Is this prepping for the upcoming Eschaton? A UK friend replied, "If you run out of Himalayan mountain salt you are finished." They're clever, you see, in the UK. And why, you ask with bated breath, is a Glock positioned next to the Compound's annoyingly electric stove top? Because the food might get outta hand, obviously.
More seriously, say things do get rough and EOTW as the ROL collapses and CONUS balkanizes into chaos before stabilizing into City States, regions and various fiefdoms. What then? Some preppers have it sorted out, they retreat into compound fortresses, well supplied and armed. Good for them? Maybe not so fast, think about the predators. LL commented on the range, a few years back:
Yeah, they're all holed up in their compound and then we arrive, with trebuchets and pipe canons, and they sally forth, brave defenders. We want them to do this, run into the kill box.
We went on to shoot up an old kettle with Glock .45s and what a lot fun it was, take that, worthless kettle. Regardless, sage advice from someone who knows what he's talking about, but what does it mean? Stockpile arms, ammo, food and water for sure, we're all at it. But maybe after that consider a FLYING COLUMN, like Rhodie's FIREFORCE or the Confederate Bushwhackers. To that end, learn to ride if you haven't already, and get mobile.
Short term? You might be wise to get out of cities while you can; they'll get messy when the grid goes down and it'll be hard to leave. Roads blocked and impassable, you see.
Cheers,
