This is something I've told my own kids about the aftermath of a SHTF disaster.
The most dangerous times are just BEFORE people run out of food and within the first 4-weeks of running out of food. Keep in mind that, during those 4 weeks, people will steal from each other, eat dogs & cats and zoo animals, eat anything remotely edible and eventually kill others for the last remaining food. Eventually, there is absolutely nothing left.
Starving people quickly become too weak to riot, loot and roam around looking for food. They die. The few organized groups that still have food and weapons are on borrowed time until they too are in the same situation. The workers who provided clean drinking water, sanitation, electricity, food, etc... are all in survival mode (if they survived at all). Services break down to nothing.
Within 60 days, 1/3rd of people are starving (or worse). 1/3rd are affected by water borne diseases or unsanitary conditions and are in bad health. Only about 1/3rd will still be physically active but in declining health. The tipping point happens quickly. The situation escalates that fast.
When idiots are in charge of your government... things like this happen. Joe Biden was elected?
Which is why it pays to own firearms and have certain skills that most people don't bother learning. A positive mindset even during the toughest times helps, too. So does having plenty of ammo and the willingness to use it.
Which is why I make sure I stay trained up and have learned the skills necessary for my family's survival. My kids are learning those skills, too.
Fill the bathtubs when the power goes out. Also your water heater is a giant fresh water tank sitting right there. Milk jugs filled with water in the freezer is good too (crush it slightly because it will expand). You can use it to keep food in a cooler for a while then drink it when it’s melted.
Sri Lanka is an island nation and doesn't have the natural resources to feed its population, which means they've got to import food. This is a microcosm of what the NWO wants to do to the rest of the world. Starve the people into submission and they can sweep in and begin running the country without elections. I wonder what would have happened if those protesters had firearms. Think the cops would have held the line as their buddies dropped like flies or would they have returned fire until the last man was standing. If this type of situation comes to America are you willing to fire upon the cops in order to get food? Might come down to that. Support the cops but also let them know that if hungry people want food a few cops will not quell their actions unless force is used. Cops use force on people and I can guarantee that they will not exist too long afterwards.
Cops try to enforce laws for a paycheck. They don’t do it to be heroes. When the systems breaks down, everything else goes with it. A cop has no need to enforce laws that are directly hurting himself and his family. People will say Covid.
But look at what that situation was. System was for one side. Cops chose a side. When this kinda stuff goes down, everyone loses. Only people winning here, aren’t even within 1000 miles of that place. And esp if the popular firearms. Cops will fire back one day one. Day two you’ll start to see cops not showing up for work. Esp if they have losses. They are employees, not soldiers.
Military on the other hand. I don’t know. That will be the problem.
Population was tactically increased beyond the capacity of the local natural ressources. It is now subservient, unless there's some population reduction to reach equilibrium.
I think police will split three ways. Some will organize into their own little mafia on the DL. Some will say fuck this and take care of their family. The rest will be suckers who die for the state. I think those ones will be the minority.
I'm just over here canning and freeze drying food. My friend said to me the other day we'll be coming to your place when there's a food shortage. Um hell no you won't, get working on your own stuff friend.
my buddy said the same. I told him he was not interested in making SHTF plans when it was time, so now he becomes an enemy if he steps foot on my property.
Yep. If you live in a neighborhood you'd better begin to figure out who can help and who needs to be cut loose. When people begin banging on your door asking for any kind of hand out you'd better get hard hearted real quick or you will be out of food quickly. Once the nosey neighbor learns you have a stash then all of your neighbors know of you stash. Either begin building relationships with fellow preppers and rely upon them for barter or food procurement or learn how to die. Those two choices are the only one which will be available because once water and electricity go away then it is back to caveman diplomacy. Biggest club always get anything, period.
I live in an upscale white neighborhood with decent people, but if TSHTF I know who the veterans are, who the hunters are, and who the doctors are. My plan would be to recruit as many young people into a makeshift "militia" that might look like a gang. We are strategically situated so that we can control who enters our neighborhood by blocking one road.
A few of us have thought this through and realize that normal civility and charity will have no place in our lives.
We also have a few empty lots here that will make good gardens.
TnBanjoMan, I'm liking you more and more. The responses you write down are exactly how I feel. I'm getting tired of our Government taking, and taking, and taking and never giving back. When our government stops being a government we have the right to establish a new one. I wish you were in my neighbor so we could ponder what that government might look like. (Hopefully without the obnoxiosness of liberals).
Our government lost the consent of the governed several years ago. I think once the entire population comes to realize that... that it's obvious that emperor has no clothes and that We The People have been paying our tax dollars for corruption and money laundering, the jig will be up. It would take millions and millions of us to effect any real change.
As long as our elections are a Third World joke, we'll continue down the road to ruin. But I think all that is about to change.
I suspect it will happen in a blinding instant. One moment all will be calm and people will be miserable in the way of this world, and suddenly someone, somewhere will scream and the mob will turn on its master.
Look up what happened to Nicolai Ceausceau...the dictator had an iron grip on his country on the day of his final speech to the nation...48 hours later he was tied to a post and shot.
It's one of the most satisfying events of the 20th century.

Vitamins, electrolytes, water purification, dehydrated food, canned food, meds, pet food/meds, cooking fuel, weapons, first aid. Load up.
beans, bullets, bandages, batteries
...and bourbon =)
He was not.

Damn, I never thought about the poor Zoo animals. I love seeing the giraffes when we drive by, now I will see them as food.......
Look up what happened to the zoos in Venezuela.
The zoo animals were killed and eaten by the locals.
That happens after the most obvious animals are already gone. Dogs and cats go first, then rats, birds, horses... and eventually zoo animals.

The only food these crowds will get are cuts of flesh from fat politicians.
This type of situation is ALWAYS caused by inept and/or corrupt politicians. Everywhere this occurs, it's always the same.

Tamil Tigers
Chicago will be like that by September
Those riot cops wearing masks is hilarious.
You know it’s bad when they get the Buddhist priest to protest.

Study this carefully, it's a preview of coming attractions in a town near you.

This is another reason we have the 2nd amendment. To protect our property from people desperate enough to do literally anything.
Thought I was looking at Portland during the "Summer of Love"
And the MSM is....?
There is a rich neihborhood near my house. Bet they will have food
Ha ha ... doubtful.
Most living in rich neighborhoods do not cook anymore. They have less than 3 days of food on hand. Mostly eat out.
And, most think nothing bad is coming and nothing bad will ever happen to them.
Nah... That'll never happen here... Derp...
Imagine if they were armed.
Coming to a U.S. street near you.
Hopefully not, but this is [their] plan.
I would guess that the cops get whatever remaining food is available.
If they're alive
