SHTF?
You need a few hundred rounds.
Most, will never fire much of that.
Stock piles are for others,
. Agree but I'm sure to keep on hand gun(s) that will handle NATO cartridges ( read 5.56 and 9mm) and a pile of ammo for both.....knowing I wont use much of it as has been said, but I want to have it to hand out to anybody on my team that needs it..... Yes. Thats why I stock up. With extra guns and ammo

I wonder what the Ukrainians think about only having โa few hundred roundsโ for a SHTF scenario?
Whatever side you choose about the Russia/Ukraine thing, thereโs a lot to learn about urban combat happening right now. yep, Canada or Mexico could invade any day now. Mexico did, a bit over100 years ago - not sure the invasion isn't still occurring. Maybe Canada's turn?
I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon.

I think communications is key to any long term success. Comms with friends and neighbors and outlining communities to know what is and isn't coming. You seldom see people discuss comms, but if things are that bad, I'm assuming all cell and internet are down.

Is 38Super a good caliber?
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Even if they aren't but there's massive unrest - I'd throw my cell phone into the nearest lake and stay off the net.

Long term societal breakdown? I'm likin' my flintlocks. C.O.A.L. not an issue, headspaces easily, stub yer toe on primers, fuel from piss, sulfur and charcoal....not good if you live in town though.
If you live in New Orleans 4th ward...a flight of A10's wouldn't be enough.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Sure as he'll ain't pretending it's a joke and not going happen. My greatest fear is someone ending up with my stuff, including the alphabet agencies. Do you fight or flee with all you can carry? Do you burn your house - bunker with everything you own and can't carry? Do you have your mind right? And have any kind of plan of when you're going to throw the towel in and go for broke? Life's good live it while you can.

Part of the mental game will be knowing what to let go, possession wise, and what to fight for.
If someone wants to loot my motorcycle - I let it go. No sense burning ammo/energy for something that has little use in a SHTF scenario (it's a harley not enduro)

SHTF..... Total Societal Breakdown...... Ya'll talking about some of the Charlton Heston Omega Man stuff? If so, what you need to do is sell most of your guns, and get a small plane and learn to fly. That way when this deranged fantasy of the only people left in the US are roaming gangs of longhaired thugs wearing tires for armor, you just jump in your plane and fly down to Belize or the Caymans where you should have stashed your cash offshore ahead of time and let Thor and Achilles fight it out while you tan at the beach. Look at it this way, at the rate of illegal immigration, there will be no natives left in Latin America in a year or two, so start scouting the abandoned land in the tropics.

Omega man in the US pretty much means close to it elsewhere. Of what use would cash be? The country that produced it no longer exists. Learning to sail and navigate/plot courses - supreme value. Think more like Maximum Overdrive

How many guys in this thread are taking daily meditations? Medication, medical treatment and clean water are huge problems in such a scenario.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

The recent lockdown and ongoing supply chain issues have served to show us just how vulnerable and dependent on outside forces many of us are.
The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.

Question - how many are taking daily meds that they might not need?
You see the commercials - "Headaches? Happens on full moons in the month if June? Take this once daily pill, 365 days a year to prevent an issue that happens 3-7 times a year" - likely many (not all) can pare down their medication requirements. Much of what people take today is for better quality of life, not necessarily survival of life.
Would we all want better quality - yep but I'm not gonna risk my life over it. I'd learn to adjust until things got good again.
