All great advice. I was thinking of a combat situation against bunches of terrorist of Chinese fuktards,or whatever. I was considering plates and a helmet and such,but I don't consider it necessary yet. I do have a bug out bag and a get home bag,but I would just stay at work if things got bad, my workplace is very secure and has food stores and restaurants......
A helmet isn't useful except open warfare, training, night vision applications, and milsim. Armor has some benefit, you should get it while it's cheap. Go to hardwire armor, they have bouyant 4lb plates that are level III for $70. So cheap I bought multiples to fill the pc and an extra larger size for my pack insert.... admittedly, a level iv plate is probably better for an active shooter in today's world. But those are $100 from LAPG and weight a bit more (6-8lbs). Take a stop the bleed, a wilderness first aid, and a buddy aid course. YT makes this info free but in person courses are better because they allow hands on practice. Most prep is honestly knowledge, psychological prep, and mindset. I would store a couple food bars at your work. The non trans fat datrex bars are literally $1.50/ea and have enough food for 2-3 days, they are a 4" cube and weigh nothing, and last forever. If things go bad, you're not "food shopping or going to restaurants ". If you mean to "appropriate" food on the go as everyone panics.... Well, let's just say so will everyone else. That can be dangerous, just have your own. :)
Great advice on the plates,I will look into that. I do keep emergency food in my car,and have access to gas stations and food stores at work. My employer pretty much has their own city,at work in side the gate. I did buy a combat first aid kit.
I was heavy into prepping under biden,but not so much now.
