Even the Canucks got into the fun. Preacher who defied lockdowns and screamed at .gov agents to get out of his church when they tried to shut him down.
Or to their ancestors, or to their descendants. Probably doesn’t have auto insurance. Because you have it. But he’s on a gun friendly web site. Why should he own a gun? Gotta be a D.
We/I refill our prescription at the first possible day. Giving us 3 extra days of scrip meds. After doing this for years we now have a fair surplus.
It’s the catastrophe you don’t see that kills your whole family.
No you dont. For residential use, just make sure the needle is still in the green. That is all that is required. But just in case, tap the base of the extinguisher on the ground and then shake it a bit in all directions every 5 years or so. There have been instances of ancient ABC units caking up after sitting unmolested for a decade or more. (not necessary for the one in your trunk)
Actually, at first there will be. It will take a little time for them to wither away. But expect them to try enforcing things like martial law until they just cant.
Actually, I’m counting on county LEO for my first line of defense. I’m also seeing martial law to be more of a Fed. or State. sanctioned type of event. In my low density human environment situation almost everyone has either a county or town marshal as a neighbor.
I do have car insurance on every vehicle I own, as well as insurance on my house, never said I didn't.
In a true SHTF situation the line blurs between the good guys and the bad guys. If you don’t think you have to become a bad guy to survive, you need to flush out your headgear.
Thanks: most if not all of ours are metal and small, maybe 2 gallons in size, if that. Maybe one gallon. One or two in each barn. One in the garage, One in the mud room. One in the kitchen.No you dont. For residential use, just make sure the needle is still in the green. That is all that is required.

If you want to be extra cautious, Replace them every 12-15 years if they are cheap plastic head units. once again, not a requirement. (It has to do with hydrostatic pressure testing requirements, but only applicable for commercial use)
And only metal head units are worth testing. Plastic head units are considered disposable.
Unless they are one of these. Then follow the recall for a free extinguisher. Just dont keep the old one.*

*It can catastrophically fail, causing the plastic head to separate from the cylinder, filling your house, car, etc with ABC powder. (Which you will be cleaning up for months from every nook and cranny)
Well good for you, you win the internet.
Agreed about the blurred lines. I do consider myself to be a fair judge of character. I’ve been in situations that required becoming the bad guy (in others opinions).
….You must be leading a charmed life because I’ve had three flat tires in five years on my mower, I have a woods surrounding my property and they are loaded with thorn trees that I seem to find with regularity. I had a buddy traveling out west, Wyoming to be exact, and they had a flat. The spare tire which most people I’m guessing ignore was
y under-inflated. He did have an inflator which was a blessing because they were 30 miles from the nearest town. I logged all of that into my memory bank and if either scenario unfolds I’m prepared. I’m damn sure not skittish but as far as being scared of my own shadow that’s probably reasonable because my shadow scares me as well. FYI, at the time of this post I’m fully relaxed.
I’m attempting at this time to calculate the number of tires here, I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a flat tire somewhere. * this morning when I went to check the mail I had to inflate a tire on the golf cart.You must be leading a charmed life because I’ve had three flat tires in five years on my mower, I have a woods surrounding my property and they are loaded with thorn trees that I seem to find with regularity.

This is one of the reasons, among many, to meet your local sheriff and police. Both formally and informally. You need to assess whether they are likely to just "follow orders", or will ask themselves if those orders are constitutionally defensible.
This is a good point. If the government is gone, then there will be various groups and people that will take and keep power by any means. History shows that most of these will not be beneficial to ordinary people.
I was 14 when Katrina happened and it was a major impact on my views. I have family in the area that were displaced from it. My parents and I went down to help tear out drywall from their place after the area was safe again. Grocery stores had just started coming back to the area and MREs were still being given out since food was still not 100% secure. Life changing for me and I wasn't even there.
