If you stockpile anything, it should be seeds/dirt/water/food storage methods ie dehydrator/solar batterys

-a couple Metal halide lamp kits-live fish for eating-aquarium equipment (read up on aquaponics

{{AS MUCH GARDEN COMPOST AS POSSIBLE}} - And if you can afford it get yourself a sturdy 12 gauge and lots of ammo, I like Benellis


I like the Cordoba, solid shotgun that the wife can shoot.

If you're going to extract water for drinking purposes from a natural source you need to eliminate the potential risk of harmful bacteria. Make sure you either boil it for at least seven minutes or add Puritabs www.whipperleys.co.uk... (other outlets available) - Then strain it through a clean coffee filter or muslin.

What might give you diarrhoea or a severe belly ache, can be fatal to the very young, elderly or those already in a weakened physical condition.

Get a pair of mean-looking dogs.


Apartment landlord won't allow any dogs.

Speaking of which, how would I able to use solar panels in an apartment, and In worse case, (civil war, WW3) what would happen to my housing?

What plans would be best to survive an urban area like this?

As you live next door to them, you probably know how to behave in order to avoid being a target. I would advise you to be polite, show them respect, avoid them whenever possible and don't buy a gun.

Then stop trying to be a little gangster and go buy one the legal way, with a licence, from a reputable dealer. Its not that hard.

Start investigating the outlying areas of your town for derelict buildings that have cellars. Identify as many as you can and check on them every now and again. Aslo look for water towers, large cisterns etc. Abandoned industrial areas could provide safe shelter in an emergency.

I already have the intimidating dogs on lockdown. Pitbull and a German Shepherd.

I am not currently storing food, I intend to get water purification tablets, a rain barrell, 2 guns, a bunch of ammo, and start stocking the canned goods.

Here is a thought. I drink protein and weight gainer shakes from the nutrition store. They are rich in protein, amino acids and all the like. I am not sure what the shelf life is but wouldnt these products fare well in a food rationing situation? The protein shakes I drink provide 45g of protein per serving and are 265 calories. I dont know the details off hand but the wieght gainer shakes are 1250 calories per serving. The containers they sell them in last about a month with daily use per person. The major downside to this is cost.

I think I will also make my own survival handbook, full of step by step instructions on how to make or do certain things in a survival situation. I figure if I am armed to the teeth with my 2 dogs I will be able to forrage for supplies assuming my location is a bit more remote than my current location (population 150,000).

Also being a new homeowner as of Novemeber I am looking forward to trying out my own garden and growing food. I just need to handle the rabbits in the back yard first. (They would be dog food if they didnt hide from the dogs under the deck) On the subject of the dogs, I'll have to make sure they dont try out the vegetables and spices, which shouldnt be a problem as they do not ever eat table food.
