Emergency Preparedness / Prepping

+1. A can opener is a must-have. I keep at least three hand-crank can openers on hand. I can find them at garage sales for 10-50 cents.

I used to have several P38s but I've somehow managed to misplace them. Need to get some more.

Really shouldn't have to be said in this forum - aside from JAR - but make sure your vehicles are in proper running order.

Or have one that isn't painfully obvious. In case I have to leave my house, the Z is probably staying in the garage. Easier to blend in with the common everyday Honda or Ford.....


Besides, the Z can't handle all the ammo.....

While searching for some other stuff, I ran across this prepping site. Haven't made it past the page posted below but what I'm reading makes a lot of sense for those who, like me, aren't preparing for SHTF. We just want to be ready for "normal" emergencies that will only last a few weeks.

Get some books on first aid, prepping, survival, and food. The Boy Scout Hand book and Field Books are really good. You want books, not on-line reading. Because when the power goes out. You'll have something to read, and you can write notes in the books too.

Don't rely on Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. Because when the power and internet goes out. How are you going to get it?

Being a trained first responder, and hazmat tech. If there is a spill or a release of anything toxic. Remember to go uphill, up steam, and up wind. Some stuff will have a 10ft safety radius. Others will have a 5 mile safety radius.

Cash is king... but if SReallyHTF, cash is worthless... gold and silver.

I've seen good arguments for both sides of precious metals, gems, etc. Just depends on if you think other people will place any value in them. For a SHTF/ITEOTWAWKI situation, I tend to side with the "they will be worthless, stock up on food, tools, toilet paper, etc to barter with" folks. In less dire circumstances, metals/gems might be a good option. YMMV

I still have both and I have an old Air Force Survival manual that my uncle gave to me. Only challenge is that it's a heavy sumbitch....

The service training books are a good read too.

I get one magazine. That is OffGrid. Lots of good articles in it.

Excellent choice. After a certain year, they dropped a lot of the info. IIRC, it was some time in the late-80s maybe early-90s, possibly with the 10th edition, but wouldn't swear to that.
