I'm thinking Mad Max scenarios, better have plenty of gas stashed away. And my first priority will be finding a prepper's compound and taking it down. Always nice to have someone do the legwork for you.

Gather group of people, have some of them be devoted to farming, others devoted to defending the farmers, go from there. I've played Dwarf fortress enough to know 7 people should be enough to start with.

I see....Your plan is flawed.

Beer-You would have enough of, but it could run out.

Ammo-In a shortage atm. At least in USA it is.

If the zombies roamed, I'd probably break into a police station to arm myself, find a horse to ride into a major city, and once my horse was eaten I'd hook up with a group of survivors only to find my wife and my best friend with them. We'd make it to the CDC in Atlanta, blow the place up, then find a cozy little farm in the outskirts of the country. A simmering resntment towards my best friend would lead to me killing him, and roving herds of zombies would force us to flee and take shelter in a prison near a cult-ish survivor camp.

That's probably how it'd go down.

There is a supplier generated shortage right now many people want guns and ammo so they are going to produce less and send less out to the market supply and demand.The ammo makers in the business of making money always remember that.That means when ammo is in high demand they sell less of it to sellers and charge a higher price which in turn means a higher price to the consumer and a "shortage".

Also If you used a shotgun you can easily produce more shot shells you can use wax to make a new sabot and make your own pellets out many different things.

Hopefully Neal would be able to keep Subsim up from his cave or basement.

I'd say that depends on what his target Prepper had set up...

That was the comforting idea about working at SAC HQ. We knew that there were at least a few SS-18's with our address.

Nice and quick.

Like Steve, I would rather be in the first group of casualties.

Now if there were a mine shaft....

The SAC HQ at Offutt? That would be the ideal place if WWIII had kicked off during the Cold War.Or any SAC base for that matter just stand outside while Buffs where are lifting of
you'd be done in about 15 minutes or so.

I love that ending scene of Dr. Strangelove mein fuhrer.Dr. Strangelove is obviously supposed to be Edward Teller.

Seeing how our old prepper thread got nuked (ironic, isn't it? ), I thought it would be approp[riuate in these times to resurrect this one, have fun.

Prepping doesn't always mean for the end of the world or collapse of society, anyone who lives on the Gulf Coast should be a little bit prepper for hurricanes.

And yeah, there is a wide range of preppers, so ymmv, some may seem irrational to you, get over it.


How to Survive the Apocalypse
- in tha New York Times, so you know it's getting serious

Quote:
President Trump threatens to “totally destroy North Korea.” Another hurricane lashes out. A second monster earthquake jolts Mexico. Terrorists strike in London. And that’s just this past week or so.

Yes, the world is clearly coming to an end. But is there anything you can do to prepare?

That is not a philosophical question, or a theological one. And if it is a question that seems to beg any explication, you may stop reading now.

But if you are among the swelling class of weekend paranoiacs of affluent means who are starting to mull fantasies of urban escape following the endless headlines about disasters, both natural and manufactured, you may be starting to see a different image in your mind when think “survivalist.” You may no longer see the wild-eyed cave dweller in camouflage fatigues, hoarding canned goods. You may even see one in the mirror.
