What items, training, skills and resources do I need to survive the incoming global collapse ; bank -possible abolition of money- , global famine, WW3, balkanization+dictatorships everywhere, etc
I want to buy pic related to heal myself or basic emergency aid stuff. Do I pack up antibiotics? PReP pills in case an end-times harlot gives me syphilis?
Is it worth it buying and learning to use independent radio catchers, communications, radiation measurers?
I think for any sort of hard times you should trust in the Lord
I know that when SHTF cities will be a literal death-trap. I DO hate liberal cit*es, but speaking objectively, I can survive much more in an isolated rural area.
I have the chance to complete a school teacher course I started years ago; 2 more years to finish, and then I can easily get a job and possibly accommodation on a rural school farm settlement mountain compound
I guess that should help a lot more in my chances of surviving and surviving to old age
>He thinks shtf will be Escape From New York
What will you do when all of the city slickers come to your farm settlement forcefully?
I dont know who you think I am, but its not "My" farm.
its a rather big community.
>I would poison everything and flee, tho
This. The holy spirit speaking via david says I have never seen the righteous begging bread (psalm 37). God will provide or He will decide when we give up the earthly body. Especially ESPECIALLY if the shtf is coinciding with a world government and a “messiah” being recognized in Jerusalem aka the Antichrist. in that case, it would be time to get last minute rewards in heaven vs hiding in a toilet paper survival shelter.
When God told Noah the flood was coming, did Noah say "God will provide" or did he start building a boat?
He started building a boat because God told him to all the way down to the materials to use and the dimensions. The boat wasn’t man’s wisdom. Noah got mocked at the time. The horse is prepared against the day of battle but safety is of the lord.
Lot had the best life of the Bible. God saves you from your town being destroyed and kills your cheating degenerate wife. Then has both your daughters frick your drunk ass until they are both pregnant. I don't even know what lesson God is getting at here, but the dude has style!
Kek one of the funniest parts is that Lot’s daughters thought there no other man left in the entire earth, like they lived through the apocalypse and now it’s time for daddy day care
radio is fun, but dont really expect it to be useful if you have no one to call, i tend to monitor law enforcement and firefighters but never for much of anything practical
I used to do this but the local agencies went encrypted recently. It was usually just methoids fighting at the roach motel and fat people having heart attacks at burger king anyway.
In nursing school I found out I had access to the computer system of a network of hospitals. I checked their emergency room current patients. I thought oh this is going to be good. Dehydration x 6, chest pain, pain, possible drug overdose. There was one car accident. Not even a broken bone or cuts anywhere. It was the most boring shit everywhere.
Life seems to be either boring, or horrifying. Not much of an in between.
The #1 priority for a SHTF loadout is that your base kit needs to be under 50 pounds and your weapons all need to be concealable in some manner. You cannot depend on having access to vehicular transportation and you might have to travel through areas under martial law or surveillance by international peacekeepers who are agressively engaging anyone who appears to be offering resistance to whatever the powers that be are trying to carry out.
When you think you've figured out your base kit, go hike with it through 10 miles of wilderness and then 10 miles of city in a single trip, figure out why you were completely wrong and moronic, identify and eliminate useless dead weight, repeat until you actually have a functional system.
>The #1 priority for a SHTF loadout is that your base kit needs to be under 50 pounds and your weapons all need to be concealable in some manner.
No. The number one priority is that it should be flexible and adjustable.
Unless you're 100% sure of what exact form SHTF is going to take (and in that case you're an idiot) then you need to be able to adapt it to whatever situation is at hand. In many cases yes, a light-weight and unobtrusive foot-mobile setup is the way to go. In other cases you very well may be able to travel by car in which case a 50 lb kit means you're missing a lot of gear that might come in very useful.
If your base kit isn't light enough to carry then it has very little flexibility. If you have access to a car then you can just carry whatever additional bonus items you want.
>bug out
this is a dumb meme and I'm glad everyone but you dropped it.
>When you think you've figured out your base kit, go hike with it through 10 miles of wilderness and then 10 miles of city in a single trip, figure out why you were completely wrong
I will agree to this. I also include 2.5G H2O at a heavy price.
A white community, farmland, and a tradwaifu.
>a bag of ARs and AKs are way down the list
>I want to buy pic related to heal myself
That seems like a fine kit, just understand that a trauma kit like that is designed to extend life until secondary care can be found. Basically, that bag will buy you 4-12 hours of time to get yourself unfricked. Not trying do discourage you at all, just understand the purpose of the gear you get.
Most people have no concept of how many bandages/dressings they will go through for even a simple second degree burn, let alone an infected post-surgery wound.
I would want an IFAK or trauma kit to get me to medical care, a minor surgery kit + someone trained to use it (paramedic/nurse), a few courses of big-boy antibiotics, and a frick ton of sterile gauze squares and triple antibiotic ointment for healing. If you have arterial damage, you better know an honest to god surgeon and have a operating microscope and absorbable sutures.
By far the most neglected medical prep is a damn tetanus booster. Rusty nails kill more people than gunfights.
All you need is raw organic honey in a small vial. It's antibacterial, promotes heading better than anything else you can buy, and has an infinite shelf life. I've literally treated cuts down to the bone with nothing but honey that healed fine with no hospital visit and no stitches.
I swear by honey (and products like medihoney) for moderately severe burns and superficial scrapes, you just have to make sure you've thoroughly cleaned (and ideally sterilized) the wound first. Honey won't fight an infection borne by foreign debris below the skin. For that you need oral/IV antibiotics or a superhuman immune system.
For penetrative trauma or deep lacerations I really would advise proper irrigation and standard triple antibiotic ointment, and even then only if you absolutely do not have access to a doctor/hospital. Honey can then be used once the wound has knitted and is fantastic for reducing scarring.
>superhuman immune system.
I think that's what I have. I've had cuts you wouldn't believe that I never took any antibiotics for. I also never get sick.
Given the cost of pure honey now I think pet antibiotics are much cheaper.
They require a prescription now.

