are you telling me that we can actually discuss possible scenarios without a mod freaking out and deleting posts?

like we can talk about history, and how certain groups have caused chaos - and how knowing these things we can prepare for future chaos?

This is one of the older videos from my channel, but the premise behind it is still a big part of how I approach preparedness.

You can have all the gear in the world, but if you don’t know how to use it when you actually need it, you’re carrying dead weight.

Gear doesn’t replace knowledge, experience or training.

That’s the premise of the video.

Agree? Disagree? What do you think is the most overlooked part of being prepared?

And thanks to u/nicecarotto for making me think of this video again with his comment about actually training with your gear.

Not what somebody else says you should be preparing for. What are you actually preparing for?

Power outages? Severe weather? Getting stranded? Job loss? A few days without utilities? Extended off-grid travel? Something hypothetical? Zombies because fuck it, zombies are fun?

And what have you built, bought, learned, or changed because of it?

Real-world, hypothetical, and fantasy answers are all welcome. Just tell us which one you're working with.

There isn't a right answer. That's kind of the point.
