Preparing a bit for what is to come in Europe with this orange baboon at the helm in the USA now. Got plenty water, water filters, plenty fuel and a heater, petrol lamp, lots of canned and dry foods, power (105Ah battery), dc-dc converter for the appliances, solar panel and blankets. Feeling a little bit better prepared. What is your approach?

Getting to know the folks in my local community, mostly through volunteering at a desaster response agency. I think if SHTF, the folks around me (and personal preparedness as you outlined) will be my best chance of survival.

Also, I've got a well oiled bicycle with a collection of spare parts that's enough to essentially build a second one, and enough consumables to probably last a lifetime because I don't want to rely on roads being travellable or gas being available. · 1 year ago
