When the brown human waste reaches the rotating blades of the room cooling device, you know it. Many people, called preppers, will warn you about what this represents. Many will say that it will be a foreign invasion. Others will relax that definition and include such natural disasters as floods and massive power outages, or, some still hold to this, zombies in the immediate area. Before any of these things actually occur, it is a good idea to plan what kind of SHTF gear you are going to want and need.
Several of the things you will not have available after whatever happens is your home. That is one of the things you will have to plan, carefully. Many preppers have constructed or modified their current homes to be their compound after the danger comes. They incorporate all of the many things they will need into this.
Since anything disastrous enough to get you out of your house is serious, the need to find shelter is just as serious. A bug out or SHTF bag has enough stuff to last about three days. The occurrences that are being talked about will last longer than that. Nothing can be left as an afterthought.
The amount, type, size and configuration of your specific survival gear will depend, largely, on the number of people in your party. You do have to deal with a shelter and it should be on high ground. It will help immensely if it is secured against the weather and possible breaches.
You will be in the position of being self sufficient. This means power should be provided by a generator or, better still, nothing electric and heat provided by fireplace or pit. A few tools will ensure that all repairs needed can be accomplished.
You will not be able to trust public transportation if it is even running. The preppers you have talked to or heard about will have an old, non computer assisted vehicle such as a Land Rover or truck, possibly even a travel home. Repair manuals for whatever you have are critical. It does not help to have the largest vehicle in the now reduced neighborhood if it breaks down before you get back on track.
The subject of security should never be far from your mind as you are going through these preparations. Knifes, certainly, need to be accumulated, sharpened and handy. Guns are, sometimes, a necessity and should still be handled safely. Plenty of ammunition can be hoarded before there is a real need for them and stored carefully. For those occasions, such as the foreign invasion or zombies, make sure you have a reloading station set up and you will rarely be out of ammunition.
Remember, to survive a holocaust of problems, a disaster or invaders of the human variety, the best thing to have handy is your common sense. Surviving for a day or two can seem like a camping trip but enduring for more than a month takes careful planning, knowing what is needed and gathering it together for your whole group. The things you need for when the SHTF, for real, must be secured, stored, clean and ready when needed.
