it still amazes anon that all anons are not full fledged preppers. WTF?
repost:
"Any household with less than a year+ of food, meds, water capability will be the most dangerous people around in a war/ collapse/grid down environment, and that will be about 90% of the population. Even if a lot die off in the first phase, their homes will be high risk, yet useless, scavenging opportunities as they are not prepped.
This is what I have been teaching for a long time:
"Buy food! Grow food! Raise food! Store food!
Store water, have triple redundancy to procure, treat, and purify water. (distill, filter, iodine tabs, chlorine, etc)
Have the knowledge and ability to manage human waste.
Have antibiotics, trauma first aid skills and resources, and the means to manage wounds long term without escalation to higher care (learn and practice basic first aid and above- tccc Tactical Combat Casualty Care w/ MARCH-E algorithm).
Have hand tools and skills and reps for defense, repair, food, etc
Have physical fitness and endurance as a priority.
Experience fasting.
Have situational awareness skills trained and drilled. Hand to hand self defense (especially from abduction, mandatory skills for kids and ladies)
Evacs and rally points known, trained, and drilled.
Sound, light, and movement discipline understanding and practice
Agreed upon rules of engagement with tribe/mag, including lines of fire, and "friendly" ID and approach
Agreed upon rationing plan with family, with group.
Delegation of labor and tasks plan.
Comms plans.
Have bug out plans known and drilled.
Drill at night, in bad weather, with simulated injuries, broken/lost gear.
Have known triggers- if A happens we do X. Consider - bad guys, fire, tornado, long term power outage, and rate and direction of approach.
Have separated party plans (if comms and power are offline while group is separated or away from primary location).
Have supply caches on bug out routes or rally locations, etc
Have paper maps of AO and routes. Know local topography and that on bug out routes.
Have working knowledge of walking distance water sources, caves, mines.
Have the ability to downsize from primary location to vehicle to foot, without need to repack or commit time.
Decide what is worth defending with your life and find consensus with team- food? location? people? etc
Share afterlife requests, and terminal injury/illness preferences.
Pray.
Endure.
there is probably more, but my notebook is away from me ATM. :)
All plans should be PACE fortified -
Primary
Alternate
Contingency
Emergency"
