Personally, I am well armed and a real good shot.
I finally broke down and purchased a Beretta Px4 Storm from
Airgun Depot. A Gunny on YouTube made the recommendation for an economical method to keep in practice. I like it and provides a much cheaper way to stay sharp. Both my wife and daughter were immediately attracted to (just got to stop the Daughter from playing gangsta shooting) it. Just something to look at.
I agree on the precious metals. Been prepping for almost 13 years. I know people are being myopic on their preps. There will ultimately be a new new in the long run. This brings me to another point on preps. If there is going to be a new new, then preps should also include some charitable considerations.
I know I'm preaching to the choir, however the majority of people are completely blind to what is coming. Smart people. Decent people. I live in a rural area so once I take care of the extended family it may be much easier to take care of my neighbors and then some. I know I could not turn away hungry people or children. I have thought through many scenarios. I guess just as easily I could also end a threat.
Just something to share. There will be a new new. Preparing means not sinking to the primal depths of places like Stalingrad, Warsaw and North Korea. I firmly believe this is what extended and in depth prepping is all about.
Thanks for letting me share.
I agree. There is readily predictable “fatal terrain” during the transition to the new-new.
“Smart professionals” who think they are in a great place in a downtown condo are maybe the stupidest folks I know.
Sarajevo is going to be a common pattern. A city condo tower without power is nothing but a death trap, surrounded by “sniper allies.”
The key to survival is location, and a little luck. With a mobility E&E plan in case your area becomes a battle ground in spite of your planning.
