming for your stuff if nobody thinks anything is there. (If possible)
Hypothetically, anyone trying to take your stuff or force you off your property may be a deadly threat to you and your family regardless of the gang tat, badge, or uniform the people may be wearing.
If you are surprised by someone knocking on your door, you have a very bad security plan.
Night vision is your friend if you can afford it.
Like Food and Ammo, you can never have too much duct tape.
Water purification (already mentioned) is crucial. (sawyer, lifestraw, alexapure pro, big berkey) Buy a couple of these options now.
Again, Never, ever, ever get on the FEMA bus.
And if you will confess with your mouth our Lord Yeshua, and you will believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall have life.
