    Default End of Days in 2012?

    I was watching Tv, of course it was for end of days December 2012, it got me to thinking, "what do I have to be prepared, just in case?" I got a quick ammo check, and sadly realize, the only ammunition I have any abundance of is .22 ammo. My 40 cal is dangerously low, my 9mm is even lower and my .380 not even worth mentioning.
    Thankfully my years in the army have me prepared with gear such as ruck sacks, cold weather gear, containers to hold water and keep it on myself and my wife. My year and a half or so as an LEO (of sorts) has me prepared to keep weapons and ammo on my duty belt.
    However, food supplies are that of an unconcerned person, nothing is stock piled, then again I wouldn't dream of holding up inside my home, or Flint City for that matter.
    So my question is, are you prepared? If so, in what ways? What do you have incase ***** happens?

    Well if the world truly ends and all people are wiped out, you don't need to prep, you'll be dead like everyone else lol....That would be the definition of the "end of days"....but if you are talking about civil collapse and having to rough it for a while, well then I'd say have at least 500 rounds of various ammo, food for a few months, and some basic supplies around the house. I know I can't bug out with three young children, I would relocate via car, but no chance of walking anywhere with three little ones. In fact, bugging out would be HARD if I were solo.

    You read a lot of recommendations on having 1k worth of rounds for every gun. You can't possibly carry that much ammo for even 2 guns when you also add in food, water, and shelter. Bugging out should be a last resort. Now moving to a better location, friend's house, relatives, etc, that should always be an option but one executed early before travel would become too difficult.

    But go with some basics and you'll be fine....

    I read the link posted above on getting started WOW...If I had $50k sitting around...I did some VERY basic prep last year, food, better weapon, and ammo + some basic supplies I didn't have and I was in for around $2k if you take out the AR I bought. That list would run you a WHOLE lot more. There is really no amount of supplies you can buy that will get you through until things returned to normal. Knowledge is far cheaper to come by and never runs out.

    Once again I find myself at the table with my crazy relatives.

    You could have left out the hurricanes reference. I'm tired of them. Next hurricane I'm heading back to Sandpoint for a vacation.
