Do you have anything prepared in the event of a massive emergency? - Please be serious

[AN/ALR56]

Yeah, bug out bags, emergency stores, back up plans, some uncle living in the middle of bumfuck,nowhere where you can escape to, etc.

I'm kinda fascinated by watching cold war era civil defense movies.

 

[NIGGO KILLA]

i have a knife and a pack of sno balls under the bed

first aid kit too

guess i gotta get more stuff

 

[ES 148]

I keep all my camping equipment from my recent wild camping trip packed into my wardrobe (washed and cleaned, of course!). More so I have it together if I want to camp again than in case of an emergency, but it's pretty extensive.

 

[Tranhuviya]

I strip naked and cover my entire body with oil, as to better slide away from my pursuers.

 

[Cripple]

Guns and ammunition, k-rations for a month, first aid kit with suture kit as I can place suture, 100 hour candles, pet carriers, pet food stash, emergency gallons of water, and water in the car as I often drive through the desert.

Pretty sure I could survive for about a month w/o electric and food in my house and take out looters if I had to.

 

[NIGGO KILLA]

also nows the part were i mention i have 2 terabytes of anime/movies/tv on a hard drive

combine that with the terabyte of porn i have i can use that for barter when trading for supplies

 

[m0rnutz]

Lighter, A bigass coil of string, knives, files, a rock hammer, a nail hammer, hacksaw blade, seeds.....shit I forgot to include clothes.

 

[UselessRubberKeyboard]

Meths burning stove and a MASSIVE sack of teabags. Nothing else is needed.

 

[Nien Nunb]

Two box cutters, a backpack, and old Star Wars action figures, in case that's the accepted currency in the apocalypse.

I think I'm set.

If it's that bad of an emergency lure someone into your home who has supplies and kill them. Keep using supplies as bait for more people. Just keep zip ties on hand. Once you get one of those around their neck just rope a dope them until they collapse.

 

[Bugaboo]

In the event of an emergency I am prepared to sit down and die

 

[The_Truth]

3 months of food, 10k rounds of .223 and 2500 rounds of 9mm

I live in an semi urban area and I know I'd have to put down a fair number of "good boys" before they got the message to move on

You also have free food with all those bodies.

Bugout bag. I keep it in the closet.
Got dried food, water bottles, bandages, sutures, painkillers, matches, led flashlight, batteries, blankets (the super compact ones), pocket saw, road flares, map of the city, monocular, and a few of those giant glowsticks you get at military surplus stores.

I keep it next to the gun safe, and I keep the guns loaded, so ideally in case of an emergency, I could be equipped and out in under a minute.

A buddy of mine keeps 100+ lbs of salt. He's convinced that it will be more valuable than gold.

Spoiler: Spoiler

I keep enough ammo to take his salt, should he prove correct.

What type of guns? If they're not revolvers/shotguns and use a magazine system, you shouldn't keep them loaded, because keeping a magazine loaded will cause the spring in it to lose it's elasticity and ruin it. Keep your ammo in stripper clips instead. Oh, and make sure you practice with them.

 

[The_Truth]

If you're serious about having food on hand, aside from the obvious can goods these really don't taste that bad

And sure taste better than nothing.

They are, in fact. I have a few different revolvers and a Kel-Tec KSG.
I'm not a huge fan of semiautomatics. Too temperamental.

If I ever move into a bigger place, first things on the list to get are the following.

Equipment for the smelting of lead either raw or melt the bars. An electric smelter since its easy to pour into the molds but a cast iron pot with lid so you can do it outside on a campfire and ladle cast if there is no electricity. Just gotta make sure the cast iron is marked lead so no one ever prepares food for it.
Equipment for the casting and prep of bullets/shot for reloading.
Equipment for cleaning and salvaging shell cases.
Several thousand pounds of various gun powders for reloading. With the amount being constantly renewed.
Two hundred thousand primers of various calibers plus the book and equipment to make primers if needed. Stash will be constantly refilled.
The equipment to put the primer, gunpowder and bullet into the round.
Several hundred lead bars.
At any given time 100k bullets that can be put into rounds of various calibers.
Shotgun reloading equipment.
Enough parts to make 25 k shotgun shells of various gauges.
15k shotgun shells of various gauges ready to use.
50k factory rounds of various calibers.

The parts and how to guides to make various full auto machine guns from parts you can buy at the hardware store. Yes these books are legit, people have made fully functional machine guns from the instructions.

It takes often a year for the spring to get bad from having rounds stored in the mag. Its why you are recommended to once a year go to the range and use your carry handgun or home defense gun if it is mag feed.

Oh revolvers don't leave the bullets in there for years. Gunsmiths will tell you of the guns that rusted from the owners leaving the bullets in the revolver for years and not oiling the gun every year or two.

I think YOU might be better off with just the salt.
