The big conundrum is deciding what to prep for. One prep does not fit all. When watching the “Prepper” series on TV, I saw very extravagant prepping, such as massive stocks of food and supplies, that could be useless, depending on the problem/disaster. It looked like the majority of the preppers were living in God awful areas, mainly desert lands.
My idea of prepping is to have a reasonable bug-out bag. In addition, everyone should have a passport, just in case of a political disaster, or any that might require crossing an international boarder.
Where are you going to go to?
To me, living in a small apartment in an out of the way area is best and yes, having a passport is crucial. People should set up their own contingency plan and also maintain a simple bank account, nothing like having multiple accounts for multiple reasons, staying streamlined is vital. Nothing that grabs attention.
Being able to move and move quickly is important.
You live on an island in the Philippines so naturally the only way out for you is your passport and your “reasonable” bug-out bag, and the hope some plane stops by.
Those of us preppers who have a definite home in this country of which we are a citizen, have a considerable bug-out bag and plenty of stored food at home and ways to provide water and light and warmth and coolness and ways to cook and have our own security - we do not need to flee the country and go where these things are not available or limited.
One thing we manger dawgs and other patriotic FReepers won't have to prep for is being a stranger in a strange land, where the formerly smiling natives won't be so friendly anymore. Another thing we won't have to prep for is a dull, rusty Muzzie machete being applied to our throats. Yet another thing we won't have to prep for is trying to survive among people who not only don't speak our language, but who don't share our culture and heritage.
Think you're going to just hop on a plane and jet off to another "friendly" country? Ha...guess again. WTSHTF, there will be nowhere safe for Americans, or in your case, turncoats who used to be Americans. You'll meet your fate on foreign soil...we manger dawgs will meet ours defending our homes, right here on American soil.
Coward.
