good intro video for a personal SHTF

thats why we have food stores, so we dont have to go out scavenging when everyone else is and get attacked, wont do our families any good if we get killed in the general mayhem, so we have food stores and we go out later down the line after all the others have starved or been attacked and killed.

BP and IKE, i dont know about this one. I've been thinking that in the very beginning it may be possible to get some good supplies. has to be done quickly before the siutation gets too desperate and folks start killing over a can of beans. maybe the first day or two , before most people really grasp the situation. for example, a food warehouse could be hit early, whereas as the situation unfolds i'm sure it would be taken over by a gang of some sort. then its too late.

yes, this is quite possible, take the opportunity to top up your stores if you can, but having stores means we can be above the mayhem, we dont have to put ourselves in danger-where desperate people with no food stocks would. if you go to the first store and its obviously a riot situation-DONT even drive into the carpark, move on to the next place on your list.

agreed. dont plan on hitting any retail places, but warehouses are another story. its just too juicy a target.
