Remember that the "easy to defend" deal is only an allusion. If you think you have an easy to defend place, then its time to find a different
place.
You need to ask, easy to defend from what? Everyone else who thinks it too is easy to defend? Roving Gangs? Artillery and Mortars? Airstrike?
How easy to defend do you think your spot is now?
Guaranteed, if you think its easy to defend, dont think someone not in your circle hasnt figured that spot out either, or a way to get around your
defenses.
Dont know how useful your gunz are going to be, most people prefer Guns.
Ok, kidding aside. If everyone is going to go their, you have to think, well is that a place I want to really be?
Community support is a great thing, but in the opening salvo of Chaos, that is not some place you want to be. The best place would be either
defending your own castle, or if your in the city, OUT of the City in a friend or families house whom you have an agreement of mutual support and
trust with your life and families life.
A FRIEND or A FAMILY member. The less people know, the longer you live.
What should you have?
Food and water that is self contained or raw ingredients you are familiar with and can utalize easily.
A way to defend that Food and Water. Scattergun, Rifles, Pistol, a good supply of claymores.
And a Basement, no not for making your wares, but dirt and concrete stop flak a lot better then Paper, which is what your house is made of, unless you
have a concrete home with very thick walls. No cinderblock doesnt count, but is better then paper and chalk walls.
Oh, and put some food that is easily found by intruders. Better they leave with something than killing you because they know your holding out.
Living off the land is great! However, make sure you also have seeds of common foods that can easily grow in your bug out area or home and that they
are viable and you know how to grow. Think the more color the veggie has, the less vitamin suppliments you will need.
Paper money. Yes, Paper and coin money is still going to be used, even in a barter system, because that is what everyone has available to them,
though their worth may be different. Save your gold for large purchases, generators, No One is gonna make change for an ounce of gold on a purchase
of a loaf of bread.
Big Stick Theory. Make sure if you are going to let people know that you have a stick, that they are darned sure your stick is bigger then theirs.
Otherwise, keep your peace about your piece. Got it!?! Guns and ammo will be a traded commodity during mass Chaos. Buy lots of 22 shells, they have
more value then their boom content. Think how much copper is now compared to a while ago.
