Thread: SHTF gear

My comment in the president's speech thread got me wondering what kind of SHTF plans everyone here has, or if you have any at all.

At the moment, I don't have much. I've got a few guns and some ammo, plus some safety supplies, but that's about it. I plan on rectifying that situation shortly...

I don't have anything.

I suppose some cans of beans and bottled water would be a minumum.

.....Of course, you realize if the SHTF for real...."some" ammo just isn't going to be enough, so it's good for you to be stocking up. If you haven't bought any for a while....you're gonna get sticker shock. Ammo has skyrocketed.

Gasolene, ammo and Bourbon.

Anybody here know the "How to" for starting a Revolution?

"No taxation without representation" as was mentioned on another thread. They are taking our taxation, and using it without any representation, nor accountabilities of any sort.

I'm here in Boston, so I could go throw some tea in the harbor if that'll get the ball rolling....

I've got some loincloths and war paint

Meet me down by the waterfront at sundown....

We'll go have a few drinks, discuss razors, politics, women, and perhaps revolution. Just depends on how loaded we get....

We may end up throwing ourselves into the harbor. Tea, a couple of drunk straight shavers, it doesn't matter, we'll go down in history!

This 1846 lithograph has become a classic image of the Boston Tea Party.



The Boston Tea Party was an act of direct action protest by the American colonists against the British Government in which they destroyed many crates of tea belonging to the British East India Company on ships in Boston Harbor. The incident, which took place on Thursday, December 16, 1773, has been seen as helping to spark the American Revolution and remains to this day one of the most iconic events of the era

Oh right! That's what I needed to buy, Whiskey!

For earthquake purposes I've got MRE's, water, and quite a few means of protection. Now I'll have a bottle of Jamesons I'll need to put in a, "break glass in case of SHTF".

Don't break the glass! Then you'll have to drink straight outta the bottle...

I keep a survival bag in my truck at all times. Just in case SHTF while I’m away from home, I have enough supplies in my bag to rough it out for a few days. My bag weighs about 30 pounds and includes: Food/MRE’s/freeze dried, water, tent, water filter, extra clothing (socks especially), a jacket, sleeping bag, gloves, a multi-tool, a knife, ammo for my pistol, am/fm/noaa radio, a compass, maps, Bic lighter, small hygiene kit, zip ties, flashlight, batteries, duct tape, metal pots, a spoon, a deck of cards, bug spray, first aid kit, rope, aspirin, a few odds and ends. I also keep my Glock 26 and a cell phone on me at all times, except when I’m on campus.

I’m currently working on making my house more SHTF ready. I live in the country and own a nice chunk of land that is quite secluded, so that helps. There's a small stream that cuts across my property and it has plenty of fish. I also have a well on my property. I plant a garden every year and jar enough vegetables to last through the winter. I have a nice collection of guns for small game, big game, and personal defense and have plenty of ammo stocked up. There’s a lot more that I need to do, but I'm getting there.
