Not trying to be an alarmist, but I wounder how many here are prepared to shelter in place or "self quarantine" if it came to it to protect their family? I'm talking food, water, medicine and possibly protective gear ample enough to survive without outside contact for what, a month, maybe more? Guns and ammo are great, but they won't help you against a virus.
Just a thought.
Do you have enough tin foil for all the hats in your house?
Camp is where you make it.

I always maintain the ability to do that for a few months, if need be. Standard practice.

Not as prepared as we want to be, but probably much better-off than 90% of the general population. Location is critical, and so is food, water,lots of bleach( 50# of powdered calcium chloride makes a lot of bleach) and medical stores! memtb

I'm in a fairly urban setting....1.5 million legal residents and 1-2 million illegal residents. Gonna be pretty hard to do much from where,I sit surrounded by 3- 3.5 million other fuggers trying to make it. Our best bet is to break for the west if we have enough heads up, otherwise we'll do what we can and even consider Shrapnels view!

I jus got a box of Omaha steaks, should be good for a week or so.
I think the pack of dogs was the best idea so far; wonder if they'll all taste the same. I hear black dog is best. Any labs in the pack?

I'd be good till the summer, but I'd like to get a cow for milk. Goats are cheaper...for milk or meat.

I don't like shrimp and craps that much anymore, but I guess you can live off 'em.

Guns and ammo......with these everything else is obtained Yeah... until you run up against a man who also has guns & ammo, and he scatters your brains for trying to steal his goods.  L.W.

Do you have enough tin foil for all the hats in your house? do folks that buy fire insurance for their house, year after year after year need tin foil hats too? everyone has a different degree of risk assessment and probabilities I reckon. but I like more than one type insurance. I actually prefer the kind that doesn't have an annual premium. but apparently the mileage varies.
