Topping off preps?

submitted by Version6 to whatever 8 monthsAug 28, 2024 16:03:39 ago (+9/-0)     (whatever)

Are any of you topping off preps in case anything goes south before the end of the year? How long are you prepping for?

Two is one
One is none

Three you're done.

If you add an extra family on to your own all of a sudden you are no longer prepared.

Always prepare for exactly who is welcome when shtf.

I don't know why I get so suspicious of these kinds of questions? But to answer you the answer is always "ammo." Doesn't matter what kind or how many, just more.

In the lawless land of civil war, ammo is king.

Yeah for whatever reason it raises peoples suspicions. Mostly I'm asking so that people can think about it and begin topping off if they haven't already. Maybe nothing happens but it can't hurt to have what you need just in case.

Also, prep questions include "are you prepared to eat the traitorous?" Not literally. People think some people aren't above taking some shit. A certain segment of this landscape haven't even begun to think of ways to enrich themselves at the expense of others as has been done to us for a hundred plus years.

Even for guns you don’t own. Its legal tender.

Don't forget to rotate stock.

Lot of people make the mistake of buying canned goods as preps. Some percentage of the seals fail after about a year or two even under good storage conditions.

Besides freeze-dried food and seeds (for fresh vitamins) the most important thing you can do is figure out how to turn plastic/used oil into diesel and gasoline. The setups for doing this are dead simple, so much so that street shitters in india and pakistan do it in their yards.

Access to fuel is going to be a live or die subject if or when shit goes south.
And an abundance of used oil and plastic is available for making fuel, however dirty or cheap it may be.

And sandbags. Lots of sandbags. Even people 20-100 miles outside a major population zone will experience attempted home invasions and organized groups of intruders under civil disorder and national emergency conditions.
A bullet wound is infinitely more fatal in a disaster with no access to trauma surgeons.
Sandbags are cheap. Get some.

As are little craft bells (less visible than tin cans) and fishing wire for tripwire alerts.
Dogs are even better in a pinch.

edit: black, camo green, and high-vis spray paint make for good visibility markers at different ranges, which is important when holding off home invaders at a distance, even if you're a good shot. If you know the spacing of the lines, you can use that to eyeball range in an instant the moment they cross one of the lines when heading toward your property. It means you don't necessarily need a range finder, or have to calculate distance.

Also windsocks or something similar for windage if you have a lot of property to cover.

Look up. Drone time. Evergreen vegetative foliage may assist.

Look up. Drone time. Evergreen vegetative foliage may assist.

I raise you: drone gun.

Heres the parts you will need to build one:
1. a plasma tube
2. a microwave pump
3. an old microwave someone threw out on the side of the road
4. a spare satellite dish

edit: specifically, you want a travelling wave tube for wide band continuous power.

You may need some other parts like an upconverter, but those are parts any workshop should have laying around by default.

Mount it on any digitally controlled ac motor, with a wooden stand, some basic vision software such as COCO, and tune for drone shaped objects.

The additional modification to make it an anti-drone microwave autoturret is a weekend or two of work and well worth the effort.

You can also rip military footage from numerous platforms, and do some basic fourier transforms to get the non-audible infrasound (IS) of most drone types, which to this day several platforms haven't filtered out despite encoding.
Building a IS profile detector for incoming drones is probably two weeks of work if you're already busy.

Or, if you prefer avoidance, flares, and camo with handstitched thermal blankets on one side. Also works good for disguising the heat signature of a vehicle's engine when attached to the hood (beware of overheats naturally).

naturally keep it within legal power output limits, kek.

No money.

I just made a list of where all the libtards are in my neighborhood, so I'll just go there first to get my stuff when shit pops off

You’re a punk.
That’s no way to think.
I hate fats like you who would go steal from anyone.
Make yourself.
Don’t take from others.
You’ve just proven what a piece of shit you are.

Something to note, unless you're going to be literally sitting in a box all day, you are going to use a lot more calories. A fighting man will use anywhere from 3,000 to 13,000 calories a day.

Nice try, Agent Shekelstein.

Lighten up Francis.

Maybe 4 boxes of mres, maybe another 4 of the food buckets. 40-60 pounds of dry storage, 25 gallons of water and various filters and lighters and such. Iodine (radiation), medical kit and other tools to keep my family safe.

I probably wouldn't even touch actual emergency supplies until 10 days in to a real problem.

They have these space nutrient tablets- supposedly you won't get hungry but it will use the fat from your body. I got a 4 pack I think. I like the idea of those.

Food is unlimited, no need to stock up. I found out a long time ago that cops, politicians, officials, people wearing ties and so on are edible.

I have enough 'resources' to obtain all the weapons and ammo I could want from the faggots who don't know how to hang on to theirs.

Water would become the biggest pain in the dick, but workable.

[ - ] NoRefunds 1 point 8 monthsAug 28, 2024 20:23:01 ago (+1/-0)

are edible

Hope you like spike proteins

No I'm gonna take it from my neighbors because they are utter garbage and then move on down the line. Some yuppies/jews built a big mansion near me so I might make it my base. In Meinkraft, of course

I'm totally stocked and prepped. One thing to consider which may get overlooked, if your NBC mask filters are not enclosed in plastic, be a good idea to buy a new set. Interestingly enough, everyone if Israel has one they say, and buying from an israeli company means you'll get a NATO spec and have access to filters inexpensively. The US masks are excellent but damned expensive.

I had bought a child size for every child on the block. Wish I'd recorded their faces when I told one kids parents that I had one for their kid, but none for them. LOL. We're still friends.