Just have double of your basics
>1-2 extra large packs of TP
>closet full of canned foods, noodles, rice, other doxed goods
>few packs of extra batteries
>couple of good sized first aid kits
>shelf of useful books
>couple of guns and few hundred rounds of each caliber you own
>learn some basic skills(repairing appliances, mechanic work, first aid, cooking, basic survival)
>be healthy and exercise
>keep your fricking mouth shut about your supplies and skills
These will keep you safe in 99.9% of all reasonable disasters. If you still die it was unavoidable
If you can't decide whether to bug in or bug out you got a problem. If you can't understand that bugging out leads to a bug in you got a problem.
One dude who couldn't decide had a neat idea. He wanted to set up 2 car ports in his area of operations. So his goal was to stay bugged in at home but if he couldn't he would head to one of those car ports. To anyone passing by they just looked like car ports in the middle of no where. In reality he had supplies buried under them. The car port could catch rain water and were ready to mount solar panels on. Ideally he would pull a camper under but the supplies at each site was good for a year even if he lived in a tent and got there by motorcycle or even bicycle.
Is this adequate for defense? I have some JHP rounds but much more lawman and federal FMJ
I want to know if in an emergency, if the better rounds were gone these could be pressed into use and work good enough against a typical assailant.
FMJ would work. Make your shots count. What kind of gun is it? Please don't say LCP
LCP
I have better guns but it’s my CC of choice
for .380 you could make the argument that the FMJ is better since some .380 hollow points struggle to get sufficient penetration when they do expand.

I hate when my bullets are stopped by the liver/brain/anyothervitalorgan

>moron who thinks ballistics gel is 1:1 with a human body and you'll only shoot people standing square with you
It turned out to be a big deal at Miami Dade when one of the rounds went through the arm of the suspect and stopped just short of his heart. If it'd gone just an inch or two further it would've stopped him almost immediately.
also transfer of energy doesn't really matter since the temporary stretch cavity can't do permanent damage like a rifle.
For a total apocalypse, make sure your underground bunker is fully stocked, lol.
For realistic shtf scenarios:
>Food
>Water
>Shelter (Your own house/apartment you can hide out in)
>Gun(s)
>First aid
>Fueled up vehicle
>Life skills
>Common sense
I just ordered pic related and my plan is whatever is in this + HAM radio + AR-15 and CC pistol.
Source? I'm in.
Why do you need a source for a book with a title right there on the pages?
Lazy.
that's an abusive cult, man
an abusive cult that makes a pratice of having 1 year of supplies on hand for hundreds of years, does missonary work in 3rd world countries and does charity work providing disaster relief to places after hurricane, tornados, etc.
can't really think of a better resource.
NTA, none of that stuff matters when they are wrong about how to be saved
>judging
Anon...
Yes, judging. False doctrine about salvation can be judged every day of the week and twice on sundays. Matthew 7 only applies if you are judging them for something you're guilty of yourself.
Galations 1:8 says "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!".
Interesting how it specifies the false doctrine coming from an angel from heaven. False religions like Islam or stupid Mormonism claim to get their nonsense from an angel who came down preaching a different gospel.
>Galations 1:8
True enough, brother. I don't condone thier religion, do atest it is heresy, but do respect their family values.
lol the latter day saints?
Laugh all you want, they take preparedness seriously
Mormons have regional depots where followers can be stocked with bulk dry goods/rations
I think their doctrine is a years worth on hand for the household
I can do all that minus the nonsense
>years worth on hand for the household
Min. More like 3, not Mormon tho.
I think the most likely near term scenario is a rapid devaluation of the US $ which will lead to an economic collapse.
Ways to insulate yourself and your family from a collapse in the purchasing power of the US $ include :
- quality farm land , rural and isolated
- a reliable clean water source on the land
- quality shelter
- firearms
- a quality AK or AR pattern rifle for self defense
- a quality 9mm pistol with high capacity magazines such as the HK VP9 w/ 17 round mags
- a 12 gauge shotgun
- a quality bolt action rifle with a quality scope
- ammo
- 1,000 rounds of long gun ammo
- 500 rounds of pistol ammo
- a quality wife
- 1 ounce gold coins
- 1 ounce silver coins
>- a quality wife
So we're all doomed. I knew it.
One upside of the grid going down is that feminism would end within 24 hours.
totally worth it then
>back to the washboard and treadle sewing machine, wench!
>feminism would end within 24 hours.
I wouldn't mind crushing all cell phn and ending the transcabaret bs.
I personally think another toilet paper shortage is a more likely scenario.
>Ask your doctor for a large quantity of low dose antibiotics because you are planning a 2+month trip in south America. Have a lie about hiking or charity work.
>Learn a social hobby and an useful 'rustic' hobby
>Get involved in coaching youth sports, most African warlords were given power by ambitious teens they supplied with guns
>Join a precision shooting or clay shooting club to broaden your shooting skills
>"Grass fed, free range' and "GMO free, pesticide free" is how people who can't use the organic label advertise
Main thing you should be prepping is your body. If you can't run for an hour straight you're already dead. If you can't function in a calorie deficit you're already dead. If you can't sit still literally doing nothing and being happy doing it for 6 hours you're already dead.
I prep my body every day, 3 times a day. I have gradually been upgrading my dragon dildo size.
