Basically a write-up of lessons learned from a guy who helped out some friends during the whole Katrina deal. Really interesting read and some good information I thought.

Everyone should be ready. EMP blast, Ice storms, wind storms, new mardrid seismic zone, supervolcano yellowstone. The family has a six month supply of dry goods in pantry that we cycle out from time to time. That and a shotgun.
Good read. ONe point of mine is learing to prep food without power. Dutch oven cooking is the way to go for that I think. Can't rely on propane to be available.

If you have enough ammo you can take what you need from everyone else.

Even if I had a gun in a disaster situation, I doubt I could ever use it against someone less prepared.

I can't think of a gun I'd rather have than mine in that situation... I don't think anyone would DARE challenge me while I'm walking around with an AK slung over my shoulder....

Sure you could. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. It's even better when you have huge magazines so that you have plenty of ammo on demand in case anyone disagrees.
I need to buy a drum before they become illegal again

When they objected, they were threatened. They had pets, and wanted to know what would happen to them and they report that a uniformed man (agency unknown) began pointing his rifle at the pets with the words "I'll fix that". The husband then trained his own shotgun on the man and explained to him, in words of approximately one syllable, what was going to happen to him if he fired a shot.

I live in San Fran and i don't know when the next 'big one' will hit. I am somewhat prepared. I have a bug-out-bag that i prepared with 72 hours worth of supplies. It contains some food (protein bars), water, first aid kit, a multitool, flashlights, batteries, a mini prybar, toilet paper, clothes, $200 small bills, ID's and a pistol w/ ammo. I don't plan on using the pistol, but if the SHTF, i want to be prepared.
Everyone should have a bug out bag.
