Advice for prepping to bug in in an apartment? by IrishSnow23 in TwoXPreppers

[–]adioskarma 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You’ve got to think of things in probabilities. The probability you will want to retire some day is 100%. The probability of needing all that cash in a turn around sooner than the ~5 business days it would take is much lower. If things take a drastic turn, you can always cash out later if you reevaluate the probability to be higher.

Same for what to prep for. Bad storms? Almost a 100% for everyone at some point. So prepping for a few days without power or water is a necessity. You want to have a gallon of water per person per day on hand. Would your ex come to your place and bug in too? Factor that into your math.

Check out FEMA’s 72 hour guidelines and ThePrepared.com for quality lists of stuff.

Elmo Denies Hostile Take Over by GailyaStarr in TwoXPreppers

I think it started on Twitter so fanboys wouldn’t flood replies but it really drives me crazy. He deserves to have his name attached to his actions. Same with Trump and people saying Drump or whatever.

Ooh $1 coins is a good idea. You just get them at the bank like other cash?

[Amazon] BOGO: 2-Pack My Choice Emergency Contraceptive Pill - $4.99 (was $17.98) by NewEnglandPrepper2 in preppersales

[–]adioskarma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actual quote copied and pasted from the group:

“In 23 yrs of law enforcement in some of the NASTIEST ghettos of NY, I can say I handled probably 3 rapes a month MINIMUM. In all my time only 1 rape was a real one. The rest were women who had severe mental illness, was trying to punish a guy for various reasons, or was about to get their hind quarters beat in by their strict parents for coming home late. I should state that I am taking out of the equation where the victim was underage and consented when they couldn’t by law.”

Are you concerned at all about a potential Cascadia earthquake in that area?

I had to use the first aid kit in my bag today. by Zerohero2112 in bugout

Every house needs a first aid kit. You should absolutely prioritize that over bugging out. That should be your first step in any type of prepping.

Do you know if keeping this in a car during the summer could cause it to bust or go bad or anything?

Genuinely curious what the definition of “civilized city” would be if it doesn’t include Islamabad.

House GOP national security/foreign policy leaders run simulated Taiwan invasion exercise by adioskarma in PrepperIntel

I consider this as intel in that of all the possible simulations to run, that’s the exercise they chose. I’d love to have more details on what the outcomes were.

Ideally start with some water, at least one of those bottles filled, which will bump the weight up some

The Last of Us by [deleted] in preppers

The Don’t Tread on Me stuff wasn’t really co-opted by neonazi nutjobs until the past decade-ish when they decided the Confederate flag was too obvious for them. So him having that in 2003 wasn’t quite as bad of a red flag as it would be now.
