Anyone preparing for SHTF in an apartment?
My first choice is to pack up as much as possible in the SUV and get my wife and myself to my parents house. But, that includes a 3 hour drive on interstates and at least a half tank of gas, so I am a little nervous.
Please share any tips you have...
What is your preferred SHTF scenario and why?
Personally, I go with a Zombie Infestation. It seems that I am trained to handle it better thanks to Call of Duty, and a number of movies. Also, Zombie Infestations are pretty standard and have little variation in circumstances.
And, most...
Think twice about bartering something that can be returned to you from 100 yards away. Bartering ammo that might be shot back isn't good.
My place is the assembly point for my family. It's 30 miles though so it could take them a few days to get here. Wood stove. Neighbor has a backhoe to dig...
Question for FerFal ... RE: SHTF rifles - Glock Talk
Found this to be an interesting thread on another forum. This guys real world experience makes think about things a bit. A search on here will probaly produce some articles of his. (FerFal)
I always try and take a week's long camping trip every year where I take nothing but my SHTF equipment. I pick a different remote spot everytime and live off only what I brought, shot, or trapped. I make a list as I'm out there of what I need more of and what I brought too much of. Emergency...
Two of my brothers had new babies in the last 4 months. I asked them if they had stocked up since they have new babies. One brother I thought had his head screwed on, the other is just not on the same playing field.....
We talked about the kids and stuff they need. I asked them if they were...
if (WHEN) SHTF how will ingo-ers recognize each other if the have to go out? has anyone thought about a common radio frequency? i know its not secure but i would think teaming up to fight the zombies might be a good idea. but with no power, internet, cell phone radio would be about the only way...
can make it
can't stockpile it
can't share it
how you going to manage it in a SHTF crisis?
you can't stay up 24/7 before stress takes its toll
I need some sleep-
After reading a recent thread here I figured I would share.:)

Earlier today I posted a scenario on SHTF.com about procuring food during or shortly after a SHTF type event .
Long story short , the gist is , everyone and their brother will be fighting it out over a can of spam at the grocery store or a gallon of gas / supplies at the gas station .
I...
I picked up a few more canned foods last night at the grocery store and after I left I got thinking. Yeah, everything i have will keep me and my family alive for a while, but it'd be nice to have something sweet every once in a while also. I remembered getting skittles & tootsie rolls out of...
So the S has H the F... Now AR's and AK's, and nice HD shotguns are GREAT, but say you want to arm 6 or 7 other comrades or you dont have the hundreds of dollars to spend? I know I dont have 7 AR's..:xmad: Further yet say you want a weapons cache, stow away some guns out somewhere that need to...
Anybody ever tell you, after seeing your pantry full of food...
"Boy if the s*** hits the fan, I'm coming to your place!!"
And they are serious.
Note: Objecting to their claim would make some serious waves in your family. Think in-laws.
Gee, I would love to have another mouth to feed...
Here is an interesting satire I found for the Ingo readers.
Enjoy!
Disaster films, terminal illnesses, 2050 and 'The End'
Behavioral economists have answers. But your gut's also good at predicting. So here's what you'll likely do:
1. You'll go see the new disaster film, "2012" about the...
Someone brought up in another thread that you could easily filter your swimming pool water to drink if worst came to wost. Someone else suggested this filter:

This is a self check of your gear.
IF we were told by the powers that be, to shelter in place, how long could you stay at home without leaving to get key supplies.
As part of this drill, power and water was lost at day three, so I hope you had a chance to stockpile/store it at home...
